Hi All,
I see my flat mate paying lots of his Hard earned pay of woowoo crap.
It upsets me to think a very intelligent person can do so without real evidence or medical support behind the products.
He claims it works for him, so thats great - but i also suspect he's been ripped off - and any affect felt is a perception that any placebo might give him.
He also tries to lecture me on their virtues. I am firmly camped on the skeptical side of the fence, and to date have suffred his rantings in good humour. His girlfriend also tolerates this too.
I have no wish to offend him - but i feel i ought to try and offer him something in the way of a critical analysis of these so called health Products.
The main products that are bought by him are Super Oxy suspeded oxygen.
and Mangosteen.
My SCUBA Diving theory and practice tells me good O'l 21% oxygen is about right for us humans in normal day to day circumstances, and higher concentrations are for medical use to treat specific problems. This alone makes me suspicious of that product. I cant find information that can help me better understand it, and perhap validate its value (or shoot it down in flames!!!). I know he's forking out nearly $70 bucks a bottle!!!
What advice can others give me on how to broach the topic with him, with the aim of getting him to research this out a bit better, and to perhaps have a more critical look at Health Products before reaching in for his wallet.
He's one of these types that just reads the testimonials or anecdotal claims and thats good enough.
I am sure people here must have cracked harder nuts!!
I have also pasted some text of claims / product info from the vendors website(s)
Any good advice appreciated
Cheers Simon.
"Oxygen Therapies have been used medically for over 100 years. The basis of the therapy is quite simple. Ultimately toxicity collects within the body over time. This build up of toxicity can have physical, emotional and behavioural co-factors, which must also be addressed. Such toxicity within the body invites the proliferation of anaerobic disease causing micro-organisms. Oxygen Therapies are used to flood the body with active forms of oxygen. When the body becomes safely saturated with these special forms of oxygen; it reaches a state of purity wherein the disease micro-organisms are killed; and the underlying toxicity is oxidised and eliminated from the body." Ed McCabe 1992.
Oxy-Boost Activated Stabilised Oxygen
Many scientists were stunned recently when it was revealed that air bubbles trapped in fossilised amber had been analysed and found to contain oxygen levels of 38%. Yet today, it is well known that the average oxygen content of air is only 19%-21%. In other words, since the early history of the earth it appears that there has been a 50% drop in the average oxygen content in the air we breathe. This suggests that the human body was originally designed to operate at a 50% stronger concentration of oxygen than is currently available.
Research suggests there to be direct correlation between decreases in oxygen levels and seemingly concurrent increases in human illness and disease.
"......German bio-chemist Dr. Otto Warburg who was awarded the Nobel prize for his research into the cause of cancer, was convinced that cancer cells can only begin to proliferate in the human body when the cells become oxygen deficient. Furthermore, his research showed that cancer cells cannot proliferate at all when exposed to an oxygen-rich environment"

Oxy-Boost Activated Stabilised Oxygen is based on a new generation of super oxygenation technology developed by Dr. William Koch M.D. Ph.D. which was later utilised by NASA for the space research program. It is a safe, non-toxic, supplement containing stabilised oxygen molecules in a liquid solution of sodium chloride (salt) and distilled water.
When taken orally as a daily supplement (5-10 sprays into the mouth under the tongue or 10-15 sprays into a glass of water or juice, three times per day), it makes pure oxygen available to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This gives your body’s cells and tissues the extra oxygen needed to fire your body’s vital oxidising processes.
Stabilised oxygen, it is said, can accelerate the results of herbal, vitamin, enzyme and mineral complementary supplements, boost energy levels, strengthen the immune system, heighten concentration and alertness, rapidly kill infectious bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites without harming beneficial micro-organisms needed by the body.
