The 21^st Century brings with it exciting and new innovations in the field of natural healing. Hyperbaric chambers, ionized water and the scientific discovery of the importance of reactive molecules are all noninvasive, safe and have the ability to work well with other treatments.

None of these discoveries involve drugs. And none are magical cure-alls. In all cases, however, each is extremely, if not extraordinarily, useful to the healing process. The main ‘ingredient’ across the board is oxygen. It’s true that the presence of oxygen can make the difference between health and disease. Too little oxygen can create a reduced biological energy that can lead to conditions as simple as mild tiredness or fatigue to a full blown disease that has the potential of becoming life threatening.

The common characteristic between these three advanced forms of treating or reacting to disease is the ability to introduce elevated levels of healthy oxygen to the body. But why is oxygen important? When we go back to 1931 we find that Dr. Otto Warburg received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He declares, “…the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.”¹

It goes without saying that if we as individuals are able to introduce greater supplies of oxygen naturally to our cells and in particular to our defective cells, we can maintain a stronger immune system and keep our cellular structure more resistant to disease.

Through hyperbaric oxygen therapy [HBOT], oxygen is forced into the body’s tissues thereby increasing circulation where it has been impaired. The use of normal-pressure oxygen is f
orced into the red blood cells where disease can be fought at a higher level with a strengthened immune system. The diseases ability to create a loss of oxygen to tissues now becomes thawarted.² A heightened awareness of the internal terrain to protect itself against encroaching disease can be achieved in many, if not most, cases.

Ionized water has been in full use both in private residences and clinical settings in hospitals and doctor’s offices throughout Japan for decades. Through an electrolyzed process whereby water and electricity are combined, the process results in a restructuring of water into positive (acidic or anion) ions and negative (alkaline or cation) ions. This technique introduces higher oxygen into the alkaline water and is measured in ORPs otherwise known as Oxidation Reduction Potential. As the ORP level, measured by a specially designed meter, goes lower the presence of oxygen increases in the water. An individual drinking ionized alkaline water can improve the oxygenated quality of the interstitial fluids throughout the body that contributes to a strengthening of the immune system.

Reactive molecules bring about the process of redox signaling and redox signaling, among a complex process of communication, tells the body when a battle from oxidative stress has been fought and hopefully won. It is then that rebuilding the cellular structure begins. Redox-induced messengers signal new tissues being formed that they need oxygen and nutrients. Vascular growth is motivated by these messengers. All of which is imperative for the adequate feeding of new tissues. It follows that the healing process then moves forward. The fascinating intricacy of the process is that cells become able to identify when they are in distress and call up the necessary action to get things back on track. We know that stress on the cells leads to imbalance. And imbalance triggers the correct action to bring the cells back to balance. This choreography is essential to life itself.
