Book Summary: Flood Your Body with Oxygen – Therapy for Our Polluted World – Written by Ed McCabe

This book is a 600-page encyclopedia on oxygen therapies. I must admit that I was not at all familiar with the power of oxygen when it comes to health and performance. I find it important to study and research wellness, especially with the state of our “Health Care System” or, better yet, our “Health Care System”.

Why is this important to me? I ask this question so as not to waste your time. I think that without health you have nothing. Everything else can be achieved if you have your health. To that end, it makes sense to study it.

1. Symptom vs. Root Cause: Have You Ever Considered Cancer Treatment? Millions of dollars a year are donated to cancer research and some of it is excellent, but more than 700,000 people will die from it in the United States. Treatment for cancer is to poison it (chemotherapy), burn it (radiation), and cut it (surgery). Have you ever thought about the root cause? Treatment removes the cancer as a symptom, but the root cause is usually not addressed.

2. Environmental factors – Do you know Doctor Oz? Has a daytime television program on health. One of his colleagues, Dr. Hyman, talks about the root causes of disease, such as heavy metal toxicity, mineral deficiencies, and acidity in the body. Food supply, pollution, and stress are key factors that need to be reviewed to achieve true health and address the root causes of health problems.

Flood Your Body With Oxygen has an informational tone on the benefits of oxygen along with case studies. The book is too long to review in its entirety, so I will point out a few key factors.

1. Why oxygen? – The premise of oxygen therapy is so simple that it seems too easy to be true. Here it is: anaerobic disease cannot live in aerobic environments. In English, this means that fish cannot live out of water and we cannot live under water. Viruses, bacteria, and other water-borne diseases cannot live in oxygenated environments. Think of the environment as the blood vapor and lymphatic system. The brain works with oxygen and glucose. You can survive without food for 30 days, without water for 7 days, but without oxygen for a few minutes, and you end up with severe brain damage and most likely death. Oxygen is the backbone of health and the environment does not provide enough. Oxygen therapies include 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, ozone, hyperbaric chambers, and oxygen supplements.

2. Acid / Alkali PH – Anthony Robbins has done a great deal of research on alkalinity in the body. The benefits are extraordinary. Example: in a very acidic body, cholesterol is formed to protect the walls of the arteries. One remedy for the symptoms is to take Lipitor and enrich the pharmaceutical companies. This does nothing to address the cause of a highly acidic environment. Alkaline foods and oxygen therapies reduce acid.

3. Case Studies: Ed describes hundreds of case studies of near-death HIV and cancer patients who used oxygen therapies and survived. You do not have to be sick to do this. OxyWater is a drink that has tons of testimonials from athletes who use it to improve their oxygen consumption and performance.

4. Politics and money: caring for the sick is big business. It takes an investment of $ 800 million to get FDA approval. How do companies do when oxygen therapies like H2O2 can be used for 10 cents a day? How are these therapies patented when they are common knowledge and not patentable? Ed’s answer in his book is that you discredit these therapies and push for expensive drugs. Some of the prescription drug commercials are disgusting. You take Abilify to help with depression, but your head may explode and you may die, but take it anyway. It is absolutely ridiculous.

Before doing health book reviews, I like to try things out on my own. First I wanted to do the 35% hydrogen peroxide cleanup that is described in One Minute Cure (see website). I did this and my energy levels skyrocketed. I was able to write my first book with this extra energy because I felt the extra brain power due to the oxygen. Now a couple of caveats, # 1 – this could be a placebo effect and # 2 – my first book might suck, but I’ll continue to use these therapies because they make sense. I will report because every year I usually catch a cold twice a year. Ed mentions that he has not been ill in 15 years prior to oxygen therapies, he was ill often. I’m really curious if this works and will let you know since I’ve only been on this for 90 days. Also, I was able to improve my alkaline pH reading with oxygen. Tony Robbins travels the world and sees millions of people every year and he doesn’t get sick either. He is a great defender of alkaline blood. The key is to have a clean internal environment so that diseases cannot grow. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF THESE SIMPLE CONCEPTS WORK FOR ME IN THE LONG TERM.

I hope this short summary has been helpful to you. The key to any new idea is to incorporate it into your daily routine until it becomes a habit. Habits are formed in just 21 days. One thing you can take away from this book is that waterborne diseases cannot live in oxygen-rich environments. There are various research papers and this is a well known fact. I encourage you to be responsible for your own well-being and health because no one cares as much as you do. You cannot help others if you do not have your health.
