Peripheral Neuropathy and (O2) Oxygen
Oxygen and Water Therapies
Oxygen deficiency is the direct precursor to nearly all illness and disease. Without this vital earth element, human life ends in approximately 6 minutes. That's how vital oxygen is to our cells - including nerve cells. Without it, they begin to shut down very quickly.
Oxygen deficiency symptoms include: stomach acid, bacterial, viral, parasitic infection, bronchial, poor circulation problems, dizziness, fatigue, irrational behavior, irritation, depression, lowered immunity to colds, flu and infections, memory loss, muscle aches, overall bodily weakness, poor digestion, tumors, and acidic deposit buildup in vital organs.
The sharpest of scientific minds are growing concerned that the human bodies are not getting anywhere near the levels of oxygen needed for peak health, vitality, immune system function, and longevity. They point to the growing evidence which suggests;
1) human bodies are meant to function at far higher concentrations of oxygen than it is currently getting;
2) the total dissolved oxygen content of most peoples bodies today is considerably lower than what is needed to maintain health, high energy levels and benefit proper metabolism; and
3) the lower the dissolved oxygen content, the greater our susceptibility to chronic illness and disease.

A few words from the experts...
"Serious disease conditions we find low oxygen level. Oxygen deficiency in our bodies tissues is an indicator for disease. Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease." - Dr. Stephen Levine. Renowned Molecular Biologist. Author, Oxygen Deficiency: Concomitant to All Degenerative Illness.

"Nobel prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg demonstrated over 50 years ago the basic difference between normal cells and cancer cells. Both derive energy from glucose, but the normal cell requires oxygen to combine with the glucose, while cancer cells break down glucose without oxygen, yielding only 1/15 the energy per glucose molecule that a normal cell produces. This is why cancer cells have such a huge appetite for sugar, and also why people who consume excessive quantities of sugar tend to get cancer more often."
(Every time Nobel Prize winner lowered the oxygen level in a healthy it became cancerous.)

"...When the body has ample oxygen, it produces enough energy to optimize metabolism and eliminate accumulated toxic wastes in the tissues. Natural immunity is achieved when the immune system is not burdened with heavy "toxic buildup". Detoxification occurs when oxygen is introduced into the system". Dr. Norman McVea

"Deep diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect which pulls the lymph through the bloodstream. This increases the rate of toxic elimination by as much as 15 times the normal rate." --Dr. J.W. Shields, MD, Lymph, lymph glands, and homeostasis. Lymphology, v25, n4, Dec. 1992, p. 147
As in all cellular combustion, oxidative enzymes are required as catalysts in this process.

Note: We've found literally hundreds of these kinds of statements by MDs, PhDs and researches alike regarding oxygen, water, and our desperate need to get more of both. remember, neuropathies are directly caused by Anoxia - the lack of oxygen. This is why oxygen therapies are often employed as an alternative (or supplement) to drugs.

Oxygen therapy and neuropathy.
Clinical setting treatments may include Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT); intravenous (blood transfusion); breathing masks; nasal cannula (tube through sinus), and more.
Home use therapies can include simple breathing exercises or a prescription breathing mask device, but many home products use water as the carrier to deliver the much needed O2. You can also invest in a HBOT chamber for home use in severe cases - confer with a physician before doing so.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (abbreviated HBOT therapy) is a medical treatment that uses pure oxygen to speed and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an American Medical Association, FDA and Medicare approved modality. While sometimes hyperbaric medicine procedures are used as a primary emergency treatment, it is more often used as a cost effective adjunct or enhancement therapy. Supervised HBOT is a great way to go if you have good insurance. Otherwise, it can get quite expensive. Fortunately, there are other ways to dramatically increase your daily oxygen needs.

Oxygenated Water
Oxygenated water is a very efficient way to deliver dissolved oxygen to the body. The super wetting hexagonal structure efficiently carries the extra oxygen, energy, and ionic minerals deep into the cellular environment within minutes after drinking. Absorption begins almost immediately.
Another great thing about water delivery is that you're getting adequate water! Dehydration in itself can be a contributing factor in the development of neuropathy. By increasing water intake, blood pressure is normalized, circulation is improved, more oxygen and nutrients reach our extremities.
Professor and Doctor of Medicine, Nasser Drakhsan of Heinrich Heine University, Germany was influenced by the cardiovascular surgeon A. Pakdaman to research the use of oxygen as a therapy. His research revealed that the oxygen rich water decreased nitrates, reduced oxidative stress, increased oxygen levels and assisted the body in removal of toxins, especially the effluents of the chemical industry and agriculture.
Double blind studies done with Pakdaman’s oxygen enhanced water demonstrated significant improvement in blood and immune system function. "Oral oxygen therapy" he says, "is not widely used. It is surprising that the therapy, which has no side effects and does not need constant doctor’s supervision, has not found a wider audience."
Dr. Pakdaman found that "oral oxygen is absorbed by diffusion and osmosis through the cells in the stomach and intestines and reaches the bodies blood circulation through the portal vein. Such additional oxygen can perform all thesame functions as the oxygen absorbed through the lungs. Energies are increased and the quality of life can be improved."

Ozonated Water
Ozone is another form of Oxygen therapy. Ozone is a relatively simple molecule, consisting of 3 oxygen atoms. Ozone is O3, whereas the oxygen we breathe is O2. Ozone is oxygen in it's most active state. Not only is it an effective way to oxygenate tissue, but ozone presents a unique ability to break down hardened plaque in arteries, capillaries, and veins, dramatically improving circulation. (which improves oxygenation)
Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, Bacteriological Research, Longview Medical Hospital, Cleveland OH; Professor Emeritus, Experimental Bacteriology, Mayo Foundation; and several other famous doctors and researchers have studied the effect of increasing the body’s oxygen by oral applications of oxygen with ozone therapies.
One point of interest found in there research is that ozone further activates the enzyme 2,3 Diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) in hemoglobin t6o release oxygen. This is of particular importance to diabetics, in which 2, 3-DPG is depressed. One of ozone's abilities toincrease oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues is due to the induced increase of 2,3-DPG in the red blood cells.

We all need more oxygen in our daily lives, especially if we're faced with disease. The list includes nearly all disease, so we won't list them here. A long term approach to healing from neuropathy and maintaining good circulation, good oxygenation, good nutrient delivery, and good nerve function should include some form of oxygen supplementation.
Statements about oxygen, ozone, neuropathy and others topics are for information only and should not in any way be used as a substitute for the advice of a physician or other licensed health care practitioner. Statements about neuropathy and the ReBuilder have not been reviewed by the FDA. Suggestions and ideas presented here should not be interpreted as medical advice, meant for diagnosing illness, or for prescriptive purposes. The ReBuilder system’s electrical stimulation has been proven 95% effective in recent clinical studies in reducing and even reversing the symptoms of neuropathy.
