Energy Detox: for improved health
You can live for weeks
without food, days without water but only minutes without oxygen.
Breathing is the single most important thing we ever do. It's the first
thing we do and the last. Go without it for just a few minutes and
you're dead. Breathing, quite frankly, is the most underrated activity.
Oxygen has to be at the
top of the list, right? But it never even occurs to us to think about oxygen. Many of us pay fanatical attention to the
amount of calories and fats we consume. We never consider that our
problems, even weight gain/loss, may be related to oxygen. Look at it
like this: if your car's not running right, you don't keep trying
different types of gas/petrol. You take it to a mechanic and tune it up.
You work on the heart of the problem: the system that runs the gas/petrol
and oil.
Our bodies process three
things: food, liquid, and oxygen. While we might enjoy the food and the
liquid more, it's the oxygen that actually provides the fuel that runs our
body. Oxygen, through a process called oxidation, chemically changes food
and liquid into energy. It's this "oxygen fire" that contracts our
muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains, and even calms our nerves.
Oxygen is so important
that it affects everything about us, from the minor to the major. In 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg won the
Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering that there is one prime cause of
cancer. Thanks to him it is known that a perversion of the cell
oxygenation process is at the heart of cancer development. There are
countless secondary causes, but there is only one prime cause....the
replacement of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic
[oxygen-lacking] cell respiration.
There are innumerable secondary causes of cancer and
minimizing them and their harmful effects can be helpful in preventing
cancer. But endlessly pursuing new secondary causes, liking smoking,
environmental, chemical, medical, food additives, trans-fats, viruses and
even genetic mutations, without explaining specifically what common effect
they have on our cells, is worse than useless. Make no mistake about this:
the thing every secondary cause of cancer has in common with every other
one is that it leads directly or indirectly to insufficient oxygen in the
cell. Therefore, if we directly address the question of how to get
sufficient oxygen into the cells, we will have minimised the danger from
EVERY type of secondary cause.
Oxygen contributes to proper metabolic function,
better circulation, assimilation, digestion and elimination, helps purify
the blood, and strengthens the immune system. Most bacteria and viruses
that can potentially make you sick are anaerobic pathogens meaning that
they cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. Oxygen produces over 90
percent of the body’s energy. Not only that, but breathing is your body's chief
cleansing tool. Yes, 70 per cent of the body's finer wastes are processed
through breathing.
Every day, your body burns off some seven billion
old cells, which are toxic.
This is a normal, natural process of the body and nothing to worry about
unless for some reason this toxic waste material is not eliminated at the
same rate it's being produced. As long as we're breathing properly
and getting plenty of oxygen, there is sufficient energy and the waste is
easily eliminated. The problem comes when we cannot utilize the oxygen we
take in.
You see, the body can store up food and some liquid, but it can't store oxygen.
When you don't get enough oxygen (most of us don't, not
because we aren't getting enough - we breath at least 17,000 times a day -
the problem lies elsewhere), your metabolism automatically slows down. Your cells
can't burn up the fat appropriately. Consequently, your metabolism moves
into conservation mode. Scientists have identified two major metabolic
pathways: the ergotropic mode (that's the work mode) and the trophotropic
(that's the vacation mode).
Lets put it this way. If you were a boss and you were
hiring one of these two metabolic pathways, you'd definitely want to offer
the ergotrop more money. Plus benefits. The ergotropic mode always gets
the job done. It burns up fat. The trophotrop, on the other hand, is quite
lazy. When you don't get enough oxygen, your body automatically hires the
work shirking metabolism. But when you breathe deeply, you get to welcome
the hardworking metabolism to your team.
Other characteristics of people with slow metabolisms
are sluggish blood and an underfunctioning lymphatic system. And since the
lymph system is best compared to a sewer or a dump truck, when it doesn't
work properly, your body turns into New York City during the trash strike.
The garbage builds up. So detoxification is directly connected to oxygen
utlization.
