#14. The oxygen connection

“Everyone on this planet needs to be made aware that for several
years now I have met and keep meeting people who no longer have
AIDS, cancer, and almost any other disease you can think of, due to the
continual and correct application of oxygen therapies.”

---Ed McCabe (Ed McCabe went to jail).

There are many alternatives therapies you can consider. None of them have been
proven completely successful in all cases. But then, neither has conventional
therapy. You only have read the obituary columns to realize that.


But at least alternatives are not dangerous and will at least not harm you, even if
they fail. You will not have irrevocably damaged your body’s defences, making it
hard for you to mount a come back against the disease, as happens with chemo
and radiation.


Oxygen therapies.


I’m going to start with a little scientific and slightly technical background to a
whole range of very useful therapies. It concerns the fact that cancer cells are
not like any other cells—in a number of respects— but particularly in how they
metabolize and create energy for living and multiplication.


Ordinary cells use a pathway that is rich in oxygen, called the Kreb’s cycle. It
is highly effective and is what breathes life into us humans. But cancer cells
don’t like oxygen. They use an alternative pathway, called glycolysis. That’s just
a fancy ancient Greek word for breakdown of glucose to release energy—but
cancer cells do it with little or no oxygen. In fact cancer cells don’t like oxygen at
all—they cannot flourish in its presence.


All this was discovered over 70 years ago by a German doctor called Otto
Warburg. He made a significant number of discoveries and was awarded the
Nobel prize in 1931. He showed that cancer cells cannot use oxygen in the same
way as normal cells and use anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism instead.
Remarkably, his work was then ignored for the next 60 years. Only recently have
scientific studies re-discovered what he said and proved he was right. Warburg’s
theories have even been extended.
