  1. I'm reading a book on reversing arteriosclerosis and
    cleaning arteries. Among other things, it suggests spending
    2 periods a day each lasting 1/2 hour and breathing pure
    oxygen from a tank (as opposed to a concentrator).

    What are the benefits of oxygen breathing? In small doses
    such as this, are there any negative effects possible?

    It makes money for the company that provides the oxygen.

    Some people may retain CO2. Oxygen, in too high
    concentrations, can be harmful. All the antioxidants work
    against oxygen. So too much oxygen will help defeat the
    antioxidants.

    The book, you say, "suggests" spending two periods a day
    breating pure O2. What evidence does it have that this will
    help? Does it talk about how this would increase
    inflamation, which will make arteriosclerosis worse?

    I think the whole supplemental O2 thing is utter [censored].
    You're probably best off bringing the book with you on your
    next hike through the woods and burying it.

    I saw a documentary recently discussing the effects of
    oxygen and it suggested that oxygen is actually our enemy
    and responsible for the deterioration we suffer as we age.
    Kind of like rust in metal which is caused by oxygen also.

    Many of the antioxidants and other supplements and vitamins
    we take are taken to help protect and cleanse our bodies of
    toxins caused by various aspects of our lives of which
    oxygen is a major player.

    I am relying on memory and considering the time, I'm not
    about to look up some reference for you right now, but
    may tomorrow.

    I think it would be even more beneficial not to bury it, but
    to continue carrying it everywhere.

    ``People who live at very high altitudes live significantly
    longer; they have a lower incidence of cancer (Weinberg, et
    al., 1987) and heart disease (Mortimer, et al., 1977), and
    other degenerative conditions, than people who live near
    sea level.''
