Reversing the Aging Process

by Jim Stuebe

We can live weeks without food, days without water but only minutes without oxygen. Without oxygen, we die quickly.

Dr. Samuel West spent the last 25 years researching the critical need for oxygen. His research has shown him that whereas the absence of oxygen leads to disease and death, an abundance of oxygen can cure all disease and significantly enable us to retain the vigor of youth.

His recent book, "The Golden Seven Plus One," documents the complete healing of many major physical illnesses through oxygenation of the body. After reviewing Dr. West's tapes and book, the reason is obvious. Oxygen heals. Adequate oxygen prevents disease and aging. Dr. West's research has led to scientific conclusions of how diseases develop and how correct oxygenation can prevent and even reverse the disease and aging processes.

One of the fallacies of current medical understanding is that since oxygen is present in the air we breathe, oxygen is absorbed into our bodies. But that is not what the research shows. When blood protein, poisons and water are released into the cells from the blood stream it becomes impossible for the cells to take on oxygen.

To begin with, enough oxygen is needed in the bloodstream to switch on the sodium potassium pump in every cell. These sodium potassium pumps generate electricity in every living organism. It is this electrical energy that enables vision, superior brain function, effective heart function and muscular ability to walk and run.

Dr. West has revealed that until the cells are dry, there is not enough oxygen present to turn the pumps on. Unless blood protein and water is removed from the space around the cells by the lymphatic vessels, a person would die within 24 hours. Additional research has proven that deep breathing (oxygenation) activates the lymphatic vessels that pull out the dead cells and water which allows the cells to reach the dry state that enables the cells to absorb the oxygen.

Dr. West and approximately 400 other doctors around the world now agree that "To be a constantly shallow breather is suicide." He and other researchers have proven that deep breathing activates the lymphatic vessels, which run alongside the blood vessels as well as in between and through the cells that separate the blood and the lymphatic system. The lymphatic vessels are the conduits that pull out the poisons, dead cells, and excess water to keep the cells in a dry state. Lymphatic vessels are energy sensitive.

Energy sources such as deep breathing, light, herbs, laying-on-of-hands, rebounding, Chi machines or the healing energy of God activate the vessels. The healing process is electrical and can occur in seconds, acting something like the electric paddles that bring patients back to life.

Keeping the cells in a dry state eliminates disease. Poisons kill because they dilate the blood capillaries, which in turn lets the blood protein and water out of the bloodstream to saturate the cells. Poisons can be both emotional reactions and physical toxins.

Emotions and food can trap blood proteins. One of the first indications of poisoning is thirst, because the water being pulled out of the blood stream causes a loss of energy.

This explains the intense electrical energy and tingling that most people feel when they do a breathing session or utilize a Chi machine. The sodium potassium pumps are getting switched on to remove the water and poisons from the cells, which allow us to receive the Power which we commonly refer to as Chi, the Chinese word for Life Force. Finally we have a scientific and medical explanation for all the remarkable healings.

Deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen, the body becomes ripe for disease. In his book, 'The Cause and Prevention of Cancer," Dr. Otto Warburg, winner of a Nobel prize for physiology and medicine, concluded that oxygen deprivation was a major cause of cancer and that with a steady supply of oxygen to all the cells, cancer could be prevented indefinitely.

If oxygen is so important to good health, why are so many of us oxygen-deprived? The automatic act of breathing brings in some oxygen every minute but, in our polluted cities and with inactive lifestyles that do not force deep breathing, most people do not get enough oxygen to power a healthy body. In addition, poor diet compounds the problem. Processed foods contain no oxygen, but even oxygen-rich foods lose their oxygen content when cooked. A living-foods diet, on the other hand, offers the body continual and abundant supply of oxygen.

This rapid aging effect of reduced oxygen is noticed with smokers. The odorless gas in cigarettes is 240 times stronger than oxygen in its magnetic attraction to hemoglobin, and when it is bonded to the blood cell it instantly eradicates the molecule of oxygen that was there. This results in a deficiency of oxygen which, in turn, prevents the cellular absorption of nutrients. The cells in a smoker's body age quickly due to cell starvation. Up to 10% of all hemoglobin in a smoker's body is tied up with carbon monoxide when one is smoking, and the carbon monoxide remains in the body for several hours after one has stopped. Chain smokers are never completely rid of this poisonous gas.

What is the solution to adequate oxygen absorption? Choose foods that feed, rather than rob your body of oxygen. An oxygen rich diet emphasizes chlorophyll-rich foods: dark-green leafy vegetables, cucumbers, broccoli, celery, cabbage, and sprouts. To a lesser degree, you can also obtain oxygen from root vegetables, grains and fruits. Clearly, the two best ways to gain oxygen for a healthy, youthful life are through a diet rich in greens and a daily regimen of the exercises mentioned above that activate the lymphatic system.
