WHILE oxygen is essential to survival, sometimes too much of this good thing can cause our body to age faster and get sick sooner.
The process of “putrefaction” can set in outside and inside the body. When food is exposed to the air, microbes invade the protein, peptides and amino acids found in eggs, fish and meat.
Microbes occur inside the digestive tract. Then oxidation produces waste products that need to be expelled from the body.
The presence of toxic waste products causes various conditions: Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia—liver damage; histamines—asthma or allergies; indoles, phenols and scatoles—cancer.
The body’s natural defense is to release neutrophils (a type of white corpuscles). However, for neutrophil to work, there is a lot of active oxygen. Studies have shown that an excess of active oxygen is bad. Protection against oxidation is called anti-oxidant, vitamins and minerals whose function is to prevent the natural rusting away inside the body. This includes A, C, E, betacarotene, selenium and glutathione. They contain natural blockers of the interaction of free radical cells with normal healthy cells.
Excessively offensive stools indicate the presence of toxins and are indications of certain diseases.
There is a powerful weapon against oxidation. It’s called oxygen reduction potential (ORP). While a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin/mineral supplementation is increased ORP, there is yet another defensive choice—water. But not just any water. Ionized water is the result of mild electrolysis. It is filtered and reformed so that it contains a large mass of electrons which block the oxidation of normal cells.
Take your average tap water with a pH of 7 (that’s neutral). It’s neither acidic (less than pH 7) nor alkaline (above 7). When measured, its ORP value isn’t good enough to fend off free radical damage. Ionized water has the highest of redox (reduced oxidation/oxygen) potential.
