The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has been firmly established for a surprising number of years. Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931 and again in 1944 for discovering the cause of cancer. He said, "Cancer has only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic (oxygen-less) cell respiration." Once the level of oxygen available to a cell drops below 60% of normal, the cell is forced to switch to an inferior method of energy production -- fermentation. The cell can never be returned to the proper oxidation system, and loses its governor on replication. It begins to reproduce copies of itself wildly, a condition we call cancer.
The National Cancer Institute endorsed Dr. Warburg's findings in 1952. This research was continued by Dr. Harry Goldbatt, who published his findings in the Journal of Experimental Medicine in 1953. His research confirmed that lack of oxygen plays the major role in causing cells to become cancerous. Dr. Albert Wahl said, "Disease is due to a deficiency in the oxidation process of the body, leading to an accumulation of toxins. These toxins are ordinarily burned in normal oxidation." Dr. Wendell Hendricks of the Hendricks Research Foundation wrote: " Cancer is a condition within the body where the oxidation has become so depleted that the body cells have degenerated beyond control. The body is so overloaded with toxins that it sets up a tumor mass to harbor these poisons and remove them from general activity within the body."
The evidence from these doctors' research is conclusive. Oxygen plays the primary role in health and well-being. It is important to note that fear, worry and depression all interfere with free breathing and thus reduce oxygen uptake.

Amazingly, it’s taken until 2009 for that information to reach mainstream media. The Sunday Express published a landmark article entitled ‘Oxygen Kills Cancer’ on Sunday August 2nd 2009.

Whatever the whys and wherefores of why this information has taken such a long time to reach mass media the fact is that cancer is expected to affect 65% all people living in the Western world at this point in time. It’s therefore crucial that all of us gain the knowledge and knowhow to prevent, treat and recover from this often life-threatening disease.

And now for the good news ….our breath is our most wonderful asset whether one is looking to prevent, treat or recover from cancer. Fully oxygenating your body and therefore your cells is quite simply the most productive step you can take irrespective of your health status. However, if you are experiencing or recovering from cancer then learning to use your breath more effectively is absolutely essential.

Clearly, I am not the most objective source. I work with these techniques every day and have done for the past five years. I repeatedly see the results of clients learning to access the power of their breath and I continue to be awed by what I see. So don’t take it from me. Decide for yourself. There’s a lot of information out there on the net. Again and again you will see oxygen at the centre of the equation.
