Aging Against Oxygen

The process of oxygen inhalation is being hailed as a therapy that has been successful in the treatment of degenerative symptoms of advancing age, such as lung disease, stroke, arthritis, senility, and even wrinkles, declared Dr. Vincent Saurino of Florida, USA.

Aging is a process where gradually, for various reasons, not enough oxygen gets to the brain cells and they begin to starve. When we periodically resupply oxygen to these cells, it is astonishing how quickly they revive.

Food For Thought. Royal jelly from the queen bee contains more pantothenic acid (a B-vitamin, considered an enzyme-releasing energy from carbohydrates) than any other known natural substance--up to 6 times more than brewer's yeast. The queen bee will lay approximately 3,000,000 eggs in her lifetime (about 7 years).

Speaking of pantothenic acid, research findings have shown that falling hair and premature aging are often due to lack of this B-vitamin which is found in liver, egg yolk, yeast, milk, oats, dates and strawberries.

And here's a hair-growing secret from Japan: The enviable hair of Japanese geisha girls may be traced to a centuries-old secret. It is said that Japanese girls mix several tablespoons of honey with alcohol (about 80% proof), stirring them together. They then massage this remedy into the scalp, letting it remain for two hours, then shampoo out thoroughly. Regular use of this honey-alcohol mixture stimulates the hair follicles to grow into luxuriant tresses and keeping the hair healthy.

Vitamin C Kicks The Habit. Massive dosages of Vitamin C are helping dope addicts kick the habit. The vitamin blunts their heroin, eases their withdrawal pains and flushes the body of drug residue. Patients take 25 to 75 grams of Vitamin C a day, equivalent to 300 tablets.

When the patient shoots heroin into his veins, the high dosage of Vitamin C detoxifies his reaction. He gets no 'high' feeling. Dosage of the vitamin is gradually reduced as the addict gets off heroin completely. The high dosage creates diarrhea which flushes the narcotic out of the body.

Gastric Infection Protection. A mother who breast-feeds her child inoculates the baby with beneficial microorganisms, at first from her skin and then through her milk. The organism, called Lactobacillus bafidus (B. infantis), lives in the infant's intestines and helps regulate it against gastric infections.
