| The answer to why hyperbaric oxygen does not stop
cancer whereas ozone and H2O2 does
stop it, is related to the nature of the cancer cell.
Cancer cells are fermenting their sugar anaerobically. This is a
wasteful and energy poor process, producing only 150 kjoules of
energy. Aerobic oxidation of that same sugar would produce 2870
kjoules of energy for a good cell to use. So cancer cells are
perpetually underpowered. This lack of energy means that, among other
things, they cannot form the protective enzymes of superoxide
dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Without this
protection, the cancer cell is susceptible to cell lysis (hole in the
membrane) which destroys it.
Oxygen on its own, even pressurised, has too little oxidising power
to perform this cell lysis. Hydrogen peroxide has more power and can
do the job. Ozone has even more oxidising power and thus can do it
even better. Hydroxyl, OH, is an even more reactive species, with even
more oxidative power, which can do an even better job. But it is so
powerful, that it causes damage to good cells too, so it is safer to
stick with ozone, which is perfectly safe for internal use up to the
concentration level of 60 ug/ml.2 |
