ALL of the cells that make up your body need oxygen or they will DIE!
Hey, no joke!
Killing off cells sure won’t build health.
If your oxygen level falls low enough, it can stimulate your vagus nerve and cause your heart to stop.
Got that?
If you are ignoring your low oxygen level, you are risking DEATH!
Ask your family to tell you if your lips are blue. While you’re asking, find out if they think you have short term memory loss.

Water Retention: Is That Bloated and Puffy Feeling Anything To Worry About?

“Everyone gets a little bloated and puffy feeling, right? It’s a bit annoying to get up and use the toilet all night long, but no worries…..right?”
If your doctor isn’t concerned, why should you be?
It’s just a little water retention.
There Are Reasons YOU Should Be Concerned About Excess Fluid:
- Your body becomes completely out of balance when it holds on to fluid in an effort to protect you.
- Any excess fluid interferes with absorption of OXYGEN and NUTRITION!
- The sooner you achieve a healthy fluid balance, the less damage will be caused to your kidneys, heart and other vital organs.
- Rapid accumulation of fluids can be life threatening.
- Not using water effectively stresses your body.
- If you use water more effectively you will use oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients more effectively.
Creating a healthy fluid balance may be as simple as reducing your exposure to toxins, making better food choices, or supplementation with the right amount of the right nutrient.
Feeling better may be within your grasp.
Water, Precious Water!
Your body needs water! It is an important component of every one of the trillions of cells that makes up your body.
As well as carrying nutrients and oxygen to the cells, water eliminates waste products from your body.
When your body loses the ability to maintain your fluid balance, you are on a slippery slope of deterioration.
- At first you may notice it in your skin and hair
- Then you will start noticing it in your energy level
- Your mental clarity and attitude will suffer as well
The most likely cause of early water retention is foods you eat frequently.
When your daily favorites start to cause an allergy or sensitivity related histamine release, you will retain water.
Do you eat out frequently?
How Important Is Oxygen?

If you have low oxygen levels you are dying.
Denial is not effective treatment for low oxygen levels. Even if you “feel okay”.
Oxygen hitches a ride on your red blood cells in order to travel around your body. If your oxygen level is too low (below 92%) the oxygen molecules can’t make the leap. The pressure is too low.
When your oxygen level is below 92%, the oxygen that is in your blood cruises around in your circulation but the pressure isn’t high enough for it to actually get where it is needed.

Low oxygen levels rob you of your health and can kill you. Will you feel it if you have a low oxygen level?
Many people who have dangerously low oxygen levels report “feeling just fine” despite their pale color and confusion.
Watch for the following signs:
- water retention (especially feet/ ankles)
- shortness of breath/ difficulty breathing
- extreme fatigue
- chest tightness
- mental confusion/ short-term-memory loss
- tingling fingers
- chronic cough
- blue coloring around lips
- waking at night gasping for breath
Your body requires 92% blood oxygen saturation or above. There is no getting around your oxygen requirement.
If you ignore your low oxygen level you will lose your eye sight, short term memory, and your strength and stamina. The progressive weakening of your heart muscle will contribute to your heart failure.
Whether you feel concerned or not, get to your doctor and have your oxygen levels checked if you have any of the symptoms listed above.
It does NOT matter whether you suffer with low oxygen levels, or you “feel fine” with low oxygen levels, YOUR HEALTH WILL BE LOST! Read more

Low oxygen levels will kill you slowly, OR can kill you instantly.
For years I worked in a very large hospital in Tacoma, Washington. I can not count the times that I have been part of a CPR effort on someone who had taken their oxygen off to get out of bed, and then experienced a cardiac arrest in the bathroom.
Very low oxygen levels can cause stimulation of your vagus nerve, which can stop your heart. Bearing down can also stimulate the vagus nerve.
You do NOT want to have low oxygen levels when you are sitting on the toilet!
2am, lunch time for night shift, the familiar bells, bing-bing-bing. Code 4 room xyz, Code 4 room xyz!
Instead of lunch, we were on our knees in shit, trying to save someones life.
You WANT to meet your oxygen needs, especially when you are on the toilet.
If you have low blood oxygen levels any time you exert yourself, sleep, habitually hold your breath, or anything else you might do, you are robbing your vital organs of the oxygen needed for wellness.
If you have low blood oxygen levels you WILL lose your eye sight, your short term memory, your strength, and your charming disposition.
Guaranteed.

Definition Of Happiness: Did You Know That Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness Depend On Your Breath?

What is YOUR definition of happiness?
It may seem hard to believe, but your health, wealth and happiness most definitely depend directly on the quality of your breath.
Clinical studies prove that oxygen, wellness, and life-span are totally dependent on proper breathing.
Lung volume is a primary marker for how long you will live.
Past the mid twenties the average person loses 9–25% of their lung capacity per decade!
When I started teaching rehabilitation, I thought that the cause of this decline in lung function was from “couch potato syndrome”. You know, from not moving enough.
Then as I got to know my patients, I noticed something else. Read more
