Re: EWOT (Exercise with Oxygen)

[Guest guest]

Getting the body alkaline helps against cancer. Citric acid is good for

this. Try taking 1/2 lemon and squeezing it into glass of water and drinking

it. Delicious and good for you.

What I have heard is that , indeed we can not increase our red blood cell

O2. But with EWOT the oxygen content of the blood plasma is increased. It

is theorized that oxygen would be pushed into the body's cells via the law

of mass action. ??
