Oxygen Elements Plus's TOP ELEVEN BENEFITS

1) Oxygen Elements Plus is a powerful free radical scavenger. This is especially noticeable, for example, with patients who use it when they require chemotherapy and/or radiation. These patients report that they have fewer or no side effects. The results are especially good with nausea, weight loss, and hair loss.
2) Oxygen Elements Plus is also a metabolic efficiency catalyst. This means that it enhances nutrient absorption and increases waste metabolism. The users absorb more nutrient value from the foods and supplements they consume, because the trace mineral activated enzymes (both digestive and metabolic enzymes) work more efficiently. The strong catalytic activity of Oxygen Elements Plus allows for dosage reduction with drug therapy and promotes greater nutrient absorption and availability of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other nutrient factors.
3) Oxygen Elements Plus is an energy booster. With the increased energy reserves the Oxygen Elements Plus imparts, there is a gradual but significant detoxification of cellular wastes, allowing the body to function cleanly and efficiently, further increasing energy level over time. The trace element support of the digestive, nervous and endocrine systems functions may contribute to overall increased energy, relief from allergies, and decreased sleep requirements.
4) Oxygen Elements Plus is a detoxifier. When Oxygen Elements Plus is taken and the energy potential in the body is increased, the natural mechanism in most people's bodies is to increase metabolism of waste material out of the body. This can result in detoxification symptoms -- such as headaches, achiness, skin eruptions, recurrence of past symptoms -- if it is done too rapidly, and especially if the eliminative channels of the body are congested.
5) Oxygen Elements Plus is able to balance the body's metabolism. Oxygen Elements Plus is highly charged electrostatically, and its dibase solution has a bipolar valence, creating a dualistic healing approach to tissue imbalances. Meaning that whether there is an anabolic or catabolic imbalance, Oxygen Elements Plus can bring about an appropriate balance and activate the body's rapid healing response.
6) Oxygen Elements Plus is a wound healer. It acts as a free electron donor, repairing tissue on contact at the cellular level. People using Oxygen Elements Plus topically report very satisfactory results with warts, moles, other skin anomalies, athlete's foot, fingernail and toenail fungus, diabetic ulcers, and skin cancer. It cauterizes and disinfects wounds instantly. Painful paper cuts could heal in hours.
7) Oxygen Elements Plus is a fabulous water treatment. It was first developed in 1956 to make potable water for the military. The powerful bacteriostatic and flocculating effects of Oxygen Elements Plus can be witnessed by adding two drops of Oxygen Elements Plus to a gallon of water and setting the mixture aside for four to eight hours. The result is potable water.
8) Oxygen Elements Plus is great for plants, cut flowers, and pets flourish with Oxygen Elements Plus . This is great! Try it on your house plants or some cut flowers. Your plants will flourish with it. Put it in your pet's water and see what happens! Many people have reported to me that their pets prefer water with Oxygen Elements Plus.™
9) Oxygen Elements Plus is absolutely stable. It becomes more potent with age. Sunlight charges it's energy potential. Airport x-ray machines and other electromagnetic influences do not affect Oxygen Elements Plus .
10) Oxygen Elements Plus is extraordinary. There is no secret behind the value of trace minerals and micronutrients. The secret of the effectiveness of Oxygen Elements Plus is the physics involved in capturing, combining, and concentrating these elements into one easy-to-take drop in a glass of water. Because the elements in Oxygen Elements Plus are in a special ionic form in colloidal suspension, Oxygen Elements Plus is designed to replenish proper blood levels of these nutrients and enhance the metabolic benefit of other supplements and nutrients, as well as assist in the elimination of toxins and toxic waste materials from the body.
11) Oxygen Elements Plus is cost effective.

The therapeutic claims on your web site establish that the product is a drug because it is intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. The continued marketing of this product with these claims violates the Act and may subject you or the products to regulatory action without further notice.

Examples of some of the claims observed on your web site include:

"…will sober [you] up with no hangover the next morning."

"…improved health and stamina to people suffering with diseases such as MS, Cancer and AIDS."

"Benefits in the following areas: angina attacks"

"…asthma & emphysema"

"…bronchial infections"

"…sinus infections"

"…epileptic & alzheimers…"

"candida…"

"diabetes"

"…food poisoning"

"It is effective against Salmonella, Cholera, E coli, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus A."

"Aerobic Oxygen is great for diabetics!"

"Aerobic Oxygen is a must for heart problems!

Appearing in the context of the use of the product: "Emphysema, Asthma, Pneumonia, etc."

Furthermore, FDA has no information that your product is generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced conditions and therefore, the product may also be a "new drug" under section 201 (p) of the Act [21 USC 321(p)]. New drugs may not be legally marketed in the U.S. without prior approval from FDA as described in section 505(a) of the Act [21 USC 355(a)]. FDA approves a new drug on the basis of scientific data submitted by a drug sponsor to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective.

FDA is aware that Internet distributors may not know that the products they offer are regulated as drugs or that these drugs are not in compliance with the law. Many of these products may be legally marketed as dietary supplements or as cosmetics if therapeutic claims are removed from the promotional materials and the products otherwise comply with all applicable provisions of the Act and FDA regulations.

Under the Act, as amended by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), dietary supplements may be legally marketed with truthful and non-misleading claims to affect the structure or function of the body (structure/function claims), if certain conditions are met. However, claims that dietary supplements are intended to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, treat, or cure disease (disease claims), excepting health claims authorized for use by FDA, cause the products to be drugs. The intended use of a product may be established through product labels and labeling, catalogs, brochures, audio and videotapes, Internet sites, or other circumstances surrounding the distribution of the product. FDA has published a final rule intended to clarify the distinction between structure/function claims and disease claims. This document is available on the Internet at http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/fr000106.html (codified at 21 C.F.R. 101.93(g)).

In addition, only products that are intended for ingestion may be lawfully marketed as dietary supplements. Topical products and products intended to enter into the body directly through the skin or mucosal tissues, such as transdermal or sublingual products, are not dietary supplements. For these products, both disease and structure/function claims may cause them to be new drugs.

Certain over-the-counter drugs are not new drugs and may be legally marketed without prior approval from FDA. Additional information is available in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR) Parts 310 and 330-358, which contain FDA's regulations on over-the-counter drugs. This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive review of your web site and products your firm may market. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products marketed by your firm are in compliance with the Act and its implementing regulations.

If you need additional information or have questions concerning any products distributed through your web site, please contact FDA. You may reach FDA electronically (e-mail) at APope@CFSAN.FDA.GOV, or you may respond in writing to Angela F. Pope, Compliance Officer, Food and Drug Administration, Division of Compliance and Enforcement, 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, Maryland 20740-3835.

FTC Attacks "Stabilized Oxygen" Claims

Stephen Barrett, M.D.

Various products referred to as "stabilized" or "aerobic" oxygen," are being marketed with claims that they can cure disease by increasing oxygen delivery to the cells. Some claim that "oxygen deficiency" or "oxygen starvation" is an underlying cause of disease and has been increasing because the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere has been decreasing and junk food does not contain enough oxygen [A, B, C, D]. These claims are absurd -- for several reasons.

• There is no reason to believe that the products actually deliver oxygen to the body. It is possible to use an electric current to add a tiny amount of oxygen to water, but to access it, a human would need gills.
• Even if they could, taking oxygen into the stomach through a liquid, pill, or food would not significantly raise the body's blood level of oxygen.
• Oxygen enters the bloodstream through the lungs. The body adapts to what it needs by changing its breathing rate.
• The oxygen content of air is not changing and remains constant at 21% regardless of the weather.
• If enough oxygen is available to sustain life, the body will extract what it needs from the air and deliver what is needed to the cells. Blood returning to the lungs contains surplus oxygen.
• "Oxygen deficiency" is not an underlying cause of disease.

Two-ounce bottles of "3%"or "5%" solutions cost about $20 per bottle. Earth Portals also markets a higher-priced "super-oxygenated solution at 25% . . . for serious competitive athletes and individuals looking to get the maximum oxygen into the blood stream." At least a dozen companies have marketed such products.
The FTC Reacts

On March 11, 1999, the Federal Trade Commission filed suit charging Rose Creek Health Products, Inc., of Kettle Falls, Washington, its sister corporation (Staff of Life, doing business as R-Garden Internationale), and president Donald L. Smyth with making blatantly false and unsubstantiated health claims for "Vitamin O." [1] The defendants' ads -- which have appeared in USA Today, in other newspapers, and on the Internet -- have claimed that "Vitamin O" can cure or prevent serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. An National Public Radio report quoted Smyth as saying that his company was selling 50,000 bottles per month [2]. The FTC says that the product appears to be nothing more than salt water.
The defendants had claimed that "Vitamin O," when taken orally, enriches the bloodstream with supplemental oxygen. The ads state that Vitamin O consists of "intact oxygen molecules in a liquid solution of distilled water, sodium chloride and trace materials."
The complaint also states that the defendants, through statements and testimonials contained in their ads, falsely represented that "Vitamin O":

• administered orally allows oxygen molecules to be absorbed through the gastrointestinal system
• boosts energy, improves breathing, promotes sound sleep, sharpens concentration and memory,
• prevents and is an effective treatment for life-threatening diseases, including cancer and pulmonary disease
• is an effective treatment or prevention for many other physical ailments, including breathing problems, chronic headaches, infections, colds and flu
• regulates metabolism, aids digestion, relaxes nervous system, and has other beneficial effects on human health
• was developed by Dr. William F. Koch and used by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronauts during NASA space missions.

On May 3, 1999, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring Rose Creek and Staff of Life to stop making unsubstantiated claims that ingesting "Vitamin O" or spraying it on the skin can cure or prevent ailments. In addition, personal testimonials must include disclaimers.



Depite the injunction, R-Garden continued to use testimonials to promote "Vitamin O." A new booklet, accompanied by an order blank dated 7/7/99, contained more than 150 testimonials claiming benefit for asthma, canker sores, chronic bronchitis, cough, diabetic ulcers, ear infections, fatigue, glaucoma, hemorrhoids, arm and shoulder pain, immune weakness, lung emobolism, memory loss, obesity, prostate problems, shingles, and many other problems. One write-up even claimed that the user was able to stop using a breathing machine [3]. The booklet stated that, "as the research continues, and more people use the product, the results will be even more rewarding." Thirty-five of the write-ups are accompanied by a photograph. Each of the 30 pages containing testimonials included the following message in small print:

DISCLAIMER: These testimonials do not imply results will happen with your use of one of our products. We have no competent or reliable scientific evidence to suggest that the testimonial experience is due to the use of our products. These testimonials are not intended to recommend any supplement as a drug, as a diagnosis for specific illnesses or conditions, nor as a product to eliminate diseases or other medical conditions or complications. We make no medical claims as to the benefits of any of our products to improve medical conditions.

The FTC's guide to dietary supplement advertising states that advertisements must be truthful, not misleading, and presented so that they are actually understood by consumers [4]. A fine-print disclosure at the bottom of a print ad, for example, is unlikely to be an adequate disclaimer. I believe that R-Garden's booklet was still misleading.
Settlement Includes $375,000 Penalty

On May 1, 2000, the FTC announced that Smyth and his companies had signed a consent agreement under which they are prohibited from:

• Making any unsupported representation that "Vitamin O" or any substantially similar product prevents or is an effective treatment for life-threatening diseases, including but not limited to, cancer, cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease.
• Making any unsupported representation that the effectiveness of "Vitamin O" is established by medical or scientific research or studies.
• Making any untrue representation about the health benefits, performance, efficacy or safety of any other food, drug, or dietary supplement.
• Falsely stating that any academic, scientific, or government organization, or any individual with medical or scientific training, uses, is affiliated with, or otherwise endorses or supports, the defendants' products.
• Deceptively representing that any user testimonial or endorsement of a product represents the typical or ordinary experience of members of the public who use the product.
• Giving their distributors any promotional or marketing materials prohibited by the order.
• Permitting their distributors to make any representations prohibited by the order.

The defendants are required to notify each of their current and future distributors about the proposed order and to pay $375,000 for consumer redress [5]..
The FTC has indicated that it is looking at similar claims by other companies.

So, very expensive saline solution. Perhaps "Aerobic Oxygen" is a re-branding exercise.

It looks like The Finchley Clinic is a den of woo. In addition to Aerobic Oxygen it offers:

Electro-Crystal therapy

…stimulating frequencies are used for low energy states such as M.E., M.S. and cancer whilst calming frequencies are used more for pain and inflammation…

The Rife Machine

…So why have you never heard about it? The reasons are basically connected to the device threatening vested financial interests. The therapy was able to replace the use of medical drugs. As a consequence of this, the technology was suppressed. The reasons are explained in more detail in the book "The Cancer Cure That Worked" by Barry Lynes (pub. Marcus books ISBN 0-919951-30 9) which chronicles the entire saga…

Re. The product Oxygen elements plus, please see http://biomedx.com/hydroxygen/

In particular

Oxygen Elements Plus was developed out of research into nutritional supplementation and deuterium (also known as heavy water). Heavy water was the discovery of an American Chemist, Dr. Harold Urey. In 1931 Dr. Urey discovered heavy water in which the molecules consist of an atom of oxygen and two atoms of heavy hydrogen or deuterium. The identification of deuterium has been hailed as one of the foremost achievements of modern science for which Dr. Urey was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1934. Deuterium is all about something called di-base bi-polar chemistry. Oxygen Elements Plus is essentially heavy water with a proprietary process that adds minerals, amino acids and enzymes among other things.

Err isn't heavy water toxic in itself?

[Matt]

Err isn't heavy water toxic in itself?

Only very mildly

[median]

Thanks for that Matt.

Although, hardly a glowing advert for the product
If you're going to start something that professes to be beneficial to health, you would think to start with slightly something a tad healthier...unless of course your name is Hahnemann

[tolman]

It's funny that the blurb for the 'Rife machine' claims it was suppressed because it would threaten vested interests and undermine the market for drugs.
Given it was supposed to be able to cure cancer and TB, and was invented in the 1920s, some time before good drug treatments TB or any significant drug treatment for cancer started to become available, I guess those bad old drug companies must have suppressed it in anticipation of drugs they might eventually develop?

The 'Finchley clinic' also effectively claim *their* machine is better than the original, while also pretending that they aren't making medical claims about it.

[Mojo]

I wonder if they have any anaerobic oxygen.

I wonder if they have any anaerobic oxygen.

Well, the wonder substance 'Oxygen Elements Plus' is a free radical scavenger (which I thought tended to be called antioxidants in dietary terms) as well as a free electron donor (or reducing agent).
I'm not sure where 'Oxygen' is supposed to come into it.

From their claims of being a fantastic water purifier for military use (1 or 2 drops/litre, leave for 4-8 hours), it sounds rather like bleach, or some other oxidising agent.
In any case, the only portable chemical water treatments that seem to still get much used are iodine and chlorine.
I can't imagine the military would abandon a fantastic purification method, and if the method was around in the 1950s, it'd be long out of patent, and presumably everyone would be using it.
Especially if the same substance was also wonder wound healer and boosted energy and improved efficiency of food use, the military would be all over it, especially since it'd be dirt cheap, what with it being out of patent and everything.

[Mojo]

How long before the powers of darkness catch up with them? It can only be a matter of time, surely.
