A speaker (Ben Greenfield) asserts that the presence of oxygen equates to absence of disease, claiming that nearly all disease pathways are rooted in or worsened by low blood oxygen. The speaker gives hypoxia as a concrete example and states that all cancer begins in a hypoxic environment.
If I was to boil my entire career down to one sentence, I say this all the time. It would be that the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. Presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. Yes. We didn't. We did not find a single disease etiological pathway that did not either have its roots in the absence of blood oxygen or was not severely exacerbated by the absence of blood oxygen. Can you give me an example? Hypoxia. You know, all cancer begins in a hypoxic environment.
