Thanks for the informative post.
The doctors have revealed that if the body is insufficient with oxygen, then diseases would definitely incur in the body. In his studies, a cell that is deprived with 35% oxygen for 48 hours,is likely to become cancerous. In our time today, cancer is so widespread as well as other diseases like AIDS because most people suffer from oxygen deprivation. A cure for cancer and other diseases is just a matter of getting rid of the cause of the disease.
