November/December 2000 Alternative Health
Breathing, Oxygen & Disease
by Judith Kravitz
Why, when we can go months without food and days without water,
do we die in just a few minutes without oxygen? Haunted by this
question, Dr. Samuel West D.N., N.D. has spent the past 25 years
researching the important role of oxygen in our system. In trying
to understand the mechanism, his research led him to a far more
important discovery. Whereas the absence of oxygen leads to disease
and eventually death, an abundance of oxygen can virtually cure
all disease.
Dr. West, the founder of The World Wide Blood Protein Research
Society based in Orem, Utah, has relentlessly pursued his theories
for over 25 years. In his long journey to understand the nature
of disease he was led to important information carefully tucked
away in obscure books and medical journals. He spent years thoroughly
testing his ideas. His recent book The Golden Seven Plus One
from Samuel Publishing, documents the complete healing of many
major physical illnesses through the oxygenation of the body. This
information had been hidden for many years, perhaps intentionally
suppressed by those with vested interests. Dr.. West asks wryly,
“Will people do the research that will put them out of business?”
Transformational Breathing is a healing process that delivers vast
amounts of oxygen to the system. For over twenty years I have witnessed
multitudes of physical healings and disease remission without fully
understanding why this happens. Now, after listening to Dr. West’s
tapes and reading his remarkable book, I finally understand the
scientific reasons for such occurrences.
In 1980, the media announced that by 1982 one out of every five
people will die of a serious disease. By 1986 that figure changed
to one out of every three and by 1990 the statistics showed that
one half of us would have a major disease when we died. Now in
the year 2000 that figure has risen to 9.8 out of 10. According
to Dr. West this means we are well on our way to the total destruction
of the human race. Never has the need to learn how to eliminate
disease been so urgent and essential.
Dr. West’s scientific research has led him to conclude that
diseases stem from the accumulation of cellular debris, toxins and
especially excess fluid in the spaces around the body’s cells.
This prevents the cell from getting enough oxygen to fuel its functions.
This condition comes about when there is both inadequate lymphatic
circulation and particularly when there is inadequate intake of
oxygen through the lungs. A cell is quite like a candle flame whose
light gets dimmer as oxygen is depleted, and eventually it goes
out.
Dr.. West demonstrated that deep breathing both activates the lymphatic
system that flushes the body of trapped proteins and fluids, while
the oxygen turns on the sodium- potassium pumps that provide electrical
energy for the functioning of the entire body. Dr. West stated
simply that, “If we have oxygen poor blood, we just die…so
to be a constantly shallow breather is suicide.”
We can support the healing process within our bodies by learning
how to activate our lymphatic circulation, allowing cells to get
the oxygen necessary to do their jobs. Full diaphragmatic breathing,
such as what we teach and practice in Transformational Breathwork,
is the primary way the lymphatic system becomes stimulated to work
effectively. This explains the intense electrical energy and tingling
that most people feel when they do a breathing session. It represents
the activation of the sodium-potassium pumps that pull excess water
out and allow the cells to receive the “Power” which we
commonly refer to in Transformational Breath as the Life Force.
Over the past two and a half decades, I have witnessed amazing
cases where disease and debilitating physical conditions have virtually
been eliminated through the breathing. The information that Dr.
West brings us explains thousands of healings I have heard of and
witnessed. This new scientific information will revolutionize medicine,
as we know it. We now have an understanding and God given technology
to bring our bodies to a self-healing state, where they can function
in wholeness and well-being.
The Transformational Breath Foundation is presenting
Introductory Workshops on November 16 and 17 at 7PM at Bethel UCC,
6th and Watson in Beaverton. Suggested donation is $25. Most participants
say "That was the most profound experience of my life!"
At the same location on November 18 and 19 from 9AM to 5PM,
an intensive Introduction to Transformational Breath work, which
includes exercises from Byron Katie's "All War Belongs on Paper"
and Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now", will be presented
by Peter Murray, from the book "Breathe Deep, Laugh Loudly
by Judith Kravitz. Cost for the intensive is $160 for Saturday and
$190 for Sunday.
