"In a 2008 study scientists discovered a byproduct of cocaine in 22 of 24 samples of drinking water at a Spanish water-treatment plant- despite a rigorous filtering and treatment process."

"Scientists are also developing a clearer picture of how legal pharmaceuticals and personal-care products- from antibiotics and morphine to fragrances and sunscreen- are flooding our waterways...For example, previous research had revealed that up to 44.1 pounds (20 kilograms) of pharmaceuticals flow down Italy's Po River each day."

"Some of the drugs that mimic hormones, such as birth control, may also throw off an animal's endocrine, or hormone-regulating, system. Some male fish in the U.S., for example, have been growing female parts due to exposure to estrogen in the water."

"...The alarming fact is that food (fruits, vegetables and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land no longer contain enough certain minerals [and are therefore] starving us- no matter how much of them we eat... No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health because his stomach is not big enough to hold them..."

"As you age, you lose some of your capacity to utilize oxygen, approximately 1% per year. The older you get the more oxygen deficiency becomes an issue."

"Every breath you take converts to energy."

"All human cells, especially your brain/nervous system cells called neurons, need energy to do their job. All cells use blood sugar and oxygen to create Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the energy source that fuels cell function."

"If your cells need more energy, they use more oxygen. This is why your breathing rate increases when you exercise."

"If your cells do not receive enough oxygen, they produce less energy."

"Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to life threatening disease. The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has now been firmly established."
