Oxygen & Nature

The Oxygen in the air around us, with its share of approximately 21%, occurs in nature predominantly in an inert triplet ground state (3O2). Inert oxygen cannot be used by the body and must be activated by the body itself in order to be able to be carried into the blood by means of the lungs and to be transferred from there to the individual cells.

The reactive form of the oxygen is identified in physics as singlet oxygen (1O2). In this O2 molecule, the position of the electrons in relationship to one another is changed. From two unpaired electrons with parallel spin come paired electrons with anti-parallel spin.

Singlet oxygen has been present for millions of years in nature as an escharotic form and is constantly formed by the body itself in order to facilitate metabolism and signal transmission. The constant activation of oxygen, so that it can be transported and burnt consumes energy. In the course of our life, the ability of our cells to produce sufficient energy (ATP-adenosine triphosphate) declines due to illness and stress.

The unclean combustion with ever-diminishing ATP production and increased oxygen radical production leads to further damaging of the cell structures and accelerated aging of cells. If sufficient energy is no longer being produced, less oxygen can thus be activated, which, in turn, results in even less ATP. Energy in the form of the energy storage molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced within the cells in the miniature power stations, the mitochondria

What is relaxation energy?

It is the released energy (photons = light) when singlet oxygen returns to its ground state (triplet oxygen).
