Chinstrap cures cancer? (LONG)

Posted by B Hansen in Boise on June 12, 2002 at 07:58:13:

Received an ad for "SleepAngel", a 'super-duper' chin strap. On the home page, there is a pretty good rundown of sleep apnea and it's effects. However, about midway down, the ad almost turns to snake oil. Only in the testimonials is CPAP even mentioned. Pasted the chinstrap/cancer link here:

"It is also important to remember that when the immune system is compromised by a lack of oxygen, we are more susceptible to opportunistic bacteria, viral, and parasitic infections and colds, as well as flu. Oxygen deprivation can also lead to life-threatening disease, such as cancer. Cancer and most other infections or disease cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment.

“Cancer has only one prime cause. It is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of the body’s cells by an anaerobic (i.e., oxygen deficient) cell respiration.” Dr. Otto Warburg, The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer, The Lindau Lecture, Germany, Wurzburg, Germany: K. Trilsch. 1966, English, translation by D. Burke, 1969.

“All chronic pain, suffering and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level.”

Arthur C. Guyton, The Textbook of Medical Physiology, Fifth Edition, W. B. Saunders Co., PA, 1976.

“Virtually all heart attacks come down to a failure to deliver oxygen to the hardworking heart muscle.”

Philip Stavish, M.D., “Oxygen Deficit Linked to Heart Problems,” Journal of Longevity, Vol. 4/No. 5, 1998."
