Question For Eric Fattah

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I was typing a long reply to this thread when I suddenly lost the message. Here is the short retyped version.

The author of the article makes incredible mistakes:

'Oxidation of the blood', which the author refers to repeatedly, is in fact a fatal process where the Fe2+ in the hemoglobin is converted into Fe3+ (methemoglobin). I hope no one ever experiences it, and it will never occur under normal conditions. I think the author means 'oxygenation of the blood' but if he can't get something so simple correct, it makes you wonder. Oxidation and oxygenation are unrelated.

The author states that low levels of O2 produces carbon monoxide. False.

The author does mention blood electrification, which is regaining popularity and has shown the ability to kill many diseases. How this relates to the fatal process of oxidation of the blood is unclear.

Yes, it seemed pretty eccentric to me, too, but I thought I'd best solicit a second opinion. Sometimes there is also a pony.
