This unique work from acclaimed author Dr. Paul Marino (Marino’s
The ICU Book, The Little ICU Book) challenges the traditional
notion that the human body thrives on oxygen, and that promoting
tissue oxygenation is necessary for promoting life. This concept
fails to recognize that oxygen is a destructive molecule that also
damages the human body. Instead of welcoming oxygen, the
human body limits exposure of the tissues to oxygen, and employs an
army of chemical antioxidants to combat the damaging effects of
oxygen. This “oxygen protective” human design represents
a new paradigm for the relationship between oxygen and human
survival, and it has important implications for the excessive and
unregulated use of oxygen in clinical practice. Dr. Marino’s book
includes the following relevant features: Describes how
oxygen and its reactive derivatives can damage vital cell
components, and how oxygen plays a pivotal role in the damaging
effects of inflammation, radiation, and aging. Challenges the
traditional notion that oxygen delivery is the principal function
of the cardiorespiratory system, and that oxygen transport is the
principal function of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Demonstrates
how the tissues normally operate in an oxygen-poor environment
(which limits the risk of oxidative damage), and how the body
counteracts attempts to increase tissue oxygenation. Describes the
body’s use of protective antioxidants, and shows how failure to
maintain this antioxidant protection makes oxygen inhalation an
unrecognized source of harm. Reveals the lack of evidence that
cellular hypoxia is a final common pathway for cell death, and
proposes that oxygen itself is responsible for the death of aerobic
organisms. Proposes a new management strategy that is
“oxygen-protective” rather than “oxygen-promoting.” Enrich
