A legitimate adventure has no predetermined outcome. - Chatterton
A flawlessly working rebreather is almost as dangerous as a completely unreliable unit since reliability encourages complacency. - Howard Hall stating the Richard Pyle Paradox
Decompression algorithms are akin to measuring with a micrometer, marking with chalk and cutting with an ax. - Rick Murchison

Some of us caught wind of such products and there were two immediate rebuttals: 1) Such ingested O2 would be absorbed into the venous system which will pass through the lungs anyway before reaching the nourishing arterial circuit. 2) Arterial hemoglobin is already typically up around 98% saturated and so additional O2, bound to the existing quantity of hemoglobin, would be of small benefit.

I don't know anything about so-called "oxygen rich water", but if I did the math right, a liter of room temperature 1 ata water saturates with about a cubic inch of air. Gene's Rubicon paper found a max of about 5 cu. in (supersaturated?). That's what, a slightly deeper than usual breath?
The "Oxygen Therapy and Oral Oxygen Therapy" section where they attempt to justify the manufacture and use of such a product is laughable (and beyond).

I was given a gallon last year to try. Tasted a bit funny but I noticed zero difference. Used the remaining 1/2 gallon to water the plants. Don't think they noticed any increased energy either.
