HCG Diet & Rapid Weight Loss
I had heard of HCG before. My Aunt lost 25 pounds, o2 Wellness centers nutritonial cell analyst lost 20 pounds, and a good friend of mine lost 10 pounds on the HCG diet. So, I decided to give it a go, and in 10 days, I lost 13 pounds. I am THRILLED!
At first, the thought of only eating 500 calories a day scared me. I didn't think I could do it. However, while taking the drops, it's amazing how easy it is. Your cravings are diminished and you don't feel hungry.
I thought I would share an easy to understand explanation of what HCG is and how it works in case anyone out there is looking for an easy way to lose weight and keep it off.
What is HCG?
HCG is defined as Human Chronic Gonadotropin which is natural accruing protein hormone that develops in the placenta during the first trimester of pregnancy shortly after conception.
This protein hormone is recognized as a peptide. Peptides are a class of hormone that is secreted into the blood stream and aide in endocrine functions in living animals.
HCG – The Weight Loss Cure?
HCG is being called the weight loss cure because it essentially tells your body to feed off of your abnormal fatty areas instead off feeding off of the food you eat and/or your body’s muscle.
It is believed that when your body experiences a reduced calorie diet, HCG resets the hypothalamus by sending signals which tell your body to utilize body fat as a primary source of energy and to conserve and maintain lean body mass (muscle mass), resulting in rapid weight and inch loss (An average of 20-30 pounds per month).
It really works! Give us a call to start losing weight and feeling great today!

Scientic Explanation of EWOT - Oxygen used with Vibration Machine
When we first started using the term "EWOT" in our center, I had a hard time keeping a straight face. Say it out loud, "EWOT." Kind of brings a smile to your face, doesn't it? However, as I learned more and more about EWOT, or Exercise with Oxygen Therapy, I realized it is no laughing matter.
The benefits of exercise with oxygen therapy are scientifically proven, and are incredibly beneficial. As most of our o2 Vibers know, whole body vibration gives the same types of benefits as a 30-45 minute exercise session. Therefore, combining oxygen therapy with a vibration machine gives you the same benefits as a 30-45 minute traditional EWOT session, in just 10 minutes.
The scientific explanation of EWOT is very complex; however, we found a simple and effective explanation of how and why this works on www.greenvillehealth.com:
Exercise with Oxygen Therapy
Basically, the body’s ability to transfer oxygen from the lungs to the cells is perhaps the most significant factor in whether you live a healthy life or not. This transfer mechanism becomes damaged with age, and then susceptibility to illness increases. However, EWOT aids the body in repairing this vital mechanism.
The scientific aspect of EWOT is a little complex, but here is a basic explanation. Oxygen comprises 20% of the atmosphere. Atmospheric pressure is 760 mm and thus the partial pressure of oxygen entering the body’s lungs is about 150 mm. However, oxygen in the lungs is diluted considerably with carbon dioxide. As the environment becomes increasingly polluted, the oxygen we intake is more and more diluted by carbon dioxide leaving the body and in the atmosphere. After oxygen is diluted, its pressure is reduced to 100-110 mm. This pressure drives the oxygen from the lungs into the blood and via the arteries to the capillaries in the extremities of the body. The capillaries then release some of the oxygen to support individual cells.
Ideally, the pressure of the oxygen in the arteries will almost equal the pressure in the lungs. However, aging causes the arterial pressure to decrease to approximately 70 mm as opposed to 95 mm.
In order for the oxygen to reach the cells from the capillaries, it must dissolve into the water of the body. Unlike carbon dioxide, though, oxygen does not dissolve easily into liquid. The significance is this: Oxygen’s solubility is heavily dependent on the pressure driving it.
Dr. Rowen of Second Opinion explains Oxygen is extracted in the capillaries and when the blood comes out the venous end of he capillary, the average pressure of oxygen in the veins is about 40 mm early in life and drops to 35 mm by age 70. The difference in the pressure of oxygen between the arterial and venous sides reflects how well the oxygen is delivered and consumed.
In your 30s, the amount of oxygen released to the cells is significantly higher than in your 70s: a 30 year-old will release 55 mm (95-40) while a 70 year-old will release 35 mm (70-35). That’s a huge drop in the amount of pressure of oxygen your cells receive.
The problem is that when you age, the oxygen pressure falls. Thus, while the volume of oxygen may stay the same and it may appear you are getting enough, your may be oxygen deficient because there isn’t enough pressure to make use of the volume of oxygen.
The breakthrough of EWOT is that it raises the arterial pressure to youthful levels; it only involves breathing high levels of oxygen while exercising. Exercise increases the circulation, creating a greater pressure to drive oxygen into the capillaries. The increase in pressure facilitates the repair of the transfer mechanism. EWOT is effective for every conceivable condition because it improves the delivery of the most essential substance in tissue life and repair.

Sunshine, Tanning Beds, or Spray Tans?
Everyone knows that sun exposure, in moderation, is a good thing. Engaging in outdoor activities: gardening, surfing, walking, etc. helps you to remain physically active. Most people feel an immediate boost of energy and vibrancy after stepping outside. Being outdoors & in the sunshine also kicks off the metabolic and chemical reaction that produces Vitamin D.
However, like anything done in excess, the damaging effects of both tanning in the sunlight and/or tanning beds can have both cosmetic and physically damaging effects. I.E. Skin Cancer, early aging, wrinkles, etc. However, modern day America is willing to risk these damaging effects in pursuit of the perfect tan. A golden tan has almost become a fashion accessory "must have" in recent years. Fortunately, there are alternatives to baking in the sun and/or tanning beds: spray on tans.
Spray tans do not use harmful radiation waves to give the skin a golden glow, it uses Dihydroxyacetone or DHA, a chemical approved by the FDA in the 1970's which does not damage the skin, and is considered a safe skin coloring agent and nutritional supplement. It has no known toxicity and allergic reactions are very rare.
How does it work? DHA penetrates only the 1st layer of skin "dead skin cells" and reacts with amino acids to create a tan color on these cells. Certain brands, such as Fake Bake, also include Vitamin D in their ingredients to enhance the benefits of the spray.
If you would like to try a spray tan at home, we recommend Fake Bake. The owners of o2 Wellness use this product and it leaves your skin a smooth, streak free golden brown. To learn more, please contact us today: 949-240-6713.

Vibration Excersize - Is it a Scam?
Whether it be about the infrared sauna, the ionic foot detox, or vibration excersize with oxygen therapy (EWOT), San Clemente based o2 Wellness loves to hear feedback from our clients.
Recently, one of our regulars shared she had been researching on Google (we were thrilled to hear this as we love when our clients educate themselves on the benefits above and beyond what we tell them) and was excited to find nothing but positive feedback in regards to Whole Body Vibration and whether or not it was effective. We decided to do some of our own research and found an article on ww.hobby.vocably.com which we thought presented the information in a simple but effective way:
One of the newer products on the market is vibration exercise equipment. Claiming to help do everything from toning muscles to improving strength and bone density, some people are turning to this controversial equipment to reach their workout goals.
The theory behind vibration exercise equipment was actually generated for the Russian space program. With zero gravity, there is no resistance to work your muscles, and with prolonged stay in space can lead to muscle deterioration and even loss in bone density. To fight this, the Russians came up with vibration exercise.
The theory is simple. The person using the equipment merely gets onto a platform. They can stand, sit, lay down, or even focus the platform on certain body parts. This platform creates a vibration, which is sent through the body. In reflex the muscles contract. This causes tendons to stretch, and increases blood flow and improving blood oxygenation. This strengthens and tones them without effort on the person’s part. Since the vibrations get sent through the entire body, all the muscle groups are affected. Ultimately, the makers of the equipment claim that it will help increase range of motion, coordination, posture, bone density, and even decreases cortisol, the stress hormone. It is said to be relaxing, which lowers stress and can even eliminate tension related pain. They also claim that anyone can use the equipment – whether they are young or old, skinny or overweight, a seasoned athlete or beginning exerciser.
The efficacy of the equipment seems to be proven in the space program itself. With using the equipment, the Russian space team was able to spend a record of 420 days in space. In comparison, the Americans, who trained with traditional workout equipment, have only stayed 120 days because their bones and muscles started to give out.
Research now is turning to study the use of vibration exercise in medicine and rehabilitation programs. It is being used to help accident victims and coma patients regain use of their muscles with some success.
The makers of vibration equipment claim that the equipment stands up to the highest possible safety standards. The machine itself seems to be user-friendly – they take up little space and do not require much maintenance. They are reputed to be so easy to use that you do not even need to change your clothes. However, if your goal is to lose weight, you may wonder whether or not the equipment will work with you.
One thing to keep in mind is that astronauts, and the sports teams endorsing vibration exercise equipment, are already in a pretty healthy state. They watch what they are eating and are active. It is kind of hard to binge on potato chips and ice cream when you are thousands of miles away from the closest convenience store. To get the most out of any workout, including that with vibration equipment, to get the best results you will want to make lifestyle changes as well. This includes everything from eating a healthy diet to taking vitamins, to spending fewer hours in front of the TV. Before starting any new exercise program, you should always speak with your doctor. This is especially true if you have experienced illness or injury, or if you are elderly or severely overweight.
There are some specific instances where vibration technology should not be considered an option. These include, but are not limited to, pregnancy, advanced heart disease, if you have a pacemaker, if you have just had surgery, if you have hip or knee implants, severe diabetes, epilepsy, severe migraines, or recently placed IUD’s, pins, or plates. Once again, always check with your doctor before using this equipment

Breast Thermography: The Mammography Alternative?
Breast Thermography: The Mammography Alternative?
By Moshe Dekel, MD
If you ask ten women, or men, if they are familiar with Breast Thermography, nine would say no. This is a surprising fact, since medical thermography has been in use since the early 1970’s, and the modality was approved by the FDA in 1982 for breast cancer detection and risk assessment as an adjunct to mammography.
The reason why so few people know about Breast Thermography is because the medical establishment, the American Cancer Society and most women’s organizations are still very comfortable recommending mammography. The difference between the two modalities is profound. Mammography, like MRI and sonography, is an anatomical study; it looks at anatomical changes of the breast.
It may take up to ten years for the tumor to grow to a sufficient size to be detectable by either a mammogram or a physical examination. By that time, the tumor has achieved more than 25 doublings of the malignant cell colony and may have already metastasized.
Thermography is a physiological study. The infrared camera detects the heat (infrared radiation), which is emitted by the breast without physical contact with it (no compression) and without sending any signal (no radiation). This is a receiving mode only. It shows small, unilateral temperature increases, which are caused by an increased blood supply to cancer cells. Cancer cells have an ability to create new blood vessels to the effected area (neoangiogenesis) in order to satisfy the increased demand for nutrients resulting from the higher rate of growth and metabolic demands of the new colony. It was found that even a few thousand cancer cells (early stage of the disease) secrete Nitric Oxide, a powerful vasodilator, in order to achieve the same results (increase bloodflow).
Physiological changes can precede anatomical mammographic detection by seven to ten years, therefore allowing us to react early in a preventative mode that may stop the development of overt cancer. The study is interpreted with the help of computer analysis of the 75,000 temperature pixels displayed in each of the 18 digital images that are taken in every study. The study can be interpreted as normal, low, moderate or higher risk.
A holistic protocol is then implemented in order to prevent the formation of overt cancer. One of the major limitations of mammography is its inability to diagnose cancer in the case of dense breast tissue. I am sure that some readers will identify with the inconclusive reading of their mammography and their “invitation” to take another one in six months. The patient may or may not know that the density of the breast will not change in that period of time.
For more than three decades, the medical establishment, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the media have promoted mammography as the main screening procedure for breast cancer. The current recommendation is to have a base line mammogram at the age of forty and for women with family history of breast cancer to start as early as age thirty.
In September 2000, a large, long-term Canadian study found that an annual mammogram was no more effective in preventing deaths from breast cancer that periodic physical examinations for women in their 50’s. Half of the almost 40,000 women ages 50 to 59 received periodic breast examinations alone and half received breast examinations plus mammograms. All learned to examine their own breasts as well. By 1993, 13 years after the study began; there were 610 cases of invasive breast cancer and 105 deaths in the women who received only breast examinations, compared with 622 invasive breast cancers and 107 deaths in those who received breast examinations and mammograms.
Alternative Medicine has maintained for years that mammograms do far more harm than good. Their ionizing radiation mutates cells, and the mechanical pressure on the breast can spread cells that are already malignant (as can biopsies). In 1995, the British medical journal, The Lancet, reported that since mammographic screening was introduced in the 1970’s, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which represents 12% of all breast cancer cases, had increased by 328% and that 200% of this increase was due to the use of mammography.
Since the inception of widespread mammographic screening, the increase for DCIS in women under the age of 40 has risen over 3000%. Eighty percent of the 1.4 million breast biopsies performed each year in the US, because of a suspicious mammography, are negative. Why, then, does mainstream medicine keep recommending mammograms? A $100 mammogram for all 62 million U.S. women over 40, and a $1,000+ biopsy for 1- to 2-million women, is an $8 billion per year industry.
Mammography cannot detect a tumor until after it has been growing for years and reaches a certain size. Thermography can detect increased risk of breast cancer much earlier, because it can image the early stages of increased blood supply to cancer cells, which is a necessary step before they can grow into a detectable size tumor. Another reason for increased thermographic temperature is the rapid cell division, which is apart of cancer growth.
Breast Thermography is not promoted here as a replacement for mammography, but rather to inform women about their options regarding the prevention of breast cancer.

EWOT - Excersize with Oxygen Therapy
EWOT - Exercise With Oxygen Therapy. Oxygen is king during exercise!
EWOT is Powerful
Exercise while you breathe higher concentrations of oxygen. Right now, you are breathing approx. 21% O2. During exercise, breathing higher oxygen levels provides an immediate increase in strength, endurance, and energy. Burn more calories in the same 15, 20 or 30 minute workout!
EWOT is Well-Being
In addition to this surge of power during exercise, EWOT increases blood plasma oxygen levels. Increasing your oxygen levels can offer amazing cancer and illness prevention. Most dis-eases thrive in low oxygen environments. The healthful benefits of EWOT include higher oxygen levels to all parts of the body. Keep the body highly oxygenated and reduce the risk of many dis-eases.
EWOT is Anti-Aging
Aging involves loosing the ability to carry oxygen to all tissues of the body. EWOT provides anti-aging benefits through increasing oxygen carrying capacity.
EWOT is for Everyone
EWOT does not require a prescription. No oxygen tanks to pay for each moth. All you need is an oxygen generator which takes room air and removes the nitrogen, providing up to 95% pure oxygen. Simply wear the one of-a-kind open delivery OxySport Headset to oxygen enrich the air you breath during exercise. Healthful benefits of EWOT can be attained with just three simple aerobic workouts per week.
Exercise With Oxygen Therapy
» Increase energy and strength during exercise
» Burn up to 30% more calories & burn more fat!
» Increase your oxygen levels to that of a healthy teenager
» Improve well-being and reduce risk of disease
» Train at peak strength levels for accelerated conditioning

EWOT is Powerful
Exercise while you breathe higher concentrations of oxygen. Right now, you are breathing approx. 21% O2. During exercise, breathing higher oxygen levels provides an immediate increase in strength, endurance, and energy. Burn more calories in the same 15, 20 or 30 minute workout!
EWOT is Well-Being
In addition to this surge of power during exercise, EWOT increases blood plasma oxygen levels. Increasing your oxygen levels can offer amazing cancer and illness prevention. Most dis-eases thrive in low oxygen environments. The healthful benefits of EWOT include higher oxygen levels to all parts of the body. Keep the body highly oxygenated and reduce the risk of many dis-eases.
EWOT is Anti-Aging
Aging involves loosing the ability to carry oxygen to all tissues of the body. EWOT provides anti-aging benefits through increasing oxygen carrying capacity.
EWOT is for Everyone
EWOT does not require a prescription. No oxygen tanks to pay for each moth. All you need is an oxygen generator which takes room air and removes the nitrogen, providing up to 95% pure oxygen. Simply wear the one of-a-kind open delivery OxySport Headset to oxygen enrich the air you breath during exercise. Healthful benefits of EWOT can be attained with just three simple aerobic workouts per week.
Exercise With Oxygen Therapy
» Increase energy and strength during exercise
» Burn up to 30% more calories & burn more fat!
» Increase your oxygen levels to that of a healthy teenager
» Improve well-being and reduce risk of disease
» Train at peak strength levels for accelerated conditioning

Dr. Oz raves about Far Infrared Sauna
Dr. Oz says his in-laws introduced him to the infrared sauna, which is slightly different than a normal sauna. "It makes the same rays that come from the sun and filters out the UV radiation, so it only gives you the infrared radiation," he says. "That radiation that's infrared goes a little bit into your skin so, without heating you up and the external environment too much, it heats the body up."
After a few minutes in the sauna, Oprah says she's starting to feel the heat. Dr. Oz says the high temperature helps lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. "It gets your heart to beat faster, and it burns calories," Dr. Oz says. "It raises your metabolism a little bit, and also when you sweat, you sweat out toxins through the skin."

Vibration Therapy May Help Treat Osteoporosis
Dec 29, 2005 5:59 pm US/Central Vibration Therapy May Help Treat Osteoporosis
by Mary Ann Childers
It's a new fitness craze that celebrities such as Madonna have tried. But as Medical Editor Mary Ann Childers reports, researchers think it could have special benefit in treating problems such as weak bones or osteoporosis.
Like most 19-year-olds, Mariella Landaverde never worried much about osteoporosis.
"Did not, didn't cross my mind," she said.
But when she took part in a study at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, she found out her bones were not as strong as they should be.
"It surprised me because I didn't know that my calcium intake and anything that can help my bones was very important," she said.
Poor bone mass now puts her at risk for fractures later. The question researchers asked was if she can prevent problems with vibration therapy.
"What this small amount of vibration does is it stimulates the muscle to enhance the bone," said Vincente Gilsanz, M.D.
Study participants stood on a machine for 10 minutes everyday for a year. The tiny vibrations, invisible to the naked eye, shook up surprising results.
"The young women who were treated like that had considerable more bone and that's... what's also surprising, considerable more muscle," Gilsanz said.
The women increased bone in their hips and spine by three percent and adjacent muscle mass by four percent just by standing still
"It feels like a bunch of tickling sensations under your foot," Mariella said.
They're good vibrations that could mean good bone health.
More research is needed on this. It has not yet been determined how much vibration is the safest and most effective for treating weaker bones.
Researchers say beware of some commercial machines that offer to enhance athletic training. They may vibrate too fast and eventually damage bone, muscle and cartilage.

How TWBV Effects Muscular Performance and Balance
Therapeutic Whole Body Vibration has been proven to improve muscle performance of lower extremities and body balance in young healthy adults. You may read the summary of the trial below, or visit http://vibrahs.com/download/medical/exposure.pdf for the full trial details.
Summary
This randomized cross-over study was designed to investigate the effects of a 4-min vibration bout on muscle performance and body balance in young, healthy subjects. Sixteen volunteers (eight men, eight women, age 24±33 years) underwent both the 4-min vibration- and sham-interventions in a randomized order on different days. Six performance tests (stability platform, grip strength, isometric extension strength of lower extremities, tandem-walk, vertical jump and shuttle run) were performed 10 min before (baseline), and 2 and 60 min after the intervention. The effect of vibration on the surface electromyography (EMG) of soleus, gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis muscles was also investigated. The vibration-loading, based on a tilting platform, induced a transient (significant at the 2-min test) 25% net benefit in the jump height (P.0019), 32% benefit in the isometric extension strength of lower extremities (P.0020) and 157% improvement in the body balance (P.0049). In the other 2-min or in the 60-min tests, there were no statistically significant differences between the vibration- and sham-interventions. Decreased mean power frequency in EMG of all muscles during the vibration indicated evolving muscle fatigue, while the root mean square voltage of EMG signal increased in calf muscles. We have shown in this study that a single bout of whole body vibration transiently improves muscle performance of lower extremities and body balance in young healthy adults.

Summary
Vibration exercise (VE) is a new neuromuscular training method which is applied in athletes as well as in prevention and therapy of osteoporosis. The present study explored the physiological mechanisms of fatigue by VE in 37 young healthy subjects. Exercise and cardiovascular data were compared to progressive bicycle ergometry until exhaustion. VE was performed in two sessions, with a 26 Hz vibration on a ground plate, in combination with squatting plus additional load (40% of body weight). After VE, subjectively perceived exertion on Borg's scale was 18, and thus as high as after bicycle ergometry. Heart rate after VE increased to 128 min±1, blood pressure to 132/52 mmHg, and lactate to 35 mM. Oxygen uptake in VE was 488% of VO2max in bicycle ergometry. After VE, voluntary force in knee extension was reduced by 92%, jump height by 91%, and the decrease of EMG median frequency during maximal voluntary contraction was attenuated. The reproducibility in the two VE sessions was quite good: for heart rate, oxygen uptake and reduction in jump height, correlation coefcients of values from session 1 and from session 2 were between 067 and 07. Thus, VE can be well controlled in terms of these parameters. Surprisingly, an itching erythema was found in about half of the individuals, and an increase in cutaneous blood flow. It follows that
exhaustive whole-bodyVE elicits a mild cardiovascular exertion, and that neural as well as muscular mechanisms of fatigue may play a role. Keywords: energy turnover, exercise physiology, osteoporosis, sports, training.
