Oxygen and Cancer

The first notion that chronic oxygen reduction in cells can lead to cancer was first proven by Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg in 1933. Like most bacteria, cancer thrives in a low oxygen environment. Every time Warburg deprived a healthy cell of oxygen by reducing its available oxygen by 35 percent, it became cancerous and its bacteria count increased. As a result of his research, he surmised that Vitamin E, being an antioxidant, would be a good preventative, or at the very least would help return oxygen to stricken cells.
