A cold or flu injures the res­pi­ra­to­ry system.

This guide cre­ates a new focus for recov­ery from res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tions.  The sim­ple goal is to help the body main­tain cel­lu­lar res­pi­ra­tion with oxy­gen dur­ing recov­ery reduc­ing the dura­tion and dis­com­fort of vir­tu­al­ly any res­pi­ra­to­ry infection.

Reduced oxy­gen dur­ing res­pi­ra­to­ry injury inhibits immu­ni­ty and decreas­es ener­gy pro­duc­tion.  Reduced immu­ni­ty makes it dif­fi­cult for the body to over­come infec­tion caus­ing res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tions, such as the flu, to become long last­ing and even dangerous.

Influen­za and colds injure the res­pi­ra­to­ry system. 

This guide explains how to main­tain oxy­gen lev­els in your body dur­ing recov­ery to reduce symp­toms and accel­er­ate recovery.

The mod­el uses extra oxy­gen and phys­i­cal chal­lenge to increase oxy­gen lev­els in the body.  Most users expe­ri­ence near-nor­mal ener­gy, good immune per­for­mance, and min­i­mal dis­com­fort.  The only real chal­lenge is over­com­ing the nat­ur­al instinct to lay in bed, instead of using LiveO2 when you are sick.

This method describes three tech­niques help­ful dur­ing dif­fer­ent phas­es of the ill­ness cycle:

• Incu­ba­tion sup­port when expo­sure is suspected
• Acute sup­port — when exer­tion is not pos­si­ble due to illness
• Recov­ery sup­port — to opti­mize ener­gy and immu­ni­ty dur­ing recovery

These tech­niques are designed to over­come obsta­cles to oxy­gen absorp­tion which occur as a result of res­pi­ra­to­ry infection:

1. Mucus in the lungs blocks oxy­gen absorption.
2. Loss of lung cells reduce oxy­gen absorption.

This loss of oxy­gena­tion inhibits the immune sys­tem and makes it hard­er for the body to over­come the infec­tion.  This effect explains why res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tions last a long time and tend to be dan­ger­ous for those weak­ened by age or oth­er factors.
