'Haldi' may hold the cure for cancer from HT

Pure oxygen, is a pure killer from HT

""Pure oxygen can reduce blood flow to organs and tissues by increasing ventilation," Dr Iscoe explains. "The increase in ventilation, which is almost never considered, 'blows off' carbon dioxide, and this fall constricts blood vessels.
