You Are Sixty-Five Percent Oxygen

Table of Contents

By Dr. Chris Cormier, DC — EBOO Prime

Weigh yourself. Roughly two-thirds of that number is oxygen.

Oxygen makes up about 65% of the mass of the human body — the most abundant element in you by a very wide margin. Carbon is 18%. Hydrogen is 10%. Nitrogen is 3%. Everything else you have ever heard discussed is competing for what is left.

That single fact is the reason this brand exists, and it is the most useful thing I know for deciding what to work on first.

An argument about order, not about anything else

I want to be clear about what this is and is not.

It is not an argument against anything. Plenty of things measured in milligrams matter a great deal, and some of them matter enormously in the right situation. This is an argument about sequence.

Sort the thing that is 65% of you before you spend much attention on the things that are 0.001%.

Most people do this in exactly the reverse order, and not because they are foolish. They do it because the small things come with labels, packaging and a clear instruction, and oxygen comes with nothing at all. Nobody sells you a bottle of breathing properly. There is no shelf for it, so it never makes the list.

Why the most abundant thing is also the least forgiving

Here is what makes oxygen different from the other things on the list.

You can go a surprisingly long time without most of what your body needs. Days without food. A day or more without water, uncomfortably. Minutes without oxygen.

That is not a dramatic framing, it is just the plain arithmetic of the thing — and it tells you something useful about priority that no supplement label ever will. The ingredient with the least margin deserves the most attention, and it tends to get the least.

It is also why we put it first in a sequence. Oxygen, then water, then light, and only then the things that come in bottles. The full version of that framework is on The Nerve Health Institute.

Two questions, not one

Here is the part that I think gets missed everywhere, and it is the half this brand is actually built around.

Oxygen in your lungs is not oxygen in your cells. Between breathing it in and a cell using it, a lot has to go right — it crosses into the blood, it gets carried, it reaches the small vessels, it is delivered into tissue.

  • Are you taking enough in? Most people breathe less well and less deeply than they assume, and many have drifted into shallow, high-chest breathing without ever noticing.
  • Is it arriving? That is circulation and delivery — and it is the half that gets almost no attention at all.

Blood is the vehicle for both. The National Library of Medicine puts it plainly: blood “transports oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and returns waste and carbon dioxide,” and it “distributes nearly everything that is carried from one area in the body to another.”

We went into the delivery side in circulation and pelvic floor health, and the demand side — why the brain in particular is so expensive to run — in why the brain needs oxygen.

Four free things, today

All of these act directly on the most abundant element in your body, and none of them cost anything.

  • Breathe on purpose. Two or three minutes, a few times a day. Slow in, slower out, with the exhale the longer part.
  • Move. A daily walk does more for circulation than most things that cost money.
  • Get outside. Fresh air and daylight together, early in the day.
  • Ventilate where you sleep. Eight hours is the largest unexamined block of breathing in anyone’s life — we went through that properly in oxygen and sleep.

The structured at-home version of all of it lives on BodyCharger, which is where I send anyone who wants a routine rather than a list.

Where a therapy like ours fits

Given everything above, the fair question is what a therapy focused on blood oxygenation has to do with any of it. We would rather answer that precisely than let anyone fill in the blank themselves.

The honest version

Extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation is a supportive wellness therapy focused on circulation and oxygenation. It belongs in a wider picture alongside training, nutrition, hydration, light and sleep — not instead of them, and not ahead of them. The process is described in full on what is EBOO and how it works, and what an actual session is like is on what to expect from an EBOO session.

What it is not

It is not a treatment for any diagnosed condition, and it is not a substitute for care you are receiving elsewhere. Nothing on this page should be read as suggesting otherwise, and if you have symptoms that have not been assessed, see a physician first.

And the order still applies

This is the part I would want anyone considering it to hear. If you are not yet breathing properly, moving daily or sleeping in a ventilated room, those come first — they are free, they act on the same ingredient, and they are where most of the available ground genuinely is.

A clinic that tells you the free things come first is a clinic you can believe about the paid ones. Our FAQ page takes the same line on everything else people ask us.

Where nerves come into it

One last connection, because it is the thing that ties this brand to the clinic it sits inside.

Supply is one question and signal is another. Oxygen arriving at a tissue is necessary, and so is that tissue being properly connected to the brain. Where the signal side is the live question, that is clinical work — the nerve assessment explained in what is Quantum Neurology.

Frequently asked questions

 

Why is oxygen important for the body?

Because it is the most abundant element in you — about 65% of your body mass — and because it has the least margin of anything you need. You can go days without food and a day without water. Minutes without oxygen. That combination of scale and urgency is why it belongs first in any sequence.

What percentage of the human body is oxygen?

Around 65% by mass, making it the most abundant element in the body. Carbon is about 18%, hydrogen about 10%, and nitrogen about 3%.

Does breathing better actually make a difference?

Breathing well is your access to the most abundant ingredient in your body, and most people do it less well than they assume. It costs nothing and it is the right place to start. Delivery matters just as much, which is why movement and circulation belong in the same conversation.

Is oxygen more important than supplements?

It is not a competition — it is a sequence. Things measured in milligrams can matter a great deal, and they work better on a body that has the foundational ingredients in place. Start with the 65%, then work down.

What is EBOO therapy and what is it for?

A supportive wellness therapy focused on circulation and oxygenation. It sits within a wider picture alongside training, nutrition, hydration, light and sleep. It is not a treatment for any diagnosed condition or a substitute for care you are receiving elsewhere.

Where should I start if I want to take oxygen seriously?

Deliberate breathing, a daily walk, time outdoors, and ventilating the room you sleep in. All free, all available today, and all acting on the same ingredient.
