Living in a Geodesic Dome for Better Health with Morgan Bierschenk

The Healing Properties of Carbon Dioxide with Steve Scott

Carbon dioxide, CO2, is often referred to as a waste product of cellular metabolism, as well as an environmental problem as it relates to shifting the temperature of the earth with a greenhouse effect. Oxygen therapy is, by far, the most promoted health therapy out there that utilizes gasses. Second place would go to ozone gas, and third would go to energized noble gasses like in the Paul Harris TheraPhi device. CO2 therapy for human health is way down the list and you would be hard pressed to f...

The Science of Imprinting Water with Anton Fedorenko

There was a ton of gadgets that you can use to influence your drinking water, ideally after its gone through a proper filtration system. Infopathy is in its own category.
