“Chlorine dioxide” is a substance that provides oxygen to tissues and all body fluids, activating the mitochondria of cells, which in turn generate more energy that allows the body to recover.
A *minor* point I would make is that cellular energy is not because of "combustion", but it's rather due to oxidation (which is the amazing effect of chlorine dioxide)
Thanks for addition to the conversation so we can learn more together.
My current thought you are correct and I could have written more for maybe a deeper understanding that I am actually seeking.
What are your thoughts on what is required for combustion:
Combustion is a chemical reaction that requires three essential components: fuel, oxygen, and heat. This trio is often referred to as the "fire triangle." Fuel can be any combustible material, such as wood, gasoline, or natural gas, while oxygen, typically sourced from the air, acts as the oxidizer. Heat is necessary to initiate the reaction, allowing the fuel to reach its ignition temperature.In a combustion reaction, the fuel reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light, along with byproducts like carbon dioxide and water vapor. While oxygen is the most common oxidizer, other substances can also support combustion under specific conditions. However, for most practical applications, oxygen remains the preferred choice due to its abundance in the atmosphere.Understanding these components is crucial for controlling combustion processes, whether in engines, heating systems, or even wildfires. Proper management of the fire triangle can enhance efficiency and safety in various applications.
Human cells, much like combustion engines, derive energy from oxidizing nutrients, primarily carbohydrates. This process involves breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen, resulting in the release of energy stored in chemical bonds. The efficiency of this energy conversion in human cells ranges from 18% to 26%, which is relatively low compared to mechanical engines. However, this efficiency is crucial for sustaining life and maintaining cellular functions.Cells utilize this energy to create order and perform essential tasks, such as growth, repair, and reproduction. The intricate mechanisms of energy production involve various biochemical pathways, including glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, which ultimately lead to the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell.Recent advancements in bioengineering have explored harnessing the body's own sugar to generate electricity.
