Think Oxygen,
Think Fermentation
Majid Ali, M.D.
Our
Fermenting Planet
In our toxic preoccupation with
daily intramural murders, we are missing the central
story of our time: an epic planetary struggle
between the oxygen-loving ("oxyphils") and
oxygen-shunning species ("oxyphobes") and the
incremental victories of the latter. A monumental
tragedy of mass extinction of species is playing out
on the global stage. Oxygen-loving frogs and related
amphibian species are being decimated by
oxygen-shunning fungi. The oxygen-shunners are also
responsible for the plight of butterflies, bees, and
bats—for disappearing butterflies, collapsing bee
colonies, and bat that fly out of their caves in
daylight and drop dead. Their fungus-ridden noses
foretell things about the shape of the future.
For hundreds of thousands of
years, the planet Earth was in equilibrium in terms
of its acid-alkali balance, oxidant-antioxidant
regulation, and atmospheric gas homeostasis. Now it
is fermenting because it is:
k
Chemicalizing;
k
Acidifying;
k
Oxidizing;
k
Carbonizing; and
k
Deforesting ("De-lunging)"
Humans are also fully engaged in
this struggle, and losing with spreading epidemics
of mystery maladies—chronic fatigue, brain fog,
fibromyalgia, polycystic ovary syndrome, gender
devolution, memory deficits, and rising incidences
of cancer. Regrettably, the main body of physicians,
under the influence of The New England Journal of
Medicine, is totally oblivious to the
man-microbe conflicts that are at the root of these
disorders.
The observable elements of
climatic chaos—as well as those that will almost
certainly occur—are further shifting the equilibrium
in the favor of oxyphobes and against oxyphils.
Among the most vulnerable on the planet are its
children.
In 1994, 94 pounds of synthetic
chemical were produced for every child, man, and
woman worldwide in the United States. The planetary
acidification and oxidation is being caused by
incremental chemicalization and carbon dioxide
accumulation. Forests, shrubs, and gases are the
Earth's lungs—exchanging carbon dioxide for
oxygen—and spreading deforestation is literally
planetary de-lunging.
Fermentation to
Inflammation

All patterns of tissue injury
begin with inflammation.
k
All forms of inflammation
begin with fermentation.
k
All fermentation in human
cells results from dysfunctional oxygen signalling.
Oxygen’s
Three-legged Throne
The Oxygen Model of Disease is a
unifying model of enormous explanatory power—for
understanding the basic nature of the disease
processes, as well as for designing testable,
rational, and scientifically sound integrative plans
for restoring health. Specifically, I point here
that the common denominator in the cause of all
non-developmental disorders is cellular dysox
(dysfunctional oxygen homeostasis). Every pain is
some cells’ cries for oxygen. Cellular dysox is the
primary cause of all disease-causing
inflammation, which sets the stage for the
beginnings of all forms of bowel disorders, liver
injury, asthma, allergy, colitis, heart disease,
stroke, kidney failure, cancer, and degenerative
disorders.

I refer physicians and other
readers with special interest in deeper
understanding of diverse issues in the treatment of
Crohn’s colitis, as well as the pertinnet citations
to Darwin and Dysox Trilogy (2009), the
tenth, eleventh, and twelfth volumes of my textbook
entitled The Principles and Practice of
Integrative Medicine.
For citations and detailed
information on the biology of oxygen, I refer
professional readers to Darwin, Oxygen
Homeostasis, and Oxystatic Therapies (2009), the
tenth, volume of my textbook entitled The
Principles and Practice of Integrative Medicine.

PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN BIOLOGYAND GOVERNS THE AGING
PROCESS
Dysox (dysoxygenosis) is a state
of disrupted oxygen signaling. Specifically, it
includes: (1) oxygen-driven cellular energetics; (2)
oxygen-driven detox pathways; (3) oxygen signaling
for cellular development, differentiatiomn, and
demise; and (4) oxygen detergent functions.

Dumbing Down Science
The inclusion of oxygen in the
title of this article on Crohn’s disease may seem
odd to some readers. Doctors do not look at this
disease—nor at any other disease, for that
matter—through the prism of oxygen homeostasis. So,
it is not surprising that people in general do not
think of oxygen when they think of Crohn’s disease.
Doctors can disregard oxygen only at the cost of
dumbing down science of their profession. I assert
that the last thing we can afford to dumb down in
healing arts is the science of medicine.

book entitled Darwin's Drones, Oxygen, and
Diabetes: to make my larger point:
