The material below is from a course in which one part deals with the free radical. The source of this material is here on a site at:
The current preoccupation with cardiovascular (or aerobic) conditioning in
promoting health and fitness may be complicated by the implications of
current research into the dangers of free radicals.
The potentially valuable role played by cardiovascular ('aerobic')
exercise
in preventing or treating heart disease or offering anti-ageing benefits
is
well known to anyone who reads the scientific or popular literature.
Aerobics classes and distance/endurance activities are promoted by the
medical profession and a hugely successful fitness market as a panacea for
virtually all ills.
The listed benefits of aerobic exercise include improvements in VO2 max,
cardiac function, general circulation, reduced levels of 'harmful'
cholesterol, resting metabolic rate (and its effect on bodyfat loss), muscle
function, mood state and several other factors.
The importance of relying heavily on aerobic metabolism instead of anaerobic
activity is stressed frequently, because the latter is not believed to
offer
comparable general physiological benefits. 'Anaerobic' training seems to
be
acceptable for muscle building, a modicum of local muscle endurance, power
production, speed training and connective tissue, but not really for overall
cardiac or circulatory health (even though more research is questioning these
older dogma).
Recently other research is pointing out the probable serious dangers posed by
free radicals, a type of voracious biochemical structure that is produced
prolifically during aerobic metabolism. These powerful oxidising elements
are reputed to migrate throughout the body and act as triggers or modifying
agents which cause ageing of tissue, some types of cancer and other
miscellaneous diseases. We are advised to consume sufficient quantities of
anti-oxidants in our food in order to combat the harmful side-effects posed
by these apparently vicious by-products of aerobic metabolism. Thus, the
health food market is now flooded with reputed anti-oxidants such as
beta-carotene, selenium, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and various oils.
Does the proliferation of these apparently harmful oxidants or free radicals
in our bloodstream by aerobic processes not then seem to suggest another
solution to the problem, namely, a major reduction in the amount of
aerobic
exercise currently being advocated by almost everyone in the health business?
In other words, less aerobic training, fewer free radicals and less
damaging
oxidation to age and disease our bodies!
Would a stronger move to anaerobic exercise, such as heavier weight training,
sprinting and intensive intervals then not be the appropriate advice in the
light of this current research into free radicals and tissue change?
Remember, of course, that many of our maintenance daily activities such as
sitting, sleeping and other sedentary tasks depend primarily on aerobic
metabolism. Some regeneration of partially depleted ATP and CP stores also
takes place under aerobic conditions, so it is impossible to live under
entirely anaerobic conditions.
Explain this apparent paradox on the basis of relevant research references
and any other information which you consider to be relevant to resolve the
issue.

If you missed it, you can go to either a SHORT explanation of the whole story, or a detailed explanation on ONE PAGE. On this page you are getting more detail on one part of the story, but on either of those pages you can get the broad picture. Don't miss reading one of them. You can actually spend many hours on this web site, depending on the depth of research and reading you want to do. There are an amazing 4,000 pages here -- more information on these general subjects than almost all other web sites combined! At some point along the way you will probably say, "Karl's crazy," and leave never to return to this site, or you will say "I want to try some of that oral chelation formula he writes about!"

SUBSCRIBE: The Wednesday Letter is a free electronic monthly newsletter written and published by Karl Loren. You can view more than 50 back issues of this publication by clicking here. The Wednesday Letter subscription list is maintained on a secure server, no name is ever given or sold to anyone, and it is never used except for this Newsletter.

REMOVAL: You can remove yourself from the subscription list in several different ways. Click here to read about this entire newsletter system. Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed. Thus, no one else can unsubscribe you, from some other computer, without your knowledge. But, if you send in the unsubscribe notice from the same machine used to receive the Letter, then the removal from the subscription list is automatic.
