Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hello, The stratum corneum is there for a reason: to inhibit foreign substances from entering the body through the epidermis. Otherwise anything spilled on the skin would penetrate our bodies. (milk, wine...I leave it up to your imagination!) That is why medicines delivered topically must be designed specifically to penetrate this layer. I doubt seriously that by putting water and O2 on the skin, it will automatically reach the blood stream. Not to even speculate if this would be a beneficial thing to do. Mr. Mc Cabe ( " Mr. Oxygen " himself, that is) implies that spraying this on the skin will be useful. Too simplistic in my view. Still, the article by Dr Warburg from the Planck institute was extremely interesting. I think Dr Warburg would be furious (if he knew) to have his name and research associated in this way.
