Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I don't want to beat this to death, but I've been thinking about all this and it has not been making sense to me and I didn't know why until last night when a thought popped into my head. Yes, that was painful, but here is what I was thinking. I know I'm not the brightest bulb on this group and I may not know the exact workings of the cow's many stomachs and digestive system, but thinking about oxygenating the system, I came up with this: The only way to truly oxygenate the human system is through the lungs, which oxygenates the blood that goes through the heart to the rest of the system. In that respect, I can see why the one doctor was using it IV. And, considering the very large milk veins that go to the udder, I could see that working. However, by drinking it, all that is happening is that it is going through the digestive system and not getting into the blood supply. Although its true that we feed our entire system by ingesting various things, but, by eating or drinking something, we metabolize it through the liver. Yes, we are making ourselves healthier or not as healthy by what we eat/drink, and that in turn nourishes the blood, but I just don't understand how that will oxygenate the udder. Even tho what a cow eats helps the production of milk, its the protein, energy, vitamins, etc. that do that, right? I would think they are getting more oxygen through their lungs then by drinking a tiny amount of peroxide in the water. So, I just don't see it working in the way you have described considering the udder is fed by big blood vessels. Unless it is in some way building the white blood cells that fight infections. I could be wrong. Been there, done that. K.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
