Distributors have seen this fad unfold and are now ready to cash in on bringing this delightfully melancholy experience to us all. Their goal is to bring the power of canned oxygen to local grocery stores and convenience marts everywhere. For a few bucks, you can carry around your own personal cache of clean air. You may be wondering, Why would I pay money for a small can of oxygen? Research has been conducted “claiming” that pure oxygen has several endearing qualities, the most beneficial being its energy giving properties. It is believed that a brief blast of pure oxygen allows you flush some of the impurities from your body, clear your mind, and eliminate some of that sluggish feeling that many of us have. Manufacturers are betting that a sluggish feeling public will line up for such a product. Some doctors call it a sham. Pure oxygen, they say, does nothing to cleanse your body. And it can be harmful - particularly for people with severe lung diseases like emphysema.
