"Polishes" the water?

#1950: Teri Mathis

Oxygen Orchard is a company that pushes The Big Pitcher, a device that ostensibly cures Chronic Oxygen Debt Syndrome (CODS). Apparently the product, which belongs to the genus “water woo”, “polishes” customers’ water to enable oxygen to be absorbed through the mouth. This is apparently a good thing, since “the GI tract does not absorb gases.” The result is ostensibly that blood cells are “hypercharged” with oxygen and the body’s pH level maintained at a healthy 7.4. No, the inventor, Teri Mathis, does not have more than, shall we say, cursory knowledge of basic anatomy. If you were ever in doubt, CODS is a fully and completely non-existing condition. But Oxygen Orchard’s claim that people are not breathing enough and therefore have a significant debt of oxygen in the blood, which again is the “primary cause of most major illnesses”, is a relatively common one within the discipline of oxygen therapy pseudoscience.
