, at step s 236 , super - oxygenated , tuned , and structured water is output from the system 20 and , in particular , from multi - coil system 127 . fig2 a is a block diagram of the system for preparing water with a stable negative orp 103 . system 103 includes water preconditioning system 100 and electrolysis machine 101 . as discussed above , water preconditioning system 100 outputs water preconditioned for electrolysis machine 101 via pipe 75 . a cut off valve 75 a may be provided on pipe 75 to control the flow of the water . the preconditioned water is , in turn , received by electrolysis machine 101 , and electrolysis is performed thereon to yield both alkaline water output through pipe 105 to holding tank 109 and acidic water output through pipe 107 to acidic water tank 110 . as discussed above , both the alkaline water and acidic water have a stable negative orp . the acidic water output via pipe 107 is not designed for consumption , but it has many other uses and advantages . for example , acidic water can be used for cleaning many things , such as pipes , etc . it can also be mixed with hair rinse . the mixture can vary from ph 4 . 0 to ph 6 . 5 ( 6 . 7 ) and preferably between ˜ 4 parts per volume of water to ˜ 1 part per volume of hair rinse all the way to ˜ 1 part per volume of water to ˜ 4 parts per volume of hair rinse , and more preferably ˜ 1 part per volume of water with ˜ 1 part per volume of hair rinse . it can also be used in the same manner mixed with shampoo because it acts as a reagent and helps clean oils out of hair . typically , when water is output from an electrolysis system , the negative orp that is created does not stay very long . it typically only remains for minutes at a time . the negative orp of water treated with embodiments of the present invention can be less than − 100 . for both the alkaline and the acidic water at pipes 105 and 107 , respectively , typically the negative orp begins at ˜ 183 orp . however , as the water settles out , some of the electrons are given off due to a variety of reasons , and it ultimately settles out at approximately ˜− 170 orp to ˜− 173 orp . both the alkaline and acidic water can maintain ˜− 170 to ˜− 173 orp for 6 months to up to ˜ 2 years or more depending on the electromagnetic environment next to or near the storage area . water in this state gives a multitude of free electrons which then can become an antioxidant in the blood . at this point the water , both the alkaline water and the acidic water , have structure . if the water in holding tank 109 is not processed within ˜ 24 hours , the structure begins to deteriorate , although the negative orp remains , as discussed above . accordingly , for structure purposes , it is advantageous to continue processing the alkaline water in holding tank 109 as quickly as possible . that is , it is advantageous to proceed to output the alkaline water in holding tank 109 via pipe 111 to the oxygen / water combining system 113 as quickly as possible . fig2 b is a flow chart of a method for preparing water with a stable negative orp , in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention . system 103 for preparing water with a stable negative orp performs the following steps : at step s 412 , water is preconditioned for electrolysis , and at step s 414 electrolysis is performed before outputting alkaline and / or acidic water at step s 416 . water preconditioning system 100 performs step s 412 and electrolysis machine 101 performs step s 414 . at step s 412 , system 103 outputs alkaline water to holding tank 109 via pipe 105 and acidic water to acid water tank 110 via pipe 107 . step s 412 for preconditioning water involves performing steps s 402 , s 404 , s 406 , s 408 , and s 410 , discussed below in connection with fig2 d . fig2 c shows a water preconditioning system 100 for conditioning water for electrolysis , according to one embodiment of the present invention . water preconditioning system 100 includes a filter system 104 , a uv system 108 , a circulating tank 112 , an ozone machine 116 , and a magnetic structuring stage 120 . system 100 for preconditioning water operates generally as follows . first , high quality water is received by filter system 104 . high quality water may be water received from water source 152 , for example , an aquafier well , preferably an aquafier well located in certain geographic areas throughout the world , such as northern new mexico and , more specifically , new mexico , missouri and hawaii . for example , a pump 140 , such as a pressure pump , can be used to pump the water from a well house 144 to filter system 104 via a pipe 148 . the aquafier well 152 may be deep , for example , ˜ 850 feet deep . water received by filter system 104 via pipe 148 is then filtered by filter system 104 and output via a pipe 156 to uv system 108 . water output from uv system 108 via pipe 146 is then input to circulating tank 112 , which in turn is coupled via a pipe 136 to an ozone machine 116 . pipe 1063 is provided to allow water to circulate between the circulating tank 112 , the ozone machine 116 and the magnetic structuring stage 120 . the ozone machine 116 is selectively activatable . a valve 186 and bypass pipe 1062 are provided for selective bypass of the magnetic structuring stage 120 . after passing through magnetic structuring stage 120 , preconditioned water may be output via a pipe 164 . filter system 104 may be , for example , a four - stage filtering system which includes a ˜ 10 μm filter 124 , followed by a ˜ 5 μm filter 128 , followed by a ˜ 0 . 5 μm filter 132 , followed by a carbon filter 134 . uv system 108 preferably includes a uv chamber carbon block filter ( 10 ″ 0 . 5 micron ), and a uv # 10 lamp ( 120v , 0 . 420 amp unit ). the operation of system 100 will be explained with reference to fig2 d , which is a flow chart of a method for preconditioning water . water from water source 152 is received by system 100 for preconditioning water at step s 402 . the water is filtered by filtering system 104 at step s 404 . step s 406 involves subjecting the water to ultraviolet radiation with uv system 108 . steps s 408 - s 410 involve circulating water between circulating tank 112 , ozone machine 116 to add ozone to the water , and magnetic structuring stage 120 to preferably subject the water to a series of magnetic fields . ozone machine 116 can be set between 1 mm / liter 10 scfh and 1 . 2 mm / liter 15 scfh , and the water is preferably exposed to ozone less than ˜ 15 seconds per ˜ 100 gallons to prevent burning , more preferably approximately between ˜ two and 10 seconds per ˜ 100 gallons , and most preferably ˜ 5 - 8 seconds per 100 gallons . step s 412 involves outputting water from magnetic structuring stage 120 as preconditioned water , which can then be input to electrolysis machine 101 . a residual of 0 . 1 - 0 . 4 ppm of ozone is typically left in the treated water . as discussed above , circulating tank 112 is coupled via pipe 136 to ozone machine 116 , which is in turn coupled to magnetic structuring stage 120 via pipe 160 . pipe 1063 connects magnetic structuring stage 120 to circulating tank 112 to form a complete circulation loop . as discussed above , ozone machine 116 is preferably operated for ˜ 5 - 8 seconds for every ˜ 100 gallons contained in circulating tank 112 . however , ozone machine 116 may operate for up to ˜ 15 seconds for every ˜ 100 gallons in circulating tank 112 . however , operation should not exceed ˜ 15 seconds for every ˜ 100 gallons of water in circulating tank 112 in order to prevent burning . this essentially saturates and shocks the water . typical ozone machine operations are between ˜ 0 . 08 to ˜ 0 . 8 mm per liter , which is not sufficient to saturate / shock the water . exceeding ˜ 15 mm per liter results in essentially “ burning ” the water as mentioned above , so that the water tastes as if it were boiled . burned water has an unnatural taste and , when one drinks it , is so caustic that it can strip out saliva from the mouth . it has utility in that it can “ clear out ” one &# 39 ; s pipes and has very powerful antibacterial effect in that it can strip bacteria out that most people have a difficult time ridding from their system . for example , iron bacteria in domestic wells is a significant problem . many believe that the only way to kill them is with excessive chlorine , but that really does not do a complete job . with this system , ˜ 12 seconds per 100 gallons of ozonated water kills iron bacteria . magnetic structuring stage 120 is shown in fig3 a . water flows from pipe 160 into pipe 162 at location 200 and flows out at location 204 . pipe 162 includes a series of magnetic donut rings 163 . according to a preferred embodiment of the invention , other magnet shapes might include north pole bar magnets or other magnets . in this embodiment , there are preferably 14 such donut rings 163 a - 163 n evenly spaced over a distance “ d ” of approximately 7 feet , such that their central longitudinal axis are spaced apart a distance “ a ” of ˜ 6 . 46 ″. donut ring 163 a preferably has a magnetic field strength of ˜ 350 gauss , while the magnetic field strength of donut ring 163 b linearly increases by a difference of ˜ 91 . 66 gauss to ˜ 441 gauss . further , the magnetic field strength of each subsequent donut ring preferably increases by the same amount linearly until it reaches a maximum value of ˜ 900 gauss . the magnetic field strength of donut rings 163 g and 163 h are both preferably ˜ 900 gauss . the remaining magnets 163 i through 163 n preferably have magnetic field strengths or flux that are also linearly decreased by ˜ 91 gauss . fig3 b is a graph showing the magnetic flux of the magnetic donut rings of an exemplary magnetic structuring stage plotted versus distance or position of the donut rings . in fig3 b , the lowest value “ lgauss ” of magnetic flux for a donut ring is ˜ 350 gauss , while the highest value “ hgauss ” of magnetic flux is ˜ 900 gauss . however , hgauss value can be varied , for example to ˜ 1200 gauss . when hgauss is ˜ 1200 gauss , the water can become too clarifying to the colon . in another embodiment of the invention , hgauss can be varied as high as ˜ 1800 gauss . the value of hgauss depends on the flow rate of the water through pipe 162 . as hgauss is increased , the maximum flow rate is preferably decreased . if the flow rate is too slow , the water breaks down . the purpose of magnetic structuring stage 120 is to structure the water as it passes through the series of magnets 163 . the number and shape of magnets 163 can be varied . the flow rate is controlled by the pressure of the water entering location 200 of pipe 162 , which pressure can vary anywhere from ˜ 22 psi up to ˜ 30 psi . at ˜ 31 psi , there is a break over point . water output at location 204 is considered structured water . when hgauss is ˜ 1200 gauss , the water can hold more oxygen . the flow rate of the water preferably increases as the value of hgauss is increased in order to maintain equilibrium pressure / gauss . fig4 a is a block diagram of an oxygen / water combining system , according to one embodiment of the present invention . ozone treated alkaline water input to holding tank 109 via pipe 105 is then output from holding tank 109 to oxygen / water combining system 113 via pipe 111 . a pump 523 and pressure gauge 519 are preferably provided on pipe 111 to control water flow . oxygen / water combining system 113 includes a structured oxygen generator 600 , which outputs structured oxygen via pipe 117 , which is combined and coupled to pipe 111 at valve 119 . the ozone treated alkaline water is mixed with the structured oxygen from pipe 117 at valve 119 , and both are then directed via pipe 118 to diffusion chamber 115 . structured oxygen generating machine 600 outputs high pressure oxygen at pipe 117 . for example , structured oxygen generating machine 600 may output structured oxygen at up to ˜ 300 psi changing pressures change electron ring formulation in molecule via pipe 117 before combining with the ozone treated alkaline water in pipe 111 . pipe 111 may be , for example , an ˜ 1 inch pipe . the combination of water and oxygen in pipe 118 is then sprayed into the diffusion chamber 115 via a pipe 504 in fluid communication with a spray nozzle 503 . the spray nozzle 503 has a very small orifice , for example , less than ˜ 0 . 1 inches and preferably less than ˜ 0 . 01 inches and more preferably ˜ 0 . 0078 inches in diameter . diffusion chamber 115 includes a cylinder 507 capable of generating a type of tornado or vortex 511 in diffusion chamber 115 . diffusion chamber 115 may be , for example , a modified water filter rated to 250 psi with the top of the water filter replaced with a small set of fittings , for example , ˜ ⅜ inch brass fittings , that go through a ˜ 1 inch orifice , where a pipe for the water filter would normally be located . at the end of pipe 504 is spray nozzle 503 . spray nozzle 503 may be ˜ ¼ inch in diameter and preferably has a spray fan which is designed to have a spray fan angle that creates a strong vortex of the oxygen - water combination in chamber 115 . the resulting spray fan angle is preferably ˜ 15 °. the oxygen - water combination at the input of pipe 504 is preferably under a pressure of ˜ 60 psi . the tornado 511 is essentially a clockwise vortex that is created in cylinder 507 . the tornado 511 has a cream - like appearance due to the fine oxygen bubbles . that is , the tornado 511 is essentially white because all of the oxygen is pulled into the center of the vortex . the width of the tornado or vortex 511 is preferably ˜ ¾ inch and extends all the way to the bottom of the preferably 18 ″ to 24 ″ cylinder 507 . at the bottom of cylinder 507 is a pressure escape valve 513 which is coupled to a pipe 515 a which , in a preferred embodiment , is ˜ ½ inch in diameter . the pipe 515 a which is coupled to holding tank 109 . pipe 515 b also couples diffusion chamber 115 to holding tank 109 . pipe 25 connects oxygen / water combining system 113 to cone system 121 , with a pressure gauge 25 a and cut off valve 25 b ( see fig1 a ) provided on pipe 25 to control water flow . pressure escape valve 513 and pipe 515 a provide pressure relief for the system . oxygen is mixed with water at location 119 . it is desirable to saturate the water with oxygen so that there is an abundance of oxygen . because there is a saturation of oxygen , it can actually add oxygen to the water rather than pull oxygen out of the water . fig4 b is a flow chart of an oxygen / water combining method , according to one embodiment of the present invention , performed by the oxygen / water combining system 113 . step s 531 involves receiving ozone treated alkaline water via pipe 111 . step s 533 involves mixing oxygen with ozone treated alkaline water at valve 119 . step s 535 involves forcing the mixture of oxygen and ozone treated alkaline water through spray nozzle 503 in diffusion chamber 115 to create tornado / vortex 511 . step s 537 involves outputting oxygen enriched structured water from diffusion chamber 115 . step s 539 involves outputting the oxygen enriched structured water from oxygen / water combining system 113 via pipe 25 . fig5 a is a block diagram of a structured oxygen generating machine 600 according to one embodiment of the present invention . structured oxygen generating machine 600 includes a compressor 604 , which is coupled via a pipe 608 to an oxygen generator 612 . compressor 604 may be , for example , a ˜ 25 horsepower compressor which outputs refrigerated and cleaned air at ˜ 250 psi to oxygen generator 612 . oxygen generator 612 may be , for example , an ogs oxygen generator . oxygen generator 612 outputs oxygen via a pipe 614 at , for example , ˜ 70 psi to an oxygen storage tank 616 . oxygen storage tank 616 in turn outputs oxygen at high pressure ( up to ˜ 300 psi ) through a high pressure pipe 620 to an oxygen enhancer 622 . the oxygen is then directed to a valve 624 , which in turn directs the oxygen through either a first magnetic structuring stage 628 or a second magnetic structuring stage 632 . when valve 624 is in a first position , oxygen output from oxygen enhancer 622 passes through pipe 626 to first magnetic structuring stage 628 , shown in more detail in fig6 a . that is , oxygen from oxygen enhancer 622 is input to first magnetic structuring stage 628 via pipe 626 and , after passing through first magnetic structuring stage 628 , is output through pipe 631 to pipe 117 as structured oxygen . when valve 624 is in a second position , oxygen from oxygen enhancer 622 passes through pipe 630 to the second magnetic structuring stage 632 , shown in more detail in fig6 b .

method for producing structured oxygen , according to one embodiment of the present invention . at step s 670 , refrigerated and cleaned air is input to the oxygen generator 612 under pressure . oxygen generator 612 , in turn , outputs highly pressurized oxygen to oxygen storage tank 616 via pipe 614 at step s 674 . at step s 678 , highly pressurized oxygen is input to either first magnetic structuring stage 628 or second magnetic structuring stage 632 . at step s 682 , magnetically structured oxygen is output from either the first magnetic structuring stage 628 or the second magnetic

appropriate width for the void 6290 is approximately ½ inch . however , the number , arrangement , and strength of the magnets may be varied , and an appropriate width of the void 6290 may be

lowering effect activity , such as what typically occurs in an animal , such as a human , after an oxygen - consuming activity , such as exercise . changes in these physiologically measurable parameters are typically attendant an increase in physical activity , stress or other fatigue - inducing event . the parameters that were measured in the present study were changes in subjects consuming the oxygen - enriched , microstructured water preparations verses subjects consuming conventional bottled water . the changes in these two subject populations were monitored for changes in heart rate , changes in oxygen saturation , changes in blood lactate , changes in oxygen consumption , and changes in fatigue assessment by a patient in response to a defined exercise regimen after having consumed a defined quantity of the oxygen - enriched , structured and / or microstructured water , or after consuming a conventional bottled water . the present study was a randomized , double blind crossover study . subjects were recruited from training facilities in montreal . subjects were tested on four different days during a two - week period . the subjects comprised a group of males and females of at least 18 years in age in good physical condition . none of the test subjects had any history of serious chronic disease . each of the test subjects had been in physical training during the previous year , training at least 2 times per week , during the time preceding their participation in the present study . the test subjects were randomly assigned to a group to receive the oxygen enriched , structured and microstructured water preparation verses a preparation of conventional tap or bottled water ( placebo ). the total duration of the study was 14 days , comprised of four ( 4 ) evaluation visits . each subject , depending on the group assigned , was asked to drink 500 ml of the oxygen - enriched structured and microstructured water or 500 ml of the bottled santa fe municipal city water . each subject was then asked to sit for 5 minutes . after 5 minutes , a baseline physiological set of measurements were recorded for each subject . these measurements included heart rate , blood pressure , blood oxygen , blood oxygen saturation , and blood lactate . once recorded , the subject began a 5 - minute warm - up on a treadmill . after this warm - up period , the subject began a multi - stage vo 2 - max test . each subject then underwent a standardized five - step exercise tolerance test to fatigue . during this test , each subject was asked to consume 500 ml of the oxygen - rich , microstructured water or bottled spring water , according to the initial test group to which they were originally assigned . ( total consumption by each test subject was between ½ and ¾ liter ). the multi - stage vo 2 - max test commenced at a speed of 11 . 3 km / hr ( 7 . 02 miles / hr ) and a slope of 2 degrees . the slope was then progressively increased by 2 degrees every minute . at the end of each stage , heart rate , blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation were measured . upon maximal exertion , vo 2 max was calculated and blood lactate was measured . a visual analog scale was used to assess perceived fatigue ( i . e ., maximal exertion ), at the end of the vo2 max . for this determination , the subject was asked to place an “ x ” on a 10 cm line indicating how tired they felt at the end of the vo 2 max test with one end of the line indication no fatigue ( 0 ), and the other end indication exhaustion ( 10 ). this routine was repeated with the same product 2 days later . a third visit took place one week later when subjects were asked to return to the gym . each subject then completed the same protocol of exercise a second time , this time consuming the opposite product ( i . e ., group 1 — bottled santa fe municipal city water ( placebo ) consumed ( ½ to ¾ liter ) during exercise test session 1 ; group 1 — oxygen - enriched , structured and microstructured water ( agfw ) consumed ( ½ to ¾ liter ) during exercise test session 2 ) ( group 2 — bottled spring water ( placebo ) consumed ( 1 liter ) during exercise test session 1 ( 1 liter ); group 2 — oxygen - enriched , microstructured water ( agfw ) during exercise test session2 ). as demonstrated in the data presented at tables 1 , 2 and 3 , the performance parameters that were assessed and compared in response to consumption of the oxygen - enriched , microstructured water preparations were heart rate , oxygen saturation , blood lactate , and oxygen consumption and fatigue assessment . as used in this study and others described throughout this application , “ fatigue ” is defined as the length of physical exertion needed for the subject to assess subjectively an exhaustion level of at least 7 on a scale of 0 to 10 . table 1 presents the data collected from the subjects at a first visit and at a second visit . table 2 presents the change demonstrated in each of the performance parameters . table 3 presents an analysis of the differences between the changes observed in each of the performance parameters examined . the following efficacy outcome measures were defined to assess the effect of consuming the oxygen - enriched water preparations on exercise performance in the subject participants . for each parameter , the measurement at each visit was determined as pl1 ( placebo , first visit ), pl2 ( placebo , visit 2 ), agfw1 ( oxygen - enriched water , visit 1 ), and agfw2 ( oxygen - enriched water , visit 2 ). the primary outcome variable for the studies was the latter variable that measures the percent difference in the effect between the oxygen - enriched water and the placebo . given that each subject used both the placebo and the oxygen - enriched preparations , and the fact that the distribution of the study outcomes deviated from normal due to the small sample size , the kolmogorov - smirnov paired , non - parametric tests were used to assess the statistical significance of the different water regimens . the null hypothesis tested was the mean change between the oxygen - enriched preparations ( agfw ) and the placebo was zero . two tailed significance testing was used . when the distribution of the variable deviated from the normal , the non - parametric was used . at visit one , a significant difference was observed in the heart rate of patients consuming the oxygen - enriched , structured and microstructured water , compared to subjects who consumed conventional tap water . at visit 1 , a significant difference was observed in heart rate . heart rate ( hr ) is proportional to the work rate in physical activities with anaerobic energy supply . the relationship between hr and workload is highly reproducible for any individual ( 1 ). the simple way of registering hr has made it the most widely used estimate of metabolic strain in training or competition for many types of exercise ( 2 - 4 ). the measurement of heart rate in this study was based on the change in pulse between the beginning and the end of the exercise test defined as 80 % maximum capacity . the reduction of change in heart rate during exercise until fatigue indicates that subjects who consumed the oxygen - enriched water increased their endurance by significantly reducing the increase of pulse by 65 %. the mean ( sd ) percent change was 0 . 65 ( 4 . 95 ), indicating that when subjects consumed the oxygen - enriched water , the change in heart rate during exercise to fatigue was reduced by 65 % when compared to placebo . the present example demonstrates the utility of the present compositions and methods for inhibiting and / or onset of fatigue in a human . the maintenance of oxygen saturation levels ( i . e ., decreasing the change in oxygen saturation levels attendant exercise ) in response to exercise is also demonstrated . oxygen saturation measurements were taken during the exercise periods . the change in oxygen saturation between beginning of the exercise and the end was used for the determination of effect on oxygen saturation . when subjects consumed the oxygen - enriched water product , the change in blood oxygen saturation after a period of exercise was significantly less than the dramatic drop in blood oxygen saturation demonstrated after exercise in subjects that consumed the bottled santa fe municipal city water ( placebo ). the results show that when the subjects used the oxygen - enriched preparations , the drop in oxygen saturation was less by a factor of 1 . 5 ( 150 %), in comparison to the drop in oxygen saturation demonstrated in subjects consuming the santa fe municipal city bottled water preparations ( placebo ). this effect is statistically significant ( p = 0 . 041 ). the present example demonstrates the utility of the present compositions and methods for inhibiting and / or reducing the increase in levels of blood lactate attendant exercise in a human . in addition , and because blood lactate level may be directly correlated with lactic acid accumulation in muscle attendant exercise , the present example also demonstrates the utility of the presently described methods and compositions for reducing muscle soreness , and for reducing lactic acid accumulation in muscle as indicated by blood lactate levels . the present study demonstrates that consumption of the defined oxygen enriched preparation significantly inhibited ( i . e ., reduced ) the typical increase in blood lactate levels saturation typically attendant exercise . patients were treated and monitored as outlined in example 1 . blood lactate levels were obtained from all subjects . the data from these studies is presented in tables 1 , 2 and 3 . blood lactate levels were at least 89 . 95 % lower in subjects consuming the oxygen - enriched water preparations , compared to blood lactate levels in subjects consuming the bottled water preparation ( placebo ), after the defined exercise regimen . this difference is statistically significant ( p = 0 . 010 ). lactate in the blood can be correlated with the accumulation level of lactic acid in muscle tissue ; the present data also provides indication that the consumption of the oxygen - enriched water preparations as defined herein can significantly reduce lactic acid accumulation in tissues . it is thus further expected that the use of the oxygen - enriched water preparations as herein defined can significantly reduce the muscle soreness / burning typically attendant periods after extreme exercise . the present example is presented to demonstrate the utility of the present methods for reducing and / or inhibiting the significant and sudden increase on oxygen consumption attendant exercise n a human . subjects were treated according to the regimen outlined in example 1 . the oxygen consumption data collected from the subjects that consumed the oxygen - enriched microconstructed water ( agfw ) or the bottled spring water ( placebo ) is presented at tables 1 , 2 and 3 . the study demonstrated that consumption of the defined oxygen enriched preparation significantly inhibited ( i . e ., reduced ) the characteristic increase in oxygen consumption levels saturation typically attendant exercise . over a period of three days of consumption the oxygen - enriched water preparations , a much more static , conservative and constant amount of oxygen consumption was achieved by the body . this is contrasted by the significant increase in oxygen consumption illustrated by the significant increase in oxygen consumption . oxygen consumption was reduced by 50 %. this change was also statistically significant ( p = 0 . 004 ). the present example is presented to demonstrate the utility of the present methods and compositions for reducing and / or inhibiting the onset of fatigue in response to exercise in a human . subjects were treated according t the regimen outlined in example 1 . the fatigue assessment data from the subjects that consumed the oxygen - enriched microstructured water ( agfw ) or the bottled santa fe municipal city water ( placebo ) is presented at tables 1 , 2 and 3 . the mean standard deviation ( sd ) percent change was 0 . 65 ( 4 . 95 ), indicating that when subjects consumed the oxygen enriched preparations , the change in heart rate during exercise to fatigue was reduced by 65 % when compared to placebo . a statistically significant difference with respect to subjective assessment of fatigue by a factor of 59 % in subjects consuming the oxygen - enriched preparations . ( p = 0 . 04 ). the present example is presented to demonstrate the utility of the present methods and compositions for increasing and / or replenishing available oxygen in the blood stream by consuming the oxygen - enriched microstructured water preparations . the present studies were conducted on humans using a medical oximeter . in these studies , it was demonstrated that consumption of the oxygen - enriched , microstructered component containing water compositions of the present invention greatly increased the availability of oxygen in the bloodstream . using the oximeter , it is shown that a person &# 39 ; s blood oxygen levels taken at high altitude ( over 5 , 000 feet ) can be increased within two minutes of consuming the enriched oxygen , microstructured water . the overall increase in oxygen in the blood at high altitudes usually increases from three ( 3 ) to six ( 6 ) points after drinking either ounces of the oxygen enriched , microstructured water . a medical grade oximeter provides an accurate analysis of blood oxygen levels that is not invasive to the patient and that is immediately detectable . the accuracy of the device is +/− 2 %. the device is slipped over the top of , for example , a finger , and allowed to moniter and take a reading of the patient / subject both before and after consuming the appropriate amount of the oxygen enriched , microstructured water . the medical grade oximeter used in the present example demonstrated a measurable increase in the blood hemoglobin levels of the patient . these results demonstrate the utility of using the presently disclosed methods and compositions for the treatment of a variety of conditions associated and / or linked with low blood oxygen , such as altitude sickness . in addition , it is anticipated that the present compositions are also useful as a preferred beverage for consumption by professional athletes and / or those persons involved in any competitive sport , and provide for an enhancement of the persons endurance and performance as a result of the increase in available blood oxygen . the present example demonstrates that the oxygen - enriched preparations herein are capable of retaining a higher concentration and / or amount of oxygen under open - air ( i . e ., open container ) conditions . absent the microstructured nature of the present preparations , the oxygen concentration would decrease and leak / evaporate away . a wtw 300 do meter was used to test and determine oxygen content and stability in the oxygenated alkaline structured water ( this water was 6 months old ). the oxygen content was tested at 76 ppm and tested every hour on the hour for three days . the water was placed in a 4 inch open beaker in a warehouse that had no air conditioning . temperatures ranged from 74 ° f . at night to 101 ° f . during the day . even after agitating the water in the four inch wide beaker every hour after three days , the first hour of the fourth day there was approximately 30 ppm of oxygen in the water . when the water was subsequently boiled , frozen and shaken , the water still was just as effective biologically even though the oxygen was reduced to 30 % of its original levels using a do meter . the foregoing embodiments and advantages are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting the invention . the present teaching can be readily applied to other types of apparatuses . the description of the invention is intended to be illustrative , and not to limit the scope of the claims . many alternatives , modifications , and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art . in the claims , means - plus - function clauses are intended to cover the structures described herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents but also equivalent structures .
