Rare Biblically Inspired Quack Health Literature The Diet of Oxygen by ET Tennyson
Tennyson, E.T. The Diet of Oxygen. Harvest Publications. Jefferson City, Missouri. 1956.
A modern diet (and exercise plan) from “the Ancients of the Bible”, by the editor of alternative health periodical the Harvest News Letter, ET Tennyson, aiming to promote a greater level of oxygen in the body. Claiming that reports of centuries long lives among biblical elders were correct, Tennyson says that Noah’s flood was caused by the collapse of Earth’s water rich rings, which reduced the available oxygen due to changes in atmospheric pressure. Some semblance of this effect can be reproduced, he claims, by diet which avoids fermentation.
