Synopsis
This book, Hydrogen Peroxide: A Health, Homeostatic and Protective Essentiality, verifies the crucial role of hydrogen peroxide, oxygen free radicals and electronically modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs) in healing, sexual function, reproduction, pathogen protection and cancer protection. Once again, we see that electronically modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs) are essential for homeostasis and normal functioning of the body and its organs. The fallen free radical theory has radically misled us many times for over half a century. Oxygen and its electronically modified oxygen derivative (EMOD) progeny are the sine qua non (the essential condition) of man's very existence. This is an inarguable fact. H2O2 is now recognized as a ubiquitous intracellular messenger under subtoxic conditions. Thus, get out of your head the concept that EMODs, and in particular hydrogen peroxide, are some cellular assassinating radical products generated only by angry PMNs. EMODs and hydrogen peroxide are intentionally generated salutary cellular products intended to help regulate critical metabolic and reproductive mechanisms. I believe that hydrogen peroxide is the most prevalent, and perhaps the most significant EMOD in the body, even exceeding the well recognized importance of nitric oxide. Hydrogen peroxide is ubiquitous, omnipresent and in steady state levels in all aerobic cells, due to its crucial protective role in sustaining and perpetuating mankind.
About the Author
Prof Randolph M. Howes, MD, PhD Dr. Howes was born on a small strawberry farm East of Ponchatoula, Louisiana. He attended Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) and was honored as a SLU Legend, and as an Outstanding SLU Alumnus, along with Robin Roberts of ABC News Good Morning America. SLU articles referred to him as "a da Vinci in cowboy boots." While working on double doctorate degrees at Tulane University School of Medicine, Dr. Howes worked as a technician on the isolation of thyrotropin releasing factor with Nobel Laureate, Dr. Andrew V. Schally, studied under Dr. Richard Steele, whose mentor was Nobel Laureate, Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgii, met Nobel Laureates, George Wald and Dr. Linus Pauling, who felt that Dr. Howes could help bridge the gap between physicians and scientists. Later, he was also a friends of Nobel laureate, Lou Ignarro and the late Dr. Fritz Lipmann. He was the first in the history of Tulane School of Medicine to receive double doctorate degrees in medicine and biochemistry simultaneously. He was the first to be designated by the late Dr. Theodore Drapanas as a trained "surgical scientist" at Tulane Medical School. During his surgery residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. George Zuidema, Chief and Blalock Professor of Surgery, gave him permission to conduct research studies concurrent with his surgical training in the highly sought after William Stewart Halstead Surgery program. He was granted lab space by Dr. John Cameron, past president of the American Surgical Association, and he wrote many papers on surgical and oxygen free radical subjects during his residency training. He was the first to complete board eligibility in both general and plastic surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, while doing basic research on oxygen metabolism, all in a six-year period. He had the opportunity to work with the pioneer of mitochondrial biochemical function, Dr. Albert L. Lehninger. Dr. Howes invented the triple lumen venous catheter, which has been credited with helping save the lives of over 20 million critically ill patients worldwide. His catheter is the number one venous catheter in the world and his name is well recognized in over 100 countries. He received the Harper Award from the American College for Advancement in Medicine, served as their keynote speaker. In 2013, he was the first to be awarded the Charles Farr award for "excellence in oxidative medicine" by the American College for Advancement in Medicine.
