Currently, it is believed that the composition of the
atmosphere of the ancient Earth was radically different from the composition of
the modern one. In particular, it is believed that the atmosphere of the
ancient Earth, unlike the modern one, was not only rich in carbon dioxide, but
also completely free of gaseous oxygen. This, accordingly, means that the first
terrestrial cells appeared in water bodies enriched with carbon dioxide and
completely free of gaseous oxygen. At the same time, the fact that the first
cells survived and eventually even transformed into highly organized life forms
means that that these same bodies of water effectively protected cellular life
forms from unwanted external factors such as changes in acidity. Based on the
above considerations, it is shown here that these very protective properties of
ancient bodies of water were due to the presence of carbon dioxide in them.
However, it is shown here that it is precisely these protective properties
acquired by carbon dioxide in the aquatic environment that are important for
maintaining the well-being of modern people, especially those who are sensitive
to the weather. Accordingly, all this creates a sufficiently clear basis for
carboxytherapy. Thus, it is shown here that the therapeutic use of carbon
dioxide by modern doctors is fully justified, as it allows patients to be more
resistant to adverse external factors.
Carboxytherapy, weather sensitivity, human buffers, geopathic zones.
