As I can recall, purchasing oxygen for the alleged theraputic effects
became trendy in Japan in the mid-80's. For the equivalent of several
hundred dollars, one could sit in an oxygen booth and breathe clean air.
If one goes this route, though, and purchases oxygen for one hour per
day, what does one breathe the other 23 hours in the day?
