An Oxygen Alternative?

Hi all--
Just had a thought and thought I would get it out there... Has anyone thought about experimenting with using Oxygen Pills? They are mainly for weight lifters, but from what little I have read, their main purpose is to: "increase oxygen saturation of blood and tissue" and are used by "• Bodybuilders • Viagra Users • Baby Boomers • High Altitude Sportsmen" It would seem a potential solution for oxygen therapy for those who can't get O2 at home.
Just a thought...

Are oxygen pills anything like liquid oxygen added to water?
Ueli said adding oxygen to water is only good for fish. I believe him.

Yes, I am very skeptical about the pills and 'oxygenated water' also. And being a newbie and not reading all the archives, I don't mind being flamed for asking a question that was probably asked a million times  Flame away Ueli  N4H, if you find it ludicrous, then the thread can probably drop now...

My rationale for posting this thread:
These so-called oxygen pills contain Crenulin.
Rhodiola comprises several species of plants in the Crassulacea family – and is generally found in the arctic mountain regions of Siberia. The root of the plant is used medicinally and is also known as "Arctic root" or "Golden root" and more recently as “Crenulin”. Rhodiola has been used for hundreds of years to treat cold and flu-like symptoms, promote longevity and increase the body’s resistance to physical and mental stresses. …
… Rhodiola rosea extract is valuable as an adaptogen, to increase the body’s ability to deal with a number of psychological and physiological stresses. Of particular value is the theoretical role for Rhodiola in increasing the body’s ability to take up and utilize oxygen - an effect similar to that of Cordyceps which may explain some of the non-stimulant “energizing” effects attributed to the plant.
Cordyceps is a Chinese mushroom used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for “lung protection” and “reproductive invigoration” as well as to balance the “Qi” – the fundamental “energy of life.” Cordyceps is also known as the Chinese caterpillar fungus (yuck!) because it is a parasitic organism that grows on a rare Tibetan caterpillar until the caterpillar dies and the mushroom sprouts from the caterpillar’s head (double yuck!!). Luckily, the source of cordyceps used in most modern supplements is not pulverized caterpillar heads, but a strain grown on soybeans or other less disgusting nutrient source.
Cordyceps being a mushroom, I figured there may be something else going on in addition to the psilocybin… maybe some other property of the mushroom helping with oxygen utilization. That’s all..
