System for providing protection from reactive oxygen species

[0021]The present invention is a method to produce a beneficial effect such as that seen with low-calorie diets in animals, by neutralizing reactive oxygen species to reduce harm to the body. The present method, as will be described in detail below, involves the maintenance of concentrations in the body of one or more compounds whose purpose is to combine with and overwhelm the reactive oxygen species, and to remove them as they are produced to greatly lower the levels of these reactive oxygen species.

[0022]These compounds are fuel gas compounds, to be detailed below. Fuel gases are commonly burned with oxygen to produce heat. These are used as industrial gases, and general health and safety guidelines for these gases have been established. These gases are all classified as simple asphyxiants. [United States OSHA Regulations (Standards—29 CFR, Gases, vapors, fumes, dusts, and mists—1926.55 App A), wherein is stated, “The limiting factor is the available oxygen which shall be at least 1
