37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,000

Speaker 2: his conclusions. One of the most important ones, he claimed,

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: was the existence of acidosis, a disorder suggestive of low

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,799

45

Speaker 2: oxygen naturally want to breathe, and the body naturally heals

46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,160

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: Ellis was forced to lie on his stomach by the

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: police and was unable to find a posture that would

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,440
