> Organisms with Aerobic (high oxygen) vs organisms with anaerobic (low oxygen) metabolic processes within the human body.

That line just has no meaning when applied to physiology. The partial pressure of O2 at the level of the cell is between 3-5mmHg O2. This changes barely at all whether the body is hyper oxygenated (ie hooked up to high flow O2 in a hospital) or in the middle of a marathon. The idea that there are 'low oxygen' centres in our tissues is rediculous pseudoscience. Ie, terms that are sprouted with no meaning. And what do you mean by organisms? How basic is your understanding of human biology? Do you mean cells? It still has no meaning!

>I would intuitively think

Well that's the problem. Life doesn't work by intuition no matter how lovely it may feel to be living with the holistic anti science mindset. Facts are facts and the facts are a 'holistic/naturalistic' lifestyle, whatever that may mean these days, is not going to prevent or cure cancer any more Than the 'normal' methods of stopping smoking, exercising and remaining in a reasonable weight range
