Could one survive via what effect is an enema of the fluid that is used in extreme diving suits (ala The Abyss) for fluidic oxygenation?
OK - I am going to take this to the extreme:
If one were to have a fluid oxygen enema, would their mobility be increased (long distance running) with even a gel cap suppository that will dissolve and release oxygen into the system?

And on the conspiracy market: There was a child who (i believe from siberia/russia/somthing) who claimed to be from mars.
In his statements he said that the age of Humans is limited due to our bodies requirement for Oxygen; that Oxygen is the reason we age as fast as we do.
"we rust"
Sort of thing... It was really interesting to hear decades ago, but what is really interesting is the science that has been discovered since surrounding oxidation of biologics...
Given the amount of oxygen we breath and that our lungs are just for the job of collecting it (and discharging CO2) I would say you might save yourself that discomfort for the little it would achieve.
So in addition to literal breathing, an oxi-suppo could boost metabolic performance in someone like a runner (like a soccer player, as an example as the avg running of a professional soccer game is listed at 7 miles-ish)
Also, there is a genetic reference to those who have higher-volume nasal passage-ways.
Humans evolved (this is not my statement, I have heard this from a number of scientists) - that our bipedal motion, with our air-consumption, coupled with our ability to sweat and lack of 'fur' allow us to off-gas much faster and more efficiently...
our muscles produce lactic acid as a result which is tired-ness.
OBV oxygen is delivered through the blood... such as are nutrients... so...
a suppository oxygenating pill might actually be a performance enhancing "drug"?
