It is, at least, a medical hoax since I can think of 1) no physiologic
mechanism by which ingested oxygen can be made to increase blood oxygen
and 2) no physical mechanism by which gasseous oxygen could be kept in
solution at atmospheric pressure.
Reminds me of the time that a person called the Poison Control Center
after having swallowed a small amount of hydrogen peroxide which they
were gargling and was told by the person on phone duty that it was no
problem: "hydrogen peroxide is just water with an extra oxygen."
