Why Do We Use Enhanced Air (Oxygen) With
Our
Treatment Program?
The
Benefits of Oxygen
The three basic
nutrients without which planet earth could not exist as a home for living things are light, water, and oxygen.
Everybody knows that walking in fresh air does you good.
It promotes the capacity of thinking and improves efficiency. A deep breath raises our energy levels within a short
time. Even after physical exercises we feel more active and fresh although a lot of energy has been used
up.
One major reason for aging is the failure of enzymatic systems that are responsible for our
bodies’ uptake and utilization of oxygen.
When our cells don't get enough oxygen, they degenerate and die.
Lack of mobility, infections and toxins make our oxygen status worse and this worsening produces illness.
This degeneration is connected with a noticeable reduction of physical and mental powers, especially in old
age.
Lack of oxygen causes a
critical decrease of the cardiac output; less oxygen is transported through the body. For example, the oxygen
supply of 80 year-old person can go down as far as 66% of the maximum amount. Human beings can take a lot of
punishment, mentally and physically, so these frequent drops in our ability to utilize oxygen efficiently are
not going to kill anyone immediately.
But each level of oxygen
deprivation takes its toll, and if a few cells die here and there due to constant external (or internal) stress,
it begins to add up. The end result is premature aging.
So if a simple system
can be used that constantly provides the body with additional oxygen, these stress factors can
be, to a certain extent, neutralized.
Your brain and nervous system
need two things to survive: fuel and activation.
Fuel comes in the form of glucose and oxygen. You get the glucose from the food you eat BUT as you age, your
ability to utilize oxygen decreases.
We are giving you oxygen to help you heal faster. We want to get you better as fast as possible.
PLUS…….The cerebellum is in
the back part of your brain and it controls ALL of your spinal musculature as well as your balance and
coordinated movement. When the cerebellum is not firing correctly, the muscles will spasm, the vertebra lock up
and the disc will lose fluid and degenerate.
When we get the cerebellum firing better, the spinal muscles will no longer be in spasm, the vertebra will move
better and your disc will re-generate.
The cerebellum is the most
DEPENDENT area of the body when it comes to oxygen. So that is why we are giving you oxygen, to get you better
faster by allowing your cerebellum to work better!
Is oxygen
essential for brain activity?
The brain demands at least
20% of the body’s oxygen supply, when it doesn’t get this supply it can lead to issues such as sleep apnoea,
poor concentration, forgetfulness, mood swings, restlessness, depressive thoughts and low
drive.
Stay
Strong:
Fatigue has been reported by
several studies as one of the most common symptoms experienced by people worldwide.
Every breath you take
converts to energy. Human cells use nutrients from food and oxygen to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the
energy source that fuels cell function. If your cells receive too little oxygen, they produce less energy.
If your cells need more
energy, they use more oxygen. That's why your breathing rate increases when you exercise.
Stay
Alert:
Unlike muscles, your brain
cannot store energy. It needs a steady flow of nutrients and oxygen to function normally. Oxygen deficiency can
decrease your alertness, memory and judgment.
Conditions that can reduce blood oxygen
levels include:
Air
pollution
Traveling to a higher
elevation
Breathing stale air that has
less than the normal 20-21% oxygen.

Exercise
With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)
With EWOT that system is
easily available. EWOT (pronounced ee-watt) stands for Exercise With Oxygen Therapy. This method of prolonging
your life is so simple that it's hard to believe it could work, but it does.
EWOT was invented by
Manfred von Ardenne, physicist, researcher and inventor, state award winner of the USSR, national award
winner of the GDR. He had about 600 national and international patents, first already with 16 years.
Von Ardenne was one of
the pioneers of the television developing the broadband amplifier and the electron ray tube in its modern form.
At the Radio Exhibition of 1931 Ardenne presented the first worldwide television set.
Professor von Ardennes
was also the inventor of the raster electron microscope. Later in life he turned to the medicine, and developed
two classic EWOT techniques (‘Oxygen Multi-step Therapy’ and ‘Systemic Cancer Multi-Step
Therapy.’)
Von Ardenne found that
stress of any type can cause a decrease in the ability to absorb oxygen into the blood, which can result in
decreased oxygen to the tissues. EWOT can help reverse this by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood and
plasma, and also in the tissues. This increased level of tissue oxygen has several beneficial effects.
It has been
used successfully for a multitude of conditions,
including: Heart
failure
Cardiomegaly (enlarged
heart)
High blood
pressure
Cancer
Wellness and
anti-aging
Emphysema
Stress of all
types
How and Why EWOT
Works:
Exercising while
breathing oxygen, dramatically increases the amount of oxygen in the blood plasma (the portion of the blood
outside the red and white cells). The oxygen content of plasma fluid can be dramatically increased and oxygen
pushed into the body's cells without the aid of the red cells.
It's called the
Law of Mass Action . If the concentration of a
certain component in a chemical mixture is high enough, chemical combining will take place with other elements of
the mixture that ordinarily wouldn't happen.
After even 15 minutes of
EWOT, there is a dramatic ‘pinking up’ of a patient's skin. This can be seen easily by simple observation, and
illustrates that the tiny capillaries (vessels tinier than a strand of hair) are carrying extra oxygen to cells
of the body. Presumably every organ is being bathed in these extra amounts of life-sustaining
oxygen.
EWOT technique is very
simple to employ. You should wear light, comfortable clothing with EWOT. Your doctor will first determine your
level of physical fitness. If you are quite fit, you might begin by exercising on an upper body ergometer (UBE)
which is like a bicycle for the arms, or on an elliptical exerciser for 15 minutes while breathing oxygen from
an oxygen concentrator.
If you are less
conditioned, you may have to work up to using the UBE or elliptical exerciser, very often by beginning EWOT with
vibration instead. Before and after treatment we will monitor your heart rate, oxygen concentration, and blood
pressure.
For the prescribed
period of time, you simply perform your exercise, all the while breathing in 90-95% oxygen from an oxygen
concentrator.
After EWOT, you’ll find
yourself invigorated, renewed, and clear-headed. EWOT can be used therapeutically via multiple sessions over a
short period of time for acute therapy, or employed periodically over a longer period of time to treat chronic
stress, injury or illness.
Basically, the body's ability
to transfer oxygen from the lungs to the cells is perhaps the most significant factor in whether you live a
healthy life or not. This transfer mechanism becomes damaged with age, and then susceptibility to illness
increases. However, EWOT aids the body in repairing this vital mechanism.
The scientific aspect of EWOT
is a little complex, but here is a basic explanation. Oxygen comprises 20% of the atmosphere. Atmospheric
pressure is 760 mm and thus the partial pressure of oxygen entering the body's lungs is about 150 mm. However,
oxygen in the lungs is diluted considerably with carbon dioxide.
As the environment becomes
increasingly polluted, the oxygen we intake is more and more diluted by carbon dioxide leaving the body and in
the atmosphere. After oxygen is diluted, its pressure is reduced to 100-110 mm. This pressure drives the oxygen
from the lungs into the blood and via the arteries to the capillaries in the extremities of the body. The
capillaries then release some of the oxygen to support individual cells.
Ideally, the pressure of the
oxygen in the arteries will almost equal the pressure in the lungs. However, aging causes the arterial pressure
to decrease to approximately 70 mm as opposed to 95 mm.
In order for the oxygen to
reach the cells from the capillaries, it must dissolve into the water of the body. Unlike carbon dioxide,
though, oxygen does not dissolve easily into liquid. The significance is this: Oxygen's solubility is heavily dependent on the pressure driving
it.
Dr. Rowen of Second Opinion explains Oxygen is extracted in the
capillaries and when the blood comes out the venous end of he capillary, the average pressure of oxygen in the
veins is about 40 mm early in life and drops to 35 mm by age 70. The difference in the pressure of oxygen
between the arterial and venous sides reflects how well the oxygen is delivered and consumed.
In your 30s, the amount of
oxygen released to the cells is significantly higher than in your 70s: a 30 year-old will release 55
mm (95-40) while a 70 year-old will release 35 mm (70-35).
That's a huge drop in the
amount of pressure of oxygen your cells receive.
The problem is that when you
age, the oxygen pressure falls. Thus, while the volume of oxygen may stay the same and it may appear you are
getting enough, your may be oxygen deficient because there isn't enough pressure to make use of the volume of
oxygen.
The breakthrough of EWOT is
that it raises the arterial pressure to youthful levels; it only involves breathing high levels of oxygen while
exercising. Exercise increases the circulation, creating a greater pressure to drive oxygen into the
capillaries.
The increase in pressure
facilitates the repair of the transfer mechanism. EWOT is effective for every conceivable condition because it
improves the delivery of the most essential substance in tissue life and repair.

"All
body functions are breathing related. Proper oxygen delivery to all parts of your body is crucial to health and
well-being. Aerobic exercise increases the body’s available oxygen and therefore promotes wellness. Delivering
oxygen to the body is the responsibility of the respiratory system. Breathing is the process by which air enters
the bloodstream, via the lungs. Thus, proper breathing, and correcting common breathing disorders, is the
ultimate form of aerobics."

Medical Thoughts on
Oxygen
"Extra oxygen enables you to
recover more quickly from exertion. It allows someone to train and then exercise again." – Dr. John Brewer, head of sports science at
Lilleshall Human Performance Centre: Health and Fitness
1999.
"Oxygen can clear your head,
help eliminate toxins, and give you a mind high" – Andy Davison exercise physiologist Cosmopolitan
2000.
"If you use oxygen for 20
minutes, muscles become loosened; headaches and stress seem to disappear. There is a renewed energy and a
feeling of relaxation. I am confident oxygen works." – Dr. Richard de Andrea Sunday
Herald.
"Increases alertness,
improves the body’s ability to burn fat and enhances physical performance." – Howard Robbins D.P.M, for The Journal.
"Dr. Parris Kidd stated that
'oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system; i.e. Resistance to disease,
bacteria and viruses.' Dr. Stephen Levine stated that 'we can look at oxygen deficiency as the single greatest
cause of disease.' thus the development of a shortage of oxygen in the blood could very well be the starting
point for the loss of the immune system and the beginning of feared health problems such as Cancer, Leukemia,
AIDS, Candida, seizures, and nerve deterioration."
B. Goulet - The Magic of Aerobic Oxygen - Focus on
Nutrition.
"In all serious disease
states we find a concomitant low oxygen state...low oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator for
disease... Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease."
Dr. Stephen Levine, renowned molecular biologist author, Oxygen
Deficiency: A concomitant to all degenerative illness.
"I have ME and Fibromyalgia
and have suffered with this debilitating condition for more than twelve years. I saw an oxygen bar at a health
event and needed to sit down and by chance tried the oxygen. After this for four days I felt so active, had no
pain, no fatigue, and no exhaustion and even managed to clean my house out. I made frequent trips in my car to
the tip and charity shop of which I am normally unable do. I even went out for a meal and went shopping which
I’ve never been able to do."
