Hydrogen Inhalation & Hydrogen Water Medicine
How hydrogen therapy works
More than 38 different diseases, physiological states and clinical tests have been published in leading medical/biological journals since the publication of the first H2 paper in 2007, and several groups conducted clinical examinations.
​
Additionally, H2 shows anti-oxidative effects along with various anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.
Hydrogen regulates various gene expressions and protein-phosphorylations, though the molecular mechanisms underlying the marked effects of very small amounts of hydrogen remain elusive.
​
There are a variety of methods available to administer hydrogen, the most common being drinking Hydrogen infused water, and inhaling a mixture of hydrogen-oxygen gas. Athletes using Hydrogen Therapy have made it very popular in the past decade. There are common Hydrogen Therapy bars in Japan and China for drinking hydrogen water and breathing hydrogen by inhalation.
​
Water acts as a hydrogen carrier, and when ingested, an increase in H2 concentration is shown within five to fifteen minutes.
​
Due to its small size, molecular hydrogen can easily penetrate and diffuse through the cell membrane.
The initial peak or spike of hydrogen, with its activating effects on the cells, may last only an hour, but the protective effects of hydrogen continue for an extended time. Other methods of hydrogen are available, depending on the intent and duration of administration.
​
Methods of increasing hydrogen in the body include:
-
Drinking hydrogen dissolved in water
-
Inhalation of hydrogen at low concentrations (1-4%)
-
Bathing in hydrogen water
-
Hyperbaric hydrogen chambers
-
Intravenous injection of hydrogen-rich saline
-
Increasing hydrogen production by intestinal bacteria. Turmeric, for example, has been shown to increase hydrogen production by intestinal bacteria.
The average body is 62% hydrogen, 24% oxygen, 12% carbon and 2% everything else (by volume).
Hydrogen is involved, directly or indirectly in every chemical process in the body.
So hydrogen is our most important MACRO-NUTRIENT, which has been ignored until now. Hydrogen is a FOOD!
The well touted vitamins and minerals are all micro-nutrients compared to hydrogen.
We cannot just breathe in hydrogen like oxygen, because hydrogen does not exist ‘free’ in nature.
We normally get our hydrogen from our food. Most of our ‘foods’ foods contain ‘hydro-carbons’ (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon).
Our digestion system prepares our food (acids, enzymes, etc.) and then specialized bacteria in the Colon complete the process of ‘digestion’ releasing the hydrogen… Which then goes directly into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestines.
Betcha didn’t know you ‘breathe’ in your guts!
​
By using antibiotics, artificial sweeteners and other chemicals in our food, we’ve decimated our hydrogen-producing bacteria. So, most people are NOT getting enough hydrogen to stay healthy.
Without sufficient hydrogen we become ’starved’ even if we eat plenty of food. De-hydrated in the most basic sense.
​
Our bodies are AMAZING organic machines. We have built in ‘safety mechanisms’ to preserve life. Like how the blood flow is shut off to the extremities to preserve core temperature when the body is threatened with hyopthermia.
The hydrogen starvation causes the body to shut off extraneous (not immediately life threatening) functions in order to preserve life, starting with the regeneration system (so we scar and age) and then features of the immune system (so we get sick and auto-immune disease). Then start to shut down organs (and we die)…
Thus, by not taking care of our guts properly, eating so many ‘chemicals’ and the modern miracle of antibiotics, we have doomed ourselves to slow and painful aging and death.
​
But there is now hope for healthful joyous living… Hydrogen supplementation… Particularly if you also add ExW.
If provided enough hydrogen on a daily basis, most bodies will repair their organs, reactivate their immune systems and regeneration systems. This does take TIME, as the cells regenerate, each new generation healthier as they get enough hydrogen.
​
Science is proving that virtually all ailments are caused by or exacerbated by…Lack of Hydrogen! People are ‘de-hydrated’ in the most basic sense of the word.
​
Science is also showing a 30% to 50% healthful life extension with hydrogen supplementation.

Prof. Masaru Suzuki, Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine at Keio University Hospital, writes, “A premixed gas composed of 96% N2 and 4% H2 from a cylinder is mixed with O2 from ventilators prior to patient inhalation. Inserting more than 4% H2 directly into O2 is dangerous on account of the explosion threshold, so at this stage we are using just 2% of H2.”
Suzuki explained, “Medication dissolves in the blood and is carried throughout the body and there is the possibility that H2 diffuses without relying on blood flow, meaning it can easily pass through the blood brain barrier and even into the brain cells themselves. Additionally, because the heart and lungs are close to each other, when inhaled, H2 has the potential to reach the heart via diffusion, which can then be carried throughout the body. Under the most severe conditions this treatment is effective. I think the potential for H2 in medical uses will spread endlessly.”
