ACHIEVE YOUR WELLNESS GOALS WITH EWOT

The first historical application of oxygen therapy was by Joseph Priestley, an English Scientist, in 1775 and this was using the hyperbaric medicine approach. 

The word hyperbaric came from the Greek words hyper meaning “over or above” and “baro” meaning “weight”. Therefore hyperbaric means above the weight, or simply, above the normal weight of the atmosphere. 

HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is a procedure where 100% of oxygen concentration is used and introduced into the lungs in order to hyper-oxygenate the blood for proper circulation and sufficient perfusion. In order to make the therapy effective, the procedure is performed at a level higher than the atmospheric pressure, often using a chamber to achieve this pressure.

Hyperbaric medicine was prohibited soon after it was discovered due to a belief that it had some toxic effects on the central nervous system and respiratory system. Hyperbaric medicine had not been used again until Orval J Cunningham, professor of anesthesia at the University of Kansas, observed the correlation between altitude in the recovery of his patients to circulatory disorders. Most importantly, he discovered that patients recovered faster when at sea level.

From this discovery, Cunningham started to consider the use of hyperbaric air in treating his patients. He started to test the effectiveness of hyperbaric air when he treated his patients who were suffering from the Spanish flu in 1918. Although the treatment was successful it was disapproved by the American Medical Association because the evidence presented was believed to be insufficient and unacceptable.

Despite their disapproval from the AMA, Behnke and Shaw attempted to use hyperbaric medicine again to treat their patients with decompression sickness in 1937. The treatment was once again successful and it was the reason why Churchill-Davidson also used hyperbaric oxygen to enhance the radio sensitivity of tumors in 1955.

Hyperbaric medicine became more popular when Ite Borema used it in cardiac surgery in 1956. The idea of using HBOT in treating ischemic disorders began when Willem Hendrik Brummelkamp used it for targeting gangrene in 1961.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research on Oxygen therapy has since moved beyond just using Hyperbaric Chambers and explores using exercise as a way to use the body’s pump (the heart) to push Oxygen and the equally important Carbon Dioxide round the body rather than using the pressure from a chamber.

Exercising with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) in 15 minutes one can open the cells allowing them to detoxify as they gulp down higher levels of oxygen which helps many people pull out of chronic situations where they've not been able to do so before.

In the first 15 minute session or let's say first four sessions the inflammation in the capillaries will be snubbed and a layer of toxins will be cleared. Oxygen will rush into the cells bringing the energy in the physiological processes necessary to heal.

EWOT was developed in the late 1960s by Professor Manfred von Ardenne (a student of Dr. Otto Warburg, best known for pioneering research on the connection between lack of oxygen and cancer) it combines oxygen therapy, drugs that facilitate intracellular oxygen turnover and physical exercise adapt to individual performance levels. This unique therapy has a diversified into more than 20 different treatment variants and is now practiced in several hundred settings throughout Europe. 

Ardenne put his finger on how inflammation interferes with oxygen transfer to cells. The core of Dr. von Ardenne’s therapeutic practice is  the breathing of pure oxygen while exercising. This allows additional oxygen to be absorbed by your red blood cell blood plasma and tissue fluids.

The body knows exactly how much oxygen it can take when exercising so dosage actually becomes a non-issue. A good concentrator can deliver about 90% oxygen at 10 litres per minute this is the bare minimum for EWOT.
