Hydrogen inhalation therapy

Two types of reactive oxygen

Reactive oxygen is oxygen that has a very strong ability to oxidize other substances.

There are two types of reactive oxygen species. The first type is good reactive oxygen species (superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide) that protect our bodies from bacteria and viruses and dilate blood vessels to keep blood pressure from rising. The second type is bad reactive oxygen species (hydroxyl radicals) that cause many diseases and aging by damaging cells and genes. Bad reactive oxygen species can cause aging as well as a variety of other disorders, symptoms, and diseases.

● Major diseases involving reactive oxygen species

  • arteriosclerosis

  • diabetes

  • Carcinogenesis

  • Allergies, rheumatic diseases, immunodeficiency, collagen diseases, etc.

  • Skin: Age spots, wrinkles

  • Neurological disorders: Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, etc.

  • Eye diseases: diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, etc.

  • Respiratory: bronchial asthma, airway disorders caused by smoking, etc.

  • Cardiovascular: ischemic arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, hypertension

  • Digestive system: acute gastric mucosal damage, gastric ulcer, colitis, pancreatitis, fatty liver, etc.

  • Kidneys: renal failure, uremia, etc.

What is hydrogen inhalation therapy?

Hydrogen inhalation therapy can selectively remove only the bad active oxygen.

Hydrogen is the lightest substance of all; it is colorless, transparent, tasteless, and odorless, and because it is an extremely small molecule, it can reach the brain and inside cells. When hydrogen is taken into the body, it becomes ions and acts on mitochondria, activating cells and increasing antioxidant and immune power. At the same time, it selectively binds to only harmful active oxygen, turning it into water and eliminating it.

The effects of hydrogen inhalation therapy on cancer

Our hospital has also introduced hydrogen inhalation therapy as a medical treatment to prevent cancer, suppress its progression, and reduce side effects during treatment.

Suppression of cancer occurrence and progression

● Effect of selective removal of hydroxyl radicals

● Anti-cancer effect due to immune checkpoint inhibition

Reducing the side effects of cancer treatment

● Reduction of side effects of anticancer drugs: Improvement of renal dysfunction caused by cisplatin nephrotoxicity

● Reduction of side effects of radiation therapy: Effectiveness of removing active oxygen generated by radiation

Our hospital's hydrogen inhaler

Using a tube (cannula), hydrogen is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and directly enters the capillaries, where it is transported throughout the body, allowing for more efficient and effective intake of high concentrations of hydrogen into the body.
