Following recent advancements in the field of hydrogen therapy, scientists and medical professionals are racing to explore the potential applications for the most recently developed technology.
Following what could be considered a renaissance for hydrogen therapy in 2021, which saw a range of papers published on its potential applications in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, research in the field has simmered down - somewhat. However, new findings in the field of cancer research suggest that perhaps the fledgling treatment has more to offer yet.
At the time of writing, a new study was published in the last 24 hours suggesting that the therapy technique could have massive implications in treating the negative bodily response to chemotherapy. While those findings are finalized, however, a team of Switzerland-based hydrogen therapy experts are exploring how the previous 3 years of research could bring new life to the home-use industry, and what we might see from that industry in the near future.
As the team - known as Dr. Hydrogen - explains, the therapies work on a molecular level, taking advantage of the basic atomic structure of hydrogen to “cleanse” toxins from within cells. Hydrogen is capable of binding to free radicals, the highly reactive and highly destructive molecules that are naturally released by the body when it is exposed to harmful stimuli such as UV radiation.
These free radicals can be neutralized at an atomic level when they come in contact with an inert, unbonded hydrogen atom. Inhaling hydrogen can introduce these unbonded atoms directly into the bloodstream, where they will then be able to flow freely through the body and destroy these free radicals, converting them back into stable, harmless molecules.
Dr. Hydrogen has already seen success in the treatment of a variety of conditions, from everyday post-workout fatigue to chronic conditions. They offer a range of treatment options and accessories intended to make the experience of receiving these therapies pleasant and unobtrusive.
Their catalog includes multiple home-use hydrogen diffusers, water infusers, and isolation sleeves to target specific areas of the body during therapy sessions. While primarily intended for use by athletes, their team has expressed excitement at the prospect of medical patients in Switzerland and beyond having access to this technology while remaining in the comfort of their own homes.
Speaking on the expanded applications of their therapies, a spokesperson stated, “In addition to promoting recovery, hydrogen therapy can also improve athletic endurance. By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in muscles, H2 can delay fatigue and increase energy production at the cellular level.”
Naturally, the devices mentioned above are part of the initial wave of development. As new findings emerge, clinical trials are set to determine how best to deploy hydrogen therapy both at home and in a medical context.
Dr. Hydrogen will continue to update their catalog to make these newly developed technologies available across Switzerland. Those interested in any of these therapies can read more about the most recent scientific findings and products at the Dr. Hydrogen Online Shop.
