Foundations Wellness is now in full swing with offering Molecular Hydrogen sessions in our office. There are so many conditions that can benefit from molecular hydrogen. RA, Lyme disease, autoimmune and mysterious inflammatory conditions are among them.
Today I wanted to share a study that looks at the effects of High dose hydrogen water intake on Rheumatoid Arthritis. Drinking high dose hydrogen water is one way to take in the molecular hydrogen but there are other ways too.
Among the results of the study were noticeable to remarkable improvements and even full remission in 4 of the participants. The link to the study is provided below.
If you have RA, late stage Lyme Disease or another autoimmune disease, you have an excess of inflammation and oxidative stress in your body. This ongoing creation of oxidative stress can play into many symptoms like fatigue, pain, insomnia, brain fog, etc. We are learning that oxidative stress is at the heart of most diseases. Taking in safe and effective molecular hydrogen whether in water or in gas form through a nasal cannula can neutralize inflammatory free radicals and help to reduce inflammation and symptoms.
So what is oxidative stress? Your body is always fighting oxidation stress. Free radicals, actually made by your own body lead to oxidation stress, which damages cells and also leads to cell death. Here is how it happens- When your body uses oxygen, it creates free radical molecules as a by-product, and the damage caused by those molecules is called oxidative stress. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules which contain an unpaired electron. Because electrons like to be in pairs, free radicals attempt to steal electrons from healthy cells. This interaction leads to damage and cell death. This stealing of electrons by these free radicals goes on and on in someone who is suffering with chronic symptoms.
Your own metabolism isn’t the only thing that creates these damaging free radicals. You can also be exposed to them from various environmental sources such as EMF radiation, drugs, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and chemicals of all sorts in the products we use every day. In my office I see clients every day who are not able to detox these chemicals well. For them and for anyone with chronic debilitating illness, they have an excess of free radical damage and cell death which give way to a seeming endless cycle of symptoms. Pain, inflammation, illness, fatigue neurological symptoms, severe sensitivities and more are included.
For those who are no so sick, there are many other things that cause the production of free radicals. Even healthy activities like exercise can lead to oxidation stress.
However, studies show molecular hydrogen (H2) can help!
One study, published in Molecular Medicine Reports, dives deep into molecular hydrogen’s effects on oxidation stress, as well as DNA and mitochondrial function.
First, let’s talk a bit more about oxidation stress. Molecular hydrogen is a powerful antioxidant that is also extremely intuitive. It searches for free radicals in order to neutralize them. How does it do this?
First, H2 donates one of its hydrogen atoms to the oxygen-containing (O2) free radical. This leads to the formula for H2O. Thus, molecular hydrogen neutralizes free radicals by turning them into harmless water.
An exciting thing that I learned listening to Molecular Hydrogen Institute founder Tyler LeBaron was that molecular hydrogen has been found to not neutralize the free radicals that we need – only the damaging free radicals like Hydroxyl and peroxynitrite that can occur as a result of EMF exposure.
Free radicals also wreak havoc on mitochondria, which are the energy producing powerhouses inside the cell that convert nutrients into energy. Because hydrogen is so small (it is the smallest molecule) H2 can easily enter the cell and benefit the mitochondria. Anyone dealing with the horrors of late stage lyme disease, autoimmune and mystery illness needs help with their mitochondria.
Results from the study published in Molecular Medicine Reports confirm that molecular hydrogen has powerful effects on oxidation stress, as well as DNA and the mitochondria.
Using hydrogen-enriched saline, researchers found the molecular hydrogen significantly decreased the effects of DNA oxidation. Furthermore, researchers concluded that molecular hydrogen has great potential when it comes to helping issues caused by oxidation stress and diseases, due to its ability to neutralize free radicals, and its ability to enter the cell, benefiting mitochondria, cell signaling and gene expression. This is good news for those who are suffering with lyme disease, genetic inability to detox, mold illness, autoimmune and mystery illnesses.
