Oxygen Therapy
Indications:

• poor blood supply in certain regions
• reduced powers through aging
• sudden deafness
• tinnitus
• Angina pectoris (reduced blood flow in the coronary arteries)
• bronchial asthma
• cardiovascular problems
• headaches, migraine
• supportive treatment during aftercare
• rheumatism
• stress symptoms
• after stroke or heart attack
• supportive treatment for cancer or metastases

Through the oxygen therapy it is not only possible, to treat many illnesses – this method is also very effective for prevention, since oxygen strengthens the natural regenerative potential of our body. No life without oxygen. Extending life time requires a improvement of the energy status; aspects which are being applied in modern sports medicine and intensive care units already. By raising the body‘s energy level through oxygen, it gets easier to solve a crisis and consequently prevents the beginning of further illnesses.

Oxygen means Life

AAnd life is energy or better: an optimum use of energy. Modern science today begins to include the idea of energy in the general medical thinking and acting. Energy is an important measure describing physical processes and conditions, even explaining the process of aging. Until now this measure has predominantly been used in sports medicine. Only recently have we read in research papers that illness is a consequence of the lack of energy. We can quite easily prove this: a person must operate an ergometer at the highest physical performance for 2 minutes whereby we can measure his energy status in watt. In the case of a person under physical or mental stress the result is generally worse. The energy data of a trained young person are mostly better than those of a sick or old one. This performance shows us to which extent the health of a patient is weakened. If we raise the oxygen percentage of breath we can achieve an improvement in efficiency. Besides other medical treatments raising the oxygen percentage of breath can help a sick person to recover.

Preventing Sicknesses

Everybody knows that walking in fresh air does you good. It promotes the capacity of thinking and improves efficiency. A deep breath raises the status of energy within a short time. Even after physical exercises you feel more active and fresh although a lot of energy has been used up. These facts have largely been ignored by scientists because they have been focusing on diagnosing and treating manifest illnesses. Conservative medicine has been putting less stress on prevention than on healing manifest damages. We follow a different path with our oxygen therapy. It doesn't only build up the body and influence illnesses favorably, first and foremost it serves prevention for oxygen strengthens the natural healing powers. Let's look at it from another paint of view: there is no life without oxygen. Improving the energy status means prolongation of life. This knowledge is used in intensive and sports medicine every day. Energy crises can be avoided if the level of energy in an organism is raised with the help of oxygen; as a consequence the development of illnesses can be prevented.

The History

Prof. Dr. Otto Warburg who was awarded the Nobel Prize twice carried out decisive research on oxygen. In 1934 he met the physicist Prof. Dr. h.c. mult. Manfred Von Ardenne. The two cooperated for years in their research on oxygen in-take and its consequences for healthy and sick organisms. Since the beginning of the 70s Manfred von Ardenne's oxygen therapy has predominantly been used. It is effective with a lot of illnesses the origins of which are a lack of oxygen. This therapy helps us to treat illnesses as we follow the principle of causality. Since then we do no longer speculate on the prevention of illnesses and we needn't rely on improven knowledge any more; the effect of life giving oxygen has been proved.

Lack of mobility, infections and toxins make the oxygen status worse, says Prof. von Ardenne; this worsening may produce and illnesses.This development connected with a noticeable reduction of physical and mental powers, especially in old age. Lack of oxygen causes a critical decrease of the cardiac output; less oxygen in transported in the organism. The oxygen supply of 80 year old persons can go down as far as 66 p.c. of the maximum amount.

This decrease is accompanied by a latent or manifest worsening of the physical condition, because the immune defense gets worse and an unstable circulatory system increases the dangers of serious circulatory disturbances. Which illnesses are the first to be caused by lack of oxygen depends on the genetic trouble spots of the organism. The oxygen – multiphase – therapy can control and delay this critical development, says Prof. Von Ardenne; furthermore it strongly shortens the phase of rehabilitation after sicknesses and operations.

The Efficiency Principle of our Therapy

Applying the oxygen – multiphase – therapy according to Prof. Ardenne we offer the body oxygen via the normal respiratory system.This therapy brings about positive changes in the whole organism even after the time of application for 2 hours the patients inhale 3 litres of oxygen per minute, so the blood is sufficiently saturated with oxygen. This treatment is carried through on a daily basis.

Elderly patients are recommended to take additional immunomodulators such as vitamins and/or to accept the thymus therapy.

This conception is based on the interrelation of cellular defense against cancer and the amount of oxygen in the human organism. We apply this combination also in the case of regeneration treatments.

What effects can be expected ?

• improvement of the circulatory system
• shortening of the recovery phase after stress
• activation of the cerebral functions (memory, reaction, concentration)
• reduction of stress
• improvement of the immune defense by stimulating the immune system
• possible increase of life expectancy in good health
• shortening of stay in hospital
• prevention of cancer by raising the energy level and decreasing cellular hyperacielity
• follow up treatment of cancer and prevention of a recidivation
• support of the liver function
• improving the effects of medicament's and decreasing their side-effects
• improving wound-healing

The Therapy

As a rule the oxygen therapy requires a two-to-three week treatment at our hospital. We offer in -or out- patient treatment. At the beginning of the therapy our doctors intensively interview the patients. After that we use our holistic method of diagnosis. Then we make up a therapy plan together with the patients. If necessary we make changes during the stay at our hospital so that the treatment can always be adapted to the situation.
