The source of life 

A large number of studies have demonstrated that factors like age, illness, the environment, stress, smoking and drugs etc. Induce metabolic changes. In many cases the uptake of oxygen is reduced and diseases can develop, including cancer. 

Even at the age of 80 or 90 years, it is not too late to regenerate the body. The most important goal is, to increase the cell capacity to absorb oxygen as well as to increase circulation. 

Our body utilises only a small part of the oxygen absorbed in our lungs. This situation of chronic oxygen deprivation can significantly reduce our life expectancy. 

There are conditions of increased proton levels in our atmosphere, for example in industrialised areas or in areas of poor ventilation or where people smoke. In such cases there is an increased risk of embolic events, heart attacks or the formation of cancer cells. 

Oxygen deprivation causes cellular malfunctioning, especially in haemopoetic organs and spinal cord. This leads to increased clotting of the blood and a higher risk of embolic events. 

Cellular defence is reduced and toxic agents have an "easier task". 

In summary, the absence of negative oxygen ions has the following effects: the body loses its defence potential, bone changes occur, connective tissue elasticity is reduced, oxygen absorption from our lungs is decreased and the risk of embolic events increased. All those processes result in premature ageing. 
 
Oxygen Therapy 

In 1977 Prof. Dr. Manfred Ardenne discovered the Gradual Negative Ionised Oxygen Therapy (OXI - Ionotherapy). The most surprising fact was the long lasting effect of oxygen. An increase in concentration could be demonstrated over months, even years. 

The understanding of capillary organisation and its mechanisms formed the basis for Gradual Oxygen Therapy. 

Indications: 

1- Normalisation of oxygen absorption in cases of functional lung diseases. 
2- Early stages of cataract, glaucoma, decrease of visual acuity or field. 
3- Angina, cardiac arrhythmia's, prophylaxis and rehabilitation after myocardial infarct. 
4- Oedema, peripheral vascular disease, especially of the lower extremities. 
5- Stage 2 diabetes. 
6- Menier's disease. 
7- Hypertension. 
8- Rehabilitation treatment. 
9- General increase of physical fitness. 
10- Stimulation of immune defence, especially after completed courses of cancer treatment. 

Surprising successes can be seen under the following conditions: memory loss, drug side effects, Parkinson's disease, migraine, headaches, rheumatic diseases, delayed wound healing. 

The gradual oxygen therapy includes the following three steps: 

a) Daily administration of vitamin C orally (drink) 
b) Inhalation of oxygen via mask for 20 min. daily at a rate of 3-5 l/min. and 5 million negative ion/ml 
c) The patient maintains physical activity to ensure optimal perfusion of the cardio-vascular system. 20 min. of cycling, knee bending... Older or handicapped patients have the opportunity to conduct alternative exercises.
