Hydrogen Gas in Rheumatoid Arthritis
The hydroxyl free radical is 100% responsible for the painful inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis attack. Although our body has an antioxidant defense system, it has no natural defense against the most harmful “hydroxyl” free radical. That is why doctors often prescribe antioxidants in the pursuit to slow down the progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, those prescribed antioxidants show only limited effectiveness. Often, they are not effective at all or worse, they produce negative side effects and must be stopped. This is because they also attack beneficial free radicals that our body needs for optimal body function. So, the problem with conventional antioxidants is that they cannot differentiate good from bad free radicals and additionally, that the molecules they are made of are too big and unable to enter the cells and sub compartments of the cells where the harmful hydroxyl radical is produced and doing the damage.What is Hydrogen Gas (H2) and the Science behind it?
Hydrogen is a natural, colorless, odorless, MEDICAL gas. The potent antioxidant potential was discovered by the Japanese Professor, Dr Shigeo Otha (PHD) and published in the most prestigious journals “NATURE MEDICINE” and “SCIENCE”. This has gained the attention from academic researchers, medical doctors, and physicians around the world. Since the discovery by Dr Otha, more than 1600 researchers have teamed up globally in the biomedical research of hydrogen. These scientific publications have also conclusively demonstrated that hydrogen-gas provides therapeutic potential in the prevention and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Scientific studies demonstrated that daily consumption of hydrogen rich water (water infused with hydrogen gas) for four weeks improved Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms in patients. Additionally, in early-stage cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis the studies found that the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis disappeared completely. The studies also showed that the results lasted as long as 4 weeks even after the consumption was stopped entirely which indicated that hydrogen gas was able to activate the patient’s own antioxidant defence system.
The hydrogen gas molecule is the smallest molecule and most potent antioxidant in the universe. It can rapidly penetrate each cell in the body and reach subcellular compartments, being the source of the harmful free radical production. It is there where hydrogen gas can exert its therapeutic effects of neutralizing those harmful free radicals. Other antioxidants molecules are simply too large to penetrate the subcellular compartments. Additionally, hydrogen gas is the only antioxidant that can differentiate between harmful and beneficial free radicals. Hydrogen gas is SELECTIVELY attracted to the harmful hydroxyl free radical. Eliminating beneficial free radicals promotes adverse health/side effects. This is experienced when taking an overdose of vitamin C as an example. Hydrogen gas simply neutralizes harmful free radicals by converting them into pure water, no toxic by-product and unpleasant side-effects whatsoever. For that reason, scientists now refer hydrogen gas as a novel medical gas.Hydrogen Gas for Health
So far, over 1000 high quality scientific studies have demonstrated that hydrogen-gas provides therapeutic efficacy for the prevention and treatment of more than 170 human and animal disease models including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Disease and more.
Hydrogen gas is beneficial for every organ in the human body.
The clinical and pre-clinical studies demonstrate that hydrogen-gas is providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-diabetes, anti-allergy, anti-obesity and anti-apoptosis properties.
Hydrogen gas provides the therapeutic benefits via modulating signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, and gene expressions. Hydrogen-gas reduces oxidative stress and improves redox homeostasis partly mediated via the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.
Is Hydrogen Gas Safe?
Absolutely. The FDA and the clinical papers validate that hydrogen-gas is 100% safe, has no side-effects whatsoever, can never be overdosed and is even safe and beneficial for pregnant woman and babies. Hydrogen-gas is NOT a foreign substance, but it is natural to the human body. During our best years, our gut bacteria is able to produce litres of hydrogen-gas after a fibre rich meal. However, as we get older, this process slows down. This is linked to the aging process and the development of over 90% of all diseases. Hydrogen-gas will provide the body with the important SELECTIVE antioxidants to eliminate HARMFUL FREE RADICALS which are responsible for the aging process and disease development. The Japanese government has recently approved hydrogen-gas inhalation as an advanced medicine… Reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23031079 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5731988/
