It is important to understand how oxygen reaches your tissues, particularly the mitochondria. This gets a little technical, but it will help you understand why both EWOT and HBOT effectively fight the aging process and enhance healing. How does oxygen get from the air into your body? Of course, the Lungs are the primary organ that handles this process.
Atmospheric air pressure at sea level is 760 mm of mercury. Since oxygen comprises approximately 20 percent of the atmosphere, the pressure component of oxygen, called partial pressure, is 20 percent of 760, or about 150 mm. The air coming into the lungs, therefore, contains a pressure of O2 at 150 mm. However, in the lungs, the oxygen is diluted considerably with carbon dioxide, leaving the body. Thus, in the air sacs of the lungs (alveoli), the pressure of oxygen is 150 mm minus the partial pressure of CO2 (which is 40) for a net O2 pressure in the air sacs of about 100 to 110 mm. With me so far?
This 100 to 110 mmHg is the amount of pressure that drives the oxygen from the lungs into the blood. The oxygen transferred to the blood takes two primary forms: most is bound to hemoglobin in the RBCs; the rest is simply dissolved in the liquid component. Blood transports oxygen by way of the arteries to the extremities, where it is fed to the capillaries. The capillaries release some of the oxygen to support each cell along its pathway. In an ideal situation, the pressure of oxygen in the arteries will almost match the pressure in the alveoli. When we’re young, this is the case, with the arterial pressure running around 95 mm. However, as we age, the arterial pressure declines, with the average 70-year-old having an arterial pressure of only about 70 mmHg.
The reason this is significant is that when the blood carries the oxygen to the capillaries, the oxygen must dissolve in the waters of the body to reach the O2-thirsty cells beyond the capillary membrane. Unlike carbon dioxide, Oxygen is much harder to dissolve in liquids, and its solubility is heavily dependent on the pressure driving it. Oxygen is extracted in the capillaries, and when the blood comes out of the venous end of the capillary, the average pressure of oxygen in the veins is about 40 mmHg early in life and drops to about 35 mmHg by age 70. The difference in the pressure of oxygen between the arterial and venous sides reflects how well the oxygen is delivered and consumed.
In your 30s, the amount of oxygen released to the cells is significantly higher than in your 70s. If you do the math, a 30-year-old will release 55 mm of pressure (95 minus 40 equals 55), while a 70-year-old will release only 35 mm of pressure (70 minus 35 equals 35). That’s a huge drop (55 vs. 35) in the amount of pressure of oxygen your cells are receiving.
This is extremely important, as the most common complaint I’ve heard about EWOT is from patients who have their blood tested by a conventional doctor who measures the amount of oxygen in the blood. When it comes back to normal, people think they don’t need enhanced oxygen therapies. What the doctor is missing is how well the oxygen is transferred to the cells.
When the oxygen pressure falls as you age, the volume of oxygen may stay the same, but you may be oxygen-deficient because there’s not enough pressure to push the volume to a usable state. When your doctor tells you there’s plenty of oxygen in your blood, he’s correct. The blood hemoglobin is saturated with oxygen. The problem is that there’s not enough oxygen getting into your cells! So you see, the body’s ability to transfer oxygen to the cells becomes damaged as we age.
This transfer of oxygen from the blood to the cells is perhaps the most significant underlying factor in whether you live a healthy life or not! The more damaged the transfer mechanism becomes, the more likely you are to become ill. This is why you are more susceptible to illness as you age!
The breakthrough with EWOT is that it actually raises the arterial pressure back to youthful levels. And what’s just as important is that the effect is long lasting!
Furthermore, the technique lowers the oxygen in your veins at the same time, which indicates a
dramatic increase in the release and consumption of oxygen because of treatment. The larger the difference between the pressure of oxygen in the arteries and veins simply indicates greater oxygen release and consumption by the cells.
Please consider doing a course of enhanced oxygen therapies (EWOT &/or HBOT) to enhance your overall health and possibly help you to both overcome any health challenges and achieve your health, performance, and appearance goals.
We offer in-office EWOT and HBOT, as well as help you obtain, set up, and use EWOT or HBOT at home. Most people reading or hearing this won’t be in our immediate area. For this reason, we’ve spent a lot of time and effort finding affordable EWOT and HBOT systems that can be purchased and set up at home.
