A look at hydrogen

Some 6 years ago I met Jan Beute and he was very persuasive about how useful hydrogen can be in treatment of cancer. See my post then: https://myunexpectedguide.blogspot.com/2019/01/meeting-jan-beute-hydrogen-auto.html

Chris Woollams has just done a useful post on CancerActive about hydrogen. He writes: "Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a promising addition in cancer treatment, having the capability to induce anti-proliferative, anti-oxidative, pro-apoptotic and anti-tumoural effects; it also reduces the side-effects of conventional cancer treatment."

Six years ago I purshased a low cost prototype hydrogen machine that allowed me to inhale hydrogen and make hydrogen water. Sadly this prototype had a small flaw and so I got my money back. There are now many machines on the market although sadly not at the price I purchased for inhalation. There are however many reasonably priced bottles that produce hydrogen water.

Chris writes: "Drinking Hydrogen water does not find hydrogen detected in the blood stream, whereas inhaling it results in it remaining in the blood stream for over 2 hours. 100 times more hydrogen can be absorbed by inhalation." 

So are the water bottles worth it? Well I think there is a case for them to support health and I have now been using a bottle for the last five months. At the bottom of this blog there are some of the studies showing benefits but it does seem inhalation is the way to go if you can afford!

How did I decide which one? Well Abbey Mitchell from the Facebook Healing Cancer Study Support has done the research and I trust her. The Hydrogen Health Water Bottle is designed (in Australia) and will infuse your water with a very high amount of molecular hydrogen - it is portable and rechargeable.

How much each day is considered therapeutic? These leading-edge 550ml bottles, which creates much smaller hydrogen bubbles, to produce a super high 5.5 mg/L, a concentration above and beyond the average 550ml bottle's 1.6mg/L.

How to reach the dose that researchers are currently calling the therapeutic dose range? 1.5-2 L, of 1.6 mg/L concentration per day is considered therapeutic. This bottle provides a much higher concentration of 5.5 mg/L, so you only need to drink between 440 mL to 580 mL each day of the HRW it produces rather than 1-2L.

Where to buy? Here's the link to the bottle that I got and has sadly recently gone up in price - however I think Abbey's affiliate code still works for 20% off (MHC20) and also supports her work: https://www.hydrogenhealth.net.au/products/hydrogen-health-water-bottle

Abbey also writes in her Facebook pages about Hydrogen inhalation and suggests that if you are buying a machine to not consider anything less than 1000ml/min flow of Hydrogen. However you are talking about minimum of £1800 for a decent machine. I'm not in a position to consider that at the moment. 

You can see conversation threads about Hydrogen on Abbeys super-useful Facebook pages - including choosing a hydrogen machine at: https://myhealingcommunity.com/active-conversation-threads-a-z/

Here's some of the research Abbey looked at: 

Study: "Effects of drinking hydrogen-rich water on the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumours"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3231938/

Hydrogen-rich water may alleviate chemo-induced neuropathy by affecting the diversity and structure of the gut microbiota, and then the LPS-TLR4 pathway, which provides a direction for further research.

Decreased chemotherapy-induced liver injuries in colorectal cancer patients: Study: "Hydrogen-rich water exerts antitumor effects comparable to 5fluorouracil"
