New COPD Therapy Addresses Causes...
Whether it is COPD, chronic bronchitis, asthma or lung emphysema, the effects of reduced oxygen intake in the blood are mostly accompanied by measurable and noticeable complaints as well as long-term intense deterioration in the quality of life. The Active Air® Therapy addresses the causes and improves the function of the upper control and regulatory central system, the
autonomic nervous system!
During the last 10 years, experience has shown that in patients with reduced oxygen saturation, e.g. of 90 % in the blood (measured by means of the pulse oximeter finger clip) following several Active Air application, approximately 3-5 % points of additional oxygen saturation could be measured in blood. Since normal "activated" air was inhaled, these results are evaluated as the improvement of the performance capacity and regeneration of the lung cells.
Such results can normally only be achieved if either the oxygen concentration, e.g. of 21% to 95% or the air pressure is increased like HBO in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Both
"compulsory measures", however, do not occur in Active Air!
All functions essential to life such as heart rate, blood pressure, bronchial vascular tone, hormone production, energy metabolism, sleep and relaxation, etc. are controlled by the excitatory nervous or sympathetic and relaxation nervous or parasympathetic systems in the autonomic nervous system. External and internal stimuli have a continual effect on the nervous system, which processes the stimuli and, hence, control the organs and cells in the body. The more excitatory the autonomic nervous system can be and the stimulus can process, the healthier we are.
This, for example, can be measured by means of the
heart rate variability (HRV). The globally recognized ECG measuring technology serves as the basis of this HRV measurement. Direct feedback to disturbed regulatory processes of the nervous, immune and hormone system are completed by means of the HRV measurement. In people with COPD, the modulatory and regulatory capacity of the autonomic nervous system is distinctly disturbed. This ultimately leads to the fact that the lung cells are not correctly ?controlled? and cannot recuperate. Likewise, the bronchial enlargement or distortion is not correctly controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
Example:
If we are in a stress situation (flight reaction = hyperactive sympathetic system), the blood vessels are constricted and blood pressure increases = high blood pressure. If the parasympathetic system is more active, the cross-section of the blood vessels is widened, which consequently reduces the blood pressure. This interaction between constriction and relaxation is significantly and measurably interfered in people with
COPD.
Active Air has direct effects over the improvement of the function of the upper control and regulatory central system in the
external respiration (oxygen transport from air into the blood)
internal respiration (energy production in the mitochondria = cellular energy generation)
More energy in the cells signify enhanced efficiency, fewer free radicals, faster recovery, more effective regulation or adjustment and faster regeneration.
The present standard therapy with highly concentrated oxygen can
only improve external respiration, in which another simultaneous impairment of the lung cells must be accepted due to the increased production of free radicals. This is the drawback of oxygen if it is absorbed and concentrated on a long-term basis.
Note: Ionised oxygen is by definition an oxygen radical = free radical! From a biological viewpoint, additional free radicals in extreme concentration are transported to the body, which also consequently damages the lung tissues.
The Active Air® Therapy enables regeneration and relaxation of the disturbed lung tissue since basic prerequisites are created in the body for this reason.
Application:
Active Air® can be employed alone or combined with any orthodox medical or naturopathic therapy. The therapy proceeds via a breathing mask.
The therapy period is 1-3 times a day, each lasting 30 minutes.
