Does anyone have experience with hydrogen therapy as a treatment for COPD?
Dear forum friends,
I am asking this question in relation to the exercabation I am currently experiencing.
I was diagnosed with COPD about 12 years ago and 30 days ago I had my second exacerbation in 17 months.
I went to my doctor and asked for a rescue inhaler and steroid tablets (Prednisolon).
The resque inhaler doesn't do much, but the Prednisolon tablets seem to relieve some of the discomfort. Although I am still short of breath.
In the meantime, many hours of research have been spent on the internet in search of an (alternative) remedy to alleviate the symptoms of lung attack.
During that search, I was particularly struck by both stories and clinical studies that suggest that hydrogen therapy (molecular hydrogen gas) has therapeutic potential for COPD.
All things considered, it has convinced me to order a hydrogen generator from the Netherlands that can produce both molecular hydrogen and oxygen (together Browgas), as well as hydrogen-rich water.
Does anyone on this forum already have experience or knowledge of hydrogen therapy and would be kind enough to share it with me?
Thanks.
It’s No I haven’t bit it sounds intriguing..I caught a cold, (in our local hospital), here in Maine and within 24 hours, I could barely btrearh, with an upcoming appointment with my doc to help me figure out the Nebulizer!! Which is why, I guess, it is really important to have meds current, devices unferstood, etc..
I guess I am having a flare up but Could it be an exacerbation, but since I have a really bad cold, it could be a ‘flare up’?
Hi
. Your cold could certainly be making your COPD symptoms worse, but if you reach a point where you feel unsafe, please either contact your doctor or go to the ER. Hopefully, you will feel better in a few days. Keep us posted if you don't mind. Sending lots of healing vibes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
Hi
. I have read a few of the studies and it certainly sounds interesting. Have you told your doctor you plan to try hydrogen therapy? I hope you get more responses here, but we would love to hear about your experience if you do try it. I hope it helps. Warmly, Lori (Team Member) I expect to receive the device around Tuesday 1 April.
After using it for a period of 8 days / 8 hours a day, the time period used during a medical examination that I came across in a medical paper, I will update you.
