What is Molecular Hydrogen

Modern medicine is about to discover how brilliant, safe and effective it can be.
Molecular hydrogen brings a revolution in medicine, one that every doctor and patient will be interested in. The science is irresistible and mounting clinical experience is pointing to hydrogen as the strongest, simplest and safest medicine in existence. After experimenting with the toxic pharmaceuticals, heavy metals and radiation over the last century we now find hydrogen gas and hydrogen water making headway into the mainstream of medicine where it is already saving lives.

Molecular hydrogen (H₂) functions as an extensive protector against oxidative stress, inflammation and allergic reactions.¹
Molecular hydrogen is a medical gas that can be dissolved in water and administered through drinking, inhalation, transdermally, used in baths, and by intravenous drip (IV). Molecular hydrogen has proven useful and convenient as a novel antioxidant and modifier of gene expression where oxidative stress results in cellular damage.

Hydrogen is qualified to cross the blood brain barrier, to enter the mitochondria, and “even has the ability to translocate to the nucleus under certain conditions,” reports Dr. Brandon J. Dixon in Medical Gas Research. Because of its size, molecular hydrogen can do a lot of things larger molecules of known antioxidants can’t. Once in these ideal locations of the cell, previous studies have shown that hydrogen exerts antioxidant, anti- apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties that are beneficial to the cell.
There are no safety issues with hydrogen; it has been used for years in gas mixtures for deep diving and in numerous clinical trials without adverse events. There are no warnings in the literature of its toxicity or long-term exposure effects.

Hydrogen helps protect us from the cellular damage caused by increasing radiation, chemical and heavy metal exposure. It will also offer some level of protection from the oxidative stress caused by cell phones, Wi-Fi and all the EMF pollution that is increasingly plaguing us. And it will protect us from the negative side effects of
pharmaceutical medicines, chemotherapy and radiation doctors use to treat cancer.

The first report demonstrating the benefits of drinking hydrogen water in patients receiving radiation therapy for malignant tumors affirms how helpful hydrogen is for  radiation exposure. This finding provides the foundation for a clinically applicable, effective, and safe strategy for the delivery of hydrogen gas to mitigate radiation-induced cellular injury.²
In an increasingly radioactive world and with doctors using more radiation to diagnose and treat disease than ever hydrogen will be life saving for many.
