Intensive cell training with IHHT equipment

At Wise Medicine in Winterthur and Wädenswil we maintain several IHHT units. Customer feedback is very encouraging and demand is high. We would like to introduce the new medically certified high-tech devices in more detail.

Interval hypoxia-hyperoxia training (IHHT) originates from space travel and is a highly effective training for energy metabolism at the cellular level. Our body consists of 80 trillion cells. In almost every one of these cells, so-called mitochondria provide the necessary cell energy - they form the small power stations of a cell. IHHT improves the work of these mitochondria. On the one hand, IHHT destroys damaged mitochondria, on the other hand, it stimulates the multiplication of healthy mitochondria. After this kind of cell rehabilitation, the patient's organism finally has cells with numerous healthy mitochondria.

Short video: What are mitochondria?

The key element of energy production in the mitochondria is oxygen. Therefore, oxygen is of central importance in IHHT. The devices supply the organism with controlled breathing air with fluctuating oxygen content (varying oxygen pressure). A phase with a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) follows a phase with an excess of oxygen (hyperoxia). Every cell reacts to this and tries to balance these two different stimulus phases. This is the core process of this cell training, which ultimately has a similar effect to altitude training.

Encouraging feedback

"I went to IHHT for 12 sessions 2x per week at the Wise Medicine practice. This was after I had been struggling with cardiac arrhythmias, sleep disorders, severe exhaustion and burnout for 6 months. From about the 6th session onwards, the heart rhythm disturbances eased and finally disappeared completely, and my fitness has also improved massively. My sleep is also better, so that I was able to stop taking my doctor's medication (in consultation, of course). Thank you, the care and support were very good. I can recommend it to others.

"I've had Covid twice in the last two years and about a year ago I had to reduce my hours and had classic burnout. On top of that, I had cancer this spring and then was out for a few months for recovery. The first time I used the "Himalaya Machine" (that's what I call this oxygen therapy affectionately, because the Himalaya Mountains are one of my favorite places and I've been there many times...) I didn't notice very much and felt very tired the first few times. But after about 10-15 times I noticed a breakthrough! Before the IHHT therapy I could work maximum 3 to maximum 4 hours per day. After that I was completely exhausted. But now I can work full time again, I have energy, inspiration and power again and I feel as energetic as before all the incidents. Thank you so much for letting me take advantage of this offer and I am full of drive and energy again, like I was in my prime. Recommended to everyone!"

the application and the effect

Thanks to IHHT, the energy production in the cells gradually runs at full speed. This increases the general performance capacity and the patient feels mentally and physically vital. IHHT offers the following concrete advantages:

• Strengthening the immune system

• Improvement of the oxygen supply to the cells

• Improvement of the energy production of the cells (activation of the energy metabolism)

• Higher fat burning / weight loss support

• Better blood circulation to the organs

• Balancing the autonomic nervous system (VNS)

• Increase in the ability to perform and concentrate

• Increased performance of the cardiovascular system (heart, vessels)

• Improvement of sleep quality and stress resistance

• Shortens the regeneration times

• Ensures balanced hormone production

• Supports formation of new blood vessel capillaries

• Gives weakened organs a chance to recover

In addition to exhausted patients, the devices are also used successfully in competitive sports. IHHT also helps with chronic diseases, immunodeficiency, Lyme disease, ADHD, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), depression, skin problems, vascular problems, problems with lungs and airways (asthma), migraine and headaches, problems with muscles, connective tissue, bones and tissue, neurogenerative diseases, kidney and bladder, and digestive organs. The device alleviates menstrual cramps and helps in childbearing and pregnancy.

Cancer patients can also benefit from IHHT cell training - but always under medical supervision. Therefore, always make an appointment with one of our doctors in Winterthur first.

treatment - in professional hands

Treatment starts with a careful assessment of the patient's state of health by our doctors/therapists or medical practice assistants.

The actual cell training is done lying down and usually lasts 50 minutes. The patient breathes in and out calmly through a special breathing mask and relaxes. During this time, central measurement data is recorded.

The VNS analysis is used to control the IHHT. This analysis is repeated after about five sessions as well as at the end of the treatment. This allows us to determine objective changes and - paired with the subjective feeling of the patient - to summarise them into an overall result of the IHHT treatment.
