Hypoxia

          Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole (generalized hypoxia) or region of the body (tissue hypoxia) is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. Hypoxia in which there is complete deprivation of oxygen supply is referred to as anoxia.

         Hypoxia is distinguished from apoxemia, which is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in arterial blood [1]. A frequent error is to use the term hypoxemia to mean low oxygen content in arterial blood. It is possible to have a low oxygen content (e.g., due to anemia) but a high PO2. Incorrect use of these terms can lead to confusion.

        Generalised hypoxia occurs in healthy people when they ascend to high altitude, where it causes altitude sickness and its potentially fatal complications, high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). Hypoxia also occurs in healthy individuals when breathing mixtures of gases with a low oxygen content, such as while diving underwater, especially when using closed-circuit rebreather systems that control the amount of oxygen in the supplied air. Altitude training intentionally uses mild hypoxia to increase the concentration of red blood cells in the body for increased athletic performance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medical))

 

How many days the person can live without meal? - Some weeks.

How much time the person can live without water? - Some days?

How much time the person can live without oxygen?  The answer is obvious - a minutes.     Make the conclusion.   

Fresh air is necessary for your health.

 

      We know, oxygen was one of the basic elements at origin of life on the Earth, and now it is necessary for active and healthy life. But, unfortunately, for last 200 years the contents of oxygen in air was reduced almost in two times.

Contents of pure oxygen in our air should be not less than 21 % for normal work of all human body (for your information - two persons spend 40 liters/hour of oxygen approximately, concentration of oxygen on the ocean – 21.5% - 22%).  Intensive pollution of an atmosphere and the general deterioration of an ecological situation have resulted , that in large cities, the amount of pure clean oxygen in air from time to time does not exceed and 18%. For this reason arises Hypoxia (shortage of oxygen).

Hypoxia has an adverse effect for state of health of the person:
• headaches, weakness and  fast fatigue;
• allergic reactions and deterioration of a condition of a skin;
• lowered immunity and accumulation of toxins in blood;
• bad dream, depression and infringement of the sexual functions;
• chronic diseases become aggravated.

We have so got used to chronic shortage of oxygen, that at times it we do not notice. And frequently bad state of health we copy on other reasons. It is proved, that the chronic weariness, undue fatigability, nervousness, sleeplessness, depression, often morbidity, infringement of exchange processes, decrease of immunity and others of infringements are connected to occurrence ãèïîêñèè. According to the carried out researches, hypoxia can be felt even at practically healthy people insufficiently staying on fresh air.

     The modern medicine has a necessary set of means for prevention of Hypoxia, but as well as in any business the problem needs to be solved in a complex. Inhabitants of the big cities spend from 70 up to 90 % of time in apartments, office and car, and only 10-30% of time - in the street, on « fresh air » of cities.  Doctors recommend us to be on a fresh air more time, as preventive measures of diseases. However who can leave city each day?

What we can do in this situation? We know the way, we offer for you our special oxygen systems “OXYVIVE” and special natural products with oxygen or for oxygen therapy.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)

      Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition of prolonged and severe tiredness or weariness (fatigue) that is not relieved by rest and is not directly caused by other conditions. To be diagnosed with this condition, your tiredness must be severe enough to decrease your ability to participate in ordinary activities by 50%. (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001244.htm)

Causes 

The exact cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is unknown. Some researchers suspect it may be caused by a virus, such as Epstein-Barr virus or human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6). However, no distinct viral cause has been identified. Recent studies have shown that chronic fatigue syndrome may be caused by inflammation of pathways in the nervous system, and that this inflammation may be some sort of immune response or process. CFS may occur when a viral illness is complicated by a problem with the body's immune response. Other factors such as age, prior illness, stress, environment, or genetics may also play a role.

Symptoms

Symptoms of CFS are similar to those of most common viral infections (muscle aches, headache, and fatigue), often developing within a few hours or days and lasting for 6 months or more.

Main symptoms:

·                     Fatigue or tiredness, never experienced to this extent before (new onset), lasting at least 6 months and not relieved by bed rest

·                     Fatigue that is severe enough to restrict activity (serious fatigue develops with less than one-half of the exertion compared to before the illness)

Other symptoms:

·                     Fatigue lasting more than 24 hours after an amount of exercise that would normally be easily tolerated

·                     Mild fever (101 degrees F or less)

·                     Sore throat

·                     Lymph node tenderness in the neck or armpit

·                     Muscle weakness, all over or multiple locations, not explained by any known disorder

·                     Muscle aches (myalgias)

·                     Feeling unrefreshed after sleeping an adequate amount of time

·                     Headaches, different from previous headaches in quality, severity, or pattern

·                     Joint pain, often moving from joint to joint (migratory arthralgias), without joint swelling or redness

·                     Forgetfulness or other similar symptoms including difficulty concentrating, confusion, or irritability

Treatment

There is currently no treatment that has been proven to be effective in curing CFS. Instead, the symptoms are treated. Many people with CFS experience depression and other psychological problems that may improve with treatment.

Some of the proposed treatments include:

·                     Antiviral drugs (such as acyclovir)

·                     Drugs to fight "hidden" yeast infections (such as nystatin)

·                     Medications to treat depression (antidepressant drugs)

·                     Medications to treat anxiety (antianxiety drugs)

·                     Medications to reduce pain, discomfort, and fever

Some medications can cause adverse reactions or side effects that are worse than the original symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.  The last investigation showed us that CFS very closly connected with hypoxya. In this case Doctors recommend us to be on a fresh air more time or use the oxygen therapy.
