Scientific researchers informs us,that Hydrogen
is extremely unique since it has the capability to act
at the cellular level. Hydrogen is reported to cross
the blood brain barrier, to enter the mitochondria, and
even
the ability to translocate to the nucleus under certain
conditions. Once in these ideal cell locations ,
studies have shown that hydrogen exerts antioxidant,
anti-apoptotic,
anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties that
are beneficial to the cell.
Our body takes in the H2 and convert it into hydrogen
anions, H-. or commonly termed as active hydrogen. Active
Hydrogen is a powerful anti-oxidant as it is able to remove
the active oxygen in our body that is known to be the cause
of many types of chronic diseases. Molecular hydrogen also
has anti-inflammatory effect besides its antioxidant properties.
Inflammation is a silent killer that caused many chronic
diseases. Hydrogen has also been found to have anti-tumor
effect.
" We recently learned that the most important
number related to our water is not pH . In fact, the
most important number in health and wellness may not
be your PSA, cholesterol or blood pressure, or ORAC.
The most important number is the Number 1 on the Table
of Periodic Elements, "Hydrogen." To
be more specific diatomic molecular hydrogen. That
tiny,
pervasive,
immensely powerful hydrogen."

In terms of medicine small is good, as Nano
science has shown. In the case of hydrogen, we are talking
about the ultimate in smallness proving to be the biggest
medical breakthrough of the 21st century. Hydrogen appears
in the top left corner of the periodic table, and is denoted
as number one. Hydrogen is the smallest, simplest, and
most fundamental element with molecular hydrogen (H2) the
smallest molecule.
Interestingly,
water, which is essential to life, is formed by the combination
of oxygen (a powerful oxidizer) and
hydrogen (a powerful reducer). It tends to make sense that
molecular hydrogen has high-powered therapeutic potential
as does water itself. Hydrogen is a novel and innovative
therapeutic tool and can be used like intravenous vitamin
C therapy except it is vastly less expensive, and can be
used every day around the clock—with every sip of
water.
The Benefits of Hydrogen-Rich Water
Hydrogen-Rich Water...
• Lubricates joints and muscles; our body is 70% water
• Keeps our minds alert; the brain is over 70% water needing
hydration to function
• Helps the body absorb nutrients
• Aids in circulation and digestion
• Helps regulate body temperature
• Detoxifies cells and the whole body
• Improves blood pressure, decreases headaches, arthritic
symptoms, back pain, and chronic illness symptoms
Each
drink of hydrogen water will flush our bodies with
trillions of hydrogen molecules. H2 is an effective molecule
to scavenger or pair up with toxic hydroxyl radicals in
the body that need to be neutralized. Hydrogen therapy
is safe as there is no upper limit of use. The
more water you drink infused with hydrogen the better, especially
if you have late stage cancer and need to turn things around
quickly.
| My question is: Is hydrogen-rich water true? I am
aware of the alkaline water. I have read several articles
in the Internet regarding this kind of water but I
cannot seem to be convinced
A Hydrogen water is a solution of molecular hydrogen
H 2 in water, which shouldn't be confused with
acidic or basic solutions. The first scientific
reference to hydrogen water appears to be in the
journal, Nature Medicine which can be accessed
here if you have a personal or institutional subscription
to the journal. The claim is that molecular hydrogen
can serve as a reducing agent and therefore has
antioxidant properties; namely, it can reduce hydroxyl
radicals:
H
2 +2OH·---2H
2 O
The article has generated a considerable amount
of research, with well over 300 journal articles
citing this work originally published in 2007. There
seems to be some merit to the claim . One such article,
which is publicly
accessible is here.

Safety
of Hydrogen
There is no
toxicity to H2 because the byproduct of the free-radical
neutralizing
reaction is water. Each
molecule
of H2 will neutralize 2 hydroxyl radicals into two molecules
of H2O hydrating your cells in the process.Hydrogen water
at a concentration of 1.6 mg/L would have more antioxidant molecules
than one hundred 100 mg tablets of vitamin C, as there
are more total molecules in 1.6 mg of hydrogen compared
100
mg of
vitamin
C.
Hydrogen
(H2) is reported to have no cytotoxicity even at
high concentrations.1 “The
safety of H2 for humans is demonstrated by its application in Hydreliox, an exotic,
breathing gas mixture of 49% H2, 50% helium and 1% O2, which is used to prevent
decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis during very deep technical diving.”1
Effects of hydrogen have been reported in 63 disease models
and human diseases (Table
1). Only two diseases of cerebral
infarction and metabolic syndrome have been analyzed in
both rodents and humans. Lack of any adverse effects of
hydrogen enabled clinical studies even in the absence of
animal studies. Some other human studies including Parkinson’s
disease are currently in progress, and promising effects
of hydrogen are expected to emerge for many other human
diseases.

Reduced Diabetes Symptoms
In 2008, a team of Japanese researchers tested 30 subjects who had either type
2 diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. After eight weeks, subjects
who drank 900mL of hydrogen-rich water daily showed significan improvements
in cholesteroal and other diabetes-related symptoms. The results of this
research led the scientists to believe that hydrogen-rich water could help
prevent type 2 diabetes. Source
| In a clinical trial performed by Kajiyama et al.,
the effects of hydrogen rich water on patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance
were examined. The study was a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled, crossover study that involved 30
diabetes mellitus patients and 6 impaired glucose patients.
Each patient was subjected to 900 ml of hydrogen rich
water and 900 ml or pure water for 8 weeks, with a
12-week wash out period. The results revealed that
hydrogen rich water increased extra cellular superoxide
dismutase and serum adiponectin levels, which is implicated
in improving insulin resistance. The results of the
study also revealed that hydrogen rich water was able
to reduce serum modified LDL levels as well as normalize
the glucose tolerance levels in 4 of the 6 total patients.
Indicating that hydrogen rich water aids lipid and
glucose metabolism. The conclusion made was that hydrogen
rich water has benefits in preventing or impeding type
2 diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance, because
of its ability to effectively reduce oxidative stress. Source |

When you work out intensely, your muscles contract, causing oxidative stress.
This can lead to signs of overtraining, which include muscle microinjuries,
fatigue, and inflammation.
Hydrogen is believed to be an antioxidant. Researchers
in 2012 performed a double-blined test on 10 soccer players,
giving them hydrogen-rich water. The patients given hydrogen
water isntead of the placebo demonstrated lower levels
of lactate in their blood.

Producing
the hydrogen directly inside the water also seems
to temporarily supersaturate
the solution
and increase the amount of hydrogen dissolved, because
the equilibrium solubility of hydrogen gas in water
is tiny, only around 1.6 mg per kg of water at 20°C.

Therapeutic Hydrogen
water high in hydrogen may ride to the rescue of doctors
and patients who are battling with
chronic diseases. Studies have confirmed that consumption
of hydrogen reduces oxidative stress in a diverse range
of disorders and organ systems including the digestive,
cardiovascular and respiratory systems. There are hundreds
of scientific publications that show molecular hydrogen
to be therapeutic. Even NASA is researching hydrogen water
to protect their astronauts from radiation during space
travel.

Anti-Aging Effects
We generate molecules that do damage in our bodies every
day, whether through intense exercise, smoking, ultraviolet
exposure, pollution, aging, or any other
types of stress. These “reactive oxygen species” (ROS) form in
the process of breathing, something we have to do every minute of every day.
Certain scientific studies have suggested that the consumption
of molecular hydrogen (which can be put into the body by
drinking hydrogen-rich water) can help with a number of
issues related to ROS, including obesity, diabetes, cognitive
function, and even intestinal health. Source
Molecular hydrogen is a medical leap that is going to
help many people. It elevates oral medicine to the level
of intravenous
medicine because of the ultra-quick absorption and dispersion
deep into the cells.

Radiation the Demon of modern living
"As the damage caused by radiation is largely
a result of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen is a potent
scavenger of hydroxyl radicals, it is unsurprising
that studies have reported protection by hydrogen
against radiation injury.One study14 explained that “[t]he
gastrointestinal tract is one of the most susceptible
organs to radiation. As low as 1 Gy of radiation
induces a dramatic increase in apoptosis [programmed
cell death] in mouse small intestinal crypt within
3–6 h after exposure, predominantly in the
stem cell region.” In their study, the researchers
tested the protective effects of hydrogen-rich water
against gamma radiation to cultured lymphocytes and
the gastrointestinal tract in mice. In the mice,
for example, plasma SOD (superoxide dismutase) and
GSH (glutathione) concentrations were significantly
higher at 12 hours after irradiation in the hydrogen
treated group as compared to the controls. The plasma
malondialdehyde (a lipid peroxidation product) and
intestinal 8-OHdG (a breakdown product of damaged
DNA) concentrations at 12 hours of irradiation in
the hydrogen treated group was significantly lower
than that of the control group.

Hydrogen is intriguing. As explained by Tyler LeBaron, founder
of the Molecular Hydrogen Foundation, hydrogen powers the
suns fusion, it is key
to ATP production within the mitochondria, and it is the
father of all other elements. Hydrogen, along with oxygen,
has been intrinsically involved with evolution of life in
both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (e.g. hydrogenases, hydrogenosomes,
mitochondria, etc.). The extremes of oxygen and hydrogen
provide balance between oxidation and reduction, which is
vital to life. The most important and basic thing to know
about molecular hydrogen is that it negates the toxicity
of oxygen.
Hydrogen in the body is mostly
bound to carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. It is part of almost
every molecule in your body:
DNA, proteins, sugars, fats. The hydrogen bond - which forms
between atoms that "share" a hydrogen atom, is
one of the most important interactions that makes biological
molecules behave as they do. Thus, hydrogen is an important
factor in the regulation of physiology.
This is what I would call the ultimate testimony
from a doctor about what you can expect if we start supplementing
with the hydrogen.
Antioxidant, Antitumor Cancer Treatment
Acute oxidative stress induced by ischemia-reperfusion
or inflammation causes serious damage to tissues, and persistent
oxidative stress is accepted as one of the causes of many
common diseases including cancer. H2 selectively reduces
the hydroxyl radical, the most cytotoxic of reactive oxygen
species (ROS), and effectively protected cells; however,
H2 does not react with other ROS, which possess physiological
roles. The inhalation of H2 gas markedly suppressed brain
injury by buffering the effects of oxidative stress. Thus,
H2 can be used as an effective antioxidant therapy; owing
to its ability to rapidly diffuse across membranes, it
can reach and react with cytotoxic ROS and thus protect
against oxidative damage.
Recent advances in hydrogen research as a therapeutic medical
gas
"Ease the negative side effects
of radiation treatment for cancer. In a 2011 study,
Dr. Nakao’s team looked at 49 liver cancer patients
undergoing radiation, a treatment that often increases
fatigue and negatively affects quality of life. Participants
who drank about two quarts of hydrogen-rich water daily
for six weeks showed lower blood levels of oxidative
markers (by-products of cell injury caused by free
radicals) and reported higher quality of life than
participants who drank tap water. Hydrogen-rich water
did not compromise radiation’s therapeutic
antitumor effects, Dr. Nakao noted. "
Conclusions
Daily consumption of hydrogen-rich water is a potentially , therapeutic strategy
for improving QOL after radiation exposure. Consumption of hydrogen-rich
water reduces the biological reaction to radiation-induced oxidative stress
without compromising anti-tumor effects.Source

ROS are involved in metastatic processes including invasion
of cancer cells into surrounding primary tumor sites. Generated
ROS regulates tumor progression, indicating that ROS is situated
upstream in many signaling pathways including the pathway
involved in metastasis. At tumor sites, large amount of ROS
are produced by activated neutrophils and macrophages in
the inflammatory response.
Showing results for double blind studies on hydrogen water
Hydrogen
water erases ROS indispensable for tumor cell growth. Scientistswho
have studied its antitumor effects used hydrogen
in combination with hyperthermia at 42°C
and found it to be potent as an anti-tumor agent.[3]Therapeutic
opportunities of hydrogen increases in the presence of specific
catalysts or heat thus for cancer and other serious diseases
it should be used in the context of a full protocol.
While people in the west are still trying to decide whether
hydrogen water is real or quackery, people in Japan are embracing
hydrogen-rich water in droves. Look forward to more information
about hydrogen-rich water as the rest of the world learns
about one of the best-kept secrets in Japan.
These units will turn any drinking water, including tap
water into hydrogen water nearly instantly.
"Hydrogen water flasks" are different from water ionizers! The major
difference is that during the electrolysis process, hydrogen and Oxygen are separated
and only hydrogen is allowed to pass through the water, enabling a dissolved
hydrogen and electron Concentration to be maximized. "
