Hydrogen Supports Healing of Metabolic Disease and its Consequences
Molecular hydrogen is a novel tool that also may be useful in the fight against metabolic disease and its consequences, each of which continue to increase in incidence. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a condition that was estimated to affect 120 million people worldwide in 2000, [1] has quadrupled in globalRead
Hydrogen: An Intriguing Agent to Address Autoimmunity
With its well-documented action as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it is not surprising that hydrogen (H2) has been studied as treatment for autoimmunity and related diseases. The power of H2 as an antioxidant is somewhat more prominent in a highly stressed state,[1,2] which commonly exists in diseases of autoimmunity.[3] InRead
Hydrogen as a Novel Neuroprotectant
Because of its unique properties, one of the settings in which hydrogen (H2) has been extensively researched is central nervous system (CNS) disease. Due to its small size and neutral charge, it easily passes through the blood-brain barrier and into all cellular compartments including the nucleus. [1,2] The landmark 2007Read
Hydrogen as a Therapeutic Gas: The Science Behind the Bubble
Hydrogen may simultaneously be one of the most basic and broadly applicable therapies that exists. Having one proton and one electron, hydrogen is the simplest element—if assessed only by these characteristics. Much like the halogens (substances like fluorine, iodine, and bromine), hydrogen naturally forms a bond with another hydrogen atomRead

Add Your Clinical Protocols & Observations to the Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Health and Medicine COVID-19 Support Registry
We are at an unprecedented time in medical history with the COVID-19 pandemic. The frontlines of care include physicians and care providers of all backgrounds, including allopathic, complementary and integrative medicine. It is imperative that physicians share their knowledge with one another on the interventions being used to build immuneRead
LANCET: Comprehensive COVID-19 Hospitalization and Death Rate Estimates
March 30, 2020 – Press statement from Lancet on COVID-19 hospitalization and death rates. The following are the first comprehensive estimates from mainland China of the proportion of people with coronavirus (COVID-19) who required hospitalization, and latest death rate estimates – both show sharp increases with age. Nearly one-in-five over-80sRead
Integrative (Weil), Naturopathic (AANP) and Nutrition (ANA) Organizations Open COVID-19 Resource Sites
Amidst of the waves of information on local, national and global developments related to COVID-19, efforts stand out of a few organizations to capture and bundle content that targets the integrative practice communities. Among the entities that have established resources pages are the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center forRead
The Important Role of Telemental Services for Medical Teams and Patients During COVID-19
While the public health strategy of washing hands and practicing physical distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19 is effective and well underway, these measures do not address the psychological needs of the patients and health service providers. Worry about the virus spread and simply the act of social distancingRead
New Knee Single-Step Regenerative Hydrogels Shows Promise
This new animal study shows that a new technique for regenerative hydrogels could be the next new tool for joint diseases, such as knee osteoarthritis. Conventional treatments like artificial joint replacements offer temporary relief but come with several disadvantages, including limited functionality and the need for replacement. A better solutionRead
