Molecular
hydrogen is a gas with unique and selective antioxidant effects.1 Tyler W. LeBaron is a
world-class expert on molecular hydrogen, who has done research at Nagoya
University in Japan, where most of his research started. He's executive
director of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute (MHI), which is a science-based
nonprofit under Section 501(c)(3). MHI is focused on advancing the research,
education and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas.
He's also
director of several other nonprofit organizations, including the International
Hydrogen Standards Association, which is currently creating standards for the
ISO criteria for measurement of hydrogen gas. The reason you probably haven't
heard of molecular hydrogen is because it's relatively new. The landmark paper
published on it in Nature Medicine came out only 10 years ago (2007), and most
of the research has been done in Asia.
Molecular Hydrogen 101
Molecular
hydrogen refers to diatomic hydrogen or H2 gas — two hydrogen atoms combined
together. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe, and is neutral and
nonpolar, which is why its bioavailability is so great. It does not dissociate
into its electrons and protons when dissolved in water, so it will not alter
the pH of water or your body and has nothing to do with the alkaline water
concept.
"It's just
hydrogen gas. It's three times more energy-dense than gasoline. That's why it's
being looked at as an alternative energy source or fuel," LeBaron says. "It's what
powers the sun and fusion in producing helium. This is the hydrogen we're
talking about and we're seeing it can also be therapeutic, [and is] effective
whether you inhale it, dissolve it in water and drink it, or other methods of
application.
In 2009, I came
across an article published in Nature Medicine2 [in 2007]
… [which] showed [2 percent] hydrogen [gas] was effective at preventing the
brain damage from ischemia reperfusion induced by a middle cerebral artery
occlusion in a rat model … I was getting my degree in biochemistry at the time,
but I've always been interested in health …
I took it from
there and was able to read all the research, all the literature, and continue
advancing in this area, then later go to Japan. Now I'm able to work with and
collaborate with some of the top researchers around the world in this. I feel
very fortunate to be involved in this emerging area of hydrogen gas."
Molecular Hydrogen Has
Unique, Selective Antioxidant Effects
Molecular
hydrogen remediates oxidative stress, which is one of the most fundamental
mechanisms that destroys human health. That's why molecular hydrogen is so
exciting —it has such unique antioxidant effects that specifically target only
the most harmful free radicals. Now, while you might think the hydrogen gas
dissociates or neutralizes hydroxyl free radicals (which cause the most
oxidative damage), it doesn't appear to work that way.
There are more
than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications on molecular hydrogen, which
have collectively demonstrated that H2 has therapeutic potential in over 170
different human and animal disease models. In fact, hydrogen is shown to
benefit virtually every organ of the human body, The reason why is because
hydrogen targets and mitigates the root cause of many diseases, inflammation
and oxidation. But just how does it do this? LeBaron explains:
"To
understand how hydrogen works, we need to understand how free radicals work and
why they're produced. First, the hydroxyl radical, which is OH neutral with a
lone pair electron, is produced in your body through the Fenton reaction. When
free radicals get too high, like superoxide radicals, peroxynitrite [or]
ionizing radiation,3 [they]
can be converted to hydroxyl radicals … [Hydroxyl radicals] are damaging
because they're so reactive …
When you look
at other free radicals [such as] nitric oxide, that's a very important free
radical which causes vasodilation. We don't want to neutralize that. We have
superoxide radicals [and] other oxidants like hydrogen peroxide — these are all
very important.
Of course, too
much is bad, but having them in the right concentrations and at the right
locations is very good for you. We don't want to just neutralize all of those,
whereas hydroxyl radicals or peroxynitrite oxidants, we don't want any of them.
That Nature
Medicine publication specifically showed that hydrogen could act as a
therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing the cytotoxic oxygen radicals,
specifically the hydroxyl radical and to a lesser extent peroxynitrite, without
decreasing the other oxidants like hydrogen peroxide or superoxide …
Most other
antioxidants are not selective … [and] that can be problematic … Hydrogen is
selective in that it's only going to decrease or reduce those toxic radicals
like the hydroxyl radical.4"
How Molecular Hydrogen
Works
There are two
basic definitions of an antioxidant: 1) a molecule that donates an electron to
a radical reaction, and 2) a molecule that improves the redox status of the
cell. Redox stands for oxidation reduction. In your cells, you need both
oxidation and a reduction of oxidation in order for everything to work
properly.
When that
balance gets perturbed by too much oxidation, you end up with oxidative stress.
If you don't have enough oxidation, you end up with other serious problems. In
many cases, damage is not caused by an excess of free radicals but rather a
redox dysregulation.
"We need
free radicals," LeBaron says, "and
studies have shown you can actually suffer from too much oxidative stress and
too much reductive stress5 (or not
enough oxidative potential) not only in the same body or the same organ, but in
the exact same cell. Too much oxidative stress in the cytosol; not enough
oxidative power in endoplasmic reticulum. Hydrogen helps to bring everything
back to homeostasis."
So, while
hydrogen has antioxidant effects, it works primarily by improving the redox
status of the cell when needed. As a result, you see improvements in superoxide
dismutase and glutathione levels, for example. Not only does hydrogen
selectively reduce the most toxic radicals, but it can help prevent an excess
(which becomes toxic) of the free radicals from being produced in the first
place. This is a very powerful prevention mechanism.
Another way is
by activating the Nrf2 pathway when the activation is needed. Nrf2 is a
transcription factor that, when activated, goes into the cell's nucleus and
binds to the antioxidant response element in the DNA. It then induces the
transcription of further cytoprotective enzymes such as glutathione, superoxide
dismutase catalase, glutathione peroxidase, phase II enzymes, heme-1 oxygenase
and many others.
"One study6,7 [looking
at] metabolic syndrome found that subjects drinking hydrogen-enriched water had
a 39 percent increase in extracellular superoxide dismutase. So, yes, hydrogen
does have this antioxidant-like effect, because it can help regulate Nrf2
pathway8 and bring
enzymes and cytoprotective proteins back to the levels they're supposed to be;
back into that realm of homeostasis."
Cyclical Ingestion Is Key
for Optimal Effectiveness
Depending on
the individual and their diet, intestinal bacteria that ferment fiber produce
about 2.5 gallons of hydrogen gas per day,9 which is part of the
therapeutic benefits of fiber. From an evolutionary perspective, we've also
always been exposed to hydrogen gas.10,11
These facts
alone are indicative of its safety. "Anybody can have it — pregnant women,
children, everybody. Hydrogen gas itself is very safe. They have used it in
deep sea diving to prevent decompression sickness12 since the
1940s," LeBaron says. (Normally, helium gas is used but for very deep
dives, hydrogen gas is used, such as hydrox, which is 96 percent hydrogen.)
Now, if
hydrogen gas is so beneficial, and your body already produces loads of it, why
would ingesting hydrogen-rich water still be therapeutic, seeing how you're
getting far lower amounts of hydrogen this way?
Interestingly,
one Nagoya University study13 showed that while continuous administration
of hydrogen in air was ineffective for the prevention of Parkinson's disease,
intermittent exposure was effective. The greatest effects, however, were
obtained by drinking hydrogen-rich water. Just what is it about cyclical or
intermittent exposure (opposed to continuous) that makes such a big difference?
LeBaron explains:
"It
appears to be more of a gaseous-signal modulator. The way a signal modulator
works is, it needs to have this intermittent type exposure, or else you get
habituation or subsequent attenuation of the signal. That's what we're seeing
with hydrogen gas … it modulates gene expression, protein phosphorylation and
many transcription factors, but the primary targets remain elusive.
Molecular
hydrogen has also shown clinically to have some great benefits. More research
is always needed, but there are some compelling ones that show its safety and
effectiveness.
[In one study14] they had 50
patients with cerebral infarction; 25 [received] hydrogen inhalation and 25 in
the control group [received] an approved medical drug … [T]he hydrogen was
significantly more effective than the approved drug on all the measured
parameters, with no side effects.
Again, the
reason I'm so passionate about hydrogen is because here we have a molecule that
is simple, safe, easy to administer, and actually has some really significant
therapeutic potential.
There was just
another study published for … Alzheimer's disease. If you look at the genotype,
those with the APOE4 genotype is susceptible to Alzheimer's disease … When we
look at the effects of drinking hydrogen-rich water … they found it was
significantly therapeutic for this disease. That's big because there are no
approved drugs that are effective for Alzheimer's disease."
Molecular Hydrogen Mimics
Effects of Fasting
Interestingly,
there's evidence to suggest that if you have the APOE4 gene, you really need to
intermittently fast to avoid Alzheimer's, and one of the pathways that hydrogen
seems to mimic is that of fasting. Dr. Dale Bredesen expands on this in his
book "The End of Alzheimer's."
LeBaron cites a
study published in the Journal of Obesity, which basically shows that drinking
hydrogen-rich water had the same effect as restricting calories by about 20%. Also,
both fasting and molecular hydrogen increase neuroprotective gastric ghrelin
secretion, a hunger hormone, and in at least one study, this was shown to be
one of the primary mediators in benefiting those with Parkinson's disease.15,16,17
Hydrogen Applications for
Diabetes
Clinical
studies have also shown molecular hydrogen effectively prevents liver damage
(fatty liver) caused by a high-sugar diet and metabolic syndrome.18,19 "In some of the
metabolic syndrome studies, glucose levels in some of those with impaired
glucose tolerance were brought back to the normal range," LeBaron says.
Animal research20 suggest hydrogen may induce GLUT4 translocation by a similar
mechanism as insulin.
"We need
more studies to investigate this, but some of this preliminary data is really
showing it's a great for these diabetics,21" he says. There's
also some evidence22,23,24,25 it may help suppress
cancer growth as an adjunctive treatment and ameliorate the toxicity of cancer
drugs,26 but LeBaron is
cautious in this regard, saying more research is needed.
Available Hydrogen
Therapies
There are a
number of ways to administer hydrogen. For example, you can inhale hydrogen
gas, and for this, there are inhalation machines you can buy. Caution is
required, however. The gas produced at the cathode is hydrogen gas, but if the
electrodes are impure or develop mineral buildup, and the water you're using
has chloride in it, then chlorine gas can be produced, which you would then
inhale.
Other methods
are drinking and/or bathing in hydrogen-rich water, and there are several ways
to do that. For example, you could bubble it into the water from a tank of
hydrogen gas and dissolve it under pressure. Just keep in mind that if you plan
on storing it, you cannot use plastic containers, as the hydrogen molecules are
so small they'll dissipate right through the container.
For
clarification, hydrogen gas is simply two hydrogen atoms bound together. When
you dissolve it into water, it will not attach to the water molecules, so
there's no risk that you're going to create some other structure. There are
also intravenous hydrogen-rich saline injections and hyperbaric hydrogen
therapy, developed in Japan.
How to Measure the
Concentration of Hydrogen Gas
One way to
check the quality of your molecular hydrogen product is to use a redox
titration reagent called H2 Blue. This is available on many different websites,
including Amazon.
This allows you
to measure the concentration of hydrogen in the water you're about to drink. To
do this, simply fill the small beaker with 6 milliliters of your hydrogen
water. If there's no hydrogen gas in there, the blue reagent will remain blue
If hydrogen gas
is present, the reagent will turn from blue to clear. Once it turns clear, add
another drop of the reagent. Keep adding a drop at a time until the solution
turns blue and stays blue. This is called the titration endpoint.
Simply count
how many drops it took to get there. Each drop is equivalent to about 0.1
milligram per liter and the number of drops required to neutralize the test
solution will determine the concentration of molecular hydrogen. So, if you had
to add 10 drops, you would have 1 milligram of hydrogen per liter.
Therapeutic Dosages
Unfortunately,
there's still insufficient data on what the minimum effective concentration is.
There are many variables involved. However, as a very general guideline,
clinical studies have shown therapeutic effects at doses ranging from 0.5
milligrams to 5 milligrams or more of hydrogen per day. We should be able to
obtain this dose by consuming no more than 1 liter of hydrogen-enriched water
according to IHSA standards.
"We need
more research, but it appears, at least in some of these studies, that a higher
concentration or a higher dose is as effective as and sometimes more effective
than a lower amount," LeBaron says.
In terms of
half-life, if you were to drink hydrogen-rich water, you're going to reach a
peak blood level and breath exhalation point after about five to 15 minutes
depending on the dose. This demonstrates that hydrogen can easily diffuse into
the bloodstream in order to measure changes in the breath. Your hydrogen level
returns to baseline in about an hour or so.
"That's
also how we know hydrogen is more of a signal modulator, because you can drink
the hydrogen water and it's gone out of the system within an hour, yet it has
residual, therapeutic, protective effects that last for hours, days and even
weeks.
One small,
double-blinded, randomized study27 on
rheumatoid arthritis found that drinking hydrogen-rich water was very effective
for the disease … Those with early onset rheumatoid arthritis had remission.
During the washout period, no one was taking hydrogen and they … continued to
see improvements in the disease for an additional four weeks …
[The reason for
this is] because you're targeting gene expression.28 By taking
hydrogen, within three days we see increases for PGC-1α, [which] is
mitochondrial biogenesis … There are so many different transcription factors
hydrogen operates on, so if we start to alter the gene expression, then some of
these changes of the signal modulator can last for quite some time, so we get
residual effects."
More Information
To learn more
about molecular hydrogen, please visit the Molecular Hydrogen Institute's
website. There, you'll find research, video lectures and a variety of other
resources, including a number of different certifications for those interested
in working with and administering molecular hydrogen.
"Again, we
are a science-based nonprofit working to advance the research, education and
awareness of hydrogen as a medical gas, so you're not going to find products
and things on our site, but you will find a lot of information, and we do our
best to provide what's going on in the hydrogen area," LeBaron says.
"I hope
that you'll review this video, review the information on hydrogen, and although
we have a responsibility as researchers to understand the molecular mechanisms
and targets of hydrogen and do clinical studies, because we have a molecule so
significant, and so safe, perhaps it's also your responsibility to share it; to
let other people know about it.
There's so many people who don't have access to
medical care that this could really benefit. There are also those who have
access to too much medical care, where hydrogen can help mitigate the toxic
effects."

Oxygen and hydrogen provide a balance between
oxidation and reduction, to get mitochondrial ATP energy, which is vital for
life. Molecular hydrogen is able to protect cell membranes by trapping the
highly toxic hydroxyl radical. Hydrogen indirectly affects the expression of
genes through its actions to modulate molecules that have an epigenetic effect,
molecular hydrogen can modulate inflammatory responses and apoptosis through
NF-kB and TNFa. 383 Scientific studies of molecular hydrogen in English:

The molecular hydrogen is introduced into the cells
and protect our DNA and our genes, so that the mitochondria produce the energy
necessary for growth, repair and regeneration of the body, improving our
longevity. The molecular hydrogen is 80 times smaller than the vitamin C, this
provides great capacity of hydration to the hydrogenated water, and great power
to the hydrogen to cross the blood-brain barrier. Studies have shown that
hydrogen exerts antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory and
cytoprotective properties that are beneficial for the cell, preventing chronic
and neurodegenerative diseases. It increases the levels of superoxide dismutase
and glutathione as well as the Nef2 diet. Hydrogen also prevents the oxidation
of proteins and fats. Hydrogenated water has a hexagonal molecular structure of
small molecular size, with a negative reduction oxidation potential (-100 to
-900mV), with a very antioxidant effect. The more negative the value, the
greater the antioxidant capacity.

I’ve been
taking Dr. Mercola’s H2 tablets for
a couple of years now. Recently upped the dose from one tablet first thing in
the morning to a second tablet around 3:00 p.m. Can’t make any health claims
but it does seem to give me a boost in the afternoon. I have some health
challenges and feel H2 is a significant part of my daily regimen. I personally
don’t take it before bed only because of the amount of water you have to drink.
Also, with the two cups of water, I take it on an empty stomach so it doesn’t
interfere with digestion. As for tinnnitus I have that too, and not sure it
helps with that.

Molecular Hydrogen Therapy [for most of humanity at this point] is
likely not on the CGIAR Reapers agenda. I usually take my H2 pre-bonded
with O as a hydrating molecule without splitting it out with electrolysis
first. Also more than 99 percent of the gas that people pass [as farts] consists
of just nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.... you've
been working hard on this site for a long time... 2018 comments... but

When should H2 be taken - morning, mid-day,
night, with food, how long before/after eating, with supplements, how long
before/after supplements? I'm hoping it will help with tinnitus which
varies in volume but seems worse when I got to bed (9pm).

I’ve been taking Dr. Mercola’s H2 tablets for a couple of years now.
Recently upped the dose from one tablet first thing in the morning to a
second tablet around 3:00 p.m. Can’t make any health claims but it does
seem to give me a boost in the afternoon. I have some health challenges and
feel H2 is a significant part of my daily regimen. I personally don’t take
it before bed only because of the amount of water you have to drink. Also,
with the two cups of water, I take it on an empty stomach so it doesn’t
interfere with digestion. As for tinnnitus I have that too, and not sure it
helps with that.

Hepatic Encephalopathy. Bingo. Since the
liver is so profoundly impacted by SARS-CoV-2 AND the gene therapy lipids
avec spike gravitate to liver .... You may have nailed the new Number ONE
long haul-vaccine injured therapy.

Thank you Dr Mercola, for this potentially
vital information in the aftermath of all things 'Covid' related. In UK, that
scam has denied millions of people proper medical care as efforts and
resources were diverted to everything from fraudulent testing, purchasing
ventilators, and many more harmful causes - to the execrable vax at the apex
of all of them. When enough of us worldwide have been sickened (either
literally or through awareness) by fake medical interventions, a new system
of 'health care' which really does care about peoples' health can arise. Many
of us are already looking beyond the old system. We desperately need various
ways to help the scam victims rid themselves of vax adverse effects, could
molecular hydrogen therapy be one of them?

There has been talk (auto industry) about clean
efficient energy for trucks/autos since the 1970's and before. The gasoline
industry had/has too much clout, so it came to just talk and nothing more. Unless they can make better batteries, they need to do something soon. The great fear is that we as individuals
can make it at home, so who needs the pumps, the wars, and the rest of
the BS that goes along with gasoline. You see, the oil companies make most of
their money today by plastic. Gasoline is just bonus money, if you want to
think of billions each year as JUST. The Oil industry makes well over
15billion per quarter and with 4 quarters a year, bonuses are high. Today's
Gasoline prices are making sure these oil guys are making big bonuses. So
don't look for hydrogen run vehicles anytime soon unless some of these
politicians get together and pull their heads out of the trough.

This seems complicated to obtain/use
molecular hydrogen.... where/how do we get hydrogen rich water?.... Dr.
Mercola, I hope you will eventually discuss (which I am sure you know about
but may not want to take the chance due to Big Pharmas control - they have
thrown in prison those who have treated and healed people with Chlorine
Dioxide. Read the book (free online) by Jim Humble called MMS Health Recovery Guidebook, here
is the link download it from here:
www.pdfdrive.com/mms-health-recovery-guide-book-e176061397.html
Also watch this film, it will blow your
mind the guy in the film Mark Grenon is in a Colombia prison because of
healing those who had the C-Flu: brandnewtube.com/watch/mms-documentary-quantum-leap-full-length_gt2scx.. These things you can obtain and use easily.
There would be no disease if people used
this.

I drank H2
water for about a year and felt nothing. But, recently bought a Browns gas
machine {H2 plus O2}, and did the inhalation. Felt effects the very first time.
The H2 inhalation had dampened my allergies more than anything I have done in a
long time. I am only using it 30 minutes/day, most recommend a minimum of an
hour/day. I am not impressed with the water, but ot saying it isn't good for
you, i is just that the inhalation seems to be more powerful. After reading
about H2 inhalation, I decided to give H2 a try again, after not feeling
anything with the water, and I am glad I did.
