The present invention relates to the field of
medicine, and more particularly to restorative
medicine. It can be used to enhance a person's adaptive capabilities through
exposure of the body to a hypoxic effect. The method is carried out during the first half of the day. It is essential that
oxygen saturation and
heart rate are measured continuously up to and during
exposure to the effect. A hypoxic gas mixture having an
oxygen concentration of up to 16% is fed to the patient, wherein a feed rate of 45-52 l / min is maintained for an
exposure time of 3 minutes.
Hydrogen for
inhalation is then fed continuously via a nasal cannula while the feed rate of the hypoxic mixture is reduced to 20 l / min for a period of from 5 to 10 min. When saturation decreases to 80%, the
oxygen concentration is automatically increased to 21% until the patient's
oxygen saturation and
heart rate reach their initial values. The duration of a single procedure, including alternating
breathing of the gas mixture and the mixture with
hydrogen, is 40-60 minutes, wherein a single procedure consists of 4-5 cycles. Between 10 and 21 procedures are performed at one day intervals. The method enhances the adaptive restorative capability of the body without inducing side effects.
