In my practice, the main consistent benefit of using a Hypoxicator is improved energy levels.
Judith (not her real name) was one of the first people to complete the course of IHT at the clinic. She was generally healthy but suffered from high blood pressure (which tended to always be a little high even with medication), some asthma, fatigue and insomnia. Although she exercised regularly at the gym three to four times a week and played golf at least twice a week, she often felt extremely tired, after even moderate exercise. After golf she always felt really exhausted and wondered if it was a symptom of menopause. Seeing octogenarians skip up the steps to the clubhouse, she wondered why she felt so tired when she looked so healthy. Her gym sessions left her feeling really tired for about two hours.
After completing 16 sessions of IHT, Judith finds she can do her exercise at a more intense level than she could previously, and without any subsequent fatigue. She says: “My energy and performance levels have increased to a marked degree. Even after extreme effort I am not as tired. I recently spent a few days cross-country skiing at a high altitude. Previously, it would have taken a couple of days for me to acclimatise. After having IHT I found I did not experience the usual headaches or tiredness. I also slept better than I did at altitude.”
Also, throughout the period of having IHT, Judith monitored her blood pressure. Previously it was difficult to stabilise and tended to be 145/95 or sometimes up to 155/100. Now it is consistently lower, at around 125/80 to 135/85, with fewer fluctuations.
