LiveO2 Therapy in Boise & Eagle
When oxygen levels are increased, the red blood cells and plasma pick up the extra oxygen, and provide it to our body tissues. Waste gases and toxins are removed more efficiently and cells begin to function normally. Anaerobic viruses, bacteria and fungi, unable to live in an oxygen – enriched environment, are compromised. Oxygen builds resistance to infections like yeast (candida albicans) that thrive in an oxygen deficient environment. Oxygen helps to neutralize acids in our body, like lactic acid resulting from muscle overload. Our body’s chemical reactions are “fired-up” due to the increased oxygen levels. We burn fat more efficiently. Sleep often improves. We feel better, our body is healthier and we think more clearly because of increased oxygenation.

Understanding LiveO2 Therapy
LiveO2 Therapy: Getting More Oxygen Into the Cells
LiveO2 therapy introduces a simple way of getting massive amounts of oxygen into the cells. In 15 minutes one can open the cells allowing them to detoxify as they gulp down higher levels of oxygen. All it involves is breathing high levels of oxygen while exercising. The higher oxygen level in the lungs creates a greater head of pressure to drive oxygen into the pulmonary capillaries. The exercise moves the circulation faster, ensuring a greater oxygen carriage throughout the body. Initially, the oxygen pressure in the veins rises, as more oxygen is getting through to the venous side, but it is this oxygen that allows the capillaries to repair the transfer mechanism.
We also use what is called adaptive contrast training where we simulate altitude training (Like training at 14,000ft elevation) with intervals which allows us to get vasodilation driving oxygen further into the cells.
LiveO2 therapy does everything that hyperbaric therapy (HBOT) does and more. HBOT does not reach the threshold of oxygen where a broad, deep, and quick anti-inflammatory effect occurs. Anti-inflammatory oxygen therapy is like putting out a candle flame with your fingers.
In the first 15 minute session (or let’s say first 3 sessions), the inflammation in the capillaries will begin to be lowered and a layer of toxins will be cleared. Oxygen will rush into the cells bringing the energy and the physiological processes necessary to heal. It used to be called Oxygen Multi Step Therapy or EWOT (Exercise with Oxygen Therapy), which would take as much as 32 hours to do what can be done in 15 minutes due to the amount of oxygen consumed with LiveO2 therapy.
Oxygen Multi Step Therapy was invented by Dr. Manfred von Ardenne of Germany. Dr. von Ardenne was one of Otto Warberg’s prize students. Warberg received the 1931 Nobel Prize for proving that cancer can only grow in an oxygen-starved environment. Cancer is anaerobic. Dr. von Ardenne went on to do approximately 150 studies combing exercise with extra oxygen.
The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce meaning the healthier we are. Oxygen is the source of life to all cells and therapy that focuses on providing high levels of oxygen to the capillary beds is extremely effective. Having a lack of oxygen causes impaired health or disease and death. This requirement for oxygen makes oxygen the most important supplement needed by the body. We simply cannot live without oxygen and yet achieve or maintain optimal health. Some doctors like Dr. Guyton go as far as saying, “All chronic pain, suffering, and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level.” What he did not say is low oxygen conditions lead directly to inflammation. Chronic inflammation mirrors our body’s low oxygen state.
Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to life threatening disease. Dr. Parris M. Kidd said, “Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system.”
How Oxygen Helps
- Increases stem cell growth
- Increases white blood cell production and strength
- Significantly shortens the inflammatory process
- Increases oxygen levels in tissues (hyperoxia)
- Significantly reduces swelling
- Significantly reduces edema
- Will improve range of motion
- Increases the production of collagen
- Increases growth of cells that form reparative tissue (fibroblastic proliferation)
- Supports scar tissue rehabilitation
- Promotes greater tissue strength
- Enhances the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
- Increases oxygen perfusion in the area around wounds
- Stimulates new capillary growth
- Improves the survival of tissues in the ‘grey area’ of crush injuries
- Increases production and improves the action of Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts
- Improves bone regeneration for faster recovery
- Helps prevent infection
- Enhances ability of white blood cells to remove bacteria and debris (leukocyte activity)
- Destroys harmful bacteria (Antimicrobial effect)
- Oxygenation positively affects the Blood Flow
- Destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, hepatitis, candidiasis (yeast overgrowth), parasitic infections, mycotoxicosis, etc.
- Stimulates the immune system (rheumatoid arthritis) rather than suppresses it.
- Improves blood circulation to the capillaries, decreases viscosity and separates the red blood cells; supports peripheral vascular diseases, arrhythmia.
- Can improve lung function and improves the ability of red blood cells to pass on oxygen to other tissue in emphysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis etc.
- Promotes anti-aging and rejuvenation by increasing oxygen delivery to cells, tissue and organs.
- Decreases inflammation.
- Reduces pain, relaxes tired muscles:fibromyalgia,
- Relieves stress and “burnout” – nerves are calmed.
- Speeds up the metabolic process (Improves circulation and nutrient delivery within the body) and results in a loss of 200 – 250 calories per session).
- Reverses hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the tissues – gangrene, diabetic infections, AIDS/HIV, etc.
- Detoxifies – reduces environmental toxin load and is esp. helpful with environmental hypersensitivity.
The position of the oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) is influenced directly by pH, core body temperature and carbon dioxide pressure. According to Dr. Warburg, it is the increased amounts of carcinogens, toxicity, and pollution that cause cells to be unable to uptake oxygen efficiently. This is connected with over-acidity, which itself is created principally under low oxygen conditions and thus under low bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels.
Oxygen-rich blood is one of the most important components for erectile health. Oxygen affects two substances that are important in achieving erection: Oxygen suppresses transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-B1). TGF-B1 is a component of the immune system called a cytokine and is produced by smooth muscle cells. It appears to stimulate collagen production in the corpus cavernosum, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.
Oxygen enhances the activity of prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 is produced during erection by the muscle cells in the penis. It activates an enzyme that initiates calcium release by the smooth muscle cells, which relaxes them and allows blood flow. Prostaglandin E1 also suppresses production of collagen.
Time Magazine wrote, “What makes cells age? Wear and tear, yes. But biologically, says, Dr. David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, its lack of oxygen that signals cells that it is their time to go. Without oxygen, the energy engines known as the mitochondria become less efficient at turning physiological fuel like glucose into the energy that the cells need to function. Eventually, they shut down.”
Mark Twain said, “Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Nobody enjoys the little signs of aging we see when looking in the mirror each morning. People spend billions of dollars a year on products and surgeries to help look and feel younger: hair re-growth products, dyes to hide the grey, anti-wrinkle face and eye creams, cosmetic injections, surgeries and more.
LiveO2 therapy actually raises the arterial oxygen pressure back to youthful levels brining levels of oxygen into the cells that have the power, not just to prevent aging, but also to push back on time. We can push back against death if we are at death’s door and we can regress our vascular age and thus actually get younger if we persist with our oxygen training.
Flooding the body with oxygen will have excellent results for eye problems as we age including cataracts (this is understandable, since the lens of the eye is known to be oxygen-deficient already). Other illnesses that benefit from Oxygen Therapy include senility, joint disturbances, liver and internal organ disturbances, infections, radiation exposure, late effects of strokes, poisonings, burns, and stress.
