ANECDOTE

From Chronic Illness To Discovery

  • Brad Pitzele developed autoimmune arthritis, melanoma, and Lyme disease after immune-suppressing meds and conventional treatments failed him.
  • He searched alternatives, found EWOT on a doctor's recommendation, and it became his turning point to recovery.
INSIGHT

How EWOT Mirrors Hyperbaric Effects

  • EWOT uses cardiovascular exercise plus near-pure oxygen to increase oxygen transfer into plasma, not just red blood cells.
  • A 15-minute EWOT session equals roughly 90 minutes in a hard-shell hyperbaric chamber for systemic oxygen delivery.
INSIGHT

Oxygen Reopens Microcirculation

  • Plasma-delivered oxygen reaches capillaries and cells red blood cells sometimes can't, reversing capillary microblockages and 'inflamaging.'
  • Restored oxygen shifts cells from inefficient anaerobic metabolism back to aerobic ATP production, improving function and detox.
