ANECDOTE

Garage-Built Cure Jumpstarts A Business

  • Brad Pitzele built a crude EWOT system in his garage after conventional drugs failed him and it improved his Lyme symptoms over months.
  • A rheumatologist asked Brad to make systems for patients, which led him to commercialize affordable EWOT in 2018.
INSIGHT

Reservoir Solves High-Flow Oxygen Problem

  • EWOT uses an oxygen concentrator to purify ambient air up to ~93% and stores it in a large reservoir for high-flow breathing during exercise.
  • Using a reservoir avoids impractical high-flow tanks and hazards of compressed oxygen while delivering the needed 50–60 L/min during workouts.
ANECDOTE

Near-Complete Recovery From Lyme Symptoms

  • After months of EWOT and lifestyle changes, Brad reports being 98–99% better from Lyme-related symptoms like brain fog and fatigue.
  • He still notes occasional minor flares but considers himself far healthier and more energetic than before.
