Will LiveO2 help dementia?

This is a fre­quent ques­tion — which we can­not answer. See the LiveO2 Intend­ed Use State­ment.

LiveO2 is not mar­ket­ed as a med­ical device. LiveO2 is not intend­ed to treat, cure, mit­i­gate, or pre­vent any med­ical con­di­tion or disease.

The infor­ma­tion below is intend­ed to guide you to rel­e­vant sci­en­tif­ic pub­li­ca­tions that may help you.

Our ques­tions are intend­ed to help you devel­op an informed opin­ion about the rela­tion­ship between oxy­gen and the med­ical con­di­tion. This infor­ma­tion is intend­ed for edu­ca­tion­al pur­pos­es only.

Do therapies known to increase the oxygen level in the brain help dementia?

These peer-reviewed papers gath­er infor­ma­tion on hyper­bar­ic oxy­gen ther­a­py, a med­ical pro­ce­dure rel­a­tive to dementia.

The spe­cif­ic ques­tion: Is hyper­bar­ic ther­a­py ben­e­fi­cial to indi­vid­u­als with dementia?

• Live Search of PubMed for hyper­bar­ic and demen­tia — 59 results.
• Research paper by Man­fred von Ardenne illus­trat­ing the cog­ni­tive improve­ment in old­er test subjects.

The list of ref­er­ences mod­est­ly sup­ports the asser­tion that high-oxy­gen ther­a­py tends to improve demen­tia when used alone. This sug­gests the dom­i­nant cause of demen­tia is not chron­ic brain hypox­ia and the dom­i­nant fac­tor is accu­mu­la­tion of envi­ron­men­tal tox­ins in CNS tissue. 

Research that cor­re­lates the roles of var­i­ous tox­ins in dementia:

• Envi­ron­men­tal risk fac­tors for demen­tia: a sys­tem­at­ic review
• Chron­ic expo­sure to alu­minum and risk of Alzheimer’s dis­ease: A meta-analy­sis

Is low oxygen in the brain a factor in the progression of dementia?

If oxy­gen defi­cien­cy accel­er­ates the pro­gres­sion of a med­ical con­di­tion then the main­te­nance of a ele­vat­ed lev­el of oxy­gen may inhib­it progression.

Here are some live search­es and research data which may help you answer this question:

• Pro­tec­tive Effect of Hyper­bar­ic Oxy­gen Ther­a­py on Cog­ni­tive Func­tion in Patients with Vas­cu­lar Dementia

The paper that indi­cates that Hyper­bar­ic Oxy­gen Ther­a­py has a pro­tec­tive effect sug­gests that peri­od­ic expo­sure of high oxy­gen may help pro­tect the brain. 

What other factors should I research?

The Envi­ron­men­tal Risk Fac­tors paper sup­ports that demen­tia tends to be asso­ci­at­ed with a spec­trum of toxins. 

The paper specif­i­cal­ly rec­og­nizes accu­mu­la­tion of Alu­minum, Arsenic, Lead as well as organ­ic tox­ins in the brain. 

The appar­ent weak response of the dis­ease con­di­tion to hyper­bar­ic oxy­gen ther­a­py sug­gests that the pri­ma­ry objec­tive of ther­a­py should focus on detox­i­fi­ca­tion and that oxy­gen’s main role is to sup­port detoxification. 

We have addressed this sup­port­ing rela­tion­ship as the Brain Fusion Detox­i­fi­ca­tion Pro­gram where oxy­gen is used to accel­er­ate detoxification.
