Hello. This time, I would like to discuss how hydrogen is gaining attention and starting to be utilized in the medical field. Although hydrogen has been adopted by general households in Japan, its power is also being actively advanced through clinical research in medical settings.

In July 2024, the hydrogen inhaler introduced at our salon signed a joint research agreement with The Texas Heart Institute® (THI). This agreement was based on a request from THI to “test the use of hydrogen in organ transplantation,” and Japan’s cutting-edge equipment is being introduced in organ transplant research. Although the research is still in the experimental stage, the fact that a “joint research agreement has been signed with THI for the utilization of hydrogen in organ transplantation” is information that can be shared.

The same equipment is being extensively researched within Japan, and multiple papers based on joint research with Keio University School of Medicine have also been published. Furthermore, clinical research targeting hemodialysis patients is set to start at Yamaguchi University from January 2025.

Additionally, a clinical trial involving hydrogen inhalation for three weeks prior to surgery is scheduled to begin in December 2024 for patients undergoing liver cancer surgery.

Even now, some clinics in Japan administer treatments that combine hydrogen inhalation during vitamin IV drips or inject hydrogen directly into the vitamin drip. Some of my clients incorporate these methods to adjust their physical condition after flying.

The utilization of hydrogen in such medical settings should increase confidence in its safety and efficacy for those who already use hydrogen in their daily lives, as well as for those who wish to start. I hope that hydrogen will be useful for health maintenance across a wide range of fields, and that you will consider incorporating hydrogen as part of your daily routine. If you are interested, please consider integrating hydrogen into your daily health maintenance.
