EWOT (EXERCISING WITH OXYGEN THERAPY)
WHAT IS EWOT?
EWOT involves breathing high levels of oxygen while doing light to moderate exercise. EWOT has been shown to raise VO2 Max, increase pulse oxygen levels and support the health and function of endothelial cells.
At Elevate Health, we use authentic EWOT masks and high flow oxygen concentrators like the ones used in German health studies.
WHAT DOES EWOT HELP WITH?
- Asthma sufferers
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Diabetics
- Un-healing wounds
- Chronic Fatigue
- Frequent flyers
- Brain fog, dementia, Traumatic brain injury
- Endurance athletes, raising VO2max
- Immune support
- Cardiac and circulatory disorders
- Oncology support
- Anti-aging
How Does it Work?
During EWOT, a higher oxygen level in the lungs creates more pressure to drive oxygen into pulmonary capillaries. Exercise expands arterioles and speeds circulation, boosting your oxygen carriage. Oxygen is carried by the blood to capillaries all over the body, where it diffuses through the capillary endothelial membrane into interstitial fluid and on to your cells. This oxygen diffusion happens through pressure, and an optimal arterial oxygen pressure is around 100mm (average 20 years old). With age and any factors that accelerate aging, arterial oxygen pressure decreases (average 70-year-old has 60s-70s mm arterial oxygen pressure). So, age and factors that accelerate age (smoking, toxic exposure, poor diet, inflammation, excessive stress, etcetera ) = less oxygen going to your cells. So, age and factors that accelerate age (smoking, toxic exposure, poor diet, inflammation, excessive stress, etcetera ) = less oxygen going to your cells.
This is part of why a cut heals rapidly in a child, but may fester and take a long time to heal in an older person. EWOT has been shown to increase arterial oxygen pressure back to healthy youthful levels, correct the oxygen transfer mechanisms and raise VO2max.
In addition to supporting healthy arterial oxygen pressure, EWOT helps repair dysfunctional swollen capillary endothelial cells back to normal size and function. Remember, oxygen diffuses through capillary endothelial membrane cells to the interstitial fluid to reach our cells. When the body is oxygen-deficient, endothelial cells swell, creating a vicious cycle, as the swelling prevents oxygen diffusion. EWOT helps repair this oxygen transfer mechanism. Research indicates that repeated administration of EWOT can lead to the lasting reduction of endothelial swelling and the promotion of peripheral circulation.
PERINEURIAL THERAPY FOR PAIN
Perineurial Therapy for Pain was discovered by Dr. John Lyftogt of New Zealand, is a ground-breaking treatment option for pain and musculoskeletal injuries including tendonitis, osteoarthritis, peripheral neuropathy, chronic regional pain syndrome, migraine, frozen shoulder, and other pain conditions. Perineurial Therapy involves subcutaneous injections of a dextrose (sugar) solution in sterile water along the nerve associated with pain. This treatment has not only reduced or eliminated pain in many patients but has also resulted in the healing and regeneration of tissue.
Perineurial Therapy is a new treatment still being researched, but showing great promise in the area of non-invasive pain control and regenerative medicine. The number of treatments varies from patient to patient, but an average regimen is 6-8 treatments in 6-12 weeks.
Dr. Allison Gandre has completed advanced courses in Neural Prolotherapy with Dr. Lyftogt and is a certified practitioner of the Lyftogt technique of neural prolotherapy.
Local Regional Hyperthermia with Thermofield
Thermofield Hyperthermia is a groundbreaking medical device with enormous potential to improve cancer treatment. By sending large amounts of electromagnetic energy deep into targeted tissue, it can safely elevate tumor temperatures to levels above 114 degrees Fahrenheit, the heat level shown in peer-reviewed research to destroy cancer cells and stimulate a significant increase in heat shock proteins. Cancer cells have dysfunctional metabolism and cannot dispel heat the way our healthy cells can, so they compound heat, weakening them and creating a surge in heat shock proteins. The surge in extracellular heat shock proteins stimulates the immune system to launch a persistent attack against the tumor.
Uses of Local Hyperthermia with Thermofield include :
- Adjunctive Cancer Treatment
- Reducing pain
- Treating Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
- Pelvic Floor/Vaginal/urogenital rejuvenation
How Does Targeted Hyperthermia Benefit Cancer Treatment?
- Triggers the immune system to recognize and fight cancer
- Alters the tumor microenvironment making cancer cells more vulnerable to all therapies, integrative and standard of care.
- Improves Chemotherapy Efficacy up to 500%, improves radiation efficacy up to 300%
- Induces Cancer Cell Apoptosis (cell death)
- Reduces cancer pain by reducing pressure on adjacent nerve tissue
- Reduces drug resistance, has been shown to reverse drug resistance
- Shrinks tumors making them easier to remove surgically
Treatment
Treatments tend to be well tolerated and comfortable, lasting 45 minutes for cancer treatment.
A typical treatment regimen is 2-3 x a week for 2 months or longer. Ideally, synergistic anti-cancer treatments are given during or immediately after the hyperthermia treatment.
Hyperthermia has proven synergistic with:
- Mistletoe Therapy
- IV Vitamin C
- HBOT
- Quercetin
- Photodynamic Therapy
- Radiation
- Chemotherapy
- Immunotherapy
The Thermofield is not yet FDA approved for the treatment of any condition. There are no guarantees of benefit or treatment response.

Relax Sauna Treatment
The Relax Sauna is used in Cancer Clinics while doing IV Therapy. A cancer clinic in Washington uses the Relax Sauna while doing IV therapy on many of their patients. They are able to increase the core temperature to 102.8 degrees in 1 hour. Other clinics use the Relax Sauna for 5-7 minutes before doing IV Therapy when they have trouble getting the needles into the veins.
THE RELAX SAUNA is effective, Safe, durable and convenient using advanced technology, the Relax Sauna radiators shine 1500 watts of FIR energy against the back wall of the silver tent, which acts as a mirror. At 186,000 miles per second, within 1 second, the Relax Sauna light energy creates a feeling of being immersed in a healing FIR Light box with NO EMF (no electricity) above the calves. The little bit of neutral EMF coming from the radiator (by the feet) is antidoted by the powerful healing effects of the Relax Far infrared Energy. (Cell phone, Wi-Fi routers & smart meters emit microwaves, which is considered “dangerous” EMF, as compared to “neutral “EMF. from household apliances.)
Relax. Far Infrared Energy Penetrates deeper than Near-Infrared Saunas.
Study also shows Relax Sauna Energy far more effective in Increasing Microcirculation Research (on pubmed.com) compares The Relax Far infrared 150 watt radiator to a 250 Watt Phillips Near Infrared Heat Lamp. They concluded Far Infrared was FAR MORE EFFECTIVE in increasing Microcirculation & Penetrating DEEPLY into Human Tissue.
Pulsating the water molecules in your body creates a Dynamic Cascading effect of…
- Increasing Core Temperature (killing Lyme Spirochetes, pathogens, viruses, etc)
- Mobilizing the lympathic System (detoxifying heavy metals, Dioxins, Phylates, metabolic waste)
- Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System (producing deep Profound Relaxation)
- Activating Mitochondria to produce ATP & Nitric Oxide (enhancing oxygenation of body)
- Increasing Microcirculation (ameliorating diabetic ulcers, scar tissue, neuropathy, Reynaud’s)
