Are you actively searching for proven ways to mitigate chronic inflammation, boost recovery, or support neurological health? At True Health DPC, we offer molecular hydrogen  H₂ inhalation therapy—a science-backed wellness modality—to patients in Silverton, Oregon, and the neighboring Salem, Oregon area.

As a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, our focus is on root-cause resolution, and molecular hydrogen is a powerful tool we use to address the underlying drivers of chronic health issues: oxidative stress and inflammation.

The therapeutic potential of inhaled molecular hydrogen is supported by thousands of preclinical and numerous clinical studies since 2007. The benefits are not general; they are rooted in H₂s unique ability to influence cellular signaling and selectively neutralize the most damaging free radicals.

Unlike many common antioxidants that neutralize both harmful and beneficial free radicals indiscriminately, molecular hydrogen is highly selective.

• Targeted Neutralization: H2 targets and neutralizes the most destructive Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)—specifically the hydroxyl radical (.OH) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-)—which are implicated in widespread cellular damage and chronic disease pathology.

• Preserves Cellular Signaling: Crucially, H2 spares the milder, beneficial ROS (like hydrogen peroxide, H2O2) that are essential for normal cell signaling, immune defense, and gene expression.

For those searching for hydrogen therapy for inflammation, H2 offers a direct pathway to regulation. Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a known mediator in everything from joint pain to cardiovascular disease.

• Cytokine Modulation: Studies show that H2 can suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1 beta, effectively calming an overactive immune response.

• Citation for Authority: (Molecular Hydrogen Therapy—A Review on Clinical Studies, MDPI)

• Conditions Supported: This anti-inflammatory action makes H2 a compelling complementary therapy for conditions like arthritis, metabolic syndrome, and chronic respiratory issues (like COPD).

H2's small size allows it to effortlessly cross the blood-brain barrier, a rare trait among therapeutic compounds. This capability is key to its neuroprotective and mood-regulating effects.

• Brain Inflammation & Stress: Preclinical research suggests H2 can mitigate inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, pathways linked to mood disorders and neurodegenerative conditions.

• Anxiety and Mood: Clinical data, including a randomized, controlled trial on women with panic disorder, indicates that hydrogen-rich water may offer additional benefits—specifically reducing inflammation markers and physical complaints—when combined with psychological treatment.

Beyond inflammation, molecular hydrogen has demonstrated a role in improving basic physiological functions:

• Mitochondrial Support: It helps protect the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse) from damage, leading to improved energy production and reduced fatigue.

• Cardiovascular Health: Research points to benefits in improving lipid profiles and vascular function, key factors in heart health.

To maximize the systemic benefits across all tissues and organs, we primarily use Molecular Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy at our Silverton clinic.

1. High-Purity Delivery: You relax comfortably while inhaling a precisely controlled, safe concentration of H2 gas (typically below the flammable threshold).
2. Optimal Absorption: Inhalation is highly efficient, allowing the H2 to rapidly diffuse from the lungs into the bloodstream, reaching the heart, brain, and all organ systems quickly.
3. Personalized Protocol: As a DPC physician-led practice, we design a customized protocol for you, determining the ideal duration and frequency of sessions based on your specific health goals and any underlying chronic conditions.

A primary concern for patients is safety. Rest assured, molecular hydrogen has a remarkably favorable safety profile.

• Non-Toxic: H2 is not a foreign substance; it is produced naturally by beneficial bacteria in the human gut.

• Minimal Side Effects: In the clinical setting, H2 inhalation is generally considered safe. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the clinical trials reviewed.
  

• Citation for Trust: (Molecular Hydrogen Therapy—A Review on Clinical Studies, PMC)

• Our Expert Oversight: Your therapy is always administered under the guidance of our qualified DPC Physician, ensuring it is a safe and appropriate complement to your overall health plan.

• Backed by over 1,700 studies and 81+ clinical trials, H₂ therapy offers potent benefits.

Pioneer researcher Dr. Shigeo Ohta notes H₂'s potential as an effective antioxidant for brain damage and beyond. Reviews emphasize its role in reducing disease severity through selective ROS targeting.
