The Evolution of EWOT

From Historical Roots to Modern Applications


  • A wide variety of illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, circulatory disorders, and mental illness, are sometimes related to oxygen deficiencies. Although not a cure, oxidative therapies generate more oxygen in the body and can contribute to the recovery of disease, as well as help to achieve optimum overall health and longevity.

Elite athletes understand that oxygen is an essential factor when it comes to maximizing their performance. They recognize the crucial role it plays in fueling their muscles, optimizing energy production, and sustaining their endurance.

It is this unwavering understanding of oxygen's importance that fuels the integration of Exercise with Oxygen Therapy into their regular fitness regimens.


Curious about the origins of EWOT? Dive into a comprehensive history of how EWOT came into existence and discover why it stands as an excellent choice for individuals seeking to improve their everyday well-being.

The History of EWOT

The true genesis of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy can be attributed to the work of Dr. Manfred von Ardenne, a German physicist and inventor. In the 1960s, Dr. von Ardenne was looking for ways to support his patients undergoing experimental cancer treatments.


In his pursuit, he explored the potential of combining increased oxygen levels with exercise to enhance energy and optimize cellular metabolism. His groundbreaking research undeniably proved the remarkable benefits of this simple yet highly effective combination treatment for patients.


Another significant observation: health and youthfulness are closely linked to high energy levels, whereas disease and old age are characterized by a lack of energy, which he referred to as "energy deficiency."


Inspired by this revelation, he devised protocols aimed at boosting oxygenation in patients. Through a combination of exercise, concentrated oxygen, and carefully chosen medications/vitamins, he introduced a comprehensive approach known as Oxygen Multistep Therapy.


Over time, this innovative therapy evolved into the widely recognized Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT), offering a holistic solution for optimizing oxygen levels and rejuvenating the body's vitality.


At the core of Dr. von Ardenne's work with EWOT lay a fundamental realization: energy production, specifically the creation of cellular ATP, is limited not by nutrient supply or food intake but by the oxygen transport to the tissues.

He had a deep understanding of oxygen's inherent significance as the life-sustaining force, without which all cells would cease to exist.


Remarkably, he observed that during the battle against disease or the effects of aging, the body's cells often suffered from oxygen deficiency, resulting in a subsequent lack of energy.

Benefits of EWOT: 

Manfred von Ardenne's Notable Insights

Dr. von Ardenne's groundbreaking research unveiled the profound benefits of EWOT in restoring diminished blood microcirculation within the endothelium and capillaries.


EWOT significantly enhanced oxygen delivery to endothelial cells. The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, plays a crucial role in lining all blood vessels and facilitating the vital exchanges between the bloodstream and the nearby tissues.

He observed the remarkable impact of this increased oxygen delivery on his patients’ health as they experienced increased energy levels and rapid cardiovascular system improvements compared to exercise alone.


In addition to these, patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, cancers, age-related illnesses, and diabetes experienced significant benefits when combining EWOT with standard medical treatment.


Dr. von Ardenne meticulously documented the lasting health advantages of EWOT by measuring the enduring increase in tissue oxygen utilization both at rest and during physical activity.


He also discovered the “switching mechanism" of blood microcirculation, which occurs within the endothelial cells of the body's capillaries.


This regulatory process is influenced by the cellular energy status, whether hyperoxic (increased oxygen levels) or hypoxic (reduced oxygen levels), and it exhibits a reversible nature. This effect is generally reversible.


Consequently, the blood microcirculation can be strengthened through positive effects, such as increasing oxygen levels, or compromised through negative effects, such as reducing oxygen levels.


Furthermore, Dr. von Ardenne observed that narrowed capillaries, resulting from oxygen deficiency due to various factors like stress, pain, old age, or sickness, can be widened through EWOT. This widening is attributed to increase in the blood oxygen levels and improvement in oxygen utilization of the tissues.


Resolving inflammation within the tissues facilitated greater oxygen influx into the cells, promoting aerobic metabolic pathways and increasing cellular ATP production. The resulting enhancement in the body's energy status fostered a state of improved health.


Dr. Manfred von Ardenne's development of EWOT revolutionized medical and health treatments, benefiting over 100,000 patients across Europe.


Unlike other therapies, EWOT combines the advantages of aerobic exercise and increased oxygenation in a simpler, time-efficient, and cost-effective manner. It offers unique benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength, stamina, and endurance.


During a 15-minute EWOT session, studies have shown significant improvements in microcirculation within the endothelium, resulting in reduced inflammation, increased capacity to eliminate metabolic wastes (such as lactic acid), and reduced tissue acidity.


Increased oxygenation aids in the healing of damaged endothelial cells and enhances cellular ATP synthesis. The more the ATP is, the more the energy available for executing all the physiological reactions needed for better health.

How EWOT Impacts Your Physiological Well-being 

  • Increased arterial partial pressure of oxygen: EWOT increases the resting arterial partial pressure of oxygen while reducing the resting venous partial pressure of oxygen in persons undergoing treatment. This can be equated to increased release of oxygen due to the pressure difference between the arterial and venous sides of the capillary. This pressure gradient is the driving force of oxygen delivery to the cells, tissues, and organs in the body.

  • Efficient lactic acid removal: The higher the pressure, the better the oxygen delivery to the body cells and better lactic acid removal.

  • Improved immune system function: EWOT enables the immune system to get to the problem areas in sick tissues more effectively, offering support for individuals with chronic diseases or aging-related conditions.

  • Decreased inflammation: By targeting blood vessels in the endothelium, EWOT helps reduce inflammation, potentially benefiting conditions like angina (chest pain due to reduced blood circulation to the heart), migraine headaches, and high blood pressure.

  • Improved oxygen utilization: The increased oxygen from EWOT optimizes oxygen utilization within muscles, joints, lungs, heart, brain, and other organs, addressing any conditions caused by oxygen deficiency.

  • Protection against cancer: Studies by Dr. von Ardenne suggest that EWOT can act as a protective measure against cancer by boosting immune functioning through increased oxygenation.

  • Weight management: As EWOT increases your energy levels without consuming any additional nutrients, you will feel less fatigued, and this will reduce your tendency to engage in rebound eating (a binge eating pattern that happens as a result of the fear of a sudden drop in energy).

  • Improved fat metabolism: EWOT enhances enzyme activity in cells, promoting better fat metabolism. This results in better utilization of fat as an energy source and effective fat burning.
