[Increasing mental performance by multistep oxygen therapy. Computer-assisted measurements of information processing capacity, intelligence, short-term memory and further parameters of cerebral performance].

Several basic characteristics of mental capacity were measured on 59 patients by means of computer-based-methods before and after oxygen multistep therapy (O2-MT) and compared with the results obtained from 14 volunteers serving as controls. Before and without O2-MT, an appreciable, age-dependent decline of the short-term memory capacity (general fluid intelligence) was found. O2-MT, completed by brain jogging, effected a significant increase in the presence duration by 0.4-0.7 secs, in the information flow by 1.4-1.9 bit/sec, resulting in an increase in the short-term memory capacity by 19-23% (in two experimental groups). The short-term memory itself was, however, not improved as compared to the controls. Moreover, the times needed for the accomplishment of perception, interference and reaction tests became significantly shorter by 12-18%. By using the screening test for cerebral insufficiency (CI), which is based on these parameters, the suspicion of CI could be excluded in 18 of 59 patients.

[Double-blind study on the long-lasting improvement of physical endurance following oxygen-multistep-therapy].

The characteristic of Oxygen Multistep Therapy is the long-lasting improvement of the energetic or oxygenation state of the organism. This specific effect is confirmed with statistical significance by a two-centric double-blind study on 20 male healthy volunteers from the working population. In this study the ergometrically measurable increase of physical fitness, which was determined two weeks after performance of two 15 min-oxygen-multistep-quick processes, served as over-all criterion. The mean value of the continuing elevation was 17%. On individuals having initially lower physical capacities and therefore being particularly in need of treatment, increases of 25, 33, and even 45% were determined.
