Our diserytherefore refers to the reversibility offundamental, natural mechanism whichoccurs in all capillaries of the human body,and also to the recognition and proof that thebasis of this mechanism is formed by a feedbacksystem with switching properties, whichleads to the persistence of the bioenergeticallytriggered effect.As has been mentioned above, the ba ic effect,the increase in the P02-art or in the oxygentransport to the body tissue, has unfortunatelybeen called into question by two studie madein foreign institutes with small numbers of patients,e.g. [91]. Since these negative findingsmet with an extraordinary response in variousmedical journals, centers in Dresden andelsewhere, which had been practising the 02MTfor some time, carried out studies with largenumbers of patients into the question of theincrease or non-increase in the P0 2 _ artby meanof 02MT. The positive and evidential result ofthese studies are given in Fig. 43 and Table 4We should refer here to the works of Caspe.[93, 94], in which it is established using 108cure patients that 18 months after 02MT amean increase in the resting P02_art of 6 mmHg(0.7 kPa) still exists, as compared with the pretherapylevel.e 4Results of 12 studies into the lasting increase of the arterial P0 2(tP02-ar ), at rest, by means of 02MTdies, authors no. of patients toP02-art [mmHg] time(mean age)3rd German editionof this bookp.35.37p.37.38p.38p.39p.44p.67p.317f rther studiesCaspers 1985olf 1985olte 1980von ArdenneLippmannseveral sanatoriavon ArdenneWolf10 clinicsvon Ardennevon ArdenneSchnizer (Fulgum)19811982 (!)8 (72 years)43 (64 years)30 (59 years)13 (59 years)108 (67 years)1407 (69 years)5 (- 60 years)15 (58 years)3827938 (67 years)88 (62 years)22 (62 years)22 (also after 30 days)14 (after 90 days)13 (after 50 days)18 (after some days)19 (after some days)12 (after> 30 days)16 (after some days)4 (after> 1 day) 1o9,4 (after> 1 day)13 (after> 1 day)14 (after> 1 day) 1o (failure to reach switching threshold):ti:',.E!!E!r:!!i~on!!.:2682 (I) toPa02 = 14 mmHg (!) or 1,8 kPa11 studies1 study (Nolte) 22 ~ = 0 mmHgverage lowering of the P0 2- ven(flP02_ven), at rest, in these studies was -10,3 mmHg (v.A.) or -15 mmHgment of the effectiveness of the 02MT without including measurements of the changes occuringvenous Po is not possible I This basic principle was ignored by some authors (Nolte, Hendrik,in false assessments of effectiveness.ulti~
