A recent study into the development of new drugs against cancer has an interesting finding. Professor Diether Lambrechts and Dr. Bernard Thienpont (VIB/KU Leuven) have shown that by targeting cancer cells with oxygen you are able to inhibit their growth.
“We can make predictions about the progress of cancer and it’s possible treatments by monitoring the oxygen supply to tumors, ” said Dr. Thienpont. “It is possible to optimize existing treatments through increased oxygen. Not only can the chemotherapy be effective, but introducing oxygen to the tumor can help. This can be used to combat aggressive relapses”.
Dr. Peter Zoo has over 25 years experience with the use of oxygen to eliminate harmful bacteria and promote healing of wounds in the mouth. Dr. Blijdorp used this technology in various oral care products including toothpaste, mouthwash and oral gel. The oral gel with a high concentration of oxygen is used to include gingivitis and periodontitis and peri-implantitis and large wounds in the mouth. The oral gel eliminates harmful bacteria, prevents and reduces inflammation and speeds up the healing process.
The vision of BlueM is based on the action of active oxygen in the mouth. A healthy mouth is essential for a healthy body. – Oxygen for health!
