Magnesium-oxygen therapy according to Prof. Leninger-Follert
Disorders of Microcirculation
Many chronic diseases are accompanied by impaired blood flow, which subsequently leads to a lack of vital oxygen in cells, tissues, and organs. It also restricts the supply of important nutrients and the removal of metabolic waste products. This can result in extensive deficiency symptoms and serious health problems.
In particular, microcirculation, which is the supply of tissue through the body’s smallest blood vessels, is impaired in such cases. The lack of oxygen in the tissues subsequently leads to a disruption in the respiratory chain and a reduced production of energy in the mitochondria.
Without sufficient energy, our body can only function at a minimal level, and important functions are sometimes severely restricted. Precisely where our body relies on sufficient energy production, we feel the consequences of oxygen deficiency very clearly: in the brain and muscles.
Typical clinical pictures where these microcirculatory disorders are causative or part of the disease include:
- Long COVID and Post-Vac
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
- General chronic fatigue or weakness
- Mitochondrial diseases
- Vascular diseases / circulatory disorders / diabetic ulcers
- Dementias (certain forms)
- Fibromyalgia
Even in cancer, an improvement in microcirculation can be very beneficial. Disruptions in tissue microcirculation lead to oxygen deficiency in the affected body regions. The tissues switch their metabolism to fermentation (without oxygen) and become acidic (= Warburg Effect).
This aggressive metabolic behavior enables cancer cells to divide and spread rapidly even under oxygen deficiency, and the deficiency can also promote the detachment of cancer cells for metastasis formation.
The Magnesium-Oxygen Therapy
To break through this chronic microcirculation disorder, a defined dose of magnesium is injected intravenously within a very specific time frame. This leads to a sudden opening of the finest blood vessels in the tissues and a significant improvement in oxygen supply. Patients can feel this, as these tissues briefly warm up noticeably.
Subsequently, pure oxygen is inhaled for approximately 30 minutes via a nasal cannula, which is then transported into the smallest vessels and supplies the tissues with sufficient oxygen.
Through continuous therapy, microcirculatory disorders can be eliminated. Depending on the individual clinical picture, an ongoing series of treatments over several weeks to months is usually required to achieve sustainable and stable improvement. These can be applied several times a week, and in acute situations, even twice daily.
Discovery of Magnesium-Oxygen Therapy
In July 1983, more than 40 years ago, Prof. Dr. med. Elfriede Leniger-Follert, then a basic researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Systems Physiology in Dortmund, discovered the mechanism of impaired microcirculation in a variety of chronic diseases.
Since establishing her practice in January 1993 as a specialist in Internal Medicine and Angiology, she has successfully used this procedure for numerous diseases with impaired microcirculation as a complementary measure to conventional medicine – and continues to do so to this day.
Right at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in early 2021, she successfully applied this therapy to patients with Long COVID, as it quickly became clear that this clinical picture also largely involves microcirculatory disorders.
