Pneumonia Treatment

Pneumonia is a common illness affecting approximately half a billion people a year. It is a major cause of death resulting in 4 million deaths (7% of the world's total death) a year. Pneumonia is the single largest infectious cause of death in children worldwide, as it is responsible for 16% of all deaths of children under 5 years old. It occurs all over the world, though it is most prevalent in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, due to poor conditions and lack of medical treatment.

​

Treatment with the ZMedicAir device has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of pneumonia and to significantly shortened recuperation time.

What is Pneumonia?

  • Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs to fill up with fluid or pus, which reduces the patient's lung capacity. Pneumonia mostly develops as a complication of upper respiratory tract infection that spreads into the lower respiratory tract. In most cases pneumonia is bacterial, but can also be viral or fungal.

  • The susceptibility of a person to pneumonia and the severity of its symptoms depends on the source of the infection, the age of the patient, when the very young (less that 2 years old) and very old (more than 65 years old) are the most at risk. Existing health conditions also represent risk factors, such as: living choices and conditions such as smoking, alcoholism, lung conditions like: asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), weak immune system as a result of HIV or chemotherapy, diabetes and so on. In addition, there is higher probability of contracting pneumonia in hospitals and by being put on a ventilator. 

Pneumonia Symptoms

Bacterial and viral pneumonia has ​similar symptoms, though in some cases there are symptoms that are distinct. 

​

Common symptoms:

  • a 'wet' cough

  • fever

  • chills

  • trouble breathing

  • chest pain

  • muscle ache

 

Complications in children can result in:

  • convulsions

  • vomiting

  • decreased consciousness 

​

Pneumonia Treatment Complications

  • Untreated, pneumonia can result in serious complications as well as in death, when the most vulnerable are children and the elderly. 

  • Treatment of pneumonia is complicated by the difficulty to diagnose it or isolate its direct causes. There is difficulty even to decipher whether it's caused by bacteria or viruses. As a result, misdiagnose and mistreatment are common.

  • In addition, more and more drug-resistant strains of pneumonia- inducing bacteria have appeared, rendering antibiotic treatment useless.

ZMedicAir Pneumonia Treatment

Short term effect- within minutes to hours

Pneumonia patients have reported on feeling immediate relief upon breathing the singlet oxygen-enriched air produced by the ZMedicAir device. Their breathing became easier and they had increased energy.

​

Long term effect- within a day to three days

Patients have reported on significant improvement in all symptoms they have been experiencing within a day- the cough and phlegm are reduced, chest and muscle pains are eased significantly. Most importantly, the recovery time from pneumonia, that can take several weeks, was significantly shortened. 

​

The moderation of the medicinal treatment required, when combined with our treatment, is to be researched in the near future.
