What is ZHT?    Development History    Clinical Applications    Supporting Research

Clinical Applications

Because ZHT (Zhou's Hypoxicology Therapy) is a procedure based on trachea caudal displacement and hypoxia, its application is very broad. It is not mainly developed to fight symptoms or diagnoses; it is designed to improve and optimize body's own resperation (use respiration) and basic physiological functions.

ZHT can be used clinically for chronic pain syndromes, fatigue, sleep apnea, asthma, fibromyalgia, headaches, and many other medical conditions.

Zhou's Hypoxicolgy Therapy (ZHT): Maximally establishing or opening the upper airway (vocal cords and trachea) through physical manipulation and guided patient exercises, to maximize and restore respiration through maximizing and optimizing respiratory ventilation and perfusion using the body’s own upper airway defense reflexes, such as swallowing and cough augmentation.

Although this new ZHT is NOT for severe hypoxia, through opening up upper airway and eliminating upper airway obstruction or resistance and employing upper airway defensive reflexes, it provides the most powerful and fast relief for mild hypoxia, the most mysterious cause of many illnesses . Hypoxia has been called as "Hidden Killer" by Federal Aviation Administration, and new data indicates drowsiness due to apnea and hypoxia may be the cause of billions of dollars worth of injury and destruction annually on highways. ZHT, used in conjunction with acupuncture and chiropractic therapy, can provide unprecedented clinical results.

ZHT is not recommended or used to replace, delay, interfere with standard medical care. Any medical or healthcare practioner is advised to follow applicable state laws and professional standards. as well as standards of medical care in your community.

An overlooked, underlying cause of hypoxia and obstructive sleep apnea is (insert) Trachea Caudal Displacement (TCD), which is an effective upper airway length reduction due to the downward intrusion of the trachea into the upper thorax due to undetermined causes, likely including gravity, obesity, and loss of strength in the suspending musculature.

Tracheal Caudal Displacement (TCD) may present as:

• Nasal Obstruction
• Diaphragm and Respiratory Muscle Malfunction
• Hypoxia and Apnea
• Multiple System Malfunction and Dysfunction
• Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)
• Psychogenic Vocal Cord Dysfunction
• Exertional Vocal Cord Dysfunction
• Environmental Vocal Cord Dysfunction
• Occupational Vocal Cord Dysfunction
• Sleep Apnea/upper airway collapsing
• Trachea Subluxation-Deviation & Scoliosis
• Upper Airway Length Reduction- Tracheal Caudal Displacement
