Protocol Summary for Healthcare Professionals
A clinical overview of My Hydrogen Protocol for provider review.
To the Healthcare Professional: Your patient is considering starting My Hydrogen Protocol (also known as the Official Hydrogen Man Protocol), via My Hydrogen Protocol App. This document provides an overview of the program's core components so you can accurately assess its safety and suitability based on your patient's specific health history, medications, and medical conditions.
Protocol Overview
The protocol is a structured, lifestyle-based system built on three foundational pillars: Water, Nutrition, and Movement. It is highly customizable, allowing users to select their level of implementation based on their health capacity.
1. Water & Hydrogen Intake (Hydration Pillar)
- Water Source: The protocol utilizes exclusively distilled water (wherever possible).
- Molecular Hydrogen Infusion: The distilled water is infused with molecular hydrogen gas using a specialized machine (Lourdes Hydrofix). The machine produces hydrogen through electrolysis and delivers it both dissolved in water and as inhalable gas.
- Intake Volume & Timing: Patients are instructed to drink large boluses of hydrogen water at specific times (e.g., 0.5 to 1 liter consumed rapidly in one sitting, up to three times a day). The maximum recommended daily water intake on this protocol is approximately 1 gallon (3.75 liters).
- Inhalation: The protocol also involves inhaling molecular hydrogen gas via a nasal cannula for 30 to 90 minutes daily (or longer), especially while consuming meals.
-
Trace Mineral Supplementation: Because distilled water removes naturally occurring minerals, the protocol reintroduces them through:
- Shilajit resin (Pure Black brand) — approximately 85 ionic minerals and trace elements including fulvic acid, dissolved in hydrogen water each morning
- Concentrated ionic mineral drops (Concentrace brand) — added to smoothies
- The protocol does not rely on the water itself for mineral intake
2. Dietary Guidelines (Nutrition Pillar)
- Core Diet: The baseline diet is high-fiber, relying almost exclusively on raw, whole, organic foods. Daily intake typically includes: a dense daily smoothie (dark leafy greens, sprouts, berries, seeds, nuts, supplemental powders) and a large evening salad (lettuces, sprouted seeds, sauerkraut, beans).
- Customization & Meat Consumption: While the standard protocol restricts animal products, processed foods, bread, sugar, and added salts/oils, it is highly customizable. Patients may modify the diet to include moderate amounts of clean proteins such as beef, chicken, eggs, fish, and bone broth. If a patient requires a low-carbohydrate approach, they are encouraged to reduce specific fruits and beans and supplement daily protein needs with meat. Pork and shellfish are strictly avoided.
- Specific Supplementation: Daily supplementation includes: Trace minerals (shilajit resin and concentrated drops), Vitamin D3 with K2, Chlorella or spirulina, Boron, Hemp hearts (protein and omega fatty acids).
- Eating Pattern: Structured eating window. No snacking between meals is permitted. The morning smoothie serves as the primary caloric intake, followed by an evening salad. Coffee (organic only) is permitted after the smoothie, with no added creamers or sugars. Raw, unpasteurized, organic honey is the only permitted sweetener, used sparingly.
3. Physical Activity (Movement Pillar)
The protocol requires a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of continuous, steady walking daily, preferably outdoors. Casual movement around the home does not satisfy this requirement. The emphasis is on sustained, uninterrupted ambulation for circulatory and lymphatic benefit.
4. Key Clinical Considerations for the Provider
1. Renal Function
Due to the requirement to consume large, rapid boluses of water (up to approximately 1 gallon/day), this protocol may be contraindicated for patients with kidney disease or those on fluid-restricted regimens. Rapid water consumption in large volumes carries inherent risks that should be evaluated against the patient's renal capacity.
2. Medication Interactions
The sudden increase in dietary fiber, raw vegetables, and rapid fluid intake may alter gastric motility and the absorption rates of certain oral pharmaceutical prescriptions. Patients transitioning to this diet should be monitored for changes in medication efficacy, particularly for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows.
3. Mineral/Electrolyte Balance
As the patient is consuming distilled water, trace minerals are manually added back via supplementation. Please review the supplementation protocol to ensure this aligns with any necessary dietary or health restrictions. Of particular note: the protocol includes boron supplementation, which may be relevant for patients on certain medications.
4. Detoxification Effects
The protocol's combination of high fiber intake, increased water consumption, and hydrogen supplementation may accelerate the body's natural elimination processes. Patients may experience temporary changes in bowel frequency and consistency during the initial adjustment period.
5. Vitamin D Supplementation
The protocol includes daily Vitamin D3 with K2 supplementation. Please verify this does not conflict with the patient's existing supplementation or medication regimen, and that levels are appropriate given the patient's baseline Vitamin D status.
