What is ZHT?

Zhou’s Hypoxicology Therapy (ZHT) was pioneered/developed by Dr. Jin Zhou, DC in 2004. It is a new clinical concept of etiology, pathophysiology and clinical therapy, which identifies Trachea Caudal Displacement (TCD) induced chronic intermittent hypoxia through Silent Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (SUARS) and Frequent & Recurrent Upper Airway Collapse Syndrome (FRUACS) as a new fundamental physio-pathological mechanism, as one of the main causes, for mild to moderate but prolonged hypoxia for most illness & diseases.

Dr. Jin Zhou also developed an innovative clinical therapy to eliminate TCD and chronic intermittent hypoxia, to enhance or optimize human innate immune functions by employing human upper airway defensive reflexes and volitional resuscitation inherited or observed from autoresuscitation or spontaneous recovery.

ZHT is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical and manual therapy that can be used to benefit most clinical conditions.

ZHT was developed based on current and latest scientific research findings on vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), silent upper airway resistance syndrome, sleep apnea, sleep disordered breathing, as well as chronic intermittent hypoxia.

Hypoxia (mild oxygen deprivation) has been identified as the main cause of almost every major illness. Hypoxia has been called the “Hidden and invisible Killer”. Dr. Zhou’s Hypoxicology Therapy (ZHT) is a simple but powerful technique. This is a revolutionary, non-surgical and non-invasive therapy with unprecedented clinical results in less than 5 - 20 minutes, measurable results with pulse oximeter in 5-10 minutes.

ZHT provides for immediate relief without any need of equipment, breathing device(s) and/or supplement oxygen. ZHT is not for severe hypoxia. However, because it opens up the upper airway, it provides powerful and fast relief for mild hypoxia, the most mysterious cause of illness.

When the ZHT Technique is used in conjunction with standard, conventional medical care & chiropractic therapy, it can provide unprecedented clinical results.
