[Everything doTERRA] Re: hypoxia

I found this really old thread looking for answers to a friend's question about her husband's own issues with anoxia.  He apparently has blood clots to the brain resulting from a surgery.  Any new thoughts on this would be appreciated.

My youngest daughter has hypoxia.

From Google it is defined as:
Condition in which tissues are starved of oxygen. The extreme is
anoxia (absence of oxygen). There are four types: hypoxemic, from low
blood oxygen content (e.g., in altitude sickness); anemic, from low
blood oxygen-carrying capacity (e.g., in carbon monoxide poisoning);
distributive, from low blood flow (e.g., generally in shock or locally
in atherosclerosis); and histotoxic, from poisoning (e.g., with
cyanide) that keeps cells from using oxygen. If not reversed quickly,
hypoxia can lead to necrosis (tissue death), as in heart attack.

Hypoxia means a shortage of oxygen — as compared to anoxia, which
means a total lack of it. In common with other mammals, humans have
evolved with a system of breathing and blood circulation, which allows
intake of oxygen from the air and its transport throughout the body.
The tissues need to extract oxygen from the blood constantly at a
basic rate for their metabolism, along with the extra needed for work
and exercise, and also are accustomed to a certain level of oxygen in
their immediate environment. The body can compensate to some extent
for a decreased level, but life depends on maintainence of the supply
of oxygen. Different organs and tissues can survive lack of oxygen for
different lengths of time: the brain is the most rapidly and
irrevocably damaged. Because the brain regulates breathing and the
circulation — the means by which oxygen is supplied to the whole body,
including itself — deprivation of the brain prevents restoration of
the supply; a potentially lethal vicious circle.

Hypoxia occurs (i) when there is less than the normal amount of oxygen
in the air inhaled; (ii) when breathing is obstructed, is inadequate,
or stops; (iii) when oxygen is not transferred normally from the lungs
to the blood; (iv) when the blood cannot carry its normal quota of
oxygen; (v) when the flow of blood is inadequate, or stops.

She has the condition when she exercises.  She ice speedskates so she
trains pretty hard.  This condition shows up when she races or runs or
does anything strenuous.  We use balance on the bottom of her feet &
breathe & lime on her back & so far when doing this the condition
doesn't show up, but is there anything we can do to get rid of this
problem permanently?  I searched this sight and everythingessential.me
but couldn't find anything on this topic.  I'd really like some help
because she really enjoys sports and it is possible that her heart
could stop with this condition.

Thanks,
Lisa Lehman
