An Old Medical Concept Blended
With 21st Century Technology

Many are familiar with hyperbaric pressurized dive chambers from their knowledge of SCUBA diving. The chamber is used to save the lives of divers who have resurfaced too quickly and gotten the bends as a result. The hyperbaric chamber recreates the underwater pressure so that rapidly depressurized nitrogen in the diver’s blood will not cause life threatening and painful embolisms. For most of us, this is the extent of our knowledge of a hyperbaric chamber.

What is HBOT?

HBOT stands for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Hyperbaric means increased atmospheric pressure. At sea level, with the entire earth’s atmosphere of air above our heads, we live at an average pressure of 14.7psi (pounds per sqaure inch) or 1 atmosphere. By breathing pure oxygen in a chamber that is moderately pressurized, dramatically increased amounts of oxygen will be safely delivered to all tissues in the body even to places that have restricted blood flow or blockages. Although the history of hyperbaric oxygen therapy goes back to 1662, it is not until the 21st century that HBOT is finally emerging as a major medical therapy, both curative as well as preventative, that produces considerable improvement in our overall health.

hyperbaric oxygen therapyHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been used around the world for over forty years in the prevention and improvement of debilitating conditions and in the enhancement of overall health. In myriad of documented cases HBOT has produced remarkable and miraculous benefits for a wide variety of serious medical conditions. HBOT has also been clinically proven to produce a more efficient immune system, rapid regeneration of cells, and works as a potent anti-aging therapy. Simply stated, significantly increasing the delivery of oxygen to all tissues throughout one’s body results in improved health and vitality. The oxygen you breathe at increased atmospheric pressure allows every fluid in your body, including the fluid in your tissues, blood, lymph fluid and even your cerebro-spinal fluid (surrounding your spine and brain) to absorb the life giving gas which dissolves in the same way CO2 dissolves into liquid to make soda. Once these fluids are “supercharged” with oxygen, there is an increased oxygen supply to all of your body systems and organs. You’ll witness peak wellness, peak energy and peak mental acuity. Healing from virtually every illness and even post surgery will occur faster and more extensively. You will discover amazing, restful rejuvenating sleep and with continued treatments over a period of time you’ll experience the anti-aging benefits provided by HBOT as a certified and proven longevity therapy.

There is no downside to HBOT; there are no negative side effects that can be damaging to your health. You may experience a popping in your ears as a result of the changing pressure that is identical to the experience of flying in airplanes. BOT sessions are comfortable and typically leave one with a sweet lingering sense of well being. Most therapies will include a modest increased pressurization to approximately 1.5 atmospheres, like swimming to the bottom of a pool. Pressurization is gradual and relaxed, allowing plenty of time to equalize your ears. The chamber is warm, cozy and equipped with pillows. Most people have a deliciously nourishing nap, while others read and listen to music.

Not all doctors will recommend Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy but not because it isn’t beneficial. They simply have no training or knowledge of the documented results in treating serious problems such as strokes, heart attacks, infections, burns, difficult wounds that won’t heal, poisoning, Multiple Sclerosis and AIDS, to name just a few. And the list keeps growing as the benefits become apparent.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not a temporary fix. Case histories demonstrate that the process is cumulative producing progressively more dramatic results with continued use. Children with severe, autism, ADD and even cerebral palsy, who are totally handicapped, see remarkable progress in muscle control and brain function. Stroke and heart attack victims leave the hospital in half the time and many of them return home instead of enduring long term care in nursing homes and rehab. Multiple Sclerosis patients have had the course of their disease significatly improved with HBOT treatment. Brain scans show marked improvement in functional cellular activity in areas of trauma that were previously non- functional. The increased atmospheric pressure while breathing pure oxygen allows life giving oxygen to reach these affected cells. Because oxygen that is inhaled under pressure is dissolved in all fluids of the body, it is more efficiently absorbed into all the body’s cells, including the various tissues that make up skin. Accordingly, HBOT promotes the growth of collagen (the foundation of firm new skin) and encourages the accelerated turnover of epithelial cells.

One of the more spectacular uses of HBOT, recognized even by conventional American medicine, is its powerful detoxification properties. Thus, given that your skin is not only your single largest organ but also plays a major role in detoxification, and given that toxins in your body definitely show up as skin blemishes and discolorations, imagine the esthetic benefits of the appearance of your skin when your body has been detoxified by HBOT treatments.

Bottom line, from skin to bone and from infections to relatively healthy tissue, healing takes place three times faster with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. While HBOT is not a miracle cure, it is noninvasive, safe, works well with other treatments and has a growing body of documented studies that prove that it helps people achieve better health and live longer with more comfortable and productive lives. It just makes you feel better!

Medical Results of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

The history and documented cases of successfully treated conditions with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is astounding. The list will continue to grow as more centers open in this country and as medical doctors become familiar with its merits. These conditions have experienced varying degrees of improvement depending upon the accompanying factors of the conditions.
