Success Story with HBOT Therapy

It all started when Sam suffered a massive stroke in June 2006, which Laureen mistook to be the ill effects of a vomiting bug. Sam made it to the hospital only the following morning, and had been lying at home all through the previous evening and the night. According to the doctors, there were minor or no chances of survival, and even if he did make it, he would probably live with paralysis forever.

Hyperbaric chamber helps improve health of family with ailing children

“Hyperbarics has been around for over 100 years. It’s used for wound therapy, stroke patients, post-traumatic brain injury, bone infections, but as for mitochondrial disease, the decision is not in,” said Williams. “But we were slowly losing our children. We were watching life drain out of them.” Hyperbarics is a combination of highly concentrated oxygen and pressure. Rather than relying on blood to distribute oxygen to cells, hyperbaric treatments use pressure to push oxygen directly into cells. The FDA has approved hyperbaric therapy for treatment of decompression sickness, gangrene, brain…

Acute & Chronic Conditions treated by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) applications can be broadly divided into two categories, emergency conditions (acute) and chronic conditions. The emergency applications take advantage of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy’s (HBOT’s) ability to stop inflammation, infection, and tissue destruction and oxygenate tissues that are starved for oxygen. Acute Conditions These acute conditions include decompression sickness (“the bends”), air embolism (air in the arteries of the body due to a rupture of the lungs in diving or accidental injection of air during medical procedures), carbon monoxide poisoning, burns, the flesh-eating bacteria, gas gangrene (occurs…

The Cost of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves delivering oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure to heal injuries to the body. According to Dr. Paul G. Harch, a pioneer and leading authority on hyperbaric oxygen therapy and research, “Oxygen under pressure works as a drug to treat basic disease processes that are common to many acute and chronic conditions. By treating the disease processes the diseases are treated also.” The cost of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is determined largely by where a patient receives Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), what…

Where to Obtain Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be obtained in a hospital or a freestanding clinic. Hospitals Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been traditionally delivered in hospital-based departments or wound care departments on hospital campuses. Many of these facilities treat both the emergency as well as the chronic conditions. Freestanding Clinics In the past 15 years however, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatment has become more efficient and convenient through the establishment of freestanding clinics. These clinics usually are not equipped to treat the emergency conditions and so have focused only on the…

Conditions that are Amenable to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Since Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) improves low oxygen levels and inhibits inflammation, infection, and tissue destruction, the potential application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to any disease characterized by low oxygen, inflammation, infection, and tissue destruction is huge. In fact, there is evidence for the application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to a much larger list of indications than is currently applied in the United States. For example, in Japan, Russia, and China, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used for : q       stroke, q       coma, q       brain injury after cardiac…
