Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy- My Experience

author Posted by: Lambert on date Nov 10th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Think Healthy

 More people will be helped with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT in the near future. What is HBOT? HBOT is 100% oxygen administered to the entire body at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. What conditions benefit from being treated with HBOT? Crohn’s Disease, Non-Healing Wounds, Fibromyalgia, Stroke, Autism, Pre/Post Surgical Procedures, Chronic Pain, Tramatic Brain Injury, Accelerated Healing, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Adjunct to Physical Therapy and many more.

 I tried it after I had my fourth seizure in the middle of the night. I couldn’t wake up from that until I ended up in the hospital. My other three seizures were like that also..I wasn’t getting proper blood flow to my brain due to my mild case of cerebral palsy. I would feel pressure in my head and joints from inadequate blood supply throughout the day. Some days were better than others.

 I went to HBOT looking for relief from my seizures and also for depression that I was feeling because of my health problems. I couldn’t believe the results. In a week my depression and headaches starting clearing up.  My legs started feeling lighter and I found it easier to walk with a normal stride instead of a slight limp like I’ve had since childhood due to my cerebral palsy.  In fact, I love walking now even if it’s just around the yard.

 Let me tell you about HBOT now. I was put inside a chamber, laying down, and then air pressure was gradually increased. I could look outside the chamber, sleep or usually I was watching TV. It was very comfortable. When the air pressure was gradually increased, at the beginning and at the end, was the only time I felt a slight discomfort. It’s like the feeling of fullness in your ears when you’re in a plane and it takes off. It’s nothing to worry about. It goes away soon. The HBOT treatment lasts about 1-1/2 hours. You can talk back and forth to the technician using a handset if you need to.

 I really believe that HBOT is going to be the treatment of the future. I know it has worked wonders for me and other people that were getting treatments at the center. So why not give it a try if you have a health problem like the ones listed. To find a center, just look on the web under Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy could be the answer to your prayers, especially when nothing else has worked for you. Many have seen fantastic results from this procedure.

We will be discussion the process, benefits and treatments of Hyperbarics and what it can do for you or a loved one.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)? Well, HBOT is the principle of using 100% oxygen under pressure inside a chamber. The patient lies down on a cot that is rolled into the clear chamber. The patient can easily see outside and there is a monitor inside so that TV or a movie can be watch during the process. A handset makes it easy to communicate with the technician.

The process consists of increasing pressure, which is called descending, then maintains that pressure for around 60 minutes, then releasing the pressure, which is ascending. Think of this as a scuba diver descending into the sea slowing then ascending slowly so that they don’t get the bends.

The only discomfort usually is the pressure in the ears like in a plane or ascending up high in the mountains.

Inside the chamber the pressurized oxygen is infused into the patient to start the healing process. The body tissues will absorb oxygen much more readily in this environment. This can reduce inflammation and begin the healing process.

It’s believed that this process will stimulate new blood vessel growth and even stem cells after forty treatments. Each treatment usually will last around one hour.

The increased oxygen nourishes the cells. New capillaries are grown that will help the flow of blood and life giving oxygen to damaged areas, thus helping you to heal yourself.

Many people that have been treated have been eager to share their stories and spread the word about Hyperbarics.

HBOT has helped many conditions such as, strokes, injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning, cerebral palsy, birth traumas and more.

Several people have seen positive results with HBOT and it seems to be permanent after 40 treatments.

Hyperbarics is approved by the FDA for some treatments such as carbon dioxide poisoning and gas embolism, but is considered experimental for many others.

If you have been searching for a miracle then take a closer look at HBOT today.

If you live in Michigan then check out Oxford HBOT in South Lyons. They are very caring. All the patients there are kind and appreciative of the results that Tami and Bruce have provided for them.
