Image by Derrick Sherrill from Pixabay Very often the question is posed, "what can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treat?" If we answer with a list of conditions, it generally follows the UHMS (Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society) guidelines with some added conditions depending on who you ask, which are referred to as emerging conditions, off… Continue reading Hypoxia – The Common Denominator in Disease, Injury and Ill Health
Image by CRAIG D from Pixabay Rather than re-inventing the wheel so to speak, today seems a good day to share another video lecture preambled by the contents of the page entitled, What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT as it is better known and commonly referred to. It is often beneficial to hear something… Continue reading What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – HBOT
Image by VSRao from Pixabay It may seem a little clumsy to group these conditions under a single heading as they differ greatly in many ways in their onset, direct causes and individual pathologies. However, as far as HBOT and complementary therapy goes, specifically oxygen therapy, they share one commonality among them, hypoxia (low oxygen, or lack of… Continue reading Dementia Stroke and Neuro-Degenerative Disorders
Image by Alf-Marty from Pixabay Drawing on work by neuro-scientist Dr Joe Dispenza, PTSD comes into focus today. In Dr Joe's works, he details how he describes the brains response to external events in life. In brief, he writes that when an event occurs externally, our brains respond to this event and a chemical state is generated in… Continue reading Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Associated Conditions
Image by Raman Oza from Pixabay This is one of those topics very often best left to the likes of professors to deal with owing to the controversial nature of the conditions thought by some to cause Cerebral Palsy (CP). In the opinion of many, CP originates at the point of birth or just before as some form… Continue reading Cerebral Palsy
Image by succo from Pixabay Potentially not one of the most exciting topics for discussion is fire and fire safety. However it is a necessary one and is presented today for those considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It's also not intended to appear as any form of fear mongering or dramatic over representation of risk. It is intended to… Continue reading Fire Safety and Prohibited Items – A Necessary Discussion
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com A little while ago I fielded a question about breath hold divers of the non human kind. The question was simple enough, "Do dolphins and whales also benefit from the effects of higher pressure of oxygen as they dive, as humans do in a hyperbaric chamber?" The answer proved a… Continue reading Whales, Turtles, Decompression and Hyperbaric Chambers
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Presenting a slightly shorter read today we address wound healing, especially problematic wound healing. We have refrained from posting graphic images of before and after wound scenarios, but these are available. In many books and papers there are comparative images taken before and after HBOT directly illustrating the improvement. Empirical… Continue reading Wound Healing
Photo by Pawan Yadav on Pexels.com You may ask what altitude has to do with HBOT. The answer is simple enough, the same physics apply to altitude considerations as they do to increasing pressure considerations. Note: Hyper-baric is the increase of ambient pressure and hypo-baric is the opposite, the reduction of ambient pressure. The physics… Continue reading Altitude, The Hyperoxic Hypoxia Paradox, and The Common Sense Paradox
Photo by Edu Carvalho on Pexels.com I guess this counts as one of the few vanity treatments which extend a little beyond the core therapeutic treatments we promote. Or does it? Many of the core therapies we support the use of HBOT for, include neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia, recovery form injury, improvement in cognitive… Continue reading Anti Ageing & HBOT
