Childhood Conditions.

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for childhood conditions like Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Epilepsy.

SPECT scans show areas of low perfusion, or oxygen utilization in the brain. After a series of treatments this perfusion is often greatly improved, along with the condition being treated.

Over a course of treatments HBO₂ will enhance development of the brain in children by producing growth factors such as VEGF, serotonin etc. ( The maturational changes in the brain and spinal cord do not linearly proceed from immature in infants to mature in adults. Dendrites dynamically extend or retract as growth factors fluctuate. ) HBO₂ helps reduce seizures in epileptics, increase mobility in CP children and improve behaviour and cognition in autistic children.

Aging and Wellness

Adults suffering from conditions such as stroke, diabetes, traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s like dementia related to vascular problems also benefit. HBO₂ helps improve circulation, reduces swelling, and enhances and balances the body’s immunity and production of growth factors. Improvements in brain perfusion are often seen on SPECT scans. As we get older our mitochondria function less efficiently and create more free radicals. Species whose mitochondria produce the fewest free radicals tend to live the longest. HBO₂ can help the mitochondria burn food more efficiently. HBO₂ also helps the cells produce beneficial heat shock proteins.

One of the factors that contributes to longevity is having lungs and a circulatory system that can easily distribute oxygen to the tissues. As people pass their child bearing years, their ability to absorb oxygen gradually decreases. Conditions like arthritis, memory loss, bone loss, macular degeneration, heart problems, strokes, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure begin affecting our quality of life. By using HBO₂it is possible to periodically restore oxygen levels in the tissues to youthful levels.

In many European, Asian and South American countries HBO₂ is used for health maintenance by seniors and health conscious individuals. In England HBO₂ is used on a maintenance basis weekly or monthly for multiple sclerosis and other conditions.

Chronic Pain, Tissue Injuries and Wounds

At higher pressures, 2 atmospheres and above, HBO₂ is helpful for conditions like chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS), sports injuries, Crohn's disease, non healing wounds, severe burns, radiation damage from cancer treatment, diabetic ulcers, severe infections, carbon monoxide poisoning and so on.

HBO₂:

Reduces swelling or edema.

Reduces reperfusion injury, an immune response to tissues damaged by a lack of oxygen.

Enhances collagen formation for wound repair.

Enhances osteoclast/osteoblast activity for bone healing.

Increase the micro-circulation for long term increase in nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues, as well as metabolic waste removal.

Enhances white blood cell activity to prevent and heal infections.

Assists certain antibiotics to destroy bacteria.

Helps fight fungal infections.

Helps mitochondria recover from poisons like carbon monoxide. HBO₂ enables the mitochondria to use alternate pathways to produce energy or ATP.

Helps the liver with detoxification.

Assists peripheral nerve growth.
