Neurological Conditions

Alzemiers and Parkinsons

Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's, have been shown to improve sometimes significantly after 30-40 HBOT sessions. This is because in all these neurological conditions oxygen is inhibited from being absorbed at the cellular level.

This results in mitochondrial dysfunction and cytochrome oxidase inhibition which is crucial to the transfer of energy (ATP) for normal brain function and repair. After a HBOT session a superabundance of oxygen can permeate the cells directly through oxygen soaked blood plasma.

Autism

You are most probably aware that the incidents of cases of Autism are increasing, so much so that some have called it an 'Autism epidemic'. The exact cause has yet to be discovered however, leading physicians have demonstrated that it is a biological disease with changes in regional blood flow and function within the cortices.

 

PET and SPECT scans show that Bilateral temporal lobe hypo-perfusion is significantly alleviated after typically 30-40 HBOT sessions. The results of brain activity shown on the SPECT results before and after just 1 hour session of HBOT are incredible. ​Click here to view.

Traumatic Brian Injury

Strokes, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-concussion syndrome, Peripheral Neurological conditions, Lyme’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Migraines, Crohn’s disease, and many more all have been shown to improve sometimes significantly after 30-40 HBOT sessions. 

 

After HBOT a superabundance of oxygen can permeate the cells directly through oxygen soaked blood plasma. This has been proven to increase mitochondrial biogenesis in the hippocampus, increase the mobilisation of stem cells 8 times and significantly reduce inflammation. (Dave et al. 2003 Neuroscience 120;) So for patients like Chad (see below) and many others it is as if they have got their old lives back.

The Chad Rovira Story

If a physician said they had found a curative to help all of these conditions and that it was the same thing, many in the medical profession would cast aspersions. However, this is exactly what has been discovered in at least 15 randomised controlled trials over the past 45 years. It was first in Traumatic brain injury (TBI) that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) really came into its own as a curative.The data showed for patients with TBI that the number of deaths could be reduced by 60% if HBOT was used. Furthermore metabolic studies showed a significant improvement in the underlying brain injury. (Harch et al. 2016 The Oxygen Revolution; 67-77)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-concussion syndrome, Peripheral Neurological conditions, Lyme’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Migraines, Crohn’s disease, and many more all have been shown to improve sometimes significantly after 30-40 HBOT sessions. 

After HBOT a superabundance of oxygen can permeate the cells directly through oxygen soaked blood plasma. This has been proven to increase mitochondrial biogenesis in the hippocampus, increase the mobilisation of stem cells 8 times and significantly reduce inflammation. (2003 Neuroscience 120;) So for patients like Chad (see below) and many others it is as if they have got their old lives back. 

Famously a 19 year crash crash victim Chad Rovira in 1991 in America sustained Traumatic Brain Injury and was in an emergency room comatose on a ventilator. After a few months of no change in his state, they started giving him HBOT for 2 hours a day. Within a week he was off his ventilator and came out of his coma. Within a few months he was walking and eventually returned to University to continue his degree. He got his life back. This story and many like it are close to miraculously. When a patient recovery looks impossible and no other treatment is working HBOT can give incredibly transformations in a patients condition. Click here  to watch his story.
