World-first Israeli study shows oxygen therapy can dramatically reduce PTSD symptoms
Oxygen therapy can dramatically reduce post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a world-first Israeli study on Israel Defense Force veterans, during which half the subjects made such good progress they were no longer deemed to have PTSD. He said that the oxygen therapy “induces reactivation and proliferation of stem cells, as well as generation of new…
Chamber aids Michael Phelps’ recovery :
NEW YORK — Michael Phelps is the latest athlete to use a hyperbaric chamber to aid his recovery from training. The 16-time Olympic medalist said Wednesday he had been sleeping “at 8,000 feet every night” for almost a year. The 26-year-old swimmer noticed he bounced back from workouts better when he trained at altitude, so…
Low pressure HBOT promotes muscle regeneration
Use of mild hyperbaric oxygen less than 2 atmospheres absolute (2026.54 hPa) with normal air is emerging as a common complementary treatment for severe muscle injury. Although hyperbaric oxygen at over 2 atmospheres absolute with 100% O2 promotes healing of skeletal muscle injury, it is not clear whether mild hyperbaric oxygen is equally effective. The…
MHBOT for arthritis and joint pain
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective for joint pain in patients based on data from multiple, validated clinical measures. Using hyperbarics can also help arthritis. Exposure to mild hyperbarics is effective in decreasing levels of reactive oxygen species over produced in arthritis. Arthritic joints are characterized by hypoxia cause by an increased oxygen demand and decreased…
Why you should be using red light therapy with your mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy routine !
Both mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy and red-light therapy have been scientifically proven to enhance energy levels and cell functions. When using both together, they can work in conjunction. For example, wearing a red light helmet can help direct the extra oxygen intake to that area or wearing a red light wrap on your stomach can…
Athletes use MHBOT to stay in peak shape
To keep his body in peak condition during the 2017 NBA playoffs, LeBron James opts to recover with a hyperbaric chamber session using a soft chamber. Think of MHBOT like a fast-forward button for healing and recovery. By flushing tissues with high levels of oxygen, athletes may experience benefits like: * Increased stem cell activation…
HBOT Showed Improvement in Alzheimer’s Disease
The authors report the case of a 58-year-old female who had experienced five years of cognitive decline, which began accelerating rapidly. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) suggested Alzheimer’s disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by 18Fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging, which revealed global and typical metabolic deficits in Alzheimer’s. The patient received…
MHBOT for athletes and recovery
There has recently been a resurgence in interest in hyperbaric oxygen treatment in sports therapy. Oxygen naturally plays a crucial role in recovery from injury and physiological fatigue. By performing treatment , more oxygen is dissolved in the plasma of the pulmonary vein via the alveolar, increasing the oxygen reaching the peripheral tissues. HBOT is…
Mild hyperbarics was demonstrated to reduce Parkinson disease symptoms in just 11 weeks
Mild hyperbaric oxygen is effective in preventing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease and the main hallmark is neuron loss and degeneration. In this 11-week study, mHBOT at 1.3 ATA (3 hours per day, 3 times a week) was able to protect the dopaminergic neurons from further loss and further…
Athletes benefit from mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Athletes benefit from mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy Two weeks before Super Bowl XLIII Steelers wideout Hines Ward was laid up with a sprained knee. Wild speculation concerning his playability was fanning a media frenzy in the off-week leading up to the big game. A confident Ward reassured fans that “nothing, I repeat, nothing” would keep…
