Hyperbaric Oxygen for trauma, wound healing-anti-aging

 

 

 

Last month I reported on Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) for Multiple Sclerosis.

This

month Dr.Robert Rowen,MD in his newsletter Second Opinion, June 2003 writes

about some of the other uses of this underused therapy. HBO has been used

successfully to reverse damage from strokes for years. It is best to get to

a

hospital with a hyperbaric chamber as soon as possible, but improvements

have been

reported as late as 5 years after the stroke. It is still worth a try. A

number of professional sports teams and horse trainers use hyperbaric oxygen

chambers for wound healing and injuries, they have to get athlete's back in

the

line-up or the team and owners lose big money.

 

The FDA has given limited approval for HBO decompression sickness (the

bends),osteomyelits (bone disease), poorly healing wounds and carbon

monoxide

poisoning. Within these limits the medical community usually does not take

advantage

of the allowed or indicated treatments, the provision for wound healing is a

huge opening that is just not used enough. HBO does not have the high profit

incentive of drug companies to push the information to busy physicians. If

used

after surgery healing would be much better and faster. The FDA has approved

a

low pressure " mild " HBO fabric chamber for usein high altitude sickness.The

latest research shows the lower pressure achieved in these HBO fabic

chambers

is sufficient. A recent study found it helpful with cerebral palsy, patients

confined to a wheelchair for 15 years were able to walk after a seies of HBO

treatments.SPECT scans of special brain metabolism have shown improvement in

cellular function with mild pressure alone. Dr.Ricard Neubauer has used low

pressure HBO at 1.4 ATA(atmospheres) where sea level is 1.0 ATA for

Multiple

Sclerosis. Portable chambers now make it much easier and hopefully cheaper

to get

HBO.FDA approved it for in home use and the patient can have the chamber.The

chamber comes with an oxygen concentrator. Combined with mild pressure

elevarion

of 1.3-1.4 ATA, tissue concentration makes the level needed for optimal

healing. Scuba divers can rig up a mld HBO chamber by diving down 10 feet

in a pool

andbreathing froma tank of 100% oxygen for an hour session.This is about 1.3

ATA. This may explain the miraculous healing at the Dead Dea. At 1,340 feet

below sea level, additional air pressure 24 hours a day might provide enough

extra compresed oxygen gas to cause significant revitaization.

 

In order to purchase a mild HBO chamber you will need a doctor's

prescrption.

Information on mild HBO chambers can be obtained from Oxy Health

For a physician familiar with HBO check these sources of doctors who are

likely to be familiar with and use HBO.
