HBOT-India Launches One of the First Medical Grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Gurugram, Delhi NCR, India
In 2020, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 463 million people have diabetes in the world, 88 million people in the South Asia region, of this 88 million people, 77 million belong to India. Approximately 25% develop Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU), of which 50% become infected, requiring hospitalization while 20% need amputation. Adding Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to Standard of care reduces the risk of major amputation by approx. 20–30% and increases wound healing rate by 9–10 times. Further benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen are not just limited to Diabetic Foot Ulcer treatment but stretch wider into many diseases and conditions.

HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or many times known by its acronym HBOT involves breathing oxygen at pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. It is administered in specially designed chambers which helps create ambient pressure 2–3 times higher than that found at sea level to help dissolve oxygen into blood. According to Henry’s law, with rise in pressure the amount of gas dissolved in liquid increases. Henceforth inhaling oxygen in pressurized chamber increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood plasma apart from the oxygen bound to Hemoglobin. This substantial increase in plasma oxygen concentration increases oxygen delivery to tissues by 10 to 15 times as compared to the amount received through normal breathing and as a result, this increased oxygen into the system provides many benefits.
Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Surgical Oncologist (Clinical Lead & Mentor — Art of Healing Cancer- AOHC) suggests as per research that in a single hour of HBOT treatment, the body takes in approximately about 2.4 pounds of oxygen into the tissue and this increased oxygen benefits by
Increase oxygen delivery to tissues with compromised blood flow such as diabetic foot ulcers, stroke, trauma, flaps, necrotic tissue in cancer, etc.
Decreases swelling and inflammation by deactivation of toxins; Increases the ability of body’s immune cells to fight off infections.
Stimulates new blood vessels and capillary growth that aid in wound healing and also removal of toxins and waste products.
Increases the active firing of nerve cells thus help in neural recovery.
Thus, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has documented benefits in many diseases like:
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Wound Healing
Severe Anaemia
Delayed Radiation Injury or Radiation Necrosis
Traumatic Brain Injury
Gangrene
Compromised Grafts & Flaps
Vision loss or sudden hearing loss
Brain Abscess
There are certain other conditions in which HBOT is likely to benefit:
Brain Stroke
Brain Related Disorders like Alzheimer, Paralysis, Parkinson’s, Brain Fog, etc
Refractory Cancers which do not respond to chemotherapy
“We are pleased to share that, through the initiative of HBOT India (www.hbot-india.com), the first 3 ATA Medical Grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Machine is installed in Gurgaon, Delhi-NCR, in collaboration with HCAH (Health Care at Home, www.hcah.in), Guru Harikrishn Foundation (A Non-Profit Charitable Institution, www.harikrishn.org) & Art of Healing Cancer (an Advanced Stage Cancer Institution, www.artofhealingcancer.com),” says Arpan Talwar, Co-Founder HBOT India.
“As Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is supportive in various medical conditions and is the first of its kind in the city, we believe that this infrastructure can help patients not just reaching out directly to HBOT India but also to patients of various hospitals in the vicinity in the city. We plan to become a Nodal Centre of hyperbaric in Delhi-NCR,” says Mr. Manjit Singh, Founding Director at Guru Harikrishn Foundation.

First hyperlink is for the proposed Senate amendment to Title 10. Of note, on pg. 33 line 11, is "Special Operations Brain Health and Trauma Program".  On pg.45 line 8, the formal language for TBI is now codified: "Definition of Traumatic Brain Injury".    https://www.kaine.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/blast_overpressure_safety_actpdf.pdf   Below is an article from Task & Purpose that embeds the attached Senate amendment to Title 10:     Blast overpressure getting attention from lawmakers A new bill demands more oversight for troops injured from heavy weapon blasts, TBIs and the Army is developing a tool for troops to check their blast exposure risk.   And Rep Greg Murphy's Bill has moved on:   https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases/murphy-legislation-provide-hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-veterans-passes-va-health Murphy Legislation to Provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Veterans Passes VA Health Subcommittee April 16, 2024 Press Release Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.'s legislation, H.R. 3649, the Veterans National Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Act, passed the House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health by voice vote. This bipartisan bill would establish a pilot program at the Department of Veterans Affairs to furnish hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for veterans who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). "Since entering office, advocating for new treatment pathways for our veterans has been one of my top priorities,"  said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "During my time in the North Carolina House of Representatives, I successfully led the effort to make hyperbaric oxygen therapy accessible to veterans in our state. I'm proud to announce that the U.S. House Veterans' Affairs Health Subcommittee has passed my Veterans National Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Act which would enact similar reform at the national level. I'm grateful for the support of my colleagues and look forward to continuing my advocacy on behalf of this lifesaving treatment." Cosponsors: Reps. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA), Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA), Don Davis (D-NC), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), William Timmons (R-SC), Chris Pappas (D-NH), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Del. James Moylan (R-GU). Background Hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates the brain’s healing process by providing the bloodstream with elevated oxygen to reach and repair damaged tissue and restore normal function. Studies demonstrate that HBOT is an effective treatment for veterans suffering from PTSD and TBI. Authors of one such study described HBOT as having “one of the greatest reductions in PTSD symptoms in a four-week period with any reported treatment.” Despite its proven efficacy and requests by Members of Congress, the Department of Veterans Affairs currently does not employ HBOT.

Did a hard cover hyperbaric chamber today. It was MUCH stronger than the one I did in California. My ears were popping and I had to wear and oxygen mask. It was in some fancy spa. Not sure if I’ll return. It was cheaper here as well, $175 vs $250.
The red light therapy lamp that was gifted to me came in while I was away. I’m excited to try it for my body. I know a lot of people are using it for their face but I’m not sure if I’m willing to play with my face like that.
The red light therapy masks have the lights very close to your face. I’ve read that it’s good for your skin and eyes. I’ll need more medical reviewed papers for that but until then I’ll be using my red light for my body.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and How Can It Help Athletes Perform Better
Tumblr media
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that helps athletes recover faster and reduce their risk of injury. In this article, you will learn about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, its uses in sports and whether it’s safe for athletes to use. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often referred to as HBOT. It’s used mainly to treat breathing problems such as decompression sickness (the more colloquially known as the bends). This article will help you understand why hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used by athletes and what it can do for you.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical procedure that uses 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to get more oxygen into the body. It’s often used by divers and astronauts, but it can also help people suffering from breathing problems. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy takes place in a
hyperbaric chamber at a pressure that’s greater than the normal pressure in the air we breathe. This increased pressure allows the body to breathe through tissue that would typically be too small to accommodate air.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help people with a variety of conditions. It’s particularly useful for treating the effects of altitude on the body. The increased pressure in the chamber allows the body to breathe normally at high altitude.
Why Athletes Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
There are many reasons why athletes use hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but the most common one is to speed up the healing process. When you have an injury, your body needs oxygen to heal the tissue. By breathing in pure oxygen, you can increase the amount of oxygen in your blood, which can help the healing process.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also help reduce inflammation, which can be helpful if you have an injury that is causing swelling. By reducing the inflammation, you can reduce the pain and help the injury heal more quickly.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also help improve your stamina and endurance. If you are an athlete who trains hard, your body can become oxygen deprived, which can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. By breathing in pure oxygen, you can help your body recover from the oxygen deprivation and improve your stamina and endurance.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by exposing the body to pure oxygen at high pressure. This increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, which improves healing time and accelerates recovery from injury.
The first step in hyperbaric oxygen therapy is for the patient to enter an enclosed chamber that is filled with pure, pressurized oxygen. The chamber has a person-sized opening where they will sit or lie down on their back during treatments. The patient will wear earplugs or headphones and eye protection while they are inside the chamber so they don’t have any distractions while receiving treatment.
Safety Measures while Using HBOT
While HBOT is generally safe, there are a few risks and side effects that you should be aware of. First, if you have a cold or sinus infection, the increased pressure can cause pain and discomfort. Second, if you have claustrophobia, you may find it difficult to stay in the chamber for the duration of the treatment. Finally, some people experience minor side effects such as dizziness, ear pain, and nausea.
If you are interested in HBOT, be sure to discuss all of the potential risks and side effects with your doctor to make sure it is the right treatment for you.

Veterans: Your Brain May be Unwired
Tumblr media
Preliminary Primer on Brain Wounding
Dr. Carol Henricks is a neurologist in Tucson, Arizona who has been in private practice since 1999. She does consultation in her neurology office, NorthStar Neurology, PC and since 2004 she has had NorthStar Hyperbaric, a clinic that specializes in the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other healing therapies to treat neurological conditions. Primarily her patients are military veterans and first responders. She began "Healing Arizona Veterans" to support treatment for post 9-11 veterans; she separated from it when it became a non-profit. She has treated hundreds of veterans over the past 20 years and is an advocate for brain health. ************* An Army Ranger jumps out of a plane and his parachute deploys and jerks his head and neck. He lands, strikes the ground and strikes the back of his head and is momentarily stunned. Then he walks a distance carrying his full ruck with weapons and explosives into the village to "clear it" and breeches door after door, setting off explosive after explosive. They fire their own weapons during the mission. An infantryman on the battlefield firing a rocket launcher from his shoulder. He fires round after round passing the recommended limit. But this is war and nobody is counting. With each insult the intracranial injuries compound, and toxic burden is increased, from super-toxic sites, heavy metals, and environmental toxins being inhaled, and absorbed through the skin and GI tract. A Navy corpsman with her marine unit who stays with her team and is on the battlefield for every combat mission: in harms way every time and experiencing blasts and exposed to toxicity. The helicopter pilot on rescue missions who is exposed to the constant down beating of propellors and the fighter pilot who pulls a lot of G's. Military members in theater have many potential sources of injury, particularly brain injury. NorthStar Neurology and NorthStar Hyperbaric Clinic has treated hundreds of military veterans for their brain injury conditions over the past 20 years. 80% of the patients I treat are military veterans and first responders with brain injury conditions that have been caused by a combination of concussion, blast, and toxic exposure as a result of their service. When veterans do not suffer other physical trauma, their brain trauma often goes unrecognized. Being able to walk, talk, and eat does not signify a lack of injury. Concussion is not just a brain bruise, it is a serious injury with profound consequences if healing does not occur. It is time for concussion injury to be correctly diagnosed and treated. Recognizing concussion The role of concussion including blast injury, other traumatic brain injury (TBI), toxicity, the link to suicide, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms and neuro-degenerative disease is receiving increasing attention in the medical literature. Unfortunately, the seriousness of the injury and the underlying neuropathology is not commonly elaborated in the medical literature. There is a misconception that a concussion is like a "brain bruise" that is relatively ninconsequential and will heal unaided within a short period of time. (1) When veterans continue to experience post - concussion symptoms (PCS) they are sent to a psychiatrist to manage "mental health" symptoms instead of being treated with a protocol to heal their brain wound. The complexity of functional areas of the brain, such as biochemical microenvironments, fiber tracts, and intricacy of the brain is unlike any other tissue in our body. Traumatic injury to the brain and inflammation are likely stepping stones to many neuro-degenerative disease processes. A history of concussion injury correlates highly with future diagnoses of ALS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and is likely a precursor for those conditions. (2) Diagnoses of those neurodegenerative conditions are at epidemic proportions: Military Veterans are proven to be at increased risk. While the connection between severe TBI with skull fracture, penetrating wounds, intracranial bleed, or complicated by a stroke may seem like a more obvious precursor to neuro-degenerative disease than a series of milder concussions, severe concussion, and particularly multiple concussions may be just as ominous. Being aware of historical diagnoses of concussion is additionally a critical consideration when evaluating mental health; you can't have mental health if you do not have brain health. The brain is the organ that is the seat of all emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. An injured brain does not function optimally. There has commonly been a misattribution of a cluster of symptoms known as "PTSD" or post - traumatic stress disorder ni patients that actually have a post - concussion syndrome. (3) Every symptom designated as a "PTSD" symptom is also a post- concussion symptom. Depression and suicidality are common to PCS and are associated with damage to the left subfrontal and temporal lobe cortex. Concussion diagnosis has been overlooked because of misconceptions about how the injury is caused. A blast injury may have caused injury even if it did not knock you down. You don't have to "black - out" or strike your head to have sustained a concussion; shaking your brain around inside your head is al that is necessary to cause injury. Damaging specific areas of the brain causes specific symptoms. The points of impact within the skull and the associated movement of the brain determine the deficits caused by the injury. If the impact causes the left hemisphere of the brain to experience a "coup" impact, typically language function will be affected; so the injury causes both a focal injury and a diffuse injury. If the brain is shaken anteriorly to posteriorly, the left subfrontal cortex, for example, will be injured. The left subfrontal cortex and the left temporal lobe (amygdala) called the arcuate fasciculus and uncinate fasciculus of the brain is associated with mood stability and emotional regulation. When the left hemisphere is injured, this effects brain waves resulting in an alpha - theta rhythm. The right hemisphere then will become over- aroused and will have a high beta brain wave activity resulting in feelings of depression and anxiety. This type of diffuse axonal injury in the left prefrontal cortex and temporal cortex presents as suicidal ideation. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and neurofeedback (NFB) restore these pathways and brain waves. (4) When it is damaged, there is associated depression, mood instability and suicide risk. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is directed over the left frontal lobe of the brain to treat depression. The physical trauma causes a biological sadness evidenced by lethargy and accompanying emotional sadness. Concussion, as a diagnosis, has often been overlooked because appropriate imaging has not been used to visualize the injury. For mild to moderate concussion injuries (or series of injuries), a head CT scan without and with contrast, and/or Brain MRI scans without and with contrast are often unremarkable. This is a limitation of the study and does not mean that no injury has occurred; those studies are more the equivalent of taking a gross anatomical look at the brain. (5) More sophisticated imaging to assess the consequences of the diffuse microscopic injuries are necessary. A Brain MRI - DTI - NQ without contrast uses a metric known as fractional anisotrophy (FA) which reflects the diffusivity of water. The scanning protocol uses calculations to create an image of fiber tracts within the brain. When there is increased diffusivity of water along a fiber tract, that reflects a point of injury and the created image will demonstrate a truncated fiber tract at that point. Observing the fiber tract disconnections correlates the physical injury to the neuro-behavioral pathology and / or mental illness symptoms. A brain quality SPECT scan is specifically designed to assess metabolic activity in different areas of the brain using radioactive dye that is attached to sugar molecules. Injured brain tissue is dysregulated and may have increased or decreased metabolic activity. Clinically a concussion presents as dysfunction in multiple areas of life. Clinical presentation of concussion is based on observations, clinical history, self - reporting, and supported by some specific testing. Concussion presentation can be assessed by considering five critical areas (or pillars) of function: visual function, memory, attention and information processing, sleep, balance and emotions. (6) These are all areas that reflect fiber tract network function in the brain, and their function is disrupted by concussion. Compromised brain health is not just a function of a recent injury, but can be a product of the accumulation of injuries (trauma, toxins, infections, inflammation, ischemia, etc) and healing that have taken place throughout life. (7) A concussion is not one simple injury but actual physical damage to a complex sophisticated network of fiber tracts, metabolic environments, and blood vessels and the lymphatic system, and neurons and astrocytes. The hypothalamic pituitary axis at the base of the brain is also impacted by multiple concussions, severe trauma and toxins. Local brain trauma may damage a control center while the more diffuse axonal injury to the network damages the functional communication system. Neuropathological changes Brain function is carried out by finely tuned networks that are both chemical and electrical. When chemical and electrical processes are disrupted, functional network performance is compromised. Even a mild concussion injury can cause physical injury to the brain that may be disruptive. Brain injury and healing from brain injury is complex, but our brains and our bodies are designed to heal themselves under the right conditions. The brain can always learn by rewiring, re-networking and recruitment but when overwhelming injury has occurred, healing therapies are necessary to support the healing process. Healing processes include HBOT, NFB, diet, supplements, and other adjunctive therapies. At the base of the brain is the hypothalamic - pituitary axis (HPA). Damage to the HPA by concussion, blast force, and toxicity causes profound pathology. The hypothalamus is the seat of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which controls the automatic functions of the body like breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, GI motility etc. Damage to the hypothalamus may disturb control of those automatic functions. Damage to the pituitary gland disrupts hormone function in the whole body. Many military members become hypothyroid and have low Testosterone levels; female hormone cycles may also be disrupted. The metabolic environment around the neuron is critical: electrolytes around the neuron have positive electrical charges that mobilize when an action potential is initiated. There are large proteins in the cell which carry a negative charge. Everything is balanced. An electrical signal is propagated when positive charges go inside the axon and negative charges leave creating an electrical impulse. As the electrical impulse travels down the axon, it signals the release of chemical neurotransmitters into the synaptic space to communicate with the next cell. If the metabolic environment is disrupted, then effective electrical signaling cannot occur. The metabolic environment must recover after each impulse. When there is physical trauma (concussion), blast injury, or toxicity in the metabolic environment it must be corrected. Clinically, when the metabolic environment is disrupted, someone with a concussion may experience a confusional state. The confusion is often described as "brain fog". This is only one component of the brain injury associated with concussion, but documentation of disruption of electrical signaling can be demonstrated with quantitative EEG recording of slowing and possibly disorganization. (8) The disrupted metabolic environment along with the cascade of injury and inflammation, as well, as the circulating toxins influxing due to breaching of the blood brain barrier all create a toxic storm that the brain is not prepared to process. There are many unknowns, but the physiology is different after multiple injuries and brain function is additionally altered by immersion in a multi- toxic metabolic environment. The physical trauma of a concussion pulls synapses apart. When the signaling cell releases the neurotransmitter into the synaptic space after a concussion, the neurotransmitter may never reach the receiving cell. A greater separation between the signaling brain cell and the receiving brain cell can result in a failure of communication between those two cells. Multiple failures caused by the diffuse injury of concussion throughout the brain cause network or system failures which result in loss of functional abilities such as balance, complex decision making, and complex information processing. Brain shear injury is the classic anatomical injury associated with concussion. As the brain forcefully moves to and fro inside the skull, as a result of trauma, it causes tears or shears in the axons. (9) Axonal shears may damage only the myelin or may completely tear through the axon. This interferes with transmission of the electrical signal through the axon and therefore damages the network. When the brain is injured by concussion, there are multiple injuries throughout the brain disrupting network function. It is like having a computer with a lot of wires cut, there is a pronounced slowing and functional glitches. The physical trauma of concussion, blast injury and toxicity damages small (and sometimes larger) blood vessels which destroys the protective mechanism of the blood brain barrier (BBB). Even a mild concussion may injure the BBB. (10) When the BBB is breeched, toxins circulating in the blood have direct access to brain cells and may poison them. Military veterans and first responders experience toxins that are released into the air from burning debris of burn pits, exposure to HAZMAT and super -toxic sites AFTER exposure to blasts, and physical trauma when their BBB is breeched. PFAS and "forever chemicals" are common in the toxic mix. Toxins are absorbed through the skin, oral and nasal mucosal membranes, into the lungs and GI tract. Toxins from burn pits and fires are caustic corrosive neurotoxins that may directly damage brain cells and cause tremendous disruption of function. The more injury to the BBB, the more toxins are able to flood in. An additional concern is that breaching the BBB opens the door to Central Nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases. Blast injuries are most like the bends: a veteran is engulfed by a pressure wave followed by a vacuum. This is most like being deep underwater and being brought to the surface quickly: it gives you bubble trouble. There is CNS injury associated with the bends as well as with blast injury. Military members may suffer from "Breacher syndrome" as a result of their cumulative blast injuries. (11) An accumulation of milder injuries can be quite damaging and cause persistent functional deficits. Blast injury contributes to other traumatic injury by creating small infarcts from gas bubbles throughout the body. A blast injury exposes the body to tremendous whole body pressure from the blast peak overpressure wave (like being under pressure deep underwater) and then suddenly the pressure is reversed (like coming to the surface of the water too quickly) as the negative pressure wave spreads out from the point of explosion. The rapid change in pressure causes Nitrogen gas (which is inert in our bodies) to coalesce into bubbles or gas emboli that block blood flow to different areas of the brain causing small infarcts or strokes and infracting other tissue. Military service members on the battlefield who suffer multiple blast injuries in rapid succession may experience a much worse pathology than a simple concussion. Veterans and first responders have become so chemicalized from multiple sources of toxic exposure that the individual effects of toxins cannot be sorted out. Heavy metals from weapons fired, burn pits, super toxic sites, vaccine injury, mefloquine reactions, and hormone disruption all potentially disturb brain function, but also affect other organs and put veterans at high risk of cancer, poisoning and organ failure. You cannot have healthy brain function if there is metabolic disturbance in the body. HBOT promotes detoxification. Physical trauma breaks the microtubularinfrastructure of the cell, particularly the axon, which has been considered as a major cause of the axon degeneration and eventual cell death. (12) The microtubular infrastructure facilitates transport of neuro-transmitters and other necessary nutrients that are made in the main cell body to be transported down the axon to supply the axon and the synapse. If the microtubular infrastructure is broken and disorganized, this function cannot take place: the injured cell is then not part of the functioning network. A drug, Epothilone D, is being studied as a possible agent to stabilize microtubules after injury and manipulate injury - induced synaptic plasticity. (13) What happens to any structure when you continue to physically assault it: the more trauma, the more injury. You eventually destroy the cell. An injured cell that does not heal begins a dying back process known as Wallerian degeneration; eventually after enough brain cells die there is resulting brain atrophy. Concussion damages the astrocytes interfering with their ability to carry out homeostatic functions. Damaged astrocytes may trigger a reactive gliosis that may be a first step in causing a glioblastoma.(14) Concussion injury damages lymphatic drainage channels. The meningeal lymphatic system helps to clear metabolic waste from the brain and CSF. If this metabolic waste is not cleared, there is dysfunction of the neuro- immune clean- up process and a worsened clinical outcome.(15) Treatment planning Military members who suffer these injuries need to be properly assessed and treated. The brain heals slowly and if you are injured again before you heal it is disastrous. It is likely that brain atrophy (the endpoint of neurodegeneration) is not a normal part of aging, but a pathological process caused by the accumulation of brain insults throughout life. There is a clear pathophysiological pathway from concussion to neurodegenerative conditions, and toxic exposure only makes things worse. The clinical presentation of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS (neurodegenerative conditions) can be seen in veterans with a combination of concussion and toxic exposure. Different clinical presentations of neuro-degenerative conditions have different patterns of brain atrophy; microscopically post-mortem they all have biological markers of the final common products of brain cell death. When diagnosing neurodegenerative syndromes, it is critically important to consider the history of physical trauma as part of the causal etiology of the disease presentation. Healing the brain after physical trauma and toxic exposure is key to stemming the epidemic. Medication may transiently mitigate some symptoms, but healing the brain and detoxifying the brain and the body is critical to stopping disease progression. There are no medications that perform this complex healing process and detoxification. We need to support our brain's ability to heal. Read the full article

Hear this and watch it in its entirety. Chris is a cancer survivor who, like my mom, educated himself and has healed naturally. The corruption he speaks of is why I left nursing school to become a nutritionist. I mean no offense to nurses. I can appreciate the sacrifice and service. I especially appreciate the nurses trying to bridge the gap between medicine and nutrition. For me, nursing wasn’t a good fit. As I was shadowing in hospitals, it became clear that I would not be on the proactive side of health, like I intended. Once I started studying nutrition and its powerful healing effects on the human body, I became enamored. I haven’t looked back since and I will continue to do my part in getting this information out. You are only being told one side, but it’s a human right to know ALL of your healthcare, preventative, and treatment options.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is an advanced technique to increase the oxygen level in the human body. Special chambers are designed to stay in your oxygen environment at high pressure as compared to the normal atmosphere. Increased amount of oxygen improves brain functioning as well as physical abilities too.

Benefit of Hyperbaric Oxygen for Patients with Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of unknown etiology that is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and disordered sleep, and often associated with neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms. In 2015, a new study out of Israel showed the benefit of hyperbaric oxygen for patients with fibromyalgia. We were all so excited since fibromyalgia is difficult to understand and treat. As I was perusing the research this week, 2 more studies caught my attention. Learn More: http://o2underpressure.com/benefit-of-hyperbaric-oxygen.../
