Maintain a quality health with hyperbaric oxygen

Beauty

  • Hyperbaric oxygen improves blood circulation in skin and all other organs, promoting cleansing and rejuvenation.

Wellness

  • Oxygen is a key component of optimal physical and mental health. Adequate oxygen levels in your body will keep you in balance.

Healing

Oxygen therapy is a natural way to cope with the effects of aging, illnesses, injury or overexertion. An absolute key component of optimal physical and mental health is oxygen. Oxygen therapy today is not only used for treatment of serious medical conditions, but is widely popular and available as a natural therapy to cope with the effects of aging, stress, illnesses, injury or overexertion.

Today’s hectic and stressful lifestyles with environmental pollutants, pesticides, fast-food diets and reduced activity has lowered our immune system and our body can easily be struggling hard to maintain an acceptable flow of oxygen.

Inadequate oxygen level will cause cell death and organ malfunction which is aggravated by age, injury and illnesses. Adequate oxygen levels in your body will keep you in balance.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, is a specialized therapy that uses an increase in atmospheric pressure to allow the body to absorb more oxygen in blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other body fluids.  It is used to prevent and fight infection, promote vascularization, bone growth and nerve regeneration, as well as strengthen the immune system.

Hyperbaric oxygen helped us enjoy life again
Post surgical hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely valuable in speeding up the healing and reducing recovery time. Complications such as swelling, infection and scarring are reduced. Oxygen can cleanse the body from anesthetics, strengthen the effect of medication and reduce side effect. Pre surgery oxygen therapy (conditioning) is important in people with heart problems or chronic illness such as diabetes, to repair tissue and reduce the effect of possible complications.
Research shows that many illnesses connected with aging can be avoided or slowed down through optimal cell health. Studies show that oxygen levels in arterial blood in a 70 year old are 20% lower than in a 30-50 year old. Chronic lack of oxygen can cause progressive nerve cell death. Adding extra oxygen fights chronic conditions, especially inflammation and is very important in improving brain circulation and brain activity. On a longer scale hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides neuroprotection by stimulating oxidative cerebral energy metabolism.
Dr. Paul Harch argues in his book called The Oxygen Revolution that  hyperbaric oxygen therapy will likely become the fountain of youth by the baby boomer generation whose life has been compromised by years of drug experimentation in the 1960sand 1970s. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be able to restore waning brain functionand prevent premature demetia according to dr. Harch.
Diabetes changed our life. - So did oxygen therapy!

Blood cleansing from toxins and toxic substances

Reduced oxygen content slows down the exchange of the nutrients and metabolic byproducts which can accumulate and become toxic. Red blood cells instantly bind extra oxygen and the rest dissolves directly into the blood plasma, building up tissue oxygen levels far above normal in just a few minutes.  Up to 20 times higher partial pressure of oxygen in the tissue will effectively drive out the toxins and heavy metals.

Improved circulation

Extra oxygen will cause the budding and growth of new capillaries (angiogenesis) improving the blood microcirculation, which in turn will oxygenate and revitalize organs.

Stem cells

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy rejuvenates and regenerates by releasing stem cells. Researchers at Pennsylvania School of Medicine, lead by Dr. Stephen Thom, have shown the release of stem cells from bone marrow in people receiving hyperbaric oxygen. This can increase stem cell concentration circulating by eight-fold (800%).

Stem cells exist in our bone marrow and are capable of changing their nature to become part of many different organs and tissues. When they move from the bone marrow to injured sites they differentiate into cells to assist in healing and rebuilding tissue.

The movement of stem cells can also be triggered by pharmaceutical drugs however, these drugs are associated with a variety of side effects whereas hyperbaric oxygen treatments are safe and basically natures own oxygen in high concentrations. According to Dr. Thom ”This [hyperbaric oxygen] is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options.” (ref)


Benefits of oxygen therapy

Breathing pure oxygen under pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber is used to initiate healing responses in a natural way without side effects.
  • revitalizes by improving blood flow and oxygen to all organs
  • regenerates small blood vessels (capillaries), nerves and bones
  • rejuvenates by releasing stem cells from bone marrow for tissue repair
  • reduces pain, swelling, tingling, cramps, numbness
  • suppresses inflammation
  • reducing fatigue and recovery time
  • reducing and preventing infection
  • reducing scar tissue formation
  • cleansing blood from toxins and toxic substances
  • boosts energy

Sport training and management of injury

Exercising muscle needs large amount of oxygen and increases production of metabolic waste.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows an active individual to add extra oxygen delivery to the entire body.  In turns, this will aid muscle, brain, and cardio-vascular function for better training, improved performance, reduced pain, prevent fatigue, inflammation and injuries. When injuries occur recovery is much faster.


Air travel solutions

Most in-flight and post-flight disorders are caused by hypoxia or low oxygen levels in the cabin. Elderly and ill are at the highest risk. As a preventive measure oxygen therapy is used in both pre- and post-flight conditioning for travelers with risk of circulatory problems, recovering from recent surgeries or illnesses.


Chronic illness

Diabetics are suffering from poor microcirculation to all organs. Small blood vessels (capillaries) responsible for delivering oxygen are slowly closing off, causing severe complications. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves oxygenation and promotes regeneration of capillaries and nerve endings.

Timely hyperbaric oxygen therapy in diabetics can prevent or delay the onset of numbness in hands and feet, pain, wounds, kidney damage, blindness, heart problems and stroke.


Preventive oxygen therapy

Optimal health deals with preventive medicine and preventive health care. Most medical doctors are not trained in preventive medicine and preventive health care is not covered by insurance, and definitely not backed up by pharmaceutical industry. While your physician may be excellent in treating your disease the health care depends largely on your awareness of alternatives to mainstream medicine. Hyperbaric medicine is ahead of mainstream medicine which is the reason for its lack of acceptance by.

Lately however, hyperbaric oxygen, because of its natural and no side effect approach  became known as an important therapy in maintaining the good and optimal health due to its effect of releasing the stem cells from the bone marrow.
