Autoimmune
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can be a powerful tool for treating autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune Disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy parts of itself rather than infectious invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown, but autoimmune diseases are often life-altering and can become life-threatening.
How can HBOT treat Autoimmune conditions?
HBOT is a clinical treatment where the patient breathes 100% oxygen while enclosed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at a pressure greater than one atmosphere. At pressures greater than normal, the body can incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids. The increased oxygen absorption experienced during HBOT boosts stem cell production by 800% and enhances the body’s ability to heal itself.
Known effects of HBOT include reduced inflammation, healing of infections, and repair of damaged tissues. Raising oxygen levels in tissues where they have been lowered due to illness or injury encourages blood vessel growth, reduces swelling, and supports the immune system. These effects provide significant symptomatic relief and delayed or decreased progression of disease.
