Here is an article I found today about HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy). It explains what HBOT is in very direct easy to understand terms. If you are at all interested in HBOT and don’t know anything about it, then read this. It’s a good start.
Three months ago when 7-year-old Calvin spoke, almost no one could understand what he was saying, said his mother, Ariane Vieth. Calvin was born with cerebral palsy, a chronic condition that effects movement and muscle coordination, caused by damage to the brain.
In the last three months, Calvin began using an alternative therapy recommended by his speech therapist — Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — and Vieth said she has seen significant results.
HBOT begins with a high-pressure sealed oxygen chamber. Patients are given oxygen at pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, which is the main difference between HBOT and breathing in oxygen from an oxygen bottle.
“The pressure is the key, it’s what pushes the oxygen deeper,” said Dr. Rochelle Neally of the Long Beach Hyperbaric Center. “It’s what allows the oxygen molecules to be pushed into the blood stream. When oxygen is delivered to damaged tissues or areas of the brain, oxygen creates tissue repair and regeneration.”
