Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Correction to my post...insurance would pay for it, doctor's won't Rx it, but will prescribe all the Rx poisons in the world. Lately they send me home with " bags of pharmacy samplers " like they are treats to try.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 What exactly happens when people do HBOT? Do you know of any credible net resources on it? Why does it promote healing the way it does? What was your own experience? Did you notice changes quickly, or over time? How did you know that the HBOT caused it? Any mechanism that promotes accelerated healing on any level is very interesting, I think. For example, take a look at this person's research (URL below) This is not science fiction, its real. http://www.wistar.org/research_facilities/heberkatz/research.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 There is a lot of interesting stuff on PubMed about hyperbaric oxygen treatment, thats for sure.. just to give one example, it appears to do *amazing* stuff in cases of severe frostbite.. Military Medicine. 2007 May;172(5):560-3.Links Frostbite in a mountain climber treated with hyperbaric oxygen: case report. Folio LR, Arkin K, WP. Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD 20814-4799, USA. We describe a case of frostbite to all fingers of a mountain climber, treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). All fingers eventually healed to full function, with only some cosmetic deformity to the tip of the most severely affected finger. Because few cases of frostbite treated with HBO have been reported, we hope that such case reports will stimulate future research in this area. It is hoped that multiple anecdotal cases may help guide future research in this area. Sequential digital photographs were taken at various stages of healing during HBO treatments. We raise the possibility of photographic techniques and standards that may facilitate planning of therapy for frostbite with improved treatment comparisons, resulting in more consistency in the future. For example, a graphical software application is described that allows morphing of sequential images to demonstrate healing progress in a concise movie format. The morphing allows concise demonstration of healing to the referring provider and patient and helps in teaching and research on frostbite treatment outcomes.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 The elevated oxygen appears to be an antiseptic of sorts, killing off a certain amount of infection. In that way it helps healing since if area is clean it heals faster. It also stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and that helps to heal wounds, burns, injuries, perhaps some nerve tissue? Just experimenting around with it right now. It resolves a migraine headache, and that is immediate, with long lasting results. I had running nose, sneezing, etc, like I had just gotten a sinus infection, cold or flu and went in the day after it started (not for that reason) but puff, it was gone. I imagine it must have been sinus infection since it can reach their easily, instead of flu that would be in your blood system. These are episodic. Migraine will eventually return but not same one, maybe week later I'll have one or a month, just will stop a string of them, stop those times when I get one every day. Post was mostly about how disgusted I am with medical care but sometime I will post my experiences with hyperbaric when I know more. Resources. There are some that discuss. If you want their address, send me a note and I will give you a link. However I did not learn alot through groups. I just happen to have HBOT clinic near here so I've been able to try it here and there. I think to see any big improvement, you would need to do a fairly long series. Something I have not done since I don't yet have a good, clean place to stay and no use taking treatments and then be exposed again. However air I am living in is probably pretty 'normal' as far as standards go. I just really need extra clean situation to feel good. In wintertime I have been able to achieve good air conditions but haven't been able to achieve that in summer yet so not doing any expensive treatments. Just trying to avoid the bad air best as I can. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > What exactly happens when people do HBOT? > > Do you know of any credible net resources on it? > Why does it promote healing the way it does?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I believe it could be emergency treatment for recent high dose exposure to mold, resolving it's affects on lungs and sinuses to prevent problem from spreading into blood and organs. Just my opinion. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > There is a lot of interesting stuff on PubMed about hyperbaric oxygen > treatment, thats for sure.. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I should add it's ability to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels makes it controversial for people with cancer. On the one hand hyperbaric could perhaps prevent cancer by healing injuried tissue, resolving chronic infections (chronic infections can cause cancer...anything that damages tissue). However if person has cancer growth already, stimulating blood vessel growth some believe could help tumors to grow. It would seem this would be easy to test IF people would be willing to try it. I would, if someone wanted to study any growth I would develop, since I could not survive chemo or radiation due to immune system problems I already have. > > The elevated oxygen appears to be an antiseptic of sorts, killing > off a certain amount of infection.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 basicly it forces oxygen back into oxygen deprived tissues and cells bring them back to life, hopefully. in europe or somewhere its required by law for stroke and heart attack victims to be put in one within 3 hours of injury to try to lesson permenant damage. oxidative stress/lack of oxygen causes tissue and cell damage, damaged tissues get easily re-infected. this treatment is not going to bring tissue back to life once it has become fibrosic. treatment if done soon enough does help stroke victims have a higher chance of not loseing limb function by putting oxygen back in the oxygen deprived tissues. but only if done within a certain amount of time from injury. this is not going to cure organ damage thats older and set in/scared/fibrosic, it's only going to save you from further insults to those damaged organs/tissues and from oxidative stress causeing further damage while your doing it on a regular basis and make you fell better while your doing it. pretty expencive way of practiceing advoidance. > > The elevated oxygen appears to be an antiseptic of sorts, killing > off a certain amount of infection.
