RALEIGH, NC - As part of his continuing health series, C.

Pittman, MD, of the Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine (CCIM),

will present " An Introduction to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy " on

Tuesday, October 9th from 7:00-8:00PM. This free presentation will

be held at CCIM's office at 4505 Fair Meadow Lane, Suite 111 in

Raleigh.

" Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been around since the middle of the

17th century, yet people still view this as a 'futuristic'

treatment, " explains Carolina Center founder, Dr.

Pittman. " You'll hear Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as 'a therapy in

search of disease'. The medical community is really in the early

stages of realizing the potential effects that this therapy has on

many chronic ailments. It's an exciting time. "

Historically, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) was used in the

treatment of decompression sickness resulting from nitrogen gas

bubbles forming in the blood when divers surfaced too quickly.

Today, HBOT has been shown to be beneficial in treating such

conditions as stroke, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Down's

Syndrome, Autism, Crohn's Disease, and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

During this 60-minute presentation, Dr. Pittman will discuss how

HBOT is being used in the treatment of chronic viral infections

(like Hepatitis and HIV), toxic mold exposure, Colitis and Crohn's

Disease, and Macular Degeneration. Seating for this presentation is

limited and advanced registration is required in case of

cancellation. To reserve your seat, contact The Carolina Center at
