An archive of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Research, Studies and Testimonials
By Dr. James M.D. U.K. Oxygen is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and asthma has been successfully treated by oxygen, especially at increased atmospheric pressure. The Russians presented data on the successful treatment of asthma in the International Congress Moscow 1981. Over the last 19 years operating high dosage oxygen therapy in the community many patients with MS in our charity […]

Hoggard ML, Johnson KE and Shirachi DY. Chico Hyperbaric Center, Chico, CA 95926 and Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, T. J. Long School of Pharmacy, University of the Pacific, Stockton, CA 95207, USA. INTRODUCTION Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons whose cell bodies are located in the substantia nigra […]

By Julian Whitaker, MD Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of neurons in the area of the brain that manufactures dopamine, a neurotransmitter that affects movement. As dopamine production drops, characteristic tremors and speech, balance, and motor problems develop. The primary treatment for Parkinson’s is drugs that replace or mimic dopamine, and though these meds improve symptoms, they do not slow disease […]

By R.A. Neubauer, M.D. Medical Director, Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida BACKGROUND On the phylogenetic scale, all mammals live to be 7 times their age of skeletal maturity. Man’s age of skeletal maturity is 20 years. In biblical times Methuselah lived to be 900 years of age. (Either related to the method of time measurement or a possible higher […]

Gunnar Heuser, M.D., Ph.D., Olga Aguilera, M.D., Sylvia Heurser, M.A., Shayna Kasbee, B.A., and Tanya Peach, B.S. Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment (mHBO) in a portable chamber, at 1.3 ATA and 24% oxygen, administered daily for ten consecutive sessions (1 hour each) improves brain function as measured by SPECT brain scan and a test for attention and reaction time. Patients often […]

More than 11 million people living in the U.S. today have been diagnosed with cancer, and about half of them have received radiation therapy (radiotherapy). While improved radiotherapy techniques have increased treatment precision and reduced side effects caused by radiotherapy, the high doses of radiation used to kill cancer cells may still cause long-term damage to nearby healthy cells in some […]

Hani L. Ashamalla M.D., Stephen R. Thom M.D., Ph.D., Joel W. Goldwein M.D. Abstract BACKGROUND The role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the treatment of radiation-related sequelae in adults is well known. In contrast, its role in the management of radiation-related sequelae in children has not been well studied. In an effort to define its value better, the authors […]

By: W. P. Fife, Ph. D. & R. A. Neubauer, M. D. Purpose It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate the positive effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on severe encephalopathy occurring in Lyme Disease as a synergistic treatment with antibiotics. Summary Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease caused by a Borrelia spirochete, usually Borrelia burgdorferi which was first recognized […]

Background: Scleroderma is an autoimmune condition in which collagen deposits in abnormally high concentration in the subcutaneous tissue and other areas of the body. In some cases, this restricts blood supply to the skin and prevents normal wound healing. Wounds fester and become infected, decreasing oxygen delivery even further. Hyperbaric oxygen delivers oxygen to ischemic, marginal wounds and is known […]

Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) affects 1.2 million people in the USA, mostly teen-agers to young adults. It is a disease in which the last 3 feet of our bowel, the colon, lose their inner layer, the mucosa. Inflammation, or cryptitis, of the budding portion of the mucosa, is a hallmark of the disease. Mayor complications are sclerosing cholangitis, which leads […]
