Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Brain-Injury

http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com/products.html

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is being studied as a treatment of traumatic brain injury.
http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com/hyperbaric-chamber.html Hyperbaric oxygen simply means oxygen that is given at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure, which is the pressure of the air we normally breathe.

To achieve high pressures, a compression chamber is used. These chambers look like a miniature submarine and are built to withstand the high air pressure created inside them, which is where the patient is treated.

Compression chambers were first used to treat divers with the bends, a condition that occurs when a diver ascends too rapidly and nitrogen compressed in the blood as a result of high underwater pressure expands too rapidly for the body to adapt.
