From professional athletes to actresses, autistic children to Alzheimer’s patients, one treatment is having fantastic results.

We are so dependent on oxygen that each blood cell is equipped with 280 million molecules of hemoglobin. In red blood cells, hemoglobin is what binds to oxygen, carrying it through the body and delivering it to cells.

When tissue in the body becomes damaged, it is unable to receive full support from surrounding blood vessels. This could happen in the brain, in the muscle tissue, in the joints, or in the organs.

When we age, when our skin begins to sag, and when we develop wrinkles, there is less blood flow to the skin and less cellular support.

When our hair begins to thin, and when our hands and feet are always cold, this is an indication that the body’s vascular system is not able to fully nourish each and every cell.

When our memory begins to fail, especially if there has ever been a head trauma in the past, this is because there are places in the brain that are not receiving the support they need.

Many anti-aging protocols focus on mitochondrial health. The mitochondria are found in our cells, and they are responsible for creating usable cellular energy. This process requires oxygen! The body literally uses oxygen to fuel itself.

It turns out that as we age, our cells become progressively starved of nutrients. This could be because of diet, lifestyle, or other stress factors. As this happens, the number of mitochondria in each cell decreases. Our cells fail to thrive.

When we supply oxygen to our cells and to the mitochondria, this can, in a very literal sense, stoke the cellular fire. We become healthier, we have more energy, and our cells are more productive and efficient.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivers vital oxygen to your body to speed up recovery, ease arthritic pain, improve the quality of the skin, and even reduce inflammation in conditions like multiple sclerosis.

Just because you breathe in enough oxygen to survive, it does not mean that your joints or your organs are receiving enough oxygen to function properly. Remember, when cells do not receive enough oxygen, they slowly begin to malfunction and die.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy takes place in a high-pressure, oxygen-rich chamber. This therapy, which is FDA approved and in some cases even covered by insurance companies, can transform a person’s health. This is because HBOT bathes the cells in the body with oxygen.  The chamber is pressurized, and oxygen easily enters into the body.

Body Ecology was able to discuss the benefits of HBOT with Maya Volk of Global Hyperbaric, whose center documents tremendous results on a wide array of health challenges. Maya references Dr. Gunnar Heuser’s research on the efficacy of HBOT, which can help:

• Speed up the healing process after an injury or surgery.
• Aid in recovery after stroke or a traumatic brain injury.
• Ease arthritic pain.
• Lessen the inflammatory response in patients with autoimmunity like multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Generate glowing skin and improve skin elasticity.
• Improve brain function, memory, and mood.
• Mitigate the effects that diabetes has on vasculature.

People that have benefited from HBOT are:

• Professional athletes with injuries.
• Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.
• Celebrities who want to look great and increase their energy.
• Diabetics with circulatory problems.
• Patients with chronic and systemic infections.

Aging is dangerous because it begins before you notice it.

With aging and with many degenerative diseases like dementia or diabetes, the body slowly breaks down in increments that are barely detectable.

For example, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia do not happen suddenly. Rather the process is slow and happens over a long period of time. The trick to avoiding the devastating effects of degenerative disease is to catch the process before it is detectable.

Anti-aging is not just about looking young! Anti-aging protocols enhance the experience and quality of life. Anyone can use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to maximize performance, health, and the quality of life.
