WHAT IS HBOT??

Here lies the healing magic of Hyperbaric Oxygenation.

Inside the pressurized chamber, the story unfolds. The injury site now begins to receive a healing dose of oxygen through the surrounding body fluids and plasma—even if the blood supply to the tissues is compromised.

Furthermore, to boost the oxygen concentration in oxygen chambers, supplemental oxygen may be added into hyperbaric chambers during treatment. Doctors and therapists commonly use enriched oxygen or an oxygen concentrator, also called an oxygen generator to help supplement the oxygen. As explained before, this oxygen will become infused into the numerous types of liquids in the body—blood, plasma, cerebral fluids.

And like the soda-pop in our analogy, the oxygen uptake will remain in the body for a time after treatment.The Gas Laws of Physics state that more gas is dissolved in a liquid by increasing the pressure of the gas.

Note: Breathing pure oxygen at 2 Atmospheres, gives 10 times the regular amount of oxygen (2 x 100% vs. 21%). In one hour, humans can inhale 2.4 pounds of oxygen! (Normal atmospheric pressure 1 ATA allows 6 pounds/day). Red blood cells instantly fill with oxygen and the extra oxygen dissolves directly into the blood fluid. In a few minutes, this extra oxygen builds up tissue oxygen levels far above normal.

The Principle of HBO is simple. Increase the atmospheric pressure and get a directly proportional increase in available oxygen. In other words, a twofold increase in pressure equals twice the available oxygen molecules to breathe.

How long the treatments last depends on the doctor’s particular protocol for that individual. Every person and every condition is unique. Hyperbaric treatments may require a one-hour or two-hour session. A treatment program may require 3 treatments a week for several weeks or more.

Nutrition and healthy relationships??

Healthy relationships……well they’ve never been the strongest part of my life. As a matter of fact most of the relationships in my life have been a train wreck. I was an only child growing up in a home of alcoholics and had zero relationship with my parents. The sins of my mother fell heavily on my shoulders at a very young age and I was ostracized from aunts, uncles, and cousins. To this day, I know not the sins I carried. With the passing of my mother in December and very few blood relatives remaining, it’s unlikely that I will ever be brought into the light in that area. There are some things that you simply must learn to accept and push past them…..most days, that’s where I am. I have had a rotting pile of broken relationships that I’ve carried with me throughout my 40 years. They have held me back and weighted me down. My first healthy relationship came with the birth of my son in 1993. I had sworn an oath to myself that I would not be the cause of my children’s dysfunction….it would have been easier had I chosen a proper father for 2 of my 3 children. It wasn’t until many years later that I realized that “nutrition” encompasses everything that feeds you including relationships and careers, as well as spirituality. My nutrition in these areas was nothing but junk. It took some time and some “way down deep” soul searching – you know, the searching that makes you fearful of what you’ll find – but I found a place in me that was whole and unscarred from my life. This tiny speck of innocence was tightly wrapped and guarded with my very life. I fed this small glimmer of life with positivity and purpose, using caution to keep the negativity of the remainder of my being from poisoning this one good thing I could find in myself. I fed this lone flower everything good I could find for it, and it became stronger and began to grow roots as it spread like perfectly cared for Impatients In the sun. I learned that it doesn’t matter how small the positive, if you feed it the right things, it will take over your life. The same holds true for the darkness in your life. The more light you keep out, the darker you become. We do not exist to live in darkness. We exist to live the abundance of light.
