Sclerosis and Hyperbaric Therapy
The number of Americans suffering from the debilitating effects of
Multiple Sclerosis is estimated to be a quarter of a million and
growing. MS is a central nervous
system disease that is thought to be an autoimmune condition generated by a
virus, although definite causes are unknown at this time. The condition is characterized as a relapsing
and remitting disease that is aggravated by stress and an abnormal immune
system, which results in inflammation, damage and hardening of myelin and
nerve fibers that typically occurs in the spinal cord, brain stem and optic
nerves.
program. In some countries in Europe, hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is covered by insurance and is the main treatment for MS. Some theories suggest that
Multiple Sclerosis could be attributed to a lack of oxygen in the body,
resulting in the lesions that appear on the spinal cord of patients
undergoing SPECT scans. Regardless of
what the causes of MS are, there is irrefutable evidence supporting the
treatment of MS patients with hyperbaric oxygen. More and more medical
researchers have come to regard hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a potent therapy
for the successful treatment of multiple sclerosis without the side effects
associated with many pharmaceuticals.
Hyperbaric has been shown to reduce pain significantly, modulate the
immune system, increase energy, alleviate sleep dysfunction, and reduce
cognitive impairment. In most cases,
patients are also able to discontinue use of many of their
pharmaceuticals. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy raises oxygen levels in the body by up to 1000% through the increased pressure of the HBO chamber. Viruses are unable to survive in the presence of abundant oxygen, therefore a significant “die-off” of viruses and bacteria is experienced when undergoing hyperbaric treatments. Hyperbaric also acts as an immune modulator and allows organ and gland functionality to normalize, reducing many debilitating MS symptoms. Because of the pressurized environment inside the chamber, hyperbaric acts as a detoxifier as well. By forcing oxygen into the tissues through this pressure, toxins, chemicals and other impurities are forced out. A recent study sited by the New
England Journal of Medicine demonstrated compelling evidence of improvements
in MS symptomology. Forty
chronic Multiple Sclerosis patients, in the advanced stages of the disease,
were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 2 ATA for 90 minute
sessions. Seventy percent of those
treated received relief from the effects of MS after the 20 study
treatments. Patients in the study
who received the greatest benefit from the hyperbaric were those who had a
less severe form of MS, however, because the study consisted of only 20
treatments, the results on more severe MS were not as evident. Researchers
in another study testing the effects of hyperbaric on the T and B lymphocytes
of Multiple Sclerosis patients tested patients suffering with the condition
on an average of more than 9 years.
Ninety percent of patients tested demonstrated immune modulation after
hyperbaric treatments. Some medical
professionals state that the most effective protocol for hyperbaric oxygen on
persons with MS is that of lower pressures at 1.5 ATA or below for longer
treatment times. Some studies
suggest that pressures of 1.5 ATA or below are most beneficial in correcting
immune imbalances and pressures at higher levels can have a negative impact
on the immune system.
