More Applications for HBOT

Some more Info what experts found out regarding HBOT:

Neubauer and Walker point out that HBOT is widely accepted by American

doctors in the treatment of " wound healing, bone infection, carbon monoxide

intoxication, and air bubbles in the bloodstream due to decompression

sickness, open heart surgery, and other sources."1  But, unlike their European

colleagues, they have yet to recognize its value in treating "conditions such as
coma resulting from head injuries, bruising of the spinal cord, stroke, and
neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis."2 However, an increasing
number are doing so.

For example, Dr. Wise Young of the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative

Neuroscience at Rutgers University, says that HBOT " therapy clearly has many
applications and beneficial effects for a number of medical conditions."
In 1990, the prestigious The Journal of the American Medical Association
published a study concluding that, "Overall, HBO therapy is safe and effective
for certain conditions, and well-formulated clinical trials could help extend its
use to others."3 Wounds, broken bones, and infections of all sorts have
responded favorably to HBOT, and its proponents continue to document and
promote these uses.
