Treatment of Lyme Disease with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

There are thousands of new cases of Lyme Disease each year. Additionally, the disease remains difficult to identify and diagnose, the definitive number of people currently affected is unknown. making this one of the fastest growing infectious diseases. The tick-born bacterium is protected by the biofilm it creates to hide from the immune system, and can often lie dormant for years. Often antibiotic interventions alone fall short in providing much needed symptomatic relief.

Conclusion: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown to elevate tissue oxygenation, which can be lethal to this bacteria, increase white blood cell activity and enhance antimicrobial responses. Oxygen is essential in the killing of bacteria and by exponentially raising oxygen levels throughout the body, the efficiency of bactericidal action of white blood cells can be enhanced dramatically. Clinical data and case reports have demonstrated the lasting benefits of HBOT for Lyme Disease with the following: -

Ameliorate Neurological Conditions with HOBT

  • Decreases Neuroinflammation

  • Enhances Short-Term Memory

  • Reduces Chronic Fatigue

  • Improves Concentration

  • Ameliorates Chronic Headaches

  • Lessens Depression

  • Moderates Insomnia

Increase Mobility with HBOT

  • Diminishes Inflammatory-related Arthritic Pain

  • Lessens Muscle Discomfort

  • Improves Walking Distance

  • Amplifies Energy Levels

Enhance Antibacterial Effects with HBOT

  • Indues Angiogenesis to Mobilise Blood Flow to Affected Tissue and Bone

  • Augments Antibtiotic Interventions by Driving Spirochete out of Biofilms

  • Enhances White Blood Cell and Immune System Activity

  • Improves Antibiotic Wall Penetration

  • Increases Oxygen Free Radicals to Combat the Bb Organism
