Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mechanisms Of Action

Understanding the Science

Hyperoxygenation

  • Increased oxygen

Reduced Lipid Peroxidation

  • Reduced cell membrane inflammation

Vasoconstriction

  • Reduces inflammation, especially in acute injuries, edema, and swelling.

Reduced Cytokine response

  • Anti-inflammatory

Toxin Inhibition

  • Toxins from pathogens such as Gangrene, mold, H. pylori, and symptom reduction

Leukocyte oxidative killing

  • Stronger immune system

Antibiotic synergy

  • Making bacteria more sensitive to antibiotics

Angiogenesis

  • Growth of new capillaries

Neurogenesis

  • Grows new nerve cell

Mitogenesis

  • Increased mitochondria density

Fibroblast Proliferation/collagen synthesis

  • Rebuild soft tissue

Increased Sirtuins

  • Anti-aging and Tumor suppression

Increased Telomere Length

  • Anti-aging; study shows a 20% increase in telomere length after two months' worth of treatment
