Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Stem cell therapy & Stroke:

Stem cells are already a part of human repair system naturally. After reaching the organism, they start replacing the damaged cells and the restoration of the brain begins.

Two main strategies underpin the exploration of stem cells as potential therapies for stroke.

The first is endogenous (inside the body) repair. The point of endogenous repair is to stimulate stem cells that are already present in the brain and other parts of the body to heal damaged tissue.

Stem cells, also called progenitor cells are crucial to injury repair. Stem cells exist in the bone marrow of human beings and animals and are capable of changing their nature to become part of many different organs and tissues. In response to injury, these cells move from the bone marrow to the injured sites, where they differentiate into cells that assist in the healing process.

The second strategy is exogenous (outside the body) transplantation where stem cells are harvested, purified and then partially or completely differentiated into more mature cells to replace those that are lost, and then transplanted into patients.

Large numbers of active stem cells are needed to implement the re-growth of nerve tissue. The patient's own stem cells are harvested from abdominal fat or bone marrow, activated and put back into the body. The cells migrate to the brain and implement growth.

During stem cell treatment, a patient receives several millions stem cells. This quantity of the restored plain cells not only covers daily losses, but also exceeds them by thousands of times. This causes symptoms of a disease to improve and the whole body and all of the organs become healthier and rejuvenated, because the new and active cells replace the old and damaged ones.

Stem cell treatment is safe and well tolerated in patients with ischemic stroke and may improve outcomes, research indicates.

The movement, or mobilization, of stem cells can be triggered by a variety of stimuli -- including pharmaceutical agents and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Where as drugs are associated with a host of side effects, hyperbaric oxygen treatments carry a significantly lower risk of such effects. "This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options," said Stephen Thom, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the study.  "This study provides information on the fundamental mechanisms for hyperbaric oxygen and offers a new theoretical therapeutic option for mobilizing stem cells."

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

One of the greatest and recent medical discoveries belongs to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, United States. They have shown that hyperbaric oxygen increases the production of stem cells in the body by about 800%. Stem cells have a key role in the healing process, repairing your body tissues and affected organs.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the safest and most effective way to support increased stem cell proliferation and likely far safer than any pharmaceutical treatment option. While drugs are associated with a host of known side effects, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy carries with it a significantly lower risk of such effects.

By hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the increase in stem cells by 800%, not only supports the multiplication of stem cell production, but it greatly facilitates future treatments using stem cell-based therapies.  

ONLY MEDICAL HBOT IS PROVEN TO PRODUCE THESE EFFECTS. The study was conducted in hyperbaric chambers at pressures greater than 1.5ATA (2.0ATA to be exact) which is at least 32 feet of sea water.

HBOT stimulates the development of new blood vessels in areas of the body where circulation is compromised and is utilized by some physicians to help treat Coronary Heart Disease, Macular Degeneration, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Arthritis and immune related diseases.

The most important criteria being, for stroke survivors, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy reactivates the idling neurons, stimulates growth of new blood vessels, prevents cell death, and improves neurological function.
