How Hyperbaric Medicine Treats Lyme Disease

Lyme disease has been a problem in the United States for a long time. It’s been responsible for 95 percent of all vector-borne diseases. Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), lyme disease brings in 30,000 cases every year.

In most circumstances, antibiotics are enough to cure these infections. However not everyone is able to get those treatments immediately and the disease can cause further complications. Fortunately, through the development of medicine, the use of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber could be helpful in improving symptoms and even removing lyme disease from those individuals.

How Is It Able To Treat Lyme Disease?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, also known as HBOT, offers a unique method to treat lyme disease where other therapies can’t. Lyme disease is a bacteria, and like most bacteria, it’s anaerobic - as in it can’t be in areas where oxygen is plentiful.

Hbot for lyme disease now becomes quite the valuable treatment as this treatment is all about delivering oxygen in specific areas of the body. Furthermore, the hyperbaric chamber lyme disease treatment seems viable thanks to its pressurized environment, not allowing the lyme disease to move to other parts of the body.

How Does It Work In The Body?

There is a six step process that the hbot lyme treatment works through your body. It goes as follows:

- Removal of bacteria and toxins - the first step is for the treatment to increase levels of oxygen in the blood. The hbot delivers this and then goes off to kill bacteria and viruses. It also works in removing heavy metals and toxins too which lyme diseases come with.

- Production of stem cells - the second step is the healing process. Part of the healing process is to produce stem cells which is done in a smoother fashion thanks to the oxygen in the blood stimulating production of additional stem cells. These stem cells then go and begin repairing damaged tissue. This step is also the reason why this process is recommended for those who suffer from muscle and joint pain. It naturally helps with those suffering those issues as a result of lyme disease too.

- Boosting blood flow and new blood vessels - The treatment furthers healing more by reducing the inflammation levels by making more blood vessels and promoting blood flow. These blood vessels move towards swollen tissues to help reduce the swelling.

- Boosts white blood cell production - Because more oxygen is flowing through you, your body will also be producing more white blood cells. These help with your immune system and ultimately what gets you to be feeling much better.

- Repairs brain function - Because you’re also in a pressurized area, it actually stimulates brain function and can help with restoring cognitive abilities. This can boost your memory and functional thinking.

- Damaged organ recovery - The final step is that all of these steps lead to recovering various organs such as your heart, liver and eyes. The additional oxygen in your body can contribute to those areas healing and in many cases return to their normal function before you contracted lyme disease.
