Recently, read in a news article in an alternative medical journal that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective in the treatment of autism. This article was titled, "Neuro biomechanical Implications of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Autism". This article reported on a study done at the University of Texas. The study by the University of Texas was published in the June issue of Archives of Specialized Medicine. This study has been publicized all over the internet.
Dr. William Pelham, a professor at the University of Utah School of Nursing, did the research. He has been working on hyperbaric oxygen treatments and autism for several years. Dr. Pelham states, "The findings are suggestive of the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the control of autism." The research was done using children suffering from autism who were between the ages of four and seven years old. It was found that children with autism responded more to hyperbaric oxygen treatments than controls.
This was found after twelve weeks of hyperbaric chamber treatments. During these twelve weeks of therapy, there were an increase in verbal communication and decreased hyperactivity/impulsivity. The effects were found to be very significant. These results were striking because many other forms of physical therapy had not shown such promising results in these children. During home use of the hyperbaric chambers for home use, patients improved on verbal scores, their ability to focus on tasks, decreased hyperactivity and impulsivity, and an overall improvement in their mood.
The hyperbaric near temperature treatment has been shown to promote better lung and heart functions. In addition, it has been found to stimulate the production of the white blood cells and help in the healing process of various skin conditions. Studies have also shown that hyperbaric chambers can help individuals who have heart problems, asthma, COPD, and COPD. It has also been found that hyperbaric conditions can help improve the appearance of wounds and cuts, speed up the growth of bone and cartilage, and speeds up the healing process of open wounds.
People with autism and other learning disorders benefit greatly from hyperbaric oxygen therapies. Children and adults with autism can benefit from this therapy in two different ways. The first way is as a form of behavioral training. In behavioral training, the patient is taught to do certain things without the threat of consequence. This is a form of positive reinforcement therapy that teaches the patient to interact properly with others. With these behaviors, the child or adult with autism will learn to adapt better to normal situations.
Another way that hyperbaric oxygen treatments can benefit people with autism is through the development of their immune systems. Research has shown that the hyperbaric chamber can help to increase the number of T cells, which are a major part of the body's defense system. These T cells can help to kill off the parasites and germs that cause infections, and increase the number of antibodies that are present in the body. This makes the individual with autism feel better and prevents the build up of toxins in the body.
Hyperbaric therapy is administered in either a pressurized air nitrogen, or gaseous chambers, depending on the needs of the patient. For individuals with respiratory conditions, oxygen saturation may need to be adjusted, so it's best to ask your doctor or dentist before receiving the hyperbaric chamber. An inch chamber provides the highest level of oxygen saturation of any of the hyperbaric chambers available.
The hyperbaric chamber is an excellent addition to the home for individuals who suffer from autism, ADD, ADHD, and cerebral palsy. It gives them the same results as they would get from a specialized clinic, without the expense. They can also use portable hyperbaric chambers to treat other health conditions. Many have said that this is the best home remedy they have ever had. They come in handy when taking a vacation or going camping, as it is easy to transport and store in any vehicle on the road.
