M.P.: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been an absolute game-changer! I was first referred for symptoms of long Covid (which amazingly resolved after only a few sessions) but quickly discovered its use for the treatment of chronic Lyme disease.
As someone who lived with persistent Lyme for several decades and tried literally every possible treatment out there, I had all but given up on the possibility of some useful therapy and resigned myself to a lifestyle built around my pain and symptoms.
I decided to invest myself in a course of Hyperbaric treatment on the chance it could be the miracle I had searched for. It was! Hyperbaric was the supportive ally my body needed. I am forever grateful and an honest to goodness True Believer!
C.L.: I started treatment with Hyperbaric Vermont after I learned I had mold illness in 2020. I did 40 sessions last year and noticed an increase in symptoms if I didn’t stick to my regular appointment schedule.
At first, I had herxheimer reactions during and following treatments; after a few weeks those went away, and I could feel myself improving. After the 40 sessions, I felt a lot better with at least 70% of my joint pain and fatigue gone.
I have begun a second series of sessions this year in tandem with colonics from Vermont Gravity Colonics and a diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables.
Hyperbaric oxygen is a powerful modality that plays a big part in shaping my chronic-lyme-free and CIRS/mold illness-free future!
L.W.: Lyme has been a big teacher to me.
Some of the things I have learned in this process are: Appreciate the small things in life and don’t take things for granted. Keep advocating for yourself.
Take time to do HBOT and give it time to help your body heal.
Support yourself with detox along the way. Be patient with yourself in the healing process which is not a straight up-hill journey.
If you have friends or family with a chronic inflammatory condition I urge you to share with them about Hyperbaric Vermont.
It could really be a turning point for them as it was for me.
M.D.: Hyperbaric Vermont is a game changer for health.
My body was experiencing an inflammatory response that left me with a multitude of symptoms and feeling frustrated for answers.
After hearing an ad on the radio, I decided to try it. I’m so glad I did!
I’ve experienced a reduction in all my symptoms since starting.
I’m a believer in the healing power of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. So much so that I am spreading the word to family, friends, and colleagues.
We are so fortunate to have access to this service in Central Vermont.
R.C.: On January 9, 2015, I tripped, hit my head, and found my life changed significantly. It took me three months to admit to myself this profound fatigue, confusion, and incapacity to function in my daily life and work was NOT going to simply resolve itself soon.
While I have and do receive many modes of treatment that have been very beneficial for me, I have found that the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has significantly boosted my recovery. My experience is that it accelerates a clarity of mind, a calming of my nervous system, and I believe enhances my stamina throughout the day.
Because of how much this treatment has helped me to be more functional in my everyday life and increased my capacity to work, I want others to know about this beneficial treatment.
This is not just effective for TBI, but for a wide range of health concerns. It is non-invasive, safe, and relatively inexpensive for chronic conditions. This is an invitation to be educated in its use and potential for your patients and/or clients that might benefit from it.
A.D.: Hyperbaric Oxygen has been a life saver for me. After some very hard years of field work and exposure to pollutants, I was suffering with PTSD flare ups, chronic pain and breathing constriction.
Sticking to a routine of treatments has improved my health dramatically.
In fact not only has it helped my major symptoms but other things I didn’t anticipate improved too!
Often extremely expensive, the dedicated staff at Hyperbaric Vermont works hard to get grants and funding to make these treatments affordable.
M.A.: I have had MS for close to 30 years now. I am writing this to tell anyone with MS to give HBOT a try. It is quite amazingly true, HBOT works! I am getting my life back and so can you.
2-1/2 yrs ago they diagnosed me with progressive MS, the most severe kind, and nothing anyone wants to hear. I was in a wheelchair, unable to walk or drive; my feet were numb and I was starting to have difficulty swallowing due to MS.
After the 1st treatment I had the feeling back in my feet. As time went by I was having improvements, after 40 treatments the improvements became steady. I am, thankfully, no longer in a wheelchair and can walk short distances without any assistance. My goal is to be totally independent, which I know will come some day soon.
O.R. and his mom are using HBOT to treat Lyme and Morgellan’s Disease.
KR: This round of 10 treatments has helped O’s lingering skin symptoms disappear completely. His breathing at night has been better as well. I really think that HBOT has been the push his immune system needed to really get the upper hand on his overall health.”
When asked how he feels about HBOT, O.R. says, “Going to HBOT is like getting in your own spaceship and blasting off to space! You can feel it in your ears when you are going up, but you just take sips of water and it feels fine again. I love reading books in the spaceship with my mommy.”
R.P.: My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s three and a half years ago.
Six months after the diagnosis, my daughter and I began an alternate protocol, giving him saunas and herbal supplements.
Last fall he started taking Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments.
He has gradually become clearer and more able to focus. His memory has improved also.
All of us have noticed the improvement.
T.: If you have Lyme Disease, like me, you know that a diagnosis is the beginning of a long journey.
There is so much information and misinformation out there, making the world of Lyme difficult to navigate when you already don’t feel well.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been a tremendous part of my healing; I have noticed a significant improvement in physical symptoms, including brain fog, fatigue, headaches and dizziness.
The staff at Hyperbaric Vermont are knowledgeable, flexible, and continuously provide reassurance that healing Lyme is possible.
We’ve received an update from the patient seen here, who first came to Hyperbaric Vermont in November of 2020.
He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer in August of 2019.
After purchasing a chamber for his home in December of 2020 and using it regularly, he’s showing great improvement.
SR: “My CT scan after a month of using the hyperbaric chamber was promising. Nodules in my lungs shrunk by 1mm each. Next scan is in 6 months. Thanks again, Hyperbaric Vermont, for all your help!”
J.S.: Hyperbaric has really helped with my anxiety. My progress has been really exciting.
With my anxiety lifted, I feel like there’s a whole new layer of happiness I can access.
It’s also helped a lot with stress.
I’ve had past head injuries too and it’s been a huge help in getting rid of the inflammation.
This would be great for anyone who’s had any sort of injury.
