Normal Blood Flow:
There is 21% oxygen in the air that we breathe, and our lungs
transfer this oxygen to our red blood cells (via hemoglobin). These
oxygen-filled red blood cells are carried around the body by the plasma
(fluid), which travels through the blood vessels. The oxygen diffuses into the
surrounding tissue ensuring that it is delivered to where it is needed most.
When there is a restriction (occlusion) in blood flow due to
surgery, illness, or injury, the red blood cells block the blood vessel and are
unable to transfer oxygen to the cells on the other side of the occlusion. This
causes swelling and starves the area of oxygen, causing hypoxia (a lack of
oxygen); when this occurs the tissue begins to break down.
Hyperbaric Oxygenation:
Breathing 100% oxygen under pressure causes the oxygen to
diffuse into the blood plasma. This oxygen-rich plasma is able to travel past
the restriction, diffusing up to 3 times further into the tissue. The
pressurized environment helps to reduce swelling and discomfort, while
providing the body with at least 10-15 times its normal supply of oxygen to
help repair tissue damaged by the original occlusion or subsequent hypoxic
condition. Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT) directly increases the saturative
effects of tissue oxygenation slowing and reversing hypoxic induced apoptosis –
restoring blood supply to the compromised region by the development of new
capillary networks (angiogenesis) enabling the body to alter the course and
impact of the disease process.

Neurovascular Regeneration:
HBOT mobilizes the body’s circulating stem cells. American
Journal Physiology – Heart and Circulatory Physiology (Nov 05)] reports a single 2-hour
exposure to HBOT at 2 ATA doubles circulating CD34+ progenitor stem cells
(primordial cells targeted to salvage and restore damaged structures); and at
approx. 20-hours of HBOT; circulating CD34+ cells increases eight fold (800%).
