High Tech Treatments for Cancer and Lyme disease
(Based on my experience of visiting Medical clinics offering these treatments and speaking to the medical practitioners).
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
This chamber provides 100% oxygen for patients in 20-40 minutes sessions.
The aims of treatment are to provide oxygen to the plasma (oxygenation) via absorption through the skin. Studies show this therapy to increase wound healing by the promoting the growth of new blood vessels and capillaries and reduces inflammation, (all important for optimal Chronic Lyme disease healing).
The pressure of the chambers are usually 1.3 atmosphere but some chambers can go up to 4.
In treating cancer the purpose is to suffocate the cancerous cells and slow the growth of the cancer.
According to literature HBOT can be used to treat over 14 diseases including chronic Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Alzheimer’s.
This sounds very promising for my patients so I am curious to learn more about HBOT and see how I can implement it into their comprehensive treatment programs as adjunctive therapy.

Based on clinical experience of patients being treated for cancer with Hyperthermia treatment, it is believed that Borrelia may be killed off too, according to Lyme patients that had treatment for cancer.
