We NOW have a HYPERBARIC OXYGEN CHAMBER for use at the office!!!! call 310 376 2067 for more information.

Oxygen deficiency is often overlooked. Normal air contains 20% oxygen. The Los Angeles area runs about 17% and will drop to 15% on smog alert days. Up to 5,000 people a year die from smog related problems in this area.

Hyperbaric oxygen is oxygen at an increased (hyper) barametric (baric) pressure. Mild hyperbaric is oxygen at 1.3 to 1.7 atmospheric pressure and is used all over the world to improve health. It is now being used by medical doctors to treat many conditions, including stroke, Multiple Sclerosis and Autism. Please go to http://www.hypertc.com/buckley_letter.htm regarding Dr Buckley’s information on autism.

Oxygen is the single most important element your body needs. You may go 40 days without food, up to 10 days without water. How long can you hold your breath?

Oxygen is needed to burn fuel (food) to produce energy.

Anaerobic bacteria, fungi and viruses all have a common intolerance for oxygen; they cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment.

The increased pressure also stimulates blood flow to the brain and extremities, decreases inflammation, and has a calming effect. Sleep is enhanced, absorption of nutrients and digestion improved.

Some of the possible signs of low oxygen levels in the body include:

* Premature aging * Unexplainable depression, anger or sadness * Memory loss/forgetfulness * Sleeping disorders, drowsiness, exhaustion * Digestive disorders, acid stomach * Excessive colds or infections * Inflamed, swollen or aching joints * Muscle or tendon aches * Headaches * Chronic fatigue * Difficulty breathing, breathlessness, shortness of breath

Certain environments and activities can contribute to low oxygen levels,including:

* Regular, heavy exercise * Regular participation in sports activities * Working in a sealed building * Working excessive hours * High stress work environments * Living in city with high pollution * Traveling frequently in an airplane * Frequent travel across time zones * Smoking or being around smokers * Consuming alcohol on a regular basis * Driving in congested traffic more than 1 hour per day * Lack of exercise/sedentary lifestyle * Medical conditions (Click for list )

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen can be used to benefit the following:

This list is not meant to be exclusive, and new benefits are being reported all the time.

Although mild hyperbaric therapy has been reported to be beneficial for a wide range of medical conditions, this is not meant as a cure for any condition or disease and no therapeutic outcomes can be guaranteed.
