Cell Damage, Inflammation And The Bodies Own Immune System Are The Primary Causes Of Distress
Treatments that target and repair those form the basis of our protocol.
Primary therapeutic interventions
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a critical post covid option.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is currently being used and studied as a primary treatment for lingering COVID-19 symptoms. It reverses hypoxia, reduces neuro-inflammation and is proven to improve oxygenation of tissue.
You may be aware of the phrase cytokines storm. This is an uncontrolled cytokine release triggered by Covid and is characterized by increases in IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α. It also effects changes in the population of of macrophages. The infected and active stage of COVID-19 causes neuroinflammation and it is believed that this might be prolonged and lead to the symptoms of long Covid.
Micro-infarcts and neuroinflammation are significant causes of localized hypoxia and neurological hypoxia.
Why is hypoxia bad?
A localized hypoxia causes cell stress and ultimately sell death wherever it occurs because it starves tissue of the oxygen it needs to survive and function. This can be very specific causing damage to specific organs, leading to a wide variety of symptoms depending on the organ affected, it can also affect multiple organs and is particularly worrying it it affects the brain.
Brain hypoxia is normally thought of in terms of drowning, suffocating or in cardiac arrest, however brain fog and loss of memory has been cited as a common post covid symptom and this could be the result of brain hypoxia.
An effective option to reverse hypoxia, reduce neuroinflammation and induce neuroplasticity is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
HBOT includes the inhalation of 100% oxygen at pressures exceeding 1 atmosphere absolute, this enhances the amount of oxygen dissolved into body tissue. During HBOT, the arterial O2 tension typically exceeds 2000 mmHg, and levels of 200-400 mmHg occur in tissues.
HBOT + Stem Cell Therapy a dynamic duo for post covid
Many of the beneficial effects of HBOT can be explained just by improvement of tissue oxygenation, it is now increasingly understood that the combined action of hyperoxia (the state of excess supply of O2 in tissues and organs enabled by HBOT) and pressure of the hyperbaric process, triggers oxygen and pressure sensitive genes.
This triggering is important for Stem Cell therapy because it induces the regenerative processes including stem cell proliferation and mobilization with anti-apoptotic (cell death) and anti-inflammatory factors. (2)
Other treatments in this comprehensive package
The other treatments in our comprehensive package are designed to either support the combination of HBOT and Stem Cell, prepare the body for the primary treatment, provide fast relief of the inflammatory discomfort of some long covid symptoms making you more comfortable right away.
