If you’re struggling with Lyme disease or post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), you’re not alone. Long-term symptoms like fibromyalgia, fatigue, brain fog, muscle and joint pain, and cognitive difficulties, may not be fully eradicated by antibiotic treatments.
HbOT for Lyme disease has emerged as a powerful adjunctive treatment, offering renewed hope for patients seeking symptom relief and eventual recovery from the condition.
Please Note: HbOT is a complementary therapy and Oxify does not recommend it as an alternative treatment to conventional medicine. If you are unsure, please consult your doctor.
According to the NHS, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by infected ticks.
The rash, (which looks like a bullseye on a dartboard), can take up to three months to appear after the tick bite. This makes treatment more difficult, as it is easier to treat when diagnosed early.
Symptoms can resemble the flu:
- Feeling hot, shivers, high temperature
- Headaches
- Muscle and joint pain
- Lack of energy, feeling tired
HbOT treatments are drug free and non-invasive, comprising breathing almost 100% pure oxygen while relaxing in a pressurized chamber.
This process increases oxygen levels in blood vessels and tissues dramatically, reducing inflammation and enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
The main benefits of HbOT for Lyme disease:
- HbOT floods the body with oxygen, creating a difficult environment for the anaerobic Lyme bacteria to survive.
- Reduces inflammation – one of the main drivers of Lyme disease symptoms. HbOT treatments calm inflamed tissues, thus supporting faster healing.
- Patients often experience neurological issues such as memory loss or poor concentration. HbOT increases blood flow to the brain, reducing nerve pain and enhancing cognitive recovery.
- HbOT boosts the effectiveness of antibiotics when used as an adjunct therapy through increased tissue oxygenation.
- Boosts the immune system by stimulating white blood cell production.
- Stimulates the production of stem cells, helping to repair damaged tissue and alleviate joint and muscle pain.
Moreover, there are additional benefits of undergoing a course of HbOT for Lyme disease:
- Increased oxygen levels help to detoxify the body of heavy metals and toxins, often present in Lyme disease.
- Supports the healing of organs affected by the disease, e.g. heart, liver, eyes.
- Helps to improve the flu-like symptoms in prolonged Lyme disease cases.
- Promotes the production of white blood cells to boost the body’s immune system.
The most noted research on the effectiveness of HbOT for Lyme disease treatment was undertaken by Dr. William Fife and a team of researchers at Texas A&M University in 1998, involving a clinical trial of 91 patients.
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of HbOT treatments in improving the quality of life of patients with Lyme disease.
Participants in the study were given HbOT treatments of 60 minutes for a period of up to three months. 84% experienced either a decrease in or disappearance of symptoms with 70% showing lasting benefits in follow-up examinations.
It further found evidence that by fooding the body with oxygen, HbOT could kill Lyme disease bacteria, even when they had become resistant to antibiotics. Overall, the researchers discovered HbOT to be an effective adjunct therapy for the treatment of Lyme disease.
From our centres in Leeds, Manchester, Retford, York and Newcastle/Gateshead, we offer HbOT treatments as complementary therapy for a number of conditions, including Lyme disease.
A friendly team member will put you at ease by explaining what will happen during the treatment, making sure you are comfortable.
HbOT for Lyme disease has the potential to reduce inflammation, kill Lyme disease bacteria and enhance your quality of life, making it a viable option for alternative therapy.
