Sharing is caring- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hi all!

Info on some therapy we could use for those of us with Scleroderma and/or Raynauds... HBO or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

There have been case studies showing promising results of HBO on Scleroderma patients.

Studies show after 50 sessions (please bare in mind we are all different so this could vary) there was a regression in the amount of deposited collagen and also energetic mitochondria achieved with normal morphology.

I have attached a photo with two case studies before and after HBO therapy. (See separate post for continued article, picture quality isn't the best)

Some HBO clinics are a charity organisation, I know in Nottinghamshire all they require is a donation for the sessions.

I haven't tried it myself but am aiming to get there and begin to see if this can help sufferers of the disease.

I hope this helps 🙌
