Decades-old Stroke Damage Reversible With Oxygen Therapy, say Researchers
Published on May 2, 2013May 2 - Up to 20 years after suffering a stroke, patients in Israel are reporting remarkable improvements in brain function with calibrated oxygen treatments inside hyperbaric chambers. While treating stroke patients with hyperbaric oxygen is nothing new, the fact that it can be effective after so many years is an exciting new development according to specialists at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center. Jim Drury went to see the therapy demonstrated.

Stroke Patient Regains His Ability to Walk Through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Published on Jan 17, 2014www.WhitakerWellnessInstitute.com
There have been great advances in recent years in the treatment of acute stroke. However, clot-busting drugs and other therapies must be administered within hours of the episode, and many patients fail to get treatment within that window of time. Stroke survivors are usually treated with drugs to prevent repeat strokes. Most patients also engage in physical, occupational, and/or speech rehabilitation. Such programs are very helpful, but after a few months, patients are told they've regained all the function they're going to. In essence, they're given up on.
Truth is, with the proper therapies, patients can make significant strides long after sustaining a stroke. That's what we're targeting in our stroke rehabilitation program.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is medicine's most efficient method of transporting oxygen to cells throughout the body. When you breathe oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure, it is transported on the hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Under pressure, however, oxygen dissolves in the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord, lymph, and other body fluids. It is therefore easily delivered to all tissues, and even areas with limited blood flow are afforded the tremendous healing benefits of oxygen.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Explained for Stroke
Uploaded on Feb 3, 2011http://www.strokedoctor.com/
Cut off an individual's oxygen supply for more than a handful of minutes and permanent brain damage ensues. But what happens when oxygen is delivered under pressure to a damaged brain? This short video clip discusses this. In it, physician David Steenblock discusses how this use of oxygen, which is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBOT, brings "idling" neurons to life. Think of it like throwing a life preserver to a drowning man or flooding an engine running on fumes with high octane gasoline. And Dr. Steenblock should know, as he has been using HBOT to turn the tables on brain damage (especially stroke) since 1989. Watch this video and get the straight scoop on hyperbaric oxygen therapy for stroke and other forms of brain damage.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the Treatment of Stroke
Uploaded on Jan 30, 2010The purpose of this report is to provide a guide to the strengths and limitations of the evidence about the use of HBOT to treat patients who have brain injury, cerebral palsy, and stroke. Brain injury can be caused by an external physical force (also known as traumatic brain injury, or TBI); rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head; bleeding within or around the brain; lack of sufficient oxygen to the brain; or toxic substances passing through the blood-brain barrier.
Brain injury results in temporary or permanent impairment of cognitive, emotional, and/or physical functioning.
Cerebral palsy refers to a motor deficit that usually manifests itself by 2 years of age and is secondary to an abnormality of at least the part of the brain that relates to motor function.
Stroke refers to a sudden interruption of the blood supply to the brain, usually caused by a blocked artery or a ruptured blood vessel, leading to an interruption of homeostasis of cells, and symptoms such as loss of speech and loss of motor function.
While these conditions have different etiologies, prognostic factors, and outcomes, they also have important similarities. Each condition represents a broad spectrum, from barely perceptible or mild disabilities to devastating ones.
All three are characterized by acute and chronic phases and by changes over time in the type and degree of disability. Another similarity is that the outcome of conventional treatment is often unsatisfactory. For brain injury in particular, there is a strong sense that conventional treatment has made little impact on outcomes.
