Human beings can survive
without food for weeks and without water for days – but only minutes without
oxygen. Oxygen is the basis of life. Used appropriately, it can mean the
difference between life and death, coma and mental alertness, paralysis and
movement, illness and health.
It has been long
understood that healing cannot be achieved without sufficient oxygen levels
in the tissues, where most illnesses and injuries occur and often linger.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide this oxygen, naturally and virtually
risk free. – Dr Richard A. Neubauer, M.D., Medical Director,

HBOT is a method of administering pure oxygen at greater
than atmospheric pressure to a patient in order to improve or correct
certain conditions.
