Watch the video : Joe Namath discusses HBOT for the treatment of TBI
With every breath we take in oxygen which is the most critical element every cell requires for life.
Although many consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy ‘revolutionary’, this treatment was actually created in 1662 in England. Since then, it has been widely embraced in the east (every hospital in Japan, and over 3000 clinics in China use HBOT). No wonder people from the East seem to age so well.
HBOT, otherwise known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is administered in an FDA approved chamber and allows a person to breathe highly concentrated oxygen while lying in the pressurized chamber.
The hyperbaric pressurized chamber considerably boosts the amount of oxygen our body absorbs. The extra pressure causes the oxygen to dissolve in all the fluids of our body. Subsequently, every cell of every organ in our body can now access oxygen directly from the saturated fluids that surround it and not just from hemoglobin in blood.
HBOT was originally used to help diver’s suffering from decompression sickness. Then doctors discovered it was invaluable in treating carbon monoxide poisoning. Since then, HBOT had proven highly effective in treating chronic fatigue, traumatic brain injuries, joint pain, fibromyalgia, fertility problems, digestive problems, skin disorders and more.
There are no negative side effects associated with HBOT. The only discomfort our patients report is temporary popping in the ears due to the change in pressure, similar to the popping that occurs while flying or swimming to the bottom of a swimming pool.
The treatment is completely painless allowing most of our patients take a much-needed nap during the process.
HBOT is not a quick fix for most medical issues. Results are typically progressive and cumulative and increase dramatically over time. Stroke victims who participate in HBOT often leave the hospital in nearly half of the time and fewer return visits are reported.
Joe Namath – Knowing that I had had concussions I reached out for some help because I wanted to find out if in fact I had traumatic brain injuries (TBI) we could do something about. I did take a nuclear scan. We found that the left temporal area of my brain, the back part, was experiencing virtually no blood flow. So we used a protocol process in a hyperbaric chamber. I did 120 HBOT treatments. After each 40 I was checked again and my cognitive tests that I had taken before the dives as well as my brain in the scans came back to normal. The tests improved with each group of treatments that I had taken. My brain showed a full blood flow and is working once again the way it should be.
Reporter – Is this a possible treatment for other NFL players who have concussion and traumatic brain injuries? Are you putting this out as a possible treatment for them?
Joe Namath – We are trying. We submitted the study to the FDA and they approved it. They want to see another 100 studies. So here at the Joe Namath Neurological Center at the Jupiter Medical Center we are doing that study. HBOT works. I promise you. Not just for traumatic brain injuries for athletes but a variety of brain ailments as well as for children. There are more traumatic brain injuries around the country everyday than there are in athletics. We have discovered help.
SPECT (Single-photon emission computerized tomography) scans of the brain before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Could you feel it? You said that your cognitive ability improved. Does that mean you could think more clearly after the hyperbaric treatment?
Joe Namath – You know I felt good beforehand however I exercise more. I exercise more mentally now and I feel sharper than I had in the past. I had a lot of questions prior to doing the hyperbaric treatments and getting help and those questions have diminished. I feel sharp. I’m as healthy as can be and I am very thankful for that. Again, seeing those pictures, seeing the scans of the brain. Seeing it during and after, It works.
