This is episode 35 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast.
Fred Diamond's internationally-acclaimed book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.
On today’s episode, Fred interviews Dr. Mo Elamir from the Aviv Clinic to discuss hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic Lyme disease.
According to the Aviv Clinic, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized HBOT suite (often called a hyperbaric oxygen chamber). This process increases oxygen levels in the body 10–15 times higher than normal, and has been long-proven to speed up the body’s healing and rejuvenation abilities.
After speaking or messaging with thousands of chronic Lyme survivors, Fred realized how many were desperate to seek medical or alternative treatments that would ease the horrific symptoms that they would experience. HBOT is one that has come up ofter and on this show, he goes deep with Dr. Mo to understand how it may help.
