Arthritis involves the inflammatory process, which leads to pain and immobility, as well as the destruction of joints, cartilage and synovial fluid. There are many forms of arthritis, like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Interestingly, most diseases have at their core "the inflammatory process". The name of your disease and the symptoms depend on where the inflammation attacks. A Japanese study in January of 1985: Superoxide Dismutase and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy of the Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis by T. Kamada evaluated the lessening of attack on the patient's body as well as the increase in the body's production of SOD (super oxide dismutase - a safe molecule that helps the body reduce damaging oxidation leading to destruction of cells). The researcher found that hyperbaric therapy decreased the damaging oxidation while increasing SOD activity. The conclusion: HBO therapy may be an effective treatment for patients with (in this case) rheumatoid arthritis. At Dr. Steenblock's Clinic we combine nutritional counseling, hyperbaric oxygen, intravenous therapies as well as medical tests and assessments to pinpoint each person's unique needs. We go beyond the ordinary medical treatment of arthritis where you are merely written a pain medication prescription. With our holistic and nutritional approach, the destruction and pain of arthritis has an excellent opportunity to be stopped and even reversed. |
