MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
A number of different drugs are used in MS therapy, including interferons and various steroids. These drugs not only cause a wide variety of side effects, but can be very expensive as well. HBOT is the only treatment that offers the MS patient relief of symptoms with no serious side effects. Unlike most of the other therapies, it is the only drug-like treatment that has been shown to work on a continuing basis. IN addition HBOT has been the therapy used on the largest number of patients for the longest period of time, which means that it is the therapy with the longest period of follow-up results.
The Gottlieb-Neubauer theory, proposing that MS is caused by luck of oxygen, has been supported by research showing that HBOT, which overcomes a lack of oxygen, is an effective treatment method. HBOT is not a cure of MS. For best results, HBOT treatment of MS should be started as early as possible following diagnosis. As with most illness, MS becomes more difficult to control as the disease continues. The average series of treatments consists of twenty sessions. Treatment should continue as long as the patient shows progress. Once stable, periodic boost treatments and at times a mini series of HBOT are usually needed to maintain improvements.
