Home chambers to treat Lyme disease article :
Are Home Chambers Effective?
Mild chambers pressurize to about 1.3-1.35 ATA (about 10-11 feet underwater). This is far less than the common protocol used in clinics of 2.5 ata (about 50 feet underwater)—which was established by William Fife in his original experiments on lyme and hyperbaric oxygen. Is 1.3 enough pressure to be effective? We think so. Lyme is a microaerophilic bacterium, one that can survive in small amounts of oxygen. It dies in air, for instance. According to Fife, “a lethal level of oxygen for the spirochete falls somewhere between 30 mm Hg, and 160 mm Hg.” At 1.3ata
90mmHg to 135mmHg will reach the tissues—likely killing at least some lyme. Just as important, the oxygen will help restore the function of hormones and boost immune function, increasing the metabolic efficiency of every cell in the body— which is key in lyme disease, because it so disables the body’s systems. Finally, by adding in other treatments (such as antibiotics, home heat therapies like saunas and peat baths, and herbs, vitamins and minerals), one can attack the lyme steadily and methodically, allowing enough time for the body to heal and gain health, putting lyme in permanent remission.
In fact, 1.3-1.5 ata may be ideal pressures for the body. See the following graph showing oxygen saturation in tissues at varying pressures:
How Does Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Work?
Lyme disease, like many chronic illnesses, causes a chronic, debilitating dysregulation of the entire immune and nervous system. Patients suffer from simultaneous exhaustion and insomnia, they become sensitive to noise, sound, smells, and light; they react adversely to chemicals; they may even suffer from visual and olfactory hallucinations. All of this may be treated by mild pressure hyperbaric oxygen. According to Ignacio Fojgel, M.D., “The action of pressure and oxygen on the autonomic nervous system has never been given its due attention. I have been insisting that many effects of the chambers are dependent on modification in the autonomic nervous system. Many people sleep during the session or become relaxed and kind of peaceful. Parasympathetic up-regulation, and/or sympathetic down- regulation occur. That is why we sleep during an illness: a relatively high parasympathetic tone is needed for most healing process to happen.”
The Proof is in the Brain and Blood
Mild Hyperbaric oxygen treatments can improve brain function almost immediately, and can improve the appearance of the blood in less than an hour.”

The New Epidemic Lyme disease is epidemic: it is the fastest growing vector-borne disease in the world. More and more patients are showing up with chronic forms of the infection…
