It started as another regular chilly day in February for Arkansas mom Kristal Carlson.
She decided to take a quick shower while her 23-month-old daughter Eden played with her older siblings.
Just 15 minutes later, Kristal came out and didn’t see her little girl. That’s when she saw the broken baby gate.
She frantically ran straight for the most dangerous place her daughter could be… the backyard swimming pool.
That’s when Kristal experienced every mother’s worst nightmare…
She saw her baby girl floating face-down and unconscious in the water. She quickly scooped up Eden who wasn’t breathing. Kristal immediately started CPR.
At the hospital, the toddler was clinically dead for two hours.
The top-notch emergency medical care saved Eden’s life. But the doctors had to sit Kristal down to break the awful news…
Her little girl had suffered severe and “irreversible” brain damage.
An MRI confirmed that the near-drowning had ravaged the toddler’s brain, as well as causing loss of white and grey matter. Neurologist after neurologist told the devastated family Eden would be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life.
But Eden’s parents refused to accept this outcome. They were not going to give up on their daughter. And eventually took Eden to a doctor who specialized in hyperbaric oxygen therapy — or HBOT.
After just months, Eden transformed from her vegetative state to running, shouting and bursting with more energy than she had before her accident.
New MRI scans show that her brain is back to normal. She has regrown substantial brain tissue. According to her mother, it’s like Eden never had an accident.
If you’re a regular reader, you know by now that HBOT is the delivery of high-pressure oxygen to your body.
At my clinic, I treat patients with 100% oxygen at 1.5 times normal atmospheric pressure.
You see, HBOT works because it infuses your body with this supercharged oxygen. It increases oxygen levels in your red blood cells, encouraging the healing and regeneration of tissues, blood vessels and nerves.
Let me explain…
The main reason HBOT is so effective begins with a number: 100 trillion.
That’s roughly the number of cells in your body — and each one requires oxygen to make and burn fuel — and live.
When you breathe, oxygen binds to a protein molecule called hemoglobin in your red blood cells, which transports it to every cell, tissue and organ in your body.
But when your body is injured — whether it’s a blocked artery, an inflamed organ or brain damage, it reduces the amount of blood flow, and therefore oxygen, to the damaged area.
That means the cells in the wounded part of your body go into a kind of suspended animation, because they’re only getting enough oxygen to barely survive.
But with HBOT, your lungs take in more oxygen than would be possible if you were breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
The combination of pressure and oxygen, physically dissolves more oxygen into your red blood cells, boosting oxygen levels and encouraging healing and regeneration.
Studies show breathing pressurized oxygen also stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells. This also promotes healing and gets the cells working again.1, 2
I’ve seen some truly astonishing results using HBOT with my stroke patients. It heals and revives parts of your brain that most doctors give up for dead and damaged.
Oxygen restarts the same growth processes you enjoyed as a child. It encourages the regeneration of brain tissues, its blood vessels and nerves. Increasing oxygen loads up the red blood cells, thus promoting healing and regeneration.
As a painless, drug-free treatment for many of our modern world’s most chronic conditions, its potential is enormous.
Revitalize Your Brain with Oxygen
- Increase your brain’s healing abilities with easy HBOT therapy. It’s as easy as relaxing in a pressurized HBOT chamber. Each session takes just over an hour and most patients listen to music or watch TV. And there are no known side effects — because you’re not putting anything unnatural in your body. Just pure oxygen… the very source of life.
I’ve had great success with HBOT at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. If you’re interested in HBOT or simply learning more about it, please call my staff at 866-371-7677. - Next, increase your lung capacity with deep breathing. This is a very effective way to get the healing benefits of oxygen. Just place your hands on your belly and feel it expand as you inhale. Then expand your breath into the sides of your lower chest, pushing your side ribs out. Finally, lift your upper chest and let it fill with air.
Exhale from your abdomen to your ribs, and then to your upper chest. Start with five minutes a day and work up to 15 minutes. - Finally, supplement with Cordyceps sinensis: Research shows this medicinal mushroom has the power to “turn on” genes that increase oxygen delivery to cells. In one study, researchers found that cordyceps sinensis boosted cellular oxygen absorption by up to 40%.3
A bunch of cordyceps supplements combine different species, so it’s important to look for a supplement that says cordyceps sinensis. I recommend up to 1 gram twice per day by capsule.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD, CNS
