Nearly raised £600 with my recent challenges for various charities 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️👌🏻💰🌎 🏔️ 🚴🏻

If you donated: thank you 🙏🏻 it meant a lot ❤️

If you didn’t: there’s still time 🕰️❤️🙏🏻 (I’m sure there’s a few more donations from people who forgot to get round to it 🙃)

Would be nice to have some more donations from people…..

These charities would really benefit from any donation you can make…..

Beat: eating disorders
Grasac: child sexual abuse
National Star College
Sue Ryder Leckhampton Hospice
British Red Cross: Turkey 🇹🇷 appeal
Cobalt: screening clinic

Would be great to have a few more donations as they were really blooming hard 🙃✌🏻 🥵🥶💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Only 2 million people have ever climbed Kilimanjaro (-15 at the top 🥶): part of a unique club now. 50% of people don’t make it to the summit.

Cycling one day in 30 degrees, next day in the desert 🏜️, next day 5 degrees in the rain ☔️ and defo not flat 🙃😂⛰️

Did You know Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help with bone health and healing?

Non-union/Non healing bones
& the Benefits of HBOT
Bone Healing can be delayed or stopped altogether by extensive trauma, bone loss, infection, ageing, premature mobilization, diabetes and osteonecrosis (a disease caused by reduced blood flow to bones in the joints, leading to bone death and breakdown). To read more.
Young athletes as well as elderly diabetics can have non-union or non-healing fractures. These factors can cause chronic pain and disability for patients. In these circumstances, re-establishing the structural integrity of the bones can be a major challenge for doctors.
Oxygen is an essential material for cell metabolism, and reparative processes. Cell proliferation and collagen synthesis have an especially increased demand for oxygen. Evidence from animal and cell line studies has shown that HBOT, the administration of pure oxygen at pressures greater than 1 ATA, results in increased growth factor production. (1)

HBOT is known to stimulate the production of collagen, a tough, fibrous material that fills the space between broken bones and helps ‘knit’ them back together. Hyperbaric oxygen also promotes fast growth of new capillaries in affected areas, which in turn brings more oxygen and nutrients to the bones.

In particular, additional hyperbaric oxygen increases production of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the cells vital for bone growth, healing and the removal of old, dead bone. Numerous animal studies have demonstrated that osteoblasts and osteoclasts are exquisitely reactive to increased oxygen. In 2007, D. Wu et al conducted an experiment for Connective Tissue Research , investigating in vitro the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on osteoblasts, the cells responsible for synthesizing bone. They observed that HBOT stimulated proliferation of osteoblasts, providing direct cellular evidence that HBOT is effective for fracture healing and bone growth.

Surgery Preparation & Accelerated Recovery
All surgeries, even those performed to cure or improve medical conditions, result in wounds that the body will need to heal. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy optimizes the oxygenation (and thus the healing potential) of tissue prior to surgery and accelerates wound healing post operatively.

Although there are many additional examples, pre and post surgical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can improve recovery from orthopedic procedures or injuries such as an ACL tear, decrease bruising and swelling post plastic surgery, and improve tissue healing after cancer surgeries. HBOT is especially effective in complex surgical cases where where there is a high risk of wound healing complications.

Did You Know?

One session of HBOT increases the amount of oxygen in the blood stream by over 1200%.
Benefits of post-operative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

Reduces edema/inflammation
Enhances oxygen availability to injured tissue
Promotes fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis, decreasing fibrosis
Enhances antibiotic efficacy
Reduces incidence of infection due to the enhancement of leukocyte oxidative killing
Increases tensile strength of healed tissue
Increases angiogenesis

Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the colon and ileum, associated with ulcers and fistulae. Symptoms range from mild to severe and may include frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain or cramping, reduced appetite, unexplained weight loss and re**al bleeding.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been used to treat Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease because it reduces inflammation, fights infection and decreases pain.

How you will benefit from HBOT

Improves healing
Increases oxygen levels
Reduces swelling
Decreases inflammation
Did You Know?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps Neurological Conditions. HBOT is the only known therapy that can significantly raise the oxygen levels in the brain, which allows for accelerated repair, recovery, and potential neurologic tissue regeneration.

Cancer (Treatment Synergy)
When receiving treatment for cancer, HBOT can work in synergy with chemotherapy, radiation, and the ketogenic diet. It may also mitigate side effects of chemotherapy (such as “chemo brain”), radiation, and decrease the recovery time after surgical procedures. In addition, HBOT is FDA approved to treat latent radiation injury.

Some physicians and patients are concerned that HBOT may actually accelerate the growth of cancer. Several recent studies have shown this not to be the case.

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat cancer side effects aims to reduce the damage to healthy tissue and blood vessels caused by radiation exposure, helping the body become stronger and fight off the disease.

How you will benefit from HBOT

Reduces side effects from radiation exposure
Increases blood oxygen levels
Helps regrow damaged blood vessels
Improves immune system function
Increases the release of stem cells from the bone marrow
As a chemo and radiation sensitizer

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder that weakens the body for prolonged periods. Bed rest does not improve fatigue of this kind, and the condition is actually made worse by physical or mental exertion. The symptoms include muscle exhaustion, inability to sleep, joint pain, headaches, and difficulty concentrating.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy seeks to relieve general fatigue and pain experienced by patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

How you will benefit from HBOT

Relieve general fatigue
Relieve pain
Decrease inflammation

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. Symptoms include widespread or localized muscle and joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and tenderness. Most people with fibromyalgia experience fatigue, sleep disturbances, headache, anxiety, and memory problems. Some also report high sensitivity to noises, lights, smells, and temperature changes.

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat fibromyalgia patients aims to relieve symptoms. How you will benefit from HBOT

Reduce pain and tenderness
Promotes stem cell mobilization
Alleviates sleep disturbances
Allows for accelerated repair, recovery and potential tissue regeneration

Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is considered an autoimmune disease that causes joint pain. Common symptoms include swelling, joint stiffness, fatigue, weight loss and redness. Rheumatoid arthritis, for which there’s no cure, can also lead to bone erosion.

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of joints over time from wear and tear. Inflammation is typically localized to the joint. Osteoarthritis is the most common reason total joint replacements occur.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases oxygen in the bloodstream up to 1,200% above normal levels and dramatically decreases inflammation.

How you will benefit from HBOT

Reduces swelling
Decreases inflammation
Reduces pain

Sports Injuries
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy plays an important role in optimizing athletic performance and recovery of athletic activities. But perhaps, more significantly, it also accelerates recovery from sports-related injuries and surgery, enabling athletes to get back on the field faster.

The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat sports injuries aims to relieve symptoms, accelerate recovery, and optimize performance.

How you will benefit from HBOT

Reduce inflammation & pain
Optimize cellular function
Accelerate recovery from on-field injury
Stimulation of new blood vessel growth in injured tissue
Mobilization of stem cells to area of injury
Amplifies performance and recovery from training
Decrease scarring
