sharing my experence with hyperbaric oxgyen therapy (HBOT) for UC

Sun, March 01, 2020 5:19 PM

Hi everyone! I know this is an unusual post. I recently created a very personal blog sharing what I’ve learned from over a decade of working to get my own colitis into remission -without the use of biologics or steroids (my personal goal). As a doc (MD), it has given me a very unique perspective to be on both sides of this disease. I'm not trying to sell anything at all.

I’m including links to my posts on the experimental treatment I went through in 2017 which really changed everything for me (hyperbaric oxygen therapy). There’s so much mis-information out there about it. I sincerely hope that some of you find the info in my blog to be helpful. I truly wish everyone freedom from this crazy condition!! The hyperlinks may not work - you may need to copy and paste the links.

HBOT is not currently supported by enough scientific data the impossible quiz to be considered a successful treatment for UC. HBOT may help with the disease's symptoms, according to some research, although these findings have not been verified. drift boss
