My first post on hyperbaric oxygen therapy was in June of 2017. I am happy to announce that it may be closer to us then we think. HBOT America is located in Houston, Texas and provides the therapy through the breathing in of 100% oxygen at a greater than normal pressure.
Through short sessions in a pressurized chamber that delivers 100% pure oxygen, hyperbaric therapy—
· Decreases Inflammation
· Saturates the body with oxygen, increasing the oxygen level by 20-30%.
· Increases the body’s ability to fight infection.
· Creates new capillaries and increases blood flow.
· Stimulates the body to create new blood cells
· Increases the body’s production of stem cell
· Accelerates the rate of healing (HBOT America, 2015)

There is also New Life medical group in Jackson, TN. Although Lupus and Fibromyalgia are not listed on the website, I have been told that Dr. Schmidt has treated both conditions.
If insurance does not cover they offer financing. The cost estimate I received is as follows:
One treatment is $220. When combined in a package 10, 20, 30, 40 treatments the cost goes down significantly. How many treatments is based on what Dr. Schmidt recommends.

FYI for all of you living in North East Arkansas you may have noticed that hyperbaric oxygen is offered at St. Bernards Wound Healing Center. With that said, unfortunately, it does not offer the therapy to treat Lupus or Fibromyalgia as it is strictly for wound healing.
If you know of other places offering this service please comment below. If you have had treatment with HBOT I would love to hear about your experience.
