Like many
serious diseases, Lyme disease causes an oxygen deficiency. One very
distressing symptom is often called "air hunger," and it can make
you feel like a fish out of water. No matter how deeply you breathe,
you just can't seem to get enough air.
Increasing the available oxygen is a must for healing. Any sort of
exercise that increases your oxygen intake seems to be invaluable
for beating Lyme, and most of the people I've interviewed who are
healing or healed from Lyme engage regularly in physical exercise,
activities ranging from brisk walking, running to swimming and
vigorous biking.
Some people use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as an adjunctive Lyme
treatment. HBOT administers oxygen at high atmospheric pressure,
saturating the body with oxygen and increasing the total available
amount. To receive a treatment, you climb into a chamber where pure
oxygen is delivered at three times the normal atmospheric pressure.
Among US doctors, HBOT is controversial, although it has been
commonly used for many years to treat burns, injuries from car
accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke inhalation and other
sorts of trauma. It has also proven valuable in treating people with
AIDS and HIV, and others who suffer from opportunistic infections
resulting from immuno-suppression.
HBOT is widely used in Europe and other countries to treat people
suffering with multiple sclerosis, those who are recovering from
strokes, and people suffering from drug and alcohol addiction.
Although HBOT is still controversial in the US, it is gaining
acceptance and used by conventional and alternative doctors.
