Lyme disease, first discovered in 1975, is an infectious illness transmitted by ticks. In the past decade, this disease has spread across the nation and has increased in incidence ten-fold. Lyme disease may produce muscle and joint pain, immune system dysfunction, nervous system abnormalities, cardiac problems, and fever.
Generally, if an aggressive antibiotic program is initiated in the early stage of the illness, successful treatment is achieved. Unfortunately, many of the infected either do not initially know they have the disease or do not adequately respond to the antibiotics and are essentially incapacitated by the illness.
New and exciting research showing the efficacy of HBOT now offers hope to individuals crippled by chronic Lyme disease. Dr. William Fife at Texas A&M University has published extensive research demonstrating profound improvements in chronic Lyme disease patients treated with HBOT. These improvements include pain reduction, return of mental clarity, reduction of depression, and the ability to discontinue the antibiotics.
