HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
OxyCare wishes to make this available commercially to those that need it e.g. cancer patients, those with conditions such as MND or who have sports injuries.
There is strong support in some circles for using HBOT to help improve the quality of life of veterans - as such OxyCare would like to also provide this service free of charge to military charity, Pilgrim Bandits (the commercial side of the business will fund this work).
Advocates say that the treatment may benefit those who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) and those who have PTSD.

BRAIN INJURY AND TRAUMA
When cells in the brain die, either from trauma or lack of oxygen, blood plasma leaks out into surrounding brain tissue causing swelling and reducing blood flow. These otherwise normal cells go dormant because they can’t function without the appropriate amount of oxygen.
HBOT dramatically increases the oxygen carried in the blood plasma, making oxygen available to heal damaged capillary walls, preventing plasma leakage and reducing swelling.
As the swelling decreases, blood flow can be restored to the dormant tissue (neovascularization) and these cells then have the potential to function again.
