Episode 30: Dr Michael Gonevski - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Manage episode 321962355 series 2949473
Dr Michael Gonevski has been administering Long Covid sufferers with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) since the condition emerged. The treatment, generally used for diving related oxygen issues and difficult to heal wounds, is a daily course in which patients breathe 100% oxygen at pressure. The theory is that the oxygen is diffused into the blood plasma, providing more than ten times the normal supply of oxygen, which is then able to reach cells that have been shut off, repairing damaged tissues, supporting the body's ability to heal and alleviating symptoms. Gonevski extols that the treatment can save a limb from amputation. With a clinical controlled trial in the pipeline, we look forward to seeing whether it could save Long Covid sufferers from being cut off from their former lives.
