The Oxygen Cure - by William S Maxfield (Paperback)

About the Book

"Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. According to Dr. William Maxfield, HBOT has applications in almost all segments of modern medicine, and is poised to move from "the best kept medical secret" to becoming a usual and customary therapy for a wide range of medical conditions. When correctly applied, HBOT not only benefits patients, HBOT can also result in greatly reduced medical costs too. In this accessible and informative guide, Dr. Maxwell provides his recommendations for how HBOT can help treat conditions as varied as burn care, emphysema, arthritis, fibromyalgia, wound healing, stroke, congestive heart failure, autism, cancer, diabetes, and more. Each chapter will cover a different condition, offer strategies about exactly how HBOT should be administered, and interviews/stories from real life patients who have been treated effectively with HBOT. The book will also include references for further information, and recommendations on where to seek the best treatments"--

Book Synopsis

The Best-Kept Secret in Medicine

In the United States, the FDA currently recognizes hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for 14 conditions, including decompression sickness, embolism, crush injury, bone infection, burns, wound healing, severe anemia, and several others.

Now, in The Oxygen Cure, hyperbaric expert William S. Maxfield, M.D., will convince you that HBOT is a vastly underused modality that deserves to take its place among frontline medical treatments. As a holistic treatment, HBOT targets the underlying disease or condition, not just the symptoms.

The Oxygen Cure reveals how hundreds of studies on HBOT conducted around the world prove it works at the cellular level to help or heal conditions such as:

• Stroke
• Chemo-Related Side Effects
• Epilepsy
• Fibromyalgia
• Emphysema & Asthma
• ADHD
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Cardiac Diseases
• Migraine & Vertigo
• Early Dementia
• Vision Loss
• Multiple Sclerosis & Parkinson's Disease
• Traumatic Brain Injury & PTSD
• And Dozens More

Full of hope-inspiring case histories and expert findings, The Oxygen Cure shows how HBOT not only benefits the sick and injured (including our wounded veterans), but may also reduce our country's staggeringly high medical costs.

HBOT often provides a safe alternative to drug therapy and dangerous invasive procedures.
