Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for LONG-COVID, called HOT-LoCo; an examination of the LONG post COVID-19 syndromes (especially residual pulmonary disease) by Dr. Peter McCullough (Courageous Discourse)
People are suffering now and begging for something to deal with LONG-COVID weakness, depression, muscle fatigue and loss of mass, hair loss, sleep disturbance, anosmia, tinnitus, headaches etc.
Dr. McCullough (see his substack) raises very critical issues here and I wanted to share some information and unpack this a bit more. The LONG-COVID symptoms are real, either due to the virus that you have recovered from, or the ravages of the COVID gene injection vaccine, whether mRNA or DNA platforms. LONG-COVID is real. Our argument has been that the gene injection vaccine drives debilitating symptoms akin to post viral infection and for some it is life-altering and can even be destructive.
One may argue that hyperbaric oxygen treatment for LONG-COVID is still nascent and emerging yet the principle seems sound. The issue really is that of cost (can be prohibitively expensive), accessibility, and practicality for it is indeed safe. No doubt we need more rigorous study with proper randomized controlled trials to tease out cause. Yet what has emerged thus far is promising. Cost really is the rate limiting step and the time to invest in the treatment, as currently offered.
McCullough has treated many COVID patients especially severe ones and states that ‘approximately 50% of patients hospitalized with severe respiratory COVID-19 suffer from post-COVID-19 syndromes including weakness, depression, muscle fatigue and loss of mass, hair loss, sleep disturbance, anosmia, tinnitus, headaches, and general inanition.’ People are hurting and seek remedies and a path to recovery and fast. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) based on a set of consecutive treatments whereby the entire body is placed inside the HBOT chamber, is emerging as beneficial. It shows promise for LONG COVID. HBOT is typically a specialized advanced approach used to treat severe wounds etc. in that it speeds healing time and uses pure oxygen as part of the treatment.
McCullough supports this treatment approach for LONG-COVID and I too see benefit. I join him in calling for more rigorous study, optimally via large sample sized randomized clinical trials. This approach needs further study and serious consideration.
The following studies should give some more background:
Thanks for sharing this Dr. Paul - HBOT is a very powerful tool and should be utilized far more often than it is, the number and variety of ailments it could treat are vast. It should absolutely be covered by insurance, it’s a travesty that it’s not. It would be if pharma could find a way to profit from it of course. I’ve had several sessions of HBOT for a number of severe chronic health issues and have always benefitted. (I’m very fortunate to live in an area where it’s available).
I’m very happy to see you’re helping to get the word out thank you!
Most of those symptoms are also caused by electrosensitivity. Wonder if Dr. McCullough is advising his patients to eliminate wireless use and exposure as much as possible as a part of treatment. 5G ramped up the same time as the pandemic, was untested for safety, but research on prior and continuing generations of wireless show it is harmful. This invisible and pervasive pollution is flying under physicians' radar with respect to diagnosis and patients are suffering from their ignorance.
