Hyperbaric: information in relation to traumatic brain injury and inflammatory conditions associated with autism (CME track/practitioner registrants only)
Multiple factors need to be considered when trying to solve the puzzle of autism spectrum disorders. Many mediators add to inflammation in the body, which affects the gut-brain axis. After considering which factors might affect the function of the intestines, including harmful infections and triggers, I will discuss the current research on detoxification and hyperbarics in ASD.
I will also present evidence-based information on how hyperbaric therapies helped reverse the damage of traumtic brain injury of a 2-year-old drowning victim, illustrating how hyperbaric therapies affect the function of the brain and inflammatory conditions.
