John Giordano, President and Founder of G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center and co-founder Jerry Goldfarb believe Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT as it's known in the medical industry, is the new paradigm in repairing damaged brain cells due to long-term drug and/or alcohol use.
G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center is one of only a few addiction treatment facilities in the world to make Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy available to its clients.
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all of the body's fluids, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and the bone and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues and the body can support its own healing process. The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.
John Giordano first saw the potential in HBOT when he came to learn that large doses of oxygen can improve brain functions thus helping a person who has damaged their brain by abusing drugs and/or alcohol over extended periods of time. Although HBOT has only recently become available to his clients, Mr. Giordano is very encouraged by what he has seen. "After just a few treatments, my clients tell me they have much more clarity in thought and find that they're much more alert"! says Giordano. "Physically, the change is palpable their skin color comes back almost immediately, their overall look is healthier and the swagger is back in their step."
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is recognized by most as the cure for decompression sickness -- the bends -- experienced by scuba divers who surface too quickly. However, doctors and researchers both agree that we've only scratched the surface of full healing potential of HBOT. There are currently 13 conditions treatable with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy that are approved by the FDA in the US.
Additionally, the therapy has shown great promise in the "off-label" treatment of a myriad of diseases and injuries such as: brain trauma, stroke, cancer, sports injuries, migraines, depression, multiple sclerosis, autism, cerebral palsy and senility to name just a mere few. The treatment itself is painless and non-invasive. It involves the patient sitting or reclining in a pressurized chamber with levels of oxygen up to 100% for anywhere between one and three hours.
The protocols developed by Giordano are firmly based in the successful results of Dr. Paul G. Harch's research. Harsh is considered to be the world's foremost expert on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and author of "The Oxygen Revolution." Dr. Harch's findings provided the indisputable empirical data that clearly demonstrates the damaged brain cell repairing and rejuvenation qualities of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The results of his work have been published in the leading peer review medical journals.
Mr. Giordano is gifted in the respect that he has the ability to see the new, cutting-edge protocols of the future through the blinding fog all of those currently considered experimental. Over twenty-years ago John was instrumental and played a major role in ushering the holistic element into traditional addiction treatment protocols. Today he feels the same confidence in HBOT that he felt for Holistic back in the day. He believes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will become a standard at addiction treatment facilities worldwide in the very near future.
