ADVERTORIAL

OxyGeneration is reversing long Covid-19 symptoms THE SCIENCE FOR OXYGENERATION THE BIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA Is best explained by scientists who say that “It reverses the hypoxic (shortage of oxygen) tissue injury at cellular level caused by severe hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood). The extra dosage of oxygen under pressure is the biological reason it’s best for Long Covid symptoms. Mr Lynch said: “The worst thing at first was that people with Long Covid feared that nothing could be done, but luckily for them hyperbaric oxygenation is reversing long Covid-19 symptoms.” At OxyGeneration, it’s the same scientific basis that hospitals use the chamber for - recovery from stubborn or chronic inflammation, tissue injury, pain and infection in diseases. It’s helping tissue injury in Long Covid resulting in improvement in neurological problems such as brain fog, balance, headaches, impaired daily function/mobility and importantly fatigue. Other evidence based uses are for helping other symptoms such as autonomic function, lung injury, inflammation, myocardial injury, insomnia, urology problems, gastrointestinal tissue injury, sepsis and pain. With GP or consultant referrals, one gets 20% tax relief.

OPE for those with Long Covid symptoms is a reality. “There was a massive upsurge of interest after the RTE story was published about James Owens a GAA referee who recovered from Long Covid by using hyperbaric oxygenation” said Brian Lynch a Galway-based solicitor and co-founder of OxyGeneration on Merchants Road in Galway. OxyGeneration uses a 14-seat chamber similar in shape and size to the cabin of a private jet. It confirmed yesterday that 33% of new clients coming to OxyGeneration between 1 January and 30 June 2022 were for Long Covid or Vaccine Injury. For all medical conditions however, since January, 39.3% of clients came due to word of mouth referrals. The number of GPs and consultants referring has doubled in the same period. Medical professionals must take reasonable care to

make disclosure about not just the recommended treatment options, but also the reasonable alternative or variant options. Hospitals and hyperbaric centres in different parts of the world are reporting lifesaving improvements and studies have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals supporting their findings for hyperbaric oxygenation. This is based on the best existing evidence available at the time. BBC and CNN have also reported on these studies. Mr Lynch said: “It’s a good news story of a treatment that is used in hospitals and private clinics like ours to reverse tissue injury, inflammation and sepsis. Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham made hyperbaric oxygenation famous by using it. The world saw their rapid recovery from sport injuries. Hyperbaric oxygenation has the same powerful therapeutic effect on hypoxic tissue injury at a cellular level as cells injured by

Hyperbaric oxygenation in hospitals has saved lives. It’s used to prevent neurological dysfunction caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, gas embolism, decompression sickness (the bends) and in brain injury in emergency medicine. In the USA, hyperbaric oxygenation for concussion from sports injury has become part of the NFL recommendations. According to Professor Philip James the author of Oxygen and the Brain: “Tissues are collections of cells each surrounded by watery interstitial fluid and the watery content can increase because the damaged walls of blood vessels leak.” This leakage is the inflammation. Cells can drown and die”

COVID-19.” Former Clare hurling captain, Patrick O’Connor from personal experience has praised its use for sports injury. Other supporters and advocates include IRFU and GAA players, medics and team managers. There is also a chamber at University Hospital Galway. “West of Ireland GPs and consultants who were familiar with success using hyperbaric oxygenation were nonetheless ahead of medical leaders in Dublin. However, the Beacon Hospital’s Post Covid Clinic consultants are now recommending hyperbaric oxygenation.” Mr Lynch, has personally used 57 sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation in Dublin for trauma induced injury and surgery recovery in 2015 so was inspired to set up OxyGeneration in the west in 2018.

The cell healing demonstrates hyperbaric oxygenation working. Hyperbaric oxygenation works on a cellular level to help the underlying injury heal and so reduces inflammation during each session, relieves pain and accelerates recovery. Hyperbaric oxygenation helps the body’s own immune system and is a well-established treatment option for pain management as it helps reverse the cause of pain. It is becoming the preferred treatment option for many people as it can reduce the amount of time on pain medication and other drugs.

Health Insurance Coverage “IRISH LIFE HEALTH are congratulated by their members as it was the first Irish company to cover a list of medical conditions here at OxyGeneration and it’s hoped that others will follow” said Jennifer Flaherty yesterday at OxyGeneration. The conditions covered are on the website. In addition to the publicity for hyperbaric oxygenation caused by sports stars using it for concussion or rapid sports injury recovery, hyperbaric chambers are part of mainstream medicine. Prior to Long Covid dominating its current use, this oxygenation was most frequently used internationally as a concurrent treatment for arterial insufficiency (oxygen shortage) to prevent limb amputations such as for people with diabetes, non-union open

fractures or any surgery recovery. Diabetics are susceptible to developing ulcers in their lower legs and feet that heal poorly and can sometimes lead to amputations. One should read client’s testimonials on the back page of the paper. The next three most common uses in Europe are (1) tissue injury side effects of radiation oncology in cancer treatment, (2) reducing the risk of complications or failure in plastic surgery including breast cancer surgery and (3) significant burns to the skin. In Japan, it’s the number one (concurrent) treatment for any brain dysfunction from concussion in sport to dementia in later years because it became the doctors’ and patients’ preferred option.
