Hyperbaric Centers of Texas was established in 2004 to treat both FDA approved indications and “off-label” (non FDA approved) indications that have been unavailable to patients, either due to lack of insurance coverage or to limited income.
Most of the “off-label” conditions have been studied quite extensively and have shown remarkable results with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Some of these conditions include: Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Sports Injuries, RSD and Cerebral Palsy.

that if people get infections fairly if people get infections fairly if people get infections fairly frequently frequently frequently and are sick fairly frequently they may and are sick fairly frequently they may and are sick fairly frequently they may be be be truly immune deficient and not know it truly immune deficient and not know it truly immune deficient and not know it and that's what you saw in the extreme case with what you saw in the extreme case with the bubble boy in houston years ago the bubble boy in houston years ago the bubble boy in houston years ago where he had no immune system and that's where he had no immune system and that's where he had no immune system and that's called gamma globulin and gamma globulin called gamma globulin and gamma globulin called gamma globulin and gamma globulin is is is a protein that helps you fight a protein that helps you fight a protein that helps you fight infections and if you're gamma deficient infections and if you're gamma deficient infections and if you're gamma deficient gamma globulin deficient gamma globulin deficient gamma globulin deficient then you may not fight infections free then you may not fight infections free then you may not fight infections free well well well and have frequent either ear infections and have frequent either ear infections and have frequent either ear infections sinus infections sinus infections sinus infections pneumonia that type of thing pneumonia that type of thing pneumonia that type of thing a lot of doctors do not look at gamma a lot of doctors do not look at gamma a lot of doctors do not look at gamma globulin globulin globulin there's different tests there's a test there's different tests there's a test there's different tests there's a test that looks at the total gamma globulin that looks at the total gamma globulin that looks at the total gamma globulin and then there's a test that looks at and then there's a test that looks at and then there's a test that looks at gamma globulin one gamma globulin one gamma globulin one two three and four which better helps two three and four which better helps two three and four which better helps define define define uh just what part is deficient uh just what part is deficient uh just what part is deficient because you can't have a total normal because you can't have a total normal because you can't have a total normal but uh igg one as we call it deficient
Creating a new movement 3:54
but uh igg one as we call it deficient but uh igg one as we call it deficient so that's wonderful because i i know so that's wonderful because i i know so that's wonderful because i i know most people most people most people as simple as vitamins and and as simple as vitamins and and as simple as vitamins and and taking the the proper supplements they taking the the proper supplements they taking

today is creating a new particular show today is creating a new movement it's creating something new movement it's creating something new movement it's creating something new is going from a place where you are is going from a place where you are is going from a place where you are dissatisfied dissatisfied dissatisfied uh to a place where you're satisfied uh to a place where you're satisfied uh to a place where you're satisfied because you've created in you because you've created in you because you've created in you that new movement and i and i mentioned that new movement and i and i mentioned that new movement and i and i mentioned that the new movement that the new movement that the new movement has to start with creating momentum has to start with creating momentum has to start with creating momentum there has to be momentum first there has to be momentum first there has to be momentum first before movement begins and sometimes before movement begins and sometimes before movement begins and sometimes those momentum those momentum those momentum to create that momentum is taking small to create that momentum is taking small to create that momentum is taking small action steps action steps action steps and multivitamins and supplementation and multivitamins and supplementation and multivitamins and supplementation and those very small over-the-counter and those very small over-the-counter and those very small over-the-counter uh type of of of care uh type of of of care uh type of of of care uh is exactly that momentum creating uh is exactly that momentum creating uh is exactly that momentum creating it's a small little action steps that it's a small little action steps that it's a small little action steps that can can can lead to the movement of an of boosting lead to the movement of an of boosting lead to the movement of an of boosting an immunity an immunity an immunity uh to have a stronger immunity would you uh to have a stronger immunity

medical associates we have a group of tools that we work with a group of tools that we work with a group of tools that we work with one is i take a very thorough history one is i take a very thorough history one is i take a very thorough history looking at sequence of events before looking at sequence of events before looking at sequence of events before they were ill they were ill they were ill and once they got ill where they were and once they got ill where they were and once they got ill where they were living living living what they were doing uh what type of what they were doing uh what type of what they were doing uh what type of activities they were doing activities they were doing activities they were doing and then we map out tests that will help and then we map out tests that will help and then we map out tests that will help us define what's going on whether that's us define what's going on whether that's us define what's going on whether that's an allergy from seasonal allergens or an allergy from seasonal allergens or an allergy from seasonal allergens or food allergy or whether it's exposure to food allergy or whether it's exposure to food allergy or whether it's

mold toxins at home the black mold produces a chemical mold produces a chemical mold produces a chemical which is not alive but it's a chemical which is not alive but it's a chemical which is not alive but it's a chemical that you absorb in your system that that you absorb in your system that that you absorb in your system that affects your brain and your mitochondria affects your brain and your mitochondria affects your brain and your mitochondria the mitochondria then tend to shut down the mitochondria then tend to shut down the mitochondria then tend to shut down and not produce that atp and not produce that atp and not produce that atp which makes you fatigued and once we define what is going on from and once we define what is going on from the blood test the blood test the blood test from diagnostic tests such as what i from diagnostic tests such as what i from diagnostic tests such as what i mentioned mentioned mentioned or sometimes cat scans mris ultrasounds or sometimes

oxygen treatment and for those that aren't familiar with it those that aren't familiar with it those that aren't familiar with it hyperbaric oxygen hyperbaric oxygen hyperbaric oxygen treatment occurs in a chamber many of treatment occurs in a chamber many of treatment occurs in a chamber many of you you you seen jock cousteau and the dive chambers seen jock cousteau and the dive chambers seen jock cousteau and the dive chambers they use these they use these they use these chambers for treating the bins and chambers for treating the bins and chambers for treating the bins and diving accidents but in medicine diving accidents but in medicine diving accidents but in medicine for years they've used it to treat for years they've used it to treat for years they've used it to treat diabetic wounds diabetic wounds diabetic wounds which increases the oxygen to which increases the oxygen to which increases the oxygen to all parts of the body 10 to 15 times all parts of the body 10 to 15 times all parts of the body 10 to 15 times normally your red blood cells are what normally your red blood cells are what normally your red blood cells are what carry oxygen in your blood vessels carry oxygen in your blood vessels carry oxygen in your blood vessels with hyperbaric oxygen when you're in an with hyperbaric oxygen when you're in an with hyperbaric oxygen when you're in an enclosed chamber under pressure enclosed chamber under pressure enclosed chamber under pressure breathing 100 oxygen it saturates the breathing 100 oxygen it saturates the breathing 100 oxygen it saturates the whole blood vessel whole blood vessel whole blood vessel so that's how you're able to deliver 10 so that's how you're able to deliver 10 so that's how you're able to deliver 10 to 15 times more oxygen to the tissues to 15 times more oxygen to the tissues to 15 times more oxygen to the tissues so it not only will heal a wound it so it not only will heal a wound it so it not only will heal a wound it

they aren't recovering uh hyperbaric they aren't recovering uh hyperbaric they aren't recovering uh hyperbaric helps heal that brain helps heal that brain helps heal that brain in in the concussed individual in in the concussed individual in in the concussed individual there's a recent study out that shows there's a recent study out that shows there's a recent study out that shows that that that 80 percent of the people with concussion 80 percent of the people with concussion 80 percent of the people with concussion the kids with concussion the kids with concussion the kids with concussion are better after five days of one hour are better after five days of one hour are better after five days of one hour hyperbaric treatment and they're symptom hyperbaric treatment and they're symptom hyperbaric treatment and they're symptom free after five days free after five days free after five days in this new study so it's really in this new study so it's really in this new study so it's really interesting uh interesting uh interesting uh when we start looking at the cause and when we start looking at the cause and when we start looking at the cause and how to heal
