2. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Enhancing Immune Function

Our body’s tissues need oxygen to function. The air we breathe is 21% oxygen. Many people, however, do not breathe properly (from their diaphragm) and consequently, their body is oxygen deprived, leading to a terrain that is vulnerable to dis-ease. Our pets’ modern lifestyle does not promote daily deep breathing either. High-intensity exercise would create this deep breathing (hunting, chasing, and wrestling with their prey), but most pets do not experience high-intensity exercise daily.

The benefit of using hyperbaric oxygen chambers is the ability to safely increase the atmospheric pressure, resulting in an increase in blood oxygen concentration. This increase in blood oxygen is then able to diffuse deeper into the muscles and tissues, creating an oxygen-rich environment. Soft-sided hyperbaric chambers can reach 1.3 atmospheres of pressure and deliver the benefit of HBOT therapy.

These devices are affordable, and many people have purchased them for home use where they can be used for the whole family, 2 and 4 legged.

How does HBOT work?

• Enhanced Oxygen Delivery: The increased pressure in the chamber allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively in the blood plasma, reaching areas with compromised blood flow and aiding in tissue repair.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: HBOT reduces inflammation, a common underlying factor in many chronic conditions.

• Immune System Boost: High levels of oxygen help white blood cells kill bacteria more efficiently and stimulate the production of new blood vessels, enhancing the body’s natural defense mechanisms.

• Toxin Neutralization: HBOT assists in neutralizing toxins produced by bacteria, reducing the overall burden on the body. Conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic skin infections can benefit from HBOT.

3. PEMF Therapy: Stress Reduction And Immune Support

The body, whether human or animal, is a sophisticated machine, with many of the functions running without our conscious control. Our Autonomic Nervous System has two main components: sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic system is responsible for the “fight or flight” response (something is trying to kill you, and you need to save yourself), while the parasympathetic system is responsible for “rest, digest, detoxify, and heal.”

When in a parasympathetic state, the body can take in nutrients for growth, repair, reproduction, and immune function while detoxifying and eliminating waste and toxins.

To help my patients quickly go into a parasympathetic state, I utilize an FDA-approved PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequencies) device.

Magnesphere Therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic frequencies in the Pica Tesla ranges to entrain the body’s natural frequencies back to normal. Most PEMF devices use high frequencies that interrupt the body's signal, temporarily relieving symptoms but not resolving the issue. The Magnesphere can be programmed for all parasympathetic frequencies, all sympathetic frequencies, or a combination.

How Magnesphere Therapy Works

• The Magnesphere device generates a low-level, uniform magnetic field through copper wires. This magnetic field interacts with and entrains the body’s autonomic nervous system to return to a normal state.

• It specifically targets the dorsal root of the vagus nerve, which plays a significant role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system.

• By stimulating the vagus nerve, the therapy helps induce a state of deep relaxation, promoting ideal conditions for the body to heal.
