A novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019. The illness caused by this virus has been named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

I have had MS for many years and have used Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment or HDOT, at the Sussex MS Centre in Southwick, which involves sitting in a pressure chamber for an hour and breathing 100 per cent oxygen via a face mask.

It is not a cure but over many years it has been shown that long term, regular use of HDOT can and does slow down the progression of symptoms and helps in the management of symptoms.

The one treatment which is having positive successful results on even severely infected COVID 19 patients is HDOT.

There are two medical papers published at the end of June in the Medical Gas Research Journal.

The first by Dr Paul Harch, New Orleans, USA. The second by Emeritus Professor Philip James of the University of Dundee.

Both papers refer to five severely infected patients in Wuhan, China, who were given several sessions of HDOT. The COVID 19 virus attacks the lungs causing hypoxia, or inflammation and hypoxemia which is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the body tissues.

Ventilators are inadequate to cope with the lung inflammation. HDOT is a high dosage of oxygen under pressure. All the patients treated in China recovered and no side effects were reported.

Several other countries are using HDOT where pressure chambers are available. New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Moscow, Tel Aviv, Toulon, Iran, Wuhan. Several hundred people have been treated.

This is not saying that HDOT is a cure for the virus but it is combatting the progressive hypoxemia and hypoxia inflammation of the lungs, which has resulted in so many deaths.

The patients have recovered to receive normal medical treatment and the vaccine if and when it is found. The Harch and James papers can be read in the following link: http://www.medgasres.com/mci.asp

What is the government saying about this? What is the national press reporting about this? Absolutely nothing! Total silence!

In short, HDOT will not prevent COVID 19 infections but it is saving many lives.

If applied now it could be the only way we have so far of preventing the UK death rate from rising to 50,000.
