This is just a foundation I feel like that's missing in even conventional alternative, all the health space.

Yeah, it's very challenging.

So twofold. The first to say is that there is some pretty good data that fibromyalgia is can respond to hyperbaric therapy.

In fact, there were some pretty good studies done out of Israel that described fibromyalgia post-traumatic brain injury, that these are like severe concussions or mild, actually moderate to severe concussions, I think that were in the study, or maybe mild to moderate concussion. But regardless, these patients with concussions who develop fibromyalgia

But regardless, these patients with concussions who develop fibromyalgia
were given hyperbaric therapy, were treated with hyperbaric therapy for 40 sessions, which is a common protocol for more of a chronic issue, and their fibromyalgia symptoms went away. Okay. So, and probably this was because they were healing up the brain injury that was kind of the impetus or the nidus for their fibromyalgia. Okay. That's a bit of a unique case.

And there also is another study done at using hyperbaric therapy for fibromyalgia. But the challenge I have found over the years is that fibromyalgia is basically a It's like the common denominator diagnosis for a lot of other things that are going on.

And so if you just use hyperbaric therapy for fibromyalgia, you may see benefit sometimes, but I can promise you the majority of those patients are going to have those symptoms recur over time if what was going on that was the impetus for the fibromyalgia was not also addressed most of the time. This means...

what's going on cellularly, what's going on in the gut, what's going on hormonally, what's going on otherwise to sort of create this myalgic encephalitis or fibromyalgia, as it used to be called.

And if you can work on brain inflammation, if you can work on the gut, if you can work on vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and cofactors at the same time as optimizing in a hyperbaric chamber, that's when I see the most power.

So if, for example, somebody like you, Dylan, said, hey, Dr. Scott, I really want to use hyperbaric therapy for fibromyalgia, I'd be like, the first question I would ask them, are you working with an integrative provider that's helping you underneath the conventional model, understand why you may be having this symptomatology?
