Are you needing to be a FLU-FIGHTER? ILH has LOTS of Modalities to help you Recover Quicker!

From a flu-like state, the core issue to address in relieving symptoms and boosting immune system, is INFLAMMATION.
I’m 100% convinced after my own experiences, that m/HBOT & combination therapy help with anti-inflammation, reduction of severity, and I’ve seen for myself how it promotes recovery.
Whether the virus/bacteria is attacking the nose & throat, or it’s the gut, or more like your body has been run over by a truck…andddd, any combination of the above
I’ve heard from many others around me that they are, or have experienced, longer term symptoms from the flu. My personal experience with long term C-19 from 2021, and then a flu in 2022, would add some odd lingering symptoms that the modalities at ILH have helped me recover from:
HBOT: Since committing to at least 2 mild sessions a week for the last 4 to 6 weeks, my sleep is much better, my nightly charley horses have reduced, my mood and energy is more even keel, my motivation is elevated, the occasional bad headache from TMJ is reduced, the inflammation in my right ear and tonsil area is reduced, and auto immune inflammatory ‘episodes’ can be managed while shortened in duration.
Lights: Well, as you all who read this blog often know, I think lights are my ibuprofen/acetaminophen anymore…not that I relied on that stuff as a first resort ever anyway, but, you get the point…I LOVE OUR LIGHTS! I write with my head cap on for brain fog or overstimulation from computer work; I put the eye mask around the back area of my neck and shoulder for that part affected by typing too much, and then the big red pad on my feet, lower back or knees for anti-inflammation & pain relief through igniting cellular regeneration. It works!
Sauna: Detoxification is key to boosting the immune system because it helps prevent the ability of pathogens and heavy metals to cause more havoc on the system…an energetic immune system is an efficient immune system. The level of sweating I experience, along with the really cool experience of selecting a color for targeted light therapy offers me tangible release of toxins, with my kidney’s feeling it; swelling/bloating reduced, and my glands being much less lumpy bumpy from my condition.
TRT: When the flu brings respiratory issues that land in the bronchial, chest and lung area to bring lingering coughs that feel like you’re expelling from the belly button, is when I have turned to Edna for TRT. Hours after a treatment It’s typical for me to have a very productive coughing attack to eliminate a bunch of irritating mucous. The TRT stimulated stem cells flood the area to help the body clear up congestion.
“HBOT forces oxygen into areas of impaired microcirculation because it does not require red blood cells to carry the oxygen. Rather, at high barometric pressure the oxygen is dissolved in the blood serum and the extracellular fluid outside of cells. This raises the oxygen level significantly in hypoxic areas.
During time in the HBOT chamber, oxygen opens narrowed blood vessels by lowering inflammation - which is the cause of the impaired microcirculation. Once a person is out of chamber, these new blood vessels remain open and able to deliver oxygen-rich blood where it is needed.
By reducing inflammation, the catalyst for many diseases is removed. For example, we know that activation of immune cells called microglia and macrophages is at the root of most neurological disorders, including strokes, head injuries, brain infections, autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune disorders (like multiple sclerosis), and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases.” The Blaylock Wellness Report, November 2018, page 3; www.NewsmaxHealth.com
*Hypoxia: condition where a localized area of the body, or at times generalized condition where tissue is deprived of adequate oxygen to exist and thrive.
One of the more common symptoms people struggle with through long term C-19 is neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy (affecting peripheral nerves - your extremities) is the result of damaged brain and spinal cord nerves. It can be a cause associated with diabetes. It can happen due to infections, toxins, injuries or metabolic issues and typically symptoms land in hands and feet.
The symptoms associated with neuropathy are described as pain to a varying degree that can disturb sleep patterns. People wake up in the middle of the night with stabbing pain, or burning and tingling that can jolt them out of bed consistently.
The Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis published a post titled: COVID-19 infection linked to higher risk of neuropathy symptoms. The post goes on to report that after a C-19 positive test neuropathy continued months afterwards.

From the LSPro Light Book on neuropathy and why light helps: “This study was performed on 60 patients with diabetic neuropathy, whereby they were given light therapy twice per week for a full month. The results showed the improvement of neuropathy outcomes in the light -treated group. This study supports and validates the use of light therapy in which the authors noted has been used over the past three decades by physicians for the management and the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.”

While the sauna does not detoxify in and out of itself, it does facilitate excretion of toxins through sweat via the largest organ of the body: the skin. Detoxification is referring to the process by which an organism excretes bio-accumulated toxicants from muscles, adipose tissues & organs out of it’s system.
Next time, I will NOT wait days and days to ask for TRT. For more information on how TRT works, read more here!
