I know people from my country (who suffer from either CD or UC) who have tried oxygen therapy and reported it really helped them. Apparently,
oxygen therapy limits the amount of inflammation in the bowels, lowers the CRP values, lowers sedimentation values ...
As oxygen therapy treatments are expensive I'm trying to get as much info about it as I can so that I can decide whether to spend 2000 euros (+ the expences for accomodation and food) for a 15 day treatment or not. :shifty-t:
