Dr. Paul Harch Discusses Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Cerebral Palsy on NOLA Now with Shelby Latino

Dr. Paul Harch Discusses Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Cerebral Palsy on Fox 8's NOLA Now Can oxygen help the brain heal? In a recent interview on **NOLA Now**, Dr. Paul G. Harch joined host Shelby Latino to discuss how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is changing the conversation about neurological recovery, including its potential role in helping individuals living with cerebral palsy (CP). Drawing from more than three decades of clinical experience and the principles outlined in his book *The Oxygen Revolution*, Dr. Harch explains that HBOT is more than simply breathing oxygen under pressure. When properly prescribed, hyperbaric oxygen can stimulate the body's natural healing processes by supporting neuroplasticity, reducing inflammation, improving blood flow, and activating genes involved in tissue repair. Cerebral palsy results from an injury to the developing brain, but some affected brain tissue may remain alive and capable of improved function. Dr. Harch discusses how individualized HBOT protocols are designed to support these metabolically impaired areas, offering the possibility of meaningful functional improvements for some patients. Every patient is unique, and HBOT is not a cure for cerebral palsy. However, many families seek this therapy as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program aimed at maximizing recovery and quality of life.
