Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is just one tool in our toolkit for reversing early-stage Alzheimer's in our residents.

We’re seeing them reclaim their memory, feel steady on their feet and hold a conversation again.

Here is how it works:

We already help residents with healthy food, exercise, vitamins, and saunas.

But when we added oxygen therapy, everything changed.

This is another example of a resident regaining her memory: remembering what state they live in, their city and playing music again.

Firstly, how does Alzheimer's develop?

It starts with sugar.

Americans eat 152 pounds yearly, which causes insulin resistance in the brain—what scientists call "type 3 diabetes."

The excess sugar literally burns your brain tissue.

What else drives it?

Blood vessel damage after age 50 starves neurons of oxygen, causing brain shrinkage.

Amyloid plaques & tau tangles build up—they're the result of sugar damage, infections, and toxins creating clumped, damaged proteins.

What are early signs of it?

• Forgetting recent talks repeatedly
• Brain fog and trouble focusing
• Mood changes and more depression
• Pulling away from social activities
• Trouble finding words mid-sentence

Damage starts 30-40 years before diagnosis.

Along with a keto diet, getting daily sunlight, eating real, natural foods, we've added HBOT to help reverse it.

How it works: patients breathe in oxygen through a tube or chamber, the oxygen is forced into the brain plasma under pressure, bypassing broken glucose metabolism.

Here are the 3 main benefits of it:

#1: Bypasses broken glucose metabolism

When insulin resistance prevents your brain from using glucose for energy, HBOT forces oxygen directly into brain plasma

This gives starved mitochondria an alternative fuel source to produce ATP.

#2: Releases healing stem cells

• Triggers 200% more stem cells into circulation than normal
• Stem cells travel to damaged brain areas to begin repair
• Help rebuild neural pathways and connections that Alzheimer's destroys, even without added oxygen

#3: Grows new blood vessel networks Over 20-30 sessions, HBOT stimulates angiogenesis—the creation of new blood vessels.

This restores long-term oxygen delivery to brain areas damaged by chronic metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.

The results speak for themselves.

Through HBOT, our residents are:

• Walking without falling, talking without forgetting
• Feeling happy after years of sadness
• "It's wonderful to feel alive again" - real quote.

The brain CAN heal when you give it what it needs.

After what I've seen, I think everyone over 50 should know about this.

At A Paradise for Parents, we use this alongside our other solutions:

• Low-carb diet
• Red light therapy
• Daily exercise

All this together makes healing possible - not just one treatment alone.

But there's a problem we face right now:

HBOT requires 30-60 treatments per person for cognitive recovery.

We've seen how life-changing this therapy is, but expanding it to all our residents requires substantial funding for treatment costs.

This is why we need your support.

Help us bring this therapy to all residents.

We're aiming to raise $200k for treatments, transportation, and medical costs.

Every dollar helps restore someone's grandparent’s lost memories and gives families their loved ones back.
