Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a common bacterial infection that spreads to humans by infected ticks. Acute Lime disease is treated with antibiotics, unfortunately, some people continue to suffer from symptoms even after receiving the treatment.

What is Lyme Disease?

Chronic Lyme disease symptoms are difficult to treat, with many patients getting little relief. Untreated, Lyme disease can lead to many symptoms, including joint pain, severe fatigue, cognitive changes such as: memory problems, brain fog, concentration problems, facial paralysis, and chronic pain, additional symptoms include: mood changes, anxiety, sleep disturbances and heart conditions.

Recent research has found that hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) can treat chronic symptoms of Lyme disease and may prove especially effective for patients who are resistant to other treatments.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Lyme Disease

Clinical studies found that HBOT can improve the symptoms of Lyme disease and enhance overall wellbeing and quality of life. HBOT involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a special room known as a HBOT suite. This, combined with the elevated pressure in the suite increases the amount of oxygen in the blood several fold, which helps damaged tissue regenerate and heal faster.

Treatments at The Brain & Performance Centre – A DP World Company increase oxygen concentration in the blood to 10-15 times more than normal. This oxygen then diffuses into the body’s tissue, including its protective biofilm, eradicating the spirochaetes where the Lyme disease causing bacteria live.

Clinical trials have shown that the spirochete that causes Lyme disease cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment. HBOT also treats many of the neurological conditions associated with Lyme disease.

The Brain & Performance Centre – A DP World Company doctors are seeing success with treatment of Lyme patients some of whom have received antibiotics for 10 years or more, without significant improvement. The patients report feeling better than they have in years, and in some cases, have stopped taking antibiotics.

The Brain & Performance Programme

A structured, data-driven programme designed to optimise cognitive and physical performance.

The Brain & Performance Programme integrates advanced hyperbaric oxygen therapy with comprehensive cognitive assessments, targeted physical conditioning, and lifestyle interventions, each component grounded in rigorous scientific evidence and delivered to medical-grade standards. Every aspect of the programme, from diagnostics to treatment and monitoring, is evidence-based, clinically validated, and overseen by medical professionals.

Throughout the programme, key biological and neurological markers are continuously tracked, enabling precise, personalised optimisation of mental clarity, stamina, recovery, and overall brain health.

Assessment

A three-day comprehensive medical, physical and cognitive assessment conducted by certified medical professionals including physicians, neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, dietitians and nurses.

Treatment

An intensive 12-week protocol of HBOT sessions, enhanced by training for your brain and body, and a personalized nutritional, cognitive & physical training programme.

Post Assessment

We repeat the tests from the initial assessment to measure results objectively and make recommendations for your ongoing progress.

Follow Up

We continue to keep track of your health and progress after the treatment through our remote monitoring platform, as well as at in-person checkups.

Program Benefits

Brain Blood Flow and Connectivity

Hyperbaric treatment improves cerebral blood flow, supports the growth of new neurons, and enhances the brain’s ability to communicate efficiently across key networks involved in cognitive performance.

Cognitive Performance and Mood

Clients often experience clearer thinking, quicker information processing, stronger executive functions and improved memory, alongside a more stable mood, better attention control and more restorative sleep.

Strength, Energy and
Mobility

The programme helps increase physical stamina, improve coordination and support stronger movement patterns, enabling clients to perform daily activities with greater energy, stability and confidence.

Recovery, Pain and Physical Health

Reduced inflammation, improved skin quality and enhanced recovery are commonly reported. The programme may also support hormonal balance and sexual performance by improving circulation and promoting tissue repair.

Immune and Regenerative Support

Hyperbaric therapy strengthens immune responses and encourages stem cell activity, helping the body repair more effectively and maintain healthier tissue function over the course of the programme.

Cellular Ageing & Mitochondrial Health

The treatment supports healthier ageing by helping maintain telomere length, reducing senescent cells and enhancing mitochondrial efficiency, all of which contribute to better long-term cellular performance.

The Brain & Performance Programme for Lyme Disease

At The Brain & Performance Centre - A DP World Company, we treat Lyme Disease using a specific research based HBOT protocol. The Brain & Performance Protocol is based on over a decade of research at Shamir Medical Center with proven clinical results. Our program includes:

In-depth medical assessment

A comprehensive three-day medical, physiological, and mental assessment including the most advanced brain imaging tests tailored to your needs, such as SPECT imaging. The tests are conducted by Brain & Performance Centre certified medical staff including physicians, neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, physiologists and nurses.

A unique treatment including HBOT protocol

You’ll have HBOT sessions five days a week for 12 weeks – 60 consecutive two-hour sessions in total.

Alongside your HBOT sessions, our medical team will coach you through a personalized brain training and physical training regime, designed to maximize the effects of the oxygen treatments and treat your Lyme symptoms. You’ll be under the dedicated care of our professional healthcare team at all times.

Post-treatment assessment

At the end of your treatment, we repeat the tests from the initial assessment to measure results and make recommendations for your ongoing progress. We’ll give you a comprehensive medical report summarizing all of the changes that occurred throughout your treatment, supervised and signed by your professional healthcare team led by our Chief Medical Doctor.

Research into Lyme Disease and HBOT

Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics, but approximately 20% of patients experience ongoing symptoms – a condition known as chronic Lyme disease (CLD). This research paper presents a patient with CLD who was successfully treated with HBOT.
