Sharonika finds resilience through Graeme Dingle Foundation

Graeme Dingle Foundation

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and … View moreTeen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.

mHBOT is a specialised therapy that uses an increase in atmospheric pressure,
combined with an increase in oxygen concentration.

How does m HBOT work?

Oxygen provides energy and stimulates the body to repair itself. Lack of oxygen causes tissues to die or cell functions to reduce.

Normally we breathe only small amounts of oxygen for our red blood cells to transport throughout the body.

In mild HBOT we use concentrated oxygen and atmospheric pressure to dissolve the oxygen to be delivered by all body fluids; plasma, lymph, bone, CSF. This washes the body with healing oxygen resulting in more white blood cells to kill bacteria, new blood vessels, less swelling and more nutrients.

How may mHBOT help me?

• Relief from stomach & bowel issues

• Reduces Inflammation eg: arthritis, bursitis etc.

• Depression or brain issues eg: autism

• Stroke / Brain injury / concussion recovery

• Memory & Concentration.

• Rapid healing for bone, ligament & muscle

• Assist fighting cancer

• Anti-aging

• Athletic enhancement

• Improves heart disease &diabetes

• Wound healing – ulcers, skin grafts

• Rebalances Immune System

• Potent killing anaerobic bacteria, viruses & fungi

• Reduce swelling & oedema

• Detoxifies toxic bio-waste

• Plus much more
