hyperbaric oxygen therapy EdmontonUse of a Hyperbaric Chamber has substantial research behind it for a range of conditions other than Cancer.TruMed started offering Edmonton Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy starting in the Fall/Winter of 2020. Hyperbaric Oxygen has been studied in autoimmune, neurological and cardiovascular conditions and athletics.

Hyperbaric oxygen & sports |

Reduction of edema and inflammation, new blood vessel and bone formation as well as stimulation of collagen production and stem cell release are well known Hyperbaric effects that are applicable to sports injury.Fatigue: Ishii et al (2005) reported the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for muscular fatigue in seven Olympic athletes during the Nagano Olympics and all seven athletes benefited from Hyperbaric therapy with faster recovery rates. Injury: Ishii et al (1999) looked at 22 athletes with various injuries using Hyperbaric treatment between 1.3 and 2.0 ATA and more than 70% of the patients experienced improvement. Joint injury: Staples (1996) found that ankle sprain patients treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen improved 30% faster. CTE: Stoller (2011) published a case reports on sports related TBI/CTE where a retired NFL player in his 50's with numerous prior concussions in his career was treated for 40 treatments and marked improvements were seen in processing speed, cognitive function, memory and reasoning. |

Hyperbaric Oxygen has significant effect on the cardiovascular system and as such has been studied in the treatment of numerous diseases of cardiovascular origin.Arterial Ulcers: Hart and Strauss (1979) used Hyperbaric Oxygen at 2.0 ATA to treat 16 patients with treatment resistant arteriosclerosis related ulcers and in 75 % of cases, the ulcers healed completely. Veinous Ulcers: Bass (1970) used Hyperbaric Oxygen in 19 patients with resistant venous stasis ulcers and complete relief was obtained in 17 of 19 cases at 2.0 ATA. Angina: Goliakov et al. (1986) Looked at 40 patients with angina pectoris and Hyperbaric treatment was shown to produce a favorable effect in 84 % of the patients. PVD: Visona et al. (1989) treated patients with various stages of peripheral vascular disease and 70% had improved clinical symptoms with long-term improvement in more than 50 % of the patients.

Hyperbaric OXygen & cancer |

Substantial data exists that Hyperbaric Oxygen can potentially enhance other Alternative Cancer treatments such as IV Vitamin C in addition to being a well established treatment for radiation induced tissue necrosis.Tumor angiogenesis creates immature and leaky blood vessels which are unable to adequately perfuse the entire tumor with oxygen. This leads to the formation of hypoxic (low oxygen) regions and upregulates HIF-1. One of the major challenges in the treatment of cancer is the occurrence of local hypoxia within the central tumour areas. The application of HBOT may help overcome the problem of oxygen deficiency in the poorly oxygenated areas of neoplastic tissue. The ketogenic diet, ketone supplementation, and HBOT target overlapping metabolic pathways which are especially prominent in metastatic cells. Poff and D’Agostino (2013) studied the VM-M3 mouse model of metastatic cancer and found the ketogenic diet alone significantly decreased tumor growth, and increased mean survival time by 56.7% in mice with systemic metastatic cancer. Whereas combining the Ketogenic diet with Hyperbaric Oxygen had a 77.9% increase in mean survival time. Hyperbaric Oxygen alone did not influence cancer progression, which mirrors what has been suggested in numerous reviews that Hyperbaric Oxygen itself is neutral to cancer and simply enhances other therapies. |

CANCER, IV vitamin c & hbot |

Dr. Dominic D’Agostino and his group conducted experiments with regards to IV Vitamin C and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy again using mouse VM-M3 Cells WHICH were treated with a less than cytotoxic concentration of Vitamin C(<0.5mM) and one session of HBOT (100% O2 for 60 minutes at 2.5 ATA) and found HBOT and 0.3mM Vitamin C had significantly enhanced cytotoxicity compared to all other treatments. In the article "Increasing the Effectiveness of Intravenous Vitamin C as an Anticancer Agent" one group has published "We propose the utilization of hyperbaric oxygen immediately after IV vitamin C therapy to increase its effectiveness as an anticancer agent, in order to increase the formation of hydrogen peroxide, and therefore enhance the anticancer effect of IV vitamin C." |
