Our  Healing Chamber Centers will treat patients with active malignancies. However, such patients must remain under the care of the specialist oncologists. While we endorse intermittent applications of HBOT as a valuable adjunctive therapy, HBOT CANNOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STANDARD ONCOLOGY RESPONSE TO CANCER.

ClickMiracle of 2007 Carson C. CALIFORNIA   San Diego Gateway Medical Center for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Invasive fungus is common with little leukemia patient and compromised immune system adults.

The Children’s Hospital primary oncologist for Carson wrote “he has had a miraculous recovery with hyperbaric oxygen contributing to this response. This infection is usually fatal, yet Carson has survived and at present remains on chemotherapy.”

Carson's health insurance PacifiCare has agreed that Carson should continue with HBOT treatments throughout 2007 to ensure that the virulent fungus mucor does not return. He continues with his chemotherapy at Childrens' Hospital, San Diego and regular HBOT sessions at our San Diego Center.

To learn about the touch'n'go saving of Carson, the cooperation of Children's hospital specialist physicians and surgeons, and the clinical details of his HBOT treatments. For the clinical details of how he was treated and why HBOT kills fungus, click here

PS  September 2007.  During a recent grand-rounds review at S.D. Children's Hospital, Carson's progress was reviewed. It was noted that he was the only little patient that has none of the usual sequels to his maintenance chemotherapy. Unlike the other little patients, Carson's hair is growing thick and strong, he has no aches or pains and is full of bouncing vitality. In essence, a "normal" little boy. The question was raised "What is Carson doing that these other children are not doing?" The answer was "three  HBOT sessions each week!"

While Carson's HBOT Rx is to prevent the return of the fungus, the fact that his progress is greater than other little patients begs an answer to the question  "should HBOT  be a standard an adjunctive therapy for leukemia and lymphoma patients?" The answer could well lie in the fact that stem cells from bone marrow transplants are a common survival approach but hard to find -- "As many as 16,000 leukemia patients require a bone marrow transplant but have no matched relative or can't find a match in the national bone marrow registry -- Mary J Laughlin, M.D. Comprehensive Cancer Center and University Hospital of Cleveland Ireland Cancer Center.  November 30 -2004

CARSON IS PRODUCING HIS OWN  HEALTHY STEM CELLS because of his HBOT treatments ! ! !

 

 

 

 

 

STOP PRESS:  Is HBOT a useful adjunctive therapy to support chemo' and radiation cancer patients? The oncologists seem to think so.

November 2008 -- CBS Jeff Zeverly reports on new specialist physician's  acceptance of hyperbaric oxygen therapy  at our San Diego Center. 

 

 

 

 

Penn Study Finds Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments Mobilize Stem Cells

Science Daily According to a study to be published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulation Physiology, a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body. Stem cells, also called progenitor cells are crucial to injury repair. The study currently appears on-line and is scheduled for publication in the April 2006 edition of the American Journal.

Stem cells exist in the bone marrow of human beings and animals and are capable of changing their nature to become part of many different organs and tissues. In response to injury, these cells move from the bone marrow to the injured sites, where they differentiate into cells that assist in the healing process. The movement, or mobilization, of stem cells can be triggered by a variety of stimuli -- including pharmaceutical agents and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Where as drugs are associated with a host of side effects, hyperbaric oxygen treatments carry a significantly lower risk of such effects.

"This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options," said Stephen Thom, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "This study provides information on the fundamental mechanisms for hyperbaric oxygen and offers a new theoretical therapeutic option for mobilizing stem cells."

"We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect," added Thom. "We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release."
