Cancer Treatment Synergy

It is well established how  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be used to treat side effects of cancer treatments like radiation therapy - HBOT is FDA-approved to treat latent radiation injury - helping the body heal and resolve those side effects, leading to a better quality of life. Though the potential benefits of HBOT can be seen if you've receiving treatment for cancer, working in synergy with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. HBOT may also mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy (such as 'chemo brain') and radiation, and decrease the recovery time after surgical procedures. 

Another way hyperbaric oxygen therapy can play a role in supporting a patient with cancer is through a metabolic approach to cancer. This approach incorporates specific dietary modifications, such as the ketogenic diet, and employs various personalized lifestyle therapies in combination with HBOT to support the body in its ability to fight the disease. We have developed a Metabolic Cancer Support Program that is designed to bundle a suite of therapies that are unique tailored to each patient. Click here to learn more. 

Some physicians and prospective patients express concern that HBOT may actually accelerate the growth of cancer. Several recent studies have shown this not to be the case. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation through our consultation process to verify the appropriateness of any service, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, that we may recommend and/or provide.
