Can Oxygen Therapy Bring Dead Brain Cells Back To Life?
During my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit in October, I’m hosting some of the world’s leading authorities on oxygen therapy. The Summit coincides with the grand opening of my 17,000-sq.-ft. Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, where I’m unveiling a specially-designed room that houses my first hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I hope you’ll be there, as you’ll discover the newest applications and breakthroughs in this growing field. You see, when oxygen is pressurized — like it is when you’re inside the chamber — you can treat more than just chronic disease. Truth is, hyperbaric oxygen can...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for osteoradionecrosis.
Authors: Cooper PD, Smart DR Abstract Dr Sames and colleagues are to be commended on their thought-provoking article about regional variation in hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) provision for oro-facial osteoradionecrosis (ORN) across Australia and New Zealand. The four-fold difference between jurisdictions requires further elucidation. As co-directors of the only comprehensive hyperbaric facility in Tasmania, the state with the highest ORN treatment rate, we believe a number of issues pertaining to the Australian situation warrant further consideration. 1. Disease prevalence Comparisons between regions require c...

Transplants give Garden Plain man a second chance at life
Chris Simon’s bucket list wasn’t anything fancy. He simply wanted to be able to ride a bike again. Or take a swim. Or go camping with friends. “Stuff I used to do all the time,” Simon said. “And all of a sudden it was taken away.” Those once simple joys were stolen by cystic fibrosis, the same disease that claimed his younger sister Emily’s life in 2009. The Simon family on Sunday will join millions of others around the world in celebrating Easter, a day symbolizing new beginnings. The holiday will have special significance for Chris, 26, who has another chapter dawning in his life after a double-lung/liver t...

Mortality and morbidity in acutely ill adults treated with liberal versus conservative oxygen therapy (IOTA): a systematic review and meta-analysis
This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42017065697. Findings 25 randomised controlled trials enrolled 16 037 patients with sepsis, critical illness, stroke, trauma, myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrest, and patients who had emergency surgery. Compared with a conservative oxygen strategy, a liberal oxygen strategy (median baseline saturation of peripheral oxygen [SpO2] across trials, 96% [range 94–99%, IQR 96–98]) increased mortality in-hospital (relative risk [RR] 1·21, 95% CI 1·03–1·43, I 2=0%, high quality), at 30 days (RR 1·14, 95% CI 1·01–1·29, I 2=0%, high quality), and at longest follow...

The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Protocol in Acute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Seen within 24 Hours at a Tertiary Institution
We read with interest the research article entitled “Acute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Seen within 24 h at a Tertiary Institution”,1 it was an original study focusing on the timing of emergency hospital attendance after acute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) onset from sudden vision loss. The authors were particularly concerned on th e CRAO protocol of intravenous thrombolysis and diagnostic pathway. However, as the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) practitioners running the HORA study,2–5 we are more interested in the HBOT protocol adopted in the authors’ tertiary institution, which was not mentioned in the article.
