Cancer

Cancers thrive in blood-rich environments but may be suppressed by high oxygen levels. HBOT treatment of individuals who have cancer presents a problem, since HBOT both increases blood flow via angiogenesis and also raises oxygen levels. Taking an anti-angiogenic supplement may provide a solution.

Cancer is a disease in which cells grow and spread to other parts of the body.

Cancer Overview

There has been a major concern for years about providing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to patients presenting with cancer. A study by Feldemier, et al. and recent NIH funded study on Stem Cells by Thom, et al., indicate that HBOT is actually beneficial in producing stem/progenitor cells and the malignant process is not accelerated.

Non-Covered or Off-Label Treatment

Insurance does not yet cover HBOT for cancer. We are able to accept the following forms of payment: personal checks, cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
