About Hyperbaric Oxygen
Hyperbaric Effects: All of the mentioned effects ultimately amount to enhanced healing across different tissue types with the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Tissue Hyperoxygenation - Hyperoxygenation of the plasma causes Oxygen to equalibrate with the O2 tensions in the tissue fluids to provide an oxygen rich environment for tissue metabolism Less Edema: Hyperbaric Treatment reduces edema through its vasoconstrictive actions, but the 10-15x increase in total oxygen content, counteracts any drop in oxygenation from the vasocontrictive effects Collagen Formation: Hyperbaric Therapy increases Fibroblast proliferation (the cells that make collagen). Enhanced Immune Activity: Increased Oxygenation enhances neutrophil activity (engulf bacteria) as well as other leukocytic activity (white blood cells). Antimicrobial: Hyperbaric Oxygen has an inhibitory and lethal effect on some microorganisms. Anaerobic organisms such as clostridia, strep and staph are the most sensitive to hyperoxygenation. Stem Cell Mobilization: HBOT mobilizes stem cells from the bone marrow See our About Hyperbaric Oxygen Section & Hyperbaric FAQ |

IV Therapy Effects100% absorption - IV Therapy is not hindered by issues with the digestive tract. Many factors affect how nutrients are absorbed when taken orally, but IV Therapy guarantees 100% absorption of a given dose and no gastrointestinal side effects as can be seen with oral nutrients. Higher blood levels - Oral consumption of nutrients like Vitamin C and Magnesium often reach gastrointestinal saturation at a particular level, this is "side-stepped" by IV Therapy and our Naturopaths can administer dramatically higher doses of nutrients which translates to higher blood levels. Higher cellular levels - IV Therapy administration of nutrients allows nutrient uptake in cells against less of a concentration gradient as blood levels are increased, which provides an opportunity for deficient cells to take up nutrients in an easier fashion, and allow them to repair or restore function. Pharmacologic effects - Larger doses made available through IV Therapy allow nutrients to have pharmacologic effects, that is, effects above and beyond their normal biochemical roles, for instance, Vitamin C which is regularly involved in immunity also has a direct anti-viral effect when the levels are high enough. Rapid results - Our Naturopathic Doctors have a preference for IV Therapy for our Edmonton patients because the effects are often extremely rapid, sometimes occurring before a given session is complete but most commonly within 24 hours which is simply rarely seen with oral Naturopathic treatments. |

Hyperbaric ResearchHyperbaric Oxygen has a rich history of research for many difficult to treat conditions. At TruMed our Naturopathic doctors love diving into medical research for our Edmonton patients. These are a few of the many conditions for which Hyperbaric research exists. MS: Oriani et al (1990) studied 44 MS patients - 22 in the 100% Hyperbaric oxygen group and 22 in the compressed normal air group for 1 month then multiple "booster" treatments over a 1 year period. In the Hyperbaric group, 14/22 reported benefits vs. 2/22 in the Hyperbaric air group reporting benefit. Stroke: Neubauer and End (1980) used Hyperbaric Oxygen in 122 patients with acute and chronic strokes. Of 79 patients chronic stroke patients who received Hyperbaric treatment 65% reported an improvement in the quality of life (5 months to 9 years after the stroke) Lyme: Texas A&M University - Lyme patients underwent up to 40 1 hour Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments. Improvement or resolution of symptoms was observed 68/75 subjects within 3 weeks of completing treatment and effect was sustained in approximately 70 % of subjects for up to 6 years. Athletic Injury: Yagishita (2019) looked at 32 rugby players with MCL injury. The time to return to play was 31 days in the Hyperbaric group and 42 days in the non-Hyperbaric group. TBI: Harch et al. 2012 looked at 15 war veterans with TBI/Post-Concussion Syndrome and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder treated for 30 days. 12/15 subjects (80%) reported improvement in a majority of their symptoms on their prioritized symptom list after HBOT. Longevity: Hachmo 2020 looked at Telomere Length (TL) and senescence in immune cells. Telomere length of T helper, T cytotoxic, natural killer and B cells increased significantly by over 20% following HBOT. |

Top Hyperbaric Oxygen FAQ
Hyperbaric Oxygen FactsHyperbaric Fact 1: Safety - Generally speaking, no serious complications are associated Hyperbaric Fact 2: Efficacy - The accumulated data supporting Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is staggering. Our website alone has dozens of studies supporting the studied and safe effects with regards to Hyperbaric Medicine and many health conditions. Efficacy in UHMS approved conditions is well founded and tremendous data is available for HBOT in non UHMS conditions. Hyperbaric Fact 3: Synergy - Hyperbaric medicine is strongly synergistic with many Naturopathic and Functional medicine treatments. Tissue oxygen uptake and metabolism is upregulated during and for hours after Hyperbaric treatment and IV Therapy can be used to further enhance your body's chemistry. The pressure gradient is thought to "drive" therapies deeper. |
