About Hyperbaric Oxygen

Normally 97% of the oxygen is the blood is combined with hemoglobin and only 3% is dissolved in the plasma. 

 

With pressures provided by hospital grade Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers, like the ones we have at TruMed, we can increase the oxygen in the plasma up to 20x their normal levels. 

 

The dissolved Oxygen in the plasma equilibrates with and dramatically increases the Oxygen content in tissues to enhance tissue metabolism and therefore tissue healing. 


HBOT is effective in increasing oxygen to areas and wounds that have poor blood supply or that are injured and/or swollen. The body is able to speed up the healing process at sites of injury including bone, muscle, soft tissues, brain, spinal cord and more.


It's all about healing.


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

About IV Therapy 

IV Therapy gives you 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids - you can achieve levels of nutrients that are simply impossible with oral supplementation. 


TruMed focuses on providing Edmonton with a wide range of IV Therapy. Our Naturopathic doctors have administered thousands of IV Therapy treatments for a range of health conditions. IV Therapy can often be a plateau breaking therapy for numerous health concerns such as fatigue, depression and immunity.


Our Naturopathic doctors will provide you with a custom IV Therapy formula to meet your specific needs. IV Therapy often provides  rapid and robust responses for many health concerns that are not seen nearly as often with oral Naturopathic treatment.  

IV Therapy Effects


100% 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 Research

Hyperbaric 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.

IV Therapy


Edmonton's Favorite IV Therapies: 

IV Myers Cocktail

Our Naturopaths have literally given thousands of Myers Cocktail IV Therapy treatments to our Edmonton patients. Amazing for energy and mood. 


The Myers IV Therapy synergizes with Hyperbaric treatment as they both drive oxidative phosphylation i.e. energy production. 

IV Vitamin C 

IV Vitamin C Therapy is versatile - our Naturopaths use it for cosmetics, immunity, infections, longevity and cancer. Simple yet awesome. 


Hyperbaric Oxygen is thought to enhance the oxidative nature of IV Vitamin C - the more oxygen you provide the more Hydrogen Peroxide your body can produce. 

IV Glutathione

IV Glutathione therapy is mainlining pure anti-oxidant magic. Our Naturopathic doctors use it for cosmetics, longevity, detoxification, and neurological disorders. 


Glutathione has neuroprotective features (anti-apoptotic, down regulate NF-κB) so additive effects are expected with HBOT and IV Glutathione with regards to neurological repair. 

IV NAD

NAD IV Therapy is powerful way to rev up mitochondrial function. Our Naturopaths use NAD as a way to melt away fatigue, activate longevity pathways and for drug withdrawal. 


IV NAD and Hyperbaric Oxygen drive oxidative phosphorylation, like the Myers, and maximize cellular processes. NAD and HBOT are both thought to enhance Sirt1 - longevity promoting enzyme.

IV Hydration 

Our office gives Edmonton rapid access to IV Hydration Therapy such as saline but we also offer amazing custom IV rehydration formulas and banana bags. 


Combining IV Hydration and Hyperbaric therapy is the best of the basics of life - Oxygen and Water! How perfect is that?? :P


TruMed: Edmonton's Advanced Natural Medicine. 


Our Naturopaths provide Edmonton with a range of IV Therapy


IV Therapy can be done before or after Hyperbaric Treatment.

Top Hyperbaric Oxygen FAQ

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen?


Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the medical use of 100% oxygen at precisely increased atmospheric pressure. Most treatments are between two and three atmospheres of
pressure, typically referred to as “diving”, as the pressure change closely proximates scuba diving.


How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?


 This increased pressure provides more oxygen to the body than is possible under normal atmospheric conditions.  The increase of pressure dissolves more oxygen into body tissue and blood so that the body is saturated with more oxygen than normal to enhance healing.


How often are treatments given?


The length and frequency of treatments will be individualized for you and your condition and will be
scheduled with your other treatments. For most conditions, patients are treated once a day - Monday through Friday - In most cases of wound healing support, the effects are gradual and 20 - 40 treatments may be required.


What will I feel during the Hyperbaric Oxygen Treament?


As the chamber pressurizes with Oxygen, you will definitely feel a fullness in your ears (similar to when you going up and down a mountain) as your eardrums adjust. You will have to "crack" your ears to balance the pressure. The chamber temperature tends to increase as pressurization occurs and cools as depressurization occurs.


For your safety during long, high pressure procedues, you may also have to wear a mask for medical grade air for what are called “air breaks.”


How soon can someone start to feel better from HBOT?


As a rule of thumb, around 20 Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions are needed before new blood vessels start to grow 'angiogenesis" and for appreciable healing to begin especially in chronic conditions. With that said, everyone and their conditions are individual and initial improvements can certainly happen much sooner especially when Hyperbaric treatment is combined with IV Therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Facts 


Hyperbaric Fact 1: Safety - Generally speaking, no serious complications are associated
with moderate pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. At TruMed our Naturopaths take Hyperbaric Safety seriously, contraindications for therapy are assessed and precautions are taken during treatment of those with risk factors for complications


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.

Edmonton IV Therapy FAQ

What's inside the IVs? 


Our Naturopathic doctors use custom IV Therapy blends using professionally compounded Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, and Anti-oxidants. 


Our standard "Myers Cocktail" has B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Magnesium and Vitamin C. 



How does IV therapy work? 


IV Therapy places nutrients directly into the blood stream which provides massively elevated blood concentrations and cells are "flooded" with nutrients. This allows for restoration of proper metabolic function as well as specific pharmacologic functionality of nutrients when their levels reach certain quantities that are typically not possible with oral supplementation. 



What does IV therapy cost in Edmonton? 


Here are some general prices, but feel free to call the clinic if you're looking for more specifics:


IV NAD Therapy $165


Myers Cocktail IV $145  


IV Glutathione Treatment $125


IV Vitamin C Therapy $150



Do I need a consultation before trying an IV? 


 At TruMed we take safety seriously: all new IV patients require a consult before starting IV Therapy. However, the initial IV Therapy consultation with one of our Naturopaths Doctor is complimentary.



How often do you get an IV?


How often you need an IV depends on what health concerns we're trying to address. For instance, for Fatigue, our Naturopaths typically administer one IV therapy per week for 3-4 weeks back to back, to achieve sustained levels. Booster treatments are recommended every 4-8 weeks to maintain effect. 



How quickly does IV Therapy work?


IV therapy treatments can work really quickly. For mood and cognitive enhancement, many see positive effects within 24 hours and effects are similar for fatigue. Occasionally effects are felt faster or in some patients its takes a few IV Therapy treatments to "get going,"
