A Controversial Yet Promising Approach to Cancer: Is This The Future of Cancer Treatment?

While you're in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at depths above 2.2 to 2.8 atmospheres, what happens is reactive oxygen species act very much like radiation therapy does to tear up cancer cells. Radiation therapy is effectively knocking an electron off an oxygen molecule, and it's causing a dysregulated spin that flies around and tears up the cancer cell.

Well, you're doing the same thing with oxygen, but radiation isn't preferentially targeting a cancer cell. It's doing that to every cell in the immediate vicinity. What we found is that hyperbaric oxygen largely because the rest of the body has protection from the ketone bodies that are being burned in the cells.

You get the same effect as radiation from reactive oxygen species generated in hyperbaric oxygen at those depths and pressures.

Yeah, Seafreed calls for going five days a week. It can be a little bit cost prohibitive. For me, I couldn't afford the time or the treasure to go five times a week, but we were able to figure out three times a week. And so for the entire duration of all the protocols, which we break up, we probably did four protocols in total over six months.

For the entire time, we'd be going three days a week, making sure that... one of those days you've got your substrates on board, your blood glucose low, your dawn on board, and you're in hyperbarics. And that's a very powerful cancer killing moment.

I guess one of the things I'd like to say is the whole team at Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, from the nurses, the physicians, everybody there was incredible. We developed a great bond with the whole team. They all worked tirelessly to try and do whatever they could to help me. BC Cancer has a huge facility right across the street from Jubilee Hospital and that team works collaboratively.

So I had an oncologist from there and an internist and a whole team of surgeons and everyone there was phenomenal. I can't say enough about them. I owe them literally my life and have developed some really great relationships with a lot of them. When it comes to the oncology side,
