Cancer Treatment Synergy

If you're receiving treatment for cancer, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can work in synergy with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. HBOT may also mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy (such as 'chemo brain') and radiation, and decrease the recovery time after surgical procedures. In addition, HBOT is FDA-approved to treat latent radiation injury.

Furthermore, the metabolic approach to cancer treatment incorporates specific dietary modifications, such as the ketogenic diet, and employs various personalized lifestyle therapies in combination with HBOT.

Some physicians and patients are concerned that HBOT may actually accelerate the growth of cancer. Several recent studies have shown this not to be the case.

The use of HBOT to treat cancer side effects aims to reduce the damage to healthy tissue and blood vessels caused by radiation exposure, helping the body become stronger and fight off the disease.
