Hypoxic tumors (tumors with low oxygen levels) are noted as one of the main reasons for failure to control malignant tumors with radiation therapy. Since hyperbaric oxygen improves oxygen supply to hypoxic tumors, thus increasing their levels, hyperbaric oxygen has sound clinical grounds for being used alongside radiation therapy. This study published in the International Journal of Clinical Oncology goes over the rationale for using this combination in more detail <view study> Read Less

Researchers found a significant anti-cancer effect when mice with systemic metastatic cancers were exposed to the combination of a ketogenic diet alongside hyperbaric oxygenation therapy. Recently hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been receiving a lot of attention for it’s beneficial effects when combined with chemo and radiation therapy. Now, it’s being looked at how natural therapies can also be enhanced <view study> Read Less

This study looked at blood vessel growth and angiogenesis by exposing human blood vessel cells to red and infrared light. The results showed benefiicial growth and an influence of two key growth factors -- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β <view study> Read Less

There have been plenty of studies documenting the ability of light therapy to effectively enhance bone formation. This study confirmed many of these previous studies when they took a group of rabbits and exposed them to light therapy following implants, every other day for a 2-week duration <view study> Read Less
