GROW BACK radiation-damaged tissue with this ‘nose trick’
Most cancer patients feel BAD ENOUGH while they’re getting treated by the mainstream for their disease.
But some folks with cancer are in it for the “long haul”…
Developing complications from their radiation therapy later on…
Months or even a year after their treatment ended!
That’s because radiation doesn’t just BURN your tumor cells…
Because your healthy cells get caught in the crossfire!
Damaged tissue can’t always fully BOUNCE BACK on its own…
But there’s a natural therapy that could help SPEED UP wound healing… help cancer patients FEEL BETTER…
And maybe even improve their quality of life, too.
Deep breaths
You may think of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as the scuba divers’ secret to treating decompression sickness… a.k.a. “the bends.”
But as it turns out, breathing oxygen in a pressurized (or “hyperbaric”) chamber can do WONDERS for other health conditions, too!
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how it could help you ERADICATE anxiety…
And even REVERSE diabetic complications.
But there’s even MORE that this “air therapy” can do…
Especially when it comes to cancer.
See, oxygen is CRUCIAL to nearly every process… in EVERY cell… in your body.
And with HBOT, the increased pressure allows your body to absorb more oxygen than it would just by breathing “normally.”
This could be key to SOFTENING THE BLOW of harsh cancer treatments…
Like radiation therapy that BURNS you… and can leave your non-cancerous tissue WOUNDED in its wake.
We’ve seen how this supercharged oxygen delivery can help diabetics HEAL their wounds… and even SAVE their limbs.
Cancer patients undergoing radiation too often suffer from radiation-induced complications…
Including devastating tissue damage… and even bone loss.
As if having cancer weren’t bad enough!
But HBOT has shown to help cancer patients with radiation burns GROW NEW CELLS…
And FORM new blood vessels!
That’s even when they’ve been told that the damage is IRREVERSIBLE.
A small study out of the Netherlands published last year found that HBOT helped sarcoma patients not only REPAIR their wounds…
But also REDUCE scarring…
And even send pain PACKING!
There’s more that HBOT can do for a cancer patient…
And that’s help SENSITIZE their tumors to conventional therapies like chemo and radiation.
That could mean FEWER chemo drugs used to POISON tumors that are otherwise RESISTANT to drugs…
And possibly LOWER dosages… and SHORTER treatments.
There’s some evidence that HBOT can BOOST your immune function, too…
Which is CRITICAL when you’re battling any disease…
Particularly cancer!
Now, HBOT may not be recommended for EVERY type of cancer…
But there’s plenty of research supporting its use in cancers of the…
- breast
- head and neck
- colon
- prostate
- blood
- and more.
Talk to your cancer doc about where to find hyperbaric oxygen therapy – likely at your local wound care clinic or hyperbaric center.
Now, if you’re claustrophobic, don’t worry – the “chamber” doesn’t necessarily have to be a tube that you squeeze yourself into.
It could be an entire room!
If your doc SCOFFS at the idea, get a second opinion – ideally from an integrative oncologist who’s open to incorporating complementary treatments in your cancer care.
