Since 1993, America's fastest growing free-standing hospital quality dispensaries of HBOT at a fraction of hospital cost!!!

CALL US!
Toll-free 888.749.5122

Note to patients: The chambers we use are the most technically advanced  in the World and surround the  patient with 100% medical oxygen within 90-seconds of door seal without masks or hoods. No other hospital-grade ASME-PVHO-1 chamber, with FDA 510-K "clearance" can match this  performance or efficiency. You can rely on our expert technicians to control your environment and  you can relax in comfort with concert quality sound and entertainment.

Most sessions in the chamber are more than 90 minutes and may be up to 120 minutes.  Plenty of time to relax, watch a movie, listen to music and relax while your body gently diffuses in up to 25 times more healing oxygen into all tissue and clear fluids.Hospital standard care at a fraction of the cost. All treatment sessions in the chamber are at your prescribing physician's direction,  treatment pressure and timing of treatment ("Tx.") Your MD Knows best.

Note to referring Primary Care Physicians: Our Centers act as a dispensary for your prescription of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our Center's Medical Director's role  is to assist you or your patient to  overcome problems that may be vexing and temporary but helped by HBOT.  Our Center's goal is to keep your patient in your care as their Primary Physician.

Call toll-free 888.749.5122  to arrange for a no-obligation tour at the nearest HCI center to you . . . we are unable to accept "walk-ins".  Meet our qualified staff, or make an appointment with our medical director.  

 Special discounts apply through  ALL of  2011  - YOUR FIRST TREATMENT IS FREE  - All HBOT Tx., including your complimentary first  Tx. must have a physician's Rx

Our Center relies on the responsive judgment of our attending specialists physicians for the most optimal  results for all patients (pediatric, adult, geriatric) for decisions relating to treatment pressures and times. We do not use a "cookie cutter" approach, since every patient is different.  Nor do we copy other practitioner's protocols (e.g., "Harch" protocols) since the needs of the patient may differ or alter during a course of HBOT Tx.

Our  Healing Chamber Centers will treat patients with active malignancies. However, such patients must remain under the care of the specialist oncologists. While we endorse intermittent applications of HBOT as a valuable adjunctive therapy, HBOT CANNOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STANDARD ONCOLOGY RESPONSE TO CANCER.

Click  Miracle of 2007 Carson C. San Diego Gateway Medical Center for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

 

UPDATE   Carson is now  healthy, living  a normal life. Carson at the chamber with special loading board which was his size when he had only "five days to live."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Invasive fungus is common with little leukemia patient and compromised immune system adults. In 1987, Children’s Hospital primary oncologist for Carson wrote “he has had a miraculous recovery with hyperbaric oxygen contributing to this response. This infection is usually fatal, yet Carson has survived and at present remains on chemotherapy.”

 

Carson's health insurance PacifiCare has agreed that Carson should continue with HBOT treatments throughout 2007 to ensure that the virulent fungus mucor does not return. He continued with his chemotherapy at Rady's Childrens' Hospital, San Diego and had  regular HBOT sessions at our San Diego Center.  Tolearn about the touch'n'go saving of Carson, the cooperation of Children's hospital specialist physicians and surgeons, and the clinical details of his HBOT treatments. For the clinical details of how he was treated and why HBOT kills fungus  Click

September 2007.  During  grand-rounds review at S.D. Children's Hospital, Carson's progress was reviewed. It was noted that he was the only little patient that has none of the usual sequels to his maintenance chemotherapy. Unlike the other little patients, Carson's hair is growing thick and strong, he has no aches or pains and is full of bouncing vitality. In essence, a "normal" little boy. The question was raised "What is Carson doing that these other children are not doing?" The answer was "three  HBOT sessions each week!"

While Carson's HBOT Rx is to prevent the return of the fungus, the fact that his progress is greater than other little patients begs an answer to the question  "should HBOT  be a standard an adjunctive therapy for leukemia and lymphoma patients?" The answer could well lie in the fact that stem cells from bone marrow transplants are a common survival approach but hard to find -- "As many as 16,000 leukemia patients require a bone marrow transplant but have no matched relative or can't find a match in the national bone marrow registry -- Mary J Laughlin, M.D. Comprehensive Cancer Center and University Hospital of Cleveland Ireland Cancer Center.  November 30 -2004

CARSON IS PRODUCING HIS OWN  HEALTHY STEM CELLS because of his HBOT treatments ! ! !

When to ask your oncologist about hyperbaric  oxygen therapy . . . ? ? ?  IMMEDIATELY

Our Centers will be happy to email you a packet of 21st Century medical science. Also to arrange a Doctor to Doctor telephone consult.

Some of our patients start too late.

 We present the following clip about Ellie Potvin for your consideration, along with the words of her mother Amy. This moving tribute is included on this site to prevent Ellie from becoming another  statistic. Numbers do not cause the heartache  that little faces do.  Please be aware that these images are copyright to www.Liftupfoundation.org

 

 

 

 

" Ellie fought for 2 years and was given hard core amounts of chemo and radiation using a 30 year old protocol to start the fight. I was disgusted!  Ellie had stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed at 6 years of age in July 2008.  t was only after the Oncologists sent her home to die, April of 2010, that God Blessed my family with HBOT treatment.  I firmly believe that Ellie would be alive today should we have started with this immune boosting treatment.   Though I am sad to say that we started this cancer healing therapy too late. But, I was blessed to have been given more days with Ellie through HBOT.  Ellie fought till June 23, 2010. 


 

Ellie has a twin sister, Grace. I can tell you with great HOPE... that should Grace be diagnosed tomorrow... I would start with HBOT treatment.  It would be through great difficulty to poison my child again.  The chemotherapy caused her such great suffering above and beyond the cancer.  Please look into alternative treatments.  I have started the Lift Up Foundation and pray that in years to come it will support and educate families like yours on HBOT and other alternative treatments.


 

Blessings,

Penn Study Finds Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments Mobilize Stem Cells

Science Daily According to a study to be published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulation Physiology, a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body. Stem cells, also called progenitor cells are crucial to injury repair. The study currently appears on-line and is scheduled for publication in the April 2006 edition of the American Journal.

Stem cells exist in the bone marrow of human beings and animals and are capable of changing their nature to become part of many different organs and tissues. In response to injury, these cells move from the bone marrow to the injured sites, where they differentiate into cells that assist in the healing process. The movement, or mobilization, of stem cells can be triggered by a variety of stimuli -- including pharmaceutical agents and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Where as drugs are associated with a host of side effects, hyperbaric oxygen treatments carry a significantly lower risk of such effects.

"This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options," said Stephen Thom, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "This study provides information on the fundamental mechanisms for hyperbaric oxygen and offers a new theoretical therapeutic option for mobilizing stem cells."

"We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect," added Thom. "We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release."
