Episode notes
Turning Point In Trauma Training
- Scott Sherr discovered HBOT during trauma training after seeing patients avoid amputations and recover from ventilator-level carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Those cases convinced him pressure plus oxygen could create immediate and long-term physiologic shifts.
How HBOT Delivers Oxygen Systemically
- Hyperbaric therapy combines increased inspired oxygen with increased atmospheric pressure to drive oxygen into plasma.
- Plasma oxygen diffusion increases cellular energy and triggers hormetic oxidative stress that can drive epigenetic change.
Immediate Effects And Long-Term Epigenetics
- HBOT causes stem cell release, vasoconstriction to reduce swelling, and promotes immune cell function in injured tissue.
- Over repeated sessions it modulates gene expression: inflammation down, growth and repair genes up.
