di Girolamo & Dr. Mehta examine the use of Vitamin C IV therapy for cancer, and how the combination of Vitamin C IV therapy, fasting and oxygen therapy – especially in the form of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – has been known to put patients in remission and completely eliminate some very serious cancers. Dr. Mehta describes Hyperbaric Oxygen as a “game changer” when adding it into a cancer treatment protocol. He explains that as doctors they are trained to look at chemotherapy first to treat cancer, but there are many holistic ways to help a cancer patient shrink the tumors, stop the spread and live a longer life. He agrees that HBOT would be a great option to help cancer patients on their healing journey.
Diet is another holistic way to treat cancer. A water fast that puts the body in a ketogenic state, or a ketogenic organic diet are all ranked high as ideal ways to use alternative, natural methods for cancer and pain relief.
Dr. Mehta tells a personal story of his past that involved his father’s diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer, and how it was the holistic and natural methods Dr. Mehta recommended that gave him extended life. Vitamin C Therapy, consuming organic wheatgrass daily, and daily deep breathing techniques to increase oxygen levels all contributed to him living 3 years longer than his prognosis. After massive shrinkage of the tumors during those 3 years; his father was convinced by an Ocologist to undergo chemotherapy in hopes that it would completely eradicate the cancer from his body. The chemotherapy caused cardio toxicity and unfortunately ultimately lead to Dr. Mehta’s father passing away.
di Girolamo suggests that viewers watch Research Rundown Episode 16: The Ketogenic Diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Prolong Survival in Mice with Systemic Metastatic Cancer. This is a popular Research Rundown where our host, Ed di Girolamo, analyzes a study led by researcher, Dominic D’Agostino. The benefit of combining ketogenic diet with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for metastatic cancer treatment is some very exciting research in the world of HBOT, cancer research, and fasting! This particular research and Dominic’s involvement to help prove that cancer can be eliminated (and maybe even cured) by combining a heavy ketogenic diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is further discussed in this HBOT News Conversations episode with Dr. Mehta.
*Pease consult your doctor to see if fasting is right for you.

Clinical Trial – Effect of Intravenous Dexmedetomidine on Patient Discomfort in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Under Spinal Anesthesia.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been routinely performed under general anesthesia
despite the several disadvantages of general anesthesia compared to regional anesthesia.
There are multiple reports that have been published regarding the feasibility of spinal
anesthesia for LC associated with many problems such as referred shoulder pain secondary to
intra-abdominal pneumoperitoneum; patient anxiety, pain, and discomfort; and inadequate
sedation.The aim of our study is to prospectively observe the feasibility of using
intravenous dexmedetomidine to abolish patient discomfort and shoulder pain, thus making the
patient more comfortable without causing excessive sedation and respiratory depression.
Clinical Trial – The Efficacy of Pain Control After Total Hip Replacement Between Ultrasound Guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block and Intrathecal Morphine
Total hip replacement is one of major orthopedic surgery which result in severe postoperative
pain especially at first 24 hours. Ultrasound guided regional anesthesia has become a part of
multimodal analgesia.Ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block is a new technique
which can consistently cover femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. And with large
volume (40ml), it may cover obturator nerve. This technique already proved to be useful for
acute pain control in hip fracture or postoperative control in dynamic hip screw or nail
insertion operation. However, it has not been compared with intrathecal morphine for total
hip replacement yet.
