HBOT Conversations:
Dr. Hemal Mehta & Fasting (Part 2)
Dr. Hemal Mehta, MD is a Medical Director and an Independent Medical Examiner who focuses on pain management through a Regenerative medicine approach. Dr. Mehta is Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Pain Management. He received his Doctor of Medicine Degree from Ross University School of Medicine and completed his residency at East Carolina. He is the Medical Director of Vibrant Health of North Carolina, Tennessee Integrative Pain Institute, and TN Integrative Healthcare: Musculoskeletal and Regenerative Center; additionally, Dr. Mehta is the attending physician at Nashville Regenerative Orthopedics. Dr. Mehta is the 2013 recipient of the Inaugural Patient Appreciation Award at Nashville Academy of Medicine, and the 2004 Research Resident of the Year for East Carolina University. Dr. Mehta has extensive experience with stem cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. He has incorporated Ozone Injection Therapy, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Regenerative Matrix and Regenerative Medicine Procedures – to name a few – into his integrative wellness & longevity medical practices.

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 – Hyperbaric Oxygen for Carbon Monoxide Induced Chronic Encephalopathy
in some patients, a few days or weeks after they recover from carbon monoxide poisoning they
develop new symptoms. These can affect mood, ability to think or remember clearly, and
movements. Some people develop movement problems that are similar to Parkinson’s disease.
This damage to brain tissue is called "encephalopathy," and this study will look at the
effect of pressurized oxygen therapy on long term, or chronic, encephalopathy.
A new treatment could benefit vets with PTSD and brain injury, lawmakers want insurers to reimburse for it
Through the use of hyperbaric, oxygen-rich chambers, medical researchers have found a way to restore a significant amount of neurological function in brain tissue thought to be chronically damaged by stroke, traumatic injury, and metabolic disorder — even years after
Clinical Trial – Plethysmographic Variability Index in Post Spinal Anesthesia Hypotension in Cesarean Section
– Full term pregnant female patients presented for elective C.S for single viable fetus
will be included in this study.
– Before anesthesia, the patient will be attached to a monitor of: ECG , heart rate, non
invasive blood pressure, pulse taximeter applied on the index finger of the limb not
attached to the blood pressure cuff, pulse oximetry and plethysmographic variability
index (PVI) and perfusion index (PI) will be taken by (Massimo radical 7, Massimo corp.
USA). Measures will be recorded every 5 minutes preoperative.
– Patients with PVI <15 will be excluded from the study.
- Patients with PVI > 15 are started on intravenous infusion of warm ringer lactate
solution via suitable pore intravenous cannula to reach target of PVI <15 or a total 1
liter of ringer lactate.
- The patients in which the PVI is corrected by fluid to level below 15 will be Group (C)
or corrected group. Patients in which intravenous fluid administration did not result
any change in PVI or changed but still higher than 15 will be Group (NC) or non
corrected group.
After preoperative preparation patient is shifted to operating theater, with all monitors
applied. She will receive spinal block at lumbar 3-4 space with hyperbaric bupivacaine 8 mg
plus 25 mic fentanyl. After giving anesthesia and positioning for surgery with a left lateral
tilt of 15 degrees,
