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 – Estimation of the ED95 of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% With Sufentanyl for Scheduled Cesarean Delivery
Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% associated with opioids is the local anesthetic the most commonly
used for spinal injection in cesarean section. Nevertheless, its use often results in a long
duration of motor nerve block and a haemodynamical instability. Recently developped, the
Prilocaine, with its new 2% hyperbaric formulation, seems to offer a good alternative for
hyperbaric bupivicaine. A first study has determined the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% for
intrathecal anesthesia in scheduled cesarean delivery. As opioid adjuvants potentiate the
effect of the local anesthetics while decreasing their dose-related side effects, the aim of
this study is to determine the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% with sufentanyl for scheduled
cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia,by using the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM)
Clinical Trial – Effect of Intrathecal Morphine, Dexmedetomidine or Both in Combination to Bupivacaine on Immunity
this work aims to investigate the effect of intrathecal administration of Morphine,
Dexmedetomidine or both in combination on cellular immunity and cytokine production in
patients undergoing major abdominal cancer surgeries.
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury and hyperbaric oxygen pathways: a review of cellular mechanisms.
Abstract: Ischaemia-induced tissue injury has wide-ranging clinical implications including myocardial infarction, stroke, compartment syndrome, ischaemic renal failure and replantation and revascularization. However, the restoration of blood flow produces a 'second...
