HBOT News Network welcomes back Dr. Hemal V. Mehta, M.D.; Medical Director of Vibrant Health of North Carolina. Dr. Mehta has joined HBOT News Network three times previously, where we focused heavily on the topics of fasting & regenerative medicine – see Dr. Mehta & Fasting, Dr. Mehta & Fasting (Part 2), and Dr. Mehta & Regenerative Medicine.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Mehta return to discuss Vibrant Health University. Vibrant Health University is a new start-up educational program through Vibrant Health. It is a way to help educate, not just the public, but also providers who are interested in performing regenerative therapies, regenerative injections, and providing an alternative to patients that’s not typically available.
Vibrant Health University wants to steer the medical field and general public away from the traditional heavy focus of pharmacology and surgical techniques; and educate people more on the integrative approaches available for regenerative therapies and regenerative treatments. What people can expect from Vibrant Health University (once it gets up and going), is a variety of online programs and podcasts they can watch. Then, if interested further, physicians can choose the option for an in-person educational program where Dr. Mehta or his team can visit the physician’s office (or the physician can visit them) and the physician can then witness live demonstrations, and learn how to do proper procedures for regenerative treatments, while incorporating their protocols into their treatment plans.
The courses at Vibrant Health University will be a structured program with a certification process. Dr. Mehta explains that they are planning to provide different tiers. For example, a lower tier, a medium tier, and a higher tier of education to providers based on their level of expertise, and based on how much knowledge they already have and how much they want to obtain. The ultimate goal of the program is to have the courses accredited by the appropriate certifying boards to count as continuing medical education for physicians.
Dr. Mehta & di Giralomo spend time discussing the importance of physician education, the continued benefits of fasting, and how to gain control of excessive inflammation.
Dr. Mehta remind us of Vibrant Health’s focus — to integrate traditional and non-traditional medicine to give each patient the best outlook and care. Ultimately, integrative medicine is integrating functional medicine and holistic therapies with what we’ve learned through history regarding how the human body works. God gave us everything we need to survive from the beginning of human life. Dr. Mehta ends this segment by explaining through the study of medicine, it’s incredibly difficult to not believe that there is a God or a higher power that has created this body. The human body is made to be able to tolerate all kinds of different injuries, in all kinds of different aspects of life, while adapting to the environment. There is absolutely no other machine that man has ever made that’s even similar to the divine healing capabilities of the human body.

Clinical Trial – Spinal Morphine Provides an Effective Pain Control in Patients Undergoing Transurethral Resection of Prostate Gland
Pain after transurethral resection of prostate is considered mild to moderate severity from
detrusor muscle spasm and traction from urinary catheter. Numerous pain relieve methods have
been studied including spinal opioids, spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic and
dexmedetomidine, periprostatic nerve blockade with bupivacaine and mixing of prilocaine with
distilled water irrigation while undergoing a procedure. Most of patients having this
procedure are in elderly period, thus many anesthetists avoided spinal morphine which may
cause respiratory depressant effect postoperatively. Although previous studies showed
effectiveness of spinal morphine 25-200 mcg, some patients suffered from neuraxial opioid
side effects.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate efficacy of local anesthetic with intrathecal
morphine 50 mcg providing pain relieve after transurethral resection of prostate compare to
spinal anesthesia with sole local anesthetic.
Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Registry
The purpose of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Registry (HBOTR) is to provide real world
patient outcome and side effect information from electronic health records submitted to a
specialty specific hyperbaric registry as part of "Stage 2 of Meaningful Use," including data
provided to meet PQRS requirements via the registry’s QCDR mission.
Goals include understanding the value of HBOT among patients treated for a variety of
conditions in relation to the frequency and severity of HBOT side effects. While randomized,
controlled trials can establish the efficacy of treatments like HBOT, because they routinely
exclude patients with co-morbid conditions common to those patients seen in usual clinical
practice, the results of RCTs are usually non-generalizable. Real world data can be used to
better understand the effectiveness of HBOT among typical patients, as well as the risks
associated with treatment.
