HBOT Conversations:
Dr. Paul Harch & 8,101 Genes
He is the author of The Oxygen Revolution and is considered an International expert and pioneer in the field of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). His informative, and comprehensive guide on HBOT has helped countless souls better understand what HBOT is and how it directly affects the body at the genetic level.
This episode on 8,101 genes is the eighth in a nine episode series that will be released weekly with Dr. Harch.

In episode 8 of 9, host Edward di Girolamo speaks with world renowned HBOT expert, Dr. Paul G. Harch, about aging and the 8,101 genes HBOT affects.
di Girolamo starts this conversation with Dr. Harch bringing up the 8,101 genes that are activated by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The discussion leads to talk of Big Pharma, telomeres, reparative gene process, patents, and successful business models for HBOT clinics.
Dr. Harch explains that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy affects 8,101 of our genes, and it’s doing so on a different level for the ones that are overactive and abnormal in the disease process. He speaks of a 2004 lecture he gave to A4M about the effects of HBOT on longevity; and asks, “Where is senescence and aging based?”, answering with, “It’s in our DNA”. Dr. Harch dives in to how HBOT turns on our genes to grow new tissue and stimulates cellular repair and regeneration. di Girolamo agrees and brings up a different past lecture from Dr. Harch where Harch referred to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as the ‘Fountain of Youth‘.
This series ends with Dr. Harch discussing a Buffalo VA study, and how the study subjects (comprised of older veterans) literally came alive and started propositioning nurses after Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatments. He explained this is why no follow-up study was ever done because they weren’t expecting such and didn’t know what to do. Makes sense…. studies have shown success in HBOT treating erectile dysfunction.

Dr. Paul G. Harch, MD
Dr. Harch initiated and continues to be a private practice that has resulted in the largest case experience in neurological hyperbaric medicine in the world. In this practice, he adapted the concepts of conventional hyperbaric oxygen therapy to wounds in the central nervous system, which spawned the subsequent academic and research practice. Harch HBOT is the best place to receive oxygen therapy treatments, and patients have traveled from more than 50 countries to be treated by Dr. Harch himself.

Clinical Trial – the Use of Magnesium Sulfate for Prevention of Postspinal Shivering
Shivering is an unpleasant experience after spinal anesthesia. Shivering is defined as an
involuntary, repetitive activity of skeletal muscles. The mechanisms of shivering in patients
undergoing surgery are mainly intraoperative heat loss, increased sympathetic tone, pain, and
systemic release of pyrogens. Spinal anesthesia significantly impairs the thermoregulation
system by inhibiting tonic vasoconstriction, which plays a significant role in temperature
regulation. Spinal anesthesia also causes redistribution of core heat from the trunk (below
the block level) to the peripheral tissues. These two effects predispose patients to
hypothermia and shivering. The median incidence of shivering related to regional anesthesia
observed in a review of 21 studies is 55%. Shivering increases oxygen consumption, lactic
acidosis, carbon dioxide production, and metabolic rate by up to 400%. Therefore, shivering
may cause problems in patients with low cardiac and pulmonary reserves. The best way to avoid
these intraoperative and postoperative shivering-induced increases in hemodynamic and
metabolic demands is to prevent shivering in the first place. Although magnesium is among
several pharmacological agents used for the treatment of shivering, its effects on prevention
of shivering during central neuraxial blockade have not been evaluated to date. Henceforth,
the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of magnesiume on shivering during spinal
anesthesia.
Aim:
to compare the efficacy of intravenous versus intrathecal magnesium sulphate for prevention
of post spinal shivering in adult patients undergoing elective lower limb orthopedic
surgeries.
Clinical Trial – Comparing the Effects of Levobupivacaine and Bupivacaine in Saddle Spinal Anesthesia
İn this study; it was aimed to investigate the effects of equipotent doses of hyperbaric
bupivacaine and hyperbaric levobupivacaine in outpatient anorectal surgery under saddle
block. Sixty patients between the age of 18- 50 and in the risk group of ASA I-II included in
the study. 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric bupivacaine or 7,5 mg of 0,5% hyperbaric levobupivacaine
injected into the intrathecal space in sitting position through L4-L5 or L5-S1 intervertebral
space in 30 seconds. All patients kept in sitting position for 5 minutes with aid after
intrathecal injection and than layed in supine position, finally they positioned in prone
jack-knife. Hemodynamic parameters like NIBP, HR, SpO2, sensory and motor block
characteristics, duration of analgesia, time of first voiding, mobilization time, patient and
surgeon satisfaction, adverse effects and discharge time were recorded during and after
surgery.
