HBOT News welcomes Dr. Peter Canaday. Dr. Canaday now lives primarily in New Zealand, but his history with medicine and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy dates back over 40 years to the United States.
In this HBOT News Network Conversations, Dr. Canaday spends the first several minutes providing listeners with his biography and medical background. He also dives into his experience with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the 1980s.
The subject of PTSD and recent Hyperbaric research arises, and Dr. Canaday expands on the topic by referencing two research articles from Dr. Paul G. Harch –
Dr. Canaday further explains, “There is a recruitment of the anti-inflammatory enzymes and a suppression of the pro-inflammatory enzymes that can be achieved through even these lower pressure units. And so we’re beginning to see now the potential mechanism for which Hyperbaric Therapy, whether with or without oxygen, may be effective.”
The remainder of this HBOT News Conversation is specific to the topic of COVID-19. di Girolamo starts the conversation discussing the struggles for long-hauler COVID patients and the growing number of vaccine injuries as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Canaday agrees that the scientific inquiry for COVID-19 and the available information for associated vaccines has been widely suppressed. He continues that even the data which represent conclusions from peer-reviewed literature has been simply ignored, or set aside without discussion.
In response, Dr. Canaday provides viewers with direct links on how they can learn more about some of the data and information he’s shared with the public regarding the COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs:

As well, he participated in a dozen committee assignments, and rose to Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine. In 1993, Dr Canaday changed career and completed training as a Radiologist at the University of Wisconsin in 1997.

Clinical Trial – Urinary Retention in Orthopedic Patients
The participants were hospitalized in Orthopedic and Traumatology Departments in Military
Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland.
The inclusion criteria were (1) age to 40 year-old, (2) no history of urologic problems, and
(3) surgery under spinal anesthesia. All the patients where (1) opioids were administered
during the surgery, (2) general anesthesia was necessary, and (3) the urinary bladder
catheterization was perform during the surgery were excluded from the study.
The participants were randomly divided into the study and control groups. No oral
premedication was administered. All the patients were asked to empty their urinary bladders
before arrival to the operating theatre. When the standard monitoring (continuous
electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry) was started, intravenous
premedication with midazolam was administered and lumbar spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric
0.5% solution of bupivacaine hydrochloride was performed.
In the study group, but not in the the control one, the 40 mg of drotaverine hydrochloride
was administered intramuscularly. The decresed intravascular volume was corrected with
cristalloids. During the surgery the adequate, not deeper than II grade according to Ramsay
scale, level of sedationt was obtained with midazolam and/or propofol. All the participants
received a questionaire in which we asked the questions about (1) the duration of anesthesia,
(2) the time of micturition, (3) the time when discomfort or pain appeared in the lower
abdomen, (4) the incidence of the urinary bladder catheterization and time to
catheterization. On the next day after the surgery the questionaires were collected. In
cases, when the patient’s dischaged from the hospital was planned during the weekend, he or
she was asked to pass on the questionaire to the nurses.
