HBOT Conversations:
Dr. Peter Canaday (Part 2)
Dr. Peter Canaday has published work in Applied Physiology, Respiratory Medicine, and Diagnostic Radiology. He has presented at National (USA) and International meetings, and his research supported the eventual FDA approval of a new medical imaging device incorporating digital X-ray tomosynthesis. He has sat on National, State, and Local advisory committees, and given testimony at the State Legislative level in the USA.
Dr. Canaday’s experience with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy dates back to the 1980s when he studied HBOT under Dr. Eric Kindwall, “The Father of Hyperbaric Medicine”. Dr. Canaday also co-founded the Hyperbaric Medicine Department at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, Colorado.
From 2007, Dr. Canaday spent time in community radiology practices before settling in New Zealand in 2013 as a Consultant Radiologist. Since 2016, he was employed at a Midlands region DHB and served as Head of Department before retiring in March 2021.

HBOT News Network welcomes Dr. Peter Canaday.
This is Part 2 of Conversations with Dr. Peter Canaday. Part 1 can be viewed here. 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 continues the discussion on COVID-19 vaccines and the suppression of medical data. di Girolamon asks the question, “where do we go from here?”. Dr. Canaday explains that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is one of the most exciting things that has piqued his interest in the medical field. He explains that huge numbers are really starting to be revealed of people who have been negatively affected by COVID, either from the point of long-COVID or from a vaccine injury; and Hyperbaric Oxygen could be potentially very helpful to this population, as it is a natural therapy involving oxygen and pressure that upregulates the anti-inflammatory gene and down regulates the inflammatory gene.
However, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy threatens the pharmaceutical companies bottom line and when that happens we all start to see some pretty disturbing things start surfacing — such as the science being buried, fake studies being published showing HBOT to be ineffective, major medical Journals rejecting scientific articles outlining all the adverse affects from the vaccine.
The spirit of humanity needs to be embraced here, and it is not.
Dr. Canaday encourages viewers to learn more at www.nzdsos.com — it’s “New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science“. The NZDSOS is very similar to America’s Frontline Doctors and there is a plethora of educational information that can be learned regarding what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic and is still happening today. Dr. Canaday further encourages us all to open our eyes, hearts and ears as we listen and digest to all of this information. Often times, it’s when doctors keep getting shut down and censored that we all need to be listening closer instead of turning the other cheek.
Dr. Canaday and di Girolamo stresses that everyone should be looking into the God-given miracle of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Be sure to find a treatment center near you if you are experiencing effects of long-COVID or a vaccine injury.

Guest
Dr. Peter Canaday
Following completion of medical school at the University of Massachusetts in 1976, Dr. Peter Canaday took up training as an Internal Medicine specialist at the University of Michigan, followed by sub-specialist training in Respiratory and Intensive Care at the University of North Carolina. He began his medical career in a busy trauma hospital in Denver, Colorado in 1981 and practiced for 12 years. During his time there, he managed many of the types of patients now seen with severe COVID-19, co-founded a sleep disorders laboratory and a hyperbaric medicine department. 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. During an 8-year period at Creighton University Medical School in Nebraska, he became tenured as an Assistant Professor of Radiology, and head of the section of Pulmonary Radiology. He also served on or chaired over a dozen hospital and medical school committees and was appointed Clinical Coordinator for the Radiology Department during his time there. Dr Canaday has also published work in applied physiology, respiratory medicine, and diagnostic radiology, has presented at national (USA) and international meetings, and his research supported the eventual FDA approval of a new medical imaging device incorporating digital X-ray tomosynthesis. He has sat on national, state, and local level advisory committees and given testimony at the state legislative level in the USA. From 2007, Dr Canaday spent time in community radiology practices before settling in New Zealand in 2013 as a Consultant Radiologist. Since 2016, he was employed at the Taranaki District Health Board and served as Head of Department before retiring in March 2021.

Healing of spongiosus-cutaneous fistula with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): a case report.
Abstract: We present a case of a spongiosus-cutaneous fistula in a 39-year-old man with recurrent episodes of cutaneous abscess in dorsal middle third penis (5 - 3 cm) treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). After emptying nodular abscess, the patient was...
Clinical Trial – Caudal Block,Saddle Block, Anorectal Surgery
Anorectal surgery includes pilonidal sinus, hemorrhoidectomy, anal fissure, and anal fistula
operations. Various surgical and anesthetic techniques have been used to increase the level
of analgesia in perioperative period and decrease the length of stay in the hospital. In this
study, investigators investigate the effects of routinely applied anesthesia techniques
during anorectal surgery, caudal block and saddle block, on patients’ perioperative
hemodynamic values, sensory and motor block levels, and postoperative pain scores.
Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis Flares
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease associated with recurrent
mucosal inflammation. Clinically, the disease is characterized by bloody diarrhea, abdominal
pain, and constitutional symptoms such as fever and weight loss. Treatment strategies vary
based on disease activity and target various aspects of the inflammatory cascade. Options
include: anti-inflammatory drugs (mesalamine), immunosuppressive or modulatory medications
(corticosteroids, thiopurines, cyclosporine) and biologic agents (Anti-TNF). Disease severity
can be wide ranging, and nearly 25% of UC patients are hospitalized for acute severe disease.
Of these patients, 30% will undergo colectomy after the acute episode, a quarter of which
will experience post-operative complications. Although there has been great progress in
treatment of UC over the past decade, even with the anti-TNF agent infliximab, the one-year
remission rate for patients not responding to conservative management is barely 20%.
Furthermore, corticosteroids have significant long-term consequences and immune suppressive
drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine and infliximab have been associated with serious
adverse events including life-threatening infections and lymphomas. With growing evidence
that the pathogenesis of UC is multi-factorial and involves a complex interaction of genetic
and environmental factors, newer treatment modalities are being evaluated to target the
mucosal immune response and mucosal inflammatory regulatory system.
Hyperbaric oxygen offers a promising new treatment option since it targets both tissue
hypoxia and inflammation. Recent small scales studies evaluating the impact of hyperbaric
oxygen treatment in acute ulcerative colitis flares demonstrated improved outcomes. The
mechanisms underlying the improvement are not known. In this study, we will treat ulcerative
colitis flares with hyperbaric oxygen and measure changes in both markers of tissue hypoxia
and inflammation. We hypothesize that hyperbaric oxygen will (a) improve outcomes, and (b)
show reductions in markers of both tissue hypoxia and inflammation.
