There is some evidence that hyperbaric oxygen therapy kills cancer cells because it forces oxygen into the cancer cells and causes oxidative stress that the cells are generally are not capable of defending against, but poses no issue to our normal functioning cells—similar to the theory behind chemo. However I do not know the efficacy nor do I have an outlined treatment regimen. This research I believe is in its infancy. And cancer is a waaaay complicated topic and shouldn’t be oversimplified. But this is likely a low cost option.
I haven’t listened to this episode in years but I believe what was discussed was hyperbaric oxygen therapy plus ketones as a “long shot” treatment for certain cancers. I believe they also coined the term or reference a new field of medicine called “metabolic oncology.”
