HOW HBOT CAN HELP CANCER
Increased oxygenation: HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, leading to increased oxygen levels in the bloodstream. Tumors often have poor blood supply and are characterized by a low-oxygen (hypoxic) environment. HBOT can help overcome this by delivering high concentrations of oxygen to the tissues, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of radiation therapy and certain chemotherapy drugs that require oxygen to work optimally.
​
Improved wound healing: Cancer sufferers may experience delayed wound healing, particularly after surgical procedures or radiation therapy. HBOT promotes tissue regeneration and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), which can aid in wound healing and reduce the risk of complications such as infections.
​
Reduction of radiation-induced side effects: Radiation therapy is a common treatment modality for cancer, but it can cause side effects such as tissue damage and radiation-induced fibrosis. HBOT has been shown to reduce these side effects by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. It can help alleviate radiation-induced pain, promote healing, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals undergoing radiation therapy.

HOW RED LIGHT CAN HELP CANCER
Reducing chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis: Oral mucositis is a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. It involves inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat. Some studies have explored the use of red light therapy to alleviate the symptoms of oral mucositis and promote healing of the affected tissues.
​
Enhancing wound healing: Cancer treatments, such as surgery and radiation therapy, can cause wounds that may be slow to heal. Red light therapy has been investigated as a potential adjunctive treatment to accelerate wound healing in cancer patients. It is thought to stimulate cellular activity and promote tissue repair.
​
Managing cancer-related skin reactions: Radiation therapy can cause skin reactions, such as radiation dermatitis, which can be uncomfortable and affect a patient's quality of life. Some studies have explored the use of red light therapy to alleviate radiation-induced skin reactions and improve the overall condition of the skin.
HOW CAN PEMF ENERGY HEALING HELP CANCER
Pain management: PEMF therapy has been studied for its potential to alleviate cancer-related pain. It may help reduce pain by modulating nerve activity and promoting relaxation of muscles surrounding the tumor site.
​
Bone metastases: In some cases of cancer, particularly advanced stages of breast or prostate cancer, cancer cells can spread to the bones, leading to pain and complications. PEMF therapy has been investigated as a complementary treatment to help manage bone pain and improve quality of life in individuals with bone metastases.
​
Wound healing: Cancer treatments such as surgery or radiation therapy can sometimes lead to delayed wound healing. PEMF therapy has been studied for its potential to enhance wound healing and tissue repair, which could be beneficial for individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
​
Enhancing treatment efficacy: Some research suggests that PEMF therapy may enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It's thought that PEMF therapy may sensitize cancer cells to these treatments, making them more susceptible to damage.
​
​
Reducing treatment side effects: Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and inflammation. PEMF therapy has been explored for its potential to alleviate these side effects and improve overall quality of life during cancer treatment.
