Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury uses 100% oxygen at 1.5 to 2.0 ATA over 40 to 60 sessions, with its best evidence in mild TBI with lasting post-concussion symptoms. Results are mixed in sham-controlled trials, and the FDA has not cleared HBOT for TBI.
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from ACTH that has been used clinically in Russia for decades. Research points to cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and anxiety reduction through BDNF upregulation and dopamine modulation.
10-pass ozone therapy runs ten cycles of blood ozonation under pressure in one session, roughly ten times the ozone of standard MAH, at $800 to $2,500 per session. No randomized trial shows it beats MAH, so the value depends on your condition and budget.
A prolo injection for the knee (prolotherapy) is a course of dextrose injections into and around the knee joint meant to prompt tissue repair. In the 2013 Rabago trial of 90 adults with knee osteoarthritis, it improved pain, function and stiffness more than saline or home exercise at 52 weeks.
Chelation therapy for heavy metal poisoning uses drugs such as succimer (DMSA) or calcium disodium EDTA to bind lead, mercury or arsenic so the kidneys can excrete them, and the CDC recommends it for children with blood lead of 45 mcg/dL or higher.
IV NAD+ gives 100% bioavailability at $500-$1,500 a session, while oral NR and NMN raise blood NAD+ by 40-90% for $40-$100 a month. Here is which form fits which situation.
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain circuits in people with treatment-resistant depression. Learn about response rates, what sessions feel like, the accelerated SAINT protocol, and how TMS compares to medication and ECT.
At a Glance Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is best supported for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, with strong evidence from multiple RCTs and systematic reviews. Rotator cuff tendinopathy and frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) also have meaningful evidence, though less definitive than for calcific tendinitis. Focused shockwave penetrates deeper and is preferable for calcifications; radial shockwave…
The foods most likely to trigger eczema flares are cow's milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts and tree nuts, but food allergy drives eczema in about one in three children with moderate to severe disease and far fewer adults, so avoid only foods confirmed by testing or a structured elimination trial.
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from the immune-modulating molecule tuftsin. Developed in Russia, it has demonstrated anxiolytic and nootropic effects through GABA modulation and BDNF upregulation. Here is what the research shows about dosing, delivery, and clinical outcomes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for long COVID improved cognition, energy and fatigue in a 2022 sham-controlled trial of 73 patients. A 2025 Swedish trial of 10 sessions found no benefit, so the evidence is promising but early.
