At a Glance HBOT delivers 100% oxygen at 1.5 to 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA), increasing brain oxygen delivery by 10 to 15 times normal. The strongest clinical evidence is for mild-to-moderate TBI with persistent post-concussion syndrome, particularly in military populations. Israeli SPECT imaging studies show HBOT-associated improvements in cerebral blood flow correlating with cognitive and…
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.
At a Glance 10-pass ozone therapy (hyperbaric ozone autohemotherapy) delivers 10 cycles of ozone-blood mixing in a single session, roughly 10 times the ozone exposure of standard MAH. The treatment uses a specialized device (originally the Herrmann/Zotzmann Ozonosan) that draws blood, ozonates it under pressure, and returns it, repeating the cycle 10 times. Cost ranges…
At a Glance What it is: Injection of dextrose (sugar water) solution into and around the knee joint to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Best for: Mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis, ligament laxity, chronic knee instability, and knee pain that has not responded to physical therapy alone. Protocol: Typically 4-6 sessions spaced 3-6 weeks apart; some…
Chelation therapy uses binding agents to remove heavy metals from the body. This guide covers how it works, what the research shows for lead poisoning, cardiovascular disease, and environmental toxicity, plus costs, safety, and what to expect.
At a Glance You cannot absorb NAD+ directly from oral supplements; the molecule is too large to cross the intestinal lining intact and must be synthesized inside cells from precursors. Oral NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) do raise blood NAD+ levels by 40-90%, as shown in human trials, but the clinical significance of…
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…
At a Glance True IgE-mediated food allergies trigger eczema in a minority of patients, most commonly in children under 5, while non-allergic food sensitivities are far more common in adults. Dairy, eggs, soy, wheat, and tree nuts are the most frequently identified dietary triggers, but no single food causes flares in all patients. A 4-6…
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.
