Stem Cell Collection And Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
My husband was diagnosed in June 2008 with multiple myeloma at the age of 48 after having severe back pain, which turned out to be a vertebral compression fracture. When you are injured or have a wound, stem cells mobilize in your bone marrow, spill into the blood stream, and travel to the injury to heal it, like a little army. When a wound won’t heal, HBOT can step in and dramatically improve the outcome. The horse rehab center sent me a paper from the University of Pennsylvania by Dr. Stephen R. Thom called “Stem cell mobilization by hyperbaric Oxygen [3],” which was published in June 2007. I’m not a scientist, but the abstract and the conclusions were clear to me. Including 20 HBOTs for Dave would potentially increase his “stem cell mobilization” eight-fold.
