Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Neubauer and Walker – Dr. Morton Walker Health Book)
by Richard A. Neubauer, Dpm Morton WalkerWhat do people who suffer strokes, multiple sclerosis attacks, and severed limbs have in common?…”…a look into how HBOT heals damaged tissues, promotes faster and cleaner healing of wounds and burns, fights infections, and aids in the recovery of strokes, radiation damage, and head and spinal chord injuries.Europeans have done more research than Americans have on hyperbaric oxygen therapy–HBOT–and Europe has more and better facilities for it than the U.S. has. Italy, Belgium, and Russia are the HBOT pioneers; meanwhile, in the U.S., most doctors did not learn about HBOT in medical school, there is a shortage of proper (often costly) facilities, and more research is needed. Neubauer and Walker seek to foster public awareness of HBOT, so that patients will ask their doctors about it and thereby spur increased U.S. medical awareness. HBOT works primarily by forcing oxygen into blood plasma rather than blood cells. Neubauer and Walker describe several conditions for which HBOT has proven useful and safe, including healing serious wounds, preventing gas gangrene and related amputations, and treating brain and spinal cord injuries. They strain a bit, though, when they say HBOT can treat AIDS; what it really does is help heal Kaposi’s sarcoma. Most of their references are, creditably enough, to articles in top-drawer medical journals. William Beatty

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Otorhinolaryngology
by N. Yanagita, T. NakashimaThis volume presents important new scientific data on hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, a technique already in clinical use in the field of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery. As well as examining present-day applications, leading specialists look at possible future indications of this therapy and pay particular attention to otological complications caused by HBO therapy. Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, and tinnitus are challenging problems for otologists because of the difficulties in finding the right treatment for many cases. The effectiveness of HBO therapy in treating these disorders is described in detail, in addition to its role in the management of bone-anchored reconstruction with titanium implants in irradiated head and neck cancer patients. Another new indication for HBO therapy in the field of otology, is facial palsy, which is closely examined in this book.

Oxygen: Nature’s Most Important Dietary Supplement
by Stephen R. KraussOxygen is perhaps the most important element on the planet. It is the key to life. It possesses sanitizing, disinfecting, preserving, and deodorizing properties. Oxygen: Natures Most Important Dietary Supplement, looks at the remarkable properties of oxygen and why oxygen is so important to a healthy body.”Oxidative stress is a condition in which reactive oxygen species(R.O.S.) are not properly balanced by increased oxygen-processing enzymes and free radical scavengers. Common sense would seen to dictate that the more oxygen delivered to the cell the greater its susceptibility to reactive oxygen damage. However, the fact of the matter is that the opposite is true. Mr. Krauss explains the relationship between oxygen, free radicals, and overall health in a simple, yet powerful, way. A “Must-Have” book for nutritionists and health care professionals.” Nicholas Rana, C.N.

Oxygen to the Rescue: Oxygen Therapies and How They Help Overcome Disease, Promote Repair, and Improve Overall Function
by Pavel YutsisThroughout the world-in China, Japan, Cuba, Canada, Russia, and most of Europe-healing therapies using oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide have been common for treating a wide array of diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and arthritis. Yet in the United States, where the mainstream medical community is dependent upon funding from the pharmaceutical industry for research and physician training, these highly efficacious and relatively inexpensive therapies have been largely ignored. Dr. Pavel Yutsis, Medical Director of the CAM Institute for Integrative Therapies, has been using these bio-oxidative techniques for more than twenty years, from the beginning of his career in his native Russia. In Oxygen to the Rescue, Dr. Yutsis explains the difference between oxygenation and oxidation. He describes the four main types of oxygen therapy: – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy – Ozone Therapy – Photoluminescence-or ultraviolet radiation of blood (UVIB), and discusses conventional uses versus experimental/controversial uses for each, as well as the means of administering these therapies. For example, HBOT is typically used by mainstream medicine to promote healing of burns and skin grafts, as well as to treat carbon dioxide poisoning and smoke inhalation. Hydrogen peroxide delivers oxygen to the blood and makes it possible for the body to use oxygen more effectively. It regulates sugar, enhances immune system function, and helps cells produce energy. Oxygen to the Rescue provides both the findings of scientific research and anecdotal evidence demonstrating that these underused therapies deserve to be acknowledged among frontline medicine in the United States.
