IV Therapy gives you 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acidsIV therapy gives us results in otherwise tricky conditions to treat Mood, energy and cognition can easily improve with IV Therapy |
Our Naturopaths have given thousands of IV Therapy treatments since 2010
IV Therapy Effects
100% absorption - IV Therapy guarantees 100% absorption of a given dose.
Our Naturopathic doctors are able to give precise doses with no gastrointestinal side effects.
Higher blood levels - Absorption saturation is "side-stepped" by IV Therapy.
Our Naturopathic doctors can administer higher doses of nutrients intravenously.
Rapid results - IV Therapy results are often extremely rapid.
Commonly a robust effect is seen within 24 hours which is rarely seen with oral therapies.
Combining HBOT and IV Therapy
IV Vitamin C
Synergy is expected between oxidative (oxygen based) cancer therapies like IV Vitamin C and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
In-vitro data indicates treatment with sub-cytotoxic doses of Vitamin C had cytotoxic effects when Hyperbaric Oxygen was added.
The researchers described it as "the cytotoxic oxidative stress mechanism of IV Vitamin C is therapeutically exploited by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy."
IV Alpha Lipoic Acid
Hyperbaric Oxygen is a strong driver of the Krebs Cycle and Alpha Lipoic Acid is as well (it is a cofactor for the pyruvate dehydrogenase).
The in-vivo data presented by Poff and D’Agostino (2013) showed Ketogenic diets were strongly synergistic with Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment.
We would also expect IV Therapy with Alpha Lipoic Acid to enhance these because of shared mechanisms and therefore a role in the metabolic treatment of cancer.
IV Myers Cocktail
The Myers is our premier vitamin IV Therapy.
Our Naturopathic doctors use it to enhance energy, mood and cognitive function in our Edmonton patients.
Mechanistic synergy is expected between Hyperbaric Oxygen and the Myers IV Therapy because of the roles of the B Vitamins in the Krebs Cycle.
IV NAD
IV NAD+ is a premier IV Therapy we offer Edmonton for fatigue and longevity.
NAD+ as NADH is involved in the electron transport chain which is an oxygen driven process which therefore theoretically enhanced by the oxygenation provided by HBOT.
NAD+ IV therapy with HBOT may provide additional substrate for ATP production.

Hyperbaric Research
HBO has a long history of research for many conditions
We've summarized some of the medical research for Hyperbaric Therapy
Brain injury, stroke and long covid are top conditions treated in 2024
Autoimmune:
Hyperbaric Oxygen has shown benefit in a range of autoimmune diseases.
According to Butler (2009) HBO has suppressive effects on pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Including decreased production CD4 cells (TH1/TH17) and increased percentage of CD8 cells (Al-Waili et al. 2006).
MS:
Significant data exists for the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen in MS.
For instance, Oriani et al (1990) studied 44 MS patients with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers.
In the Hyperbaric group, 14/22 MS patients reported benefits vs. 2/22 in the Hyperbaric air group.
Dr. Muradov has extensive experience treating MS with Naturopathic medicine.
Psoriasis:
Butler (2009) showed good results using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in two patients.
A 40-year-old man with full body psoriasis - eight sessions resulted in significant amelioration.
A 55-year-old man with extensive psoriasis had significant improvement after 15 sessions.
Our Naturopathic doctors have significant experience treating Psoriasis in our Edmonton clinic.
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Rui-Chang (1994) used Hyperbaric Chambers in 37 patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Relief of pain and swelling with improved mobility was seen.
24.3 % recovered completely, 51.4 % improved markedly.
Our Naturopaths also use foods as the foundation for RA treatment in our Edmonton patients.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease:
Dulai 2014 conducted a systematic review of the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in IBD.
Based on 17 studies involving 613 patients.
The overall response rate using was 86% in Crohn’s disease and 88% in Ulcerative Colitis.
Naturopathic medicine once again uses food allergy identification as a base treatment in IBD.
Neurological Disease:
The most important effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen are on the brain.
The brain consumes 20% of the body's oxygen despite being only 2% of the body's weight.
Mechanisms include enhanced circulation, mitochondrial function as well as Stem Cell mobilization.
Vascular Dementia:
Xu 2019 looked at 158 patients with Vascular Dementia.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was given 5 days per week, for 12 weeks.
After treatment, compared with the control group, the MMSE scores were significantly increased.
Our Naturopathic doctors have used Vinpocetine for vascular dementia in our Edmonton patients.
Stroke:
Much research has been conducted on the positive effects of HBO for chronic stroke.
Neubauer and End (1980) - 65% reported an improvement in the quality of life (up to 9 years after).
Efrati et al. (2013) - significant neurological improvements were seen in chronic stroke (up to 3 years after)
Both studies suggest that partial restoration of brain function can still be activated long after the initial insult.
Hyperbaric Oxygen is the main treatment we use for Stroke at our Edmonton office.
Lyme:
Texas A&M University Pilot Program - treated patients with "post-Lyme disease syndrome" (PLDS) with HBO.
Chronic Lyme patients underwent up to 40 1 hour Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions.
Improvement or resolution of Chronic Lyme neurological symptoms was observed in 37 of 38 subjects.
The effect was sustained in approximately 70 % of subjects for up to 6 years.
We do offer Edmonton IV Therapy that can be helpful for healing from Chronic Lyme.
TBI:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) has been extensively studied with HBO.
Harch et al. 2012 treated 16 patients with mild to moderate TBI and PCS.
Each patient received 40, 60 minute Hyperbaric Chamber sessions.
80% of patients reported improvement in a majority of their mTBI symptoms after Hyperbaric treatment.
Our Naturopaths have seen great results using Glutathione IV for mTBI & PCS.
Athletics:
Relevant HBO mechanisms: reduction of edema, stimulation of collagen and stem cell release.
Ishii et al (1999) looked at 22 athletes with various injuries and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment.
Chamber pressures used between 1.3 and 2.0 ATA, with dives from 30 to 90 minutes.
More than 70% of the patients experienced improvement after Hyperbaric treatment.
For sports injury, our Naturopathic doctors often focus on oral enzymes, and IV Therapy

Cancer
Hyperbaric oxygen is well known in the management of radionecrosis (tissue damage from radiation).
HBO is thought to synergize with alternative cancer therapies such as IV Vitamin C or Alpha Lipoic Acid.
The synergy is through oxidative or metabolic actions respectively.
Poff and D’Agostino (2013) used a mouse model of metastatic cancer with Ketogenic diet and HBO.
Combining the Ketogenic diet and HBO elicited a decrease in tumor growth rate and increase in survival time.
Top Hyperbaric Oxygen Questions
How often are Hyperbaric Chamber treatments given?
For most conditions, Hyperbaric treatments are once a day - usually Monday through Friday.
Treatments range anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes but most commonly 60-90 minutes.
The length and frequency of treatments and Hyperbaric Chamber pressure will be individualized for you.
What will I feel in the Hyperbaric Chamber?
As the chamber pressurizes you will feel a fullness in your ears as your eardrums adjust.
You will definitely have to "crack" your ears to balance the pressure.
The temperature tends to increase as pressurization occurs and cools as depressurization occurs.
How soon can someone start to feel better from HBOT?
This depends on the condition being treated - sometimes benefits happen almost immediately.
For chronic neurological conditions, oftentimes 20 to 40 treatments are needed.
