Hyperbaric on Immune System
Mild Hyperbaric
Therapy As An Immune Modulator Gunnar Heuser, M.D.,
Ph.D., Olga Aguilera, M.D., Sylvia Heurser, M.A., Shayna Kasbee, B.A., and
Tanya Peach, B.S. Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment (mHBO) in a portable chamber,
at 1.3 ATA and 24% oxygen, administered daily for ten consecutive sessions (1
hour each) improves brain function as measured by SPECT brain scan and a test
for attention and reaction time. Patients often report a sense of well-being and youthfulness
after mHBO therapy. We wondered whether immune function in positively affected by
mHBO. We chose apoptosis (a function
of programmed cell death) and natural killer cell activity (a function of
immune surveillance) as parameters in 9 patients. Our preliminary date, illustrated in graph form, show that 10
mHBO sessions can positively affect immune function: natural killer cell
function increases apoptosis values decrease. More sessions may be needed to affect positive results in an
even higher percentage of patients. We conclude that mHBO can improve immune function. Since apoptosis numbers increase with age
the reversal of that process may have significance with regard to aging.
