Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) affects 1.2 million people in the USA, mostly teen-agers to young adults. It is a disease in which the last 3 feet of our bowel, the colon, lose their inner layer, the mucosa. Inflammation, or cryptitis, of the budding portion of the mucosa, is a hallmark of the disease. Mayor complications are sclerosing cholangitis, which leads […]

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), that tend to be hereditary and affect approximately 1 in 100 people mostly adults between 20 and 40. In around 10% of cases, it is not possible for doctors to distinguish between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Ulcerative colitis affects the rectum and variable amounts of the rest of the […]

The era of hyperbaric oxygen has finally arrived. A high-tech treatment that administers 100 percent oxygen at controlled pressures, forcing healing oxygen deep into tissues, has long been medically approved to treat conditions like bone infection, tissue necrosis caused by serious burns, or carbon monoxide poisoning. But until recently, most hyperbaric chambers were located in hospitals. Now centers are springing […]

J.A. Buckley/Medical Veritas 2 (2005) 647 Hypothesis Physicists figured out years ago that a gas under pressure is more likely to dissolve into liquid—in mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the gas is oxygen and the liquid is blood. But under pressure, oxygen doesn’t only hook up to red blood cells (the “traditional” way oxygen is delivered to tissues), it also dissolves […]
