🤌🏼New YouTube Video JUST Dropped! Sometimes when people hear that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is being used off-label, there’s an assumption that it’s either experimental or unsafe.

That’s a misconception I’d like to clear up.
Off-label use is a completely normal part of practicing medicine, and in this video we’re discussing what off-label use actually means, when it’s appropriate, and how to use clinical judgment to make safe and effective recommendations for your patients.

🚨 A Huge Milestone for HBOT USA 🚨

Six years ago, Dr. Jason set out with a simple mission: help make the hyperbaric industry safer, more consistent, and more effective by sharing the same systems and standards used in our clinics for over 20 years.

At the time, there was no way to know if there was even a real demand for this kind of education.

Fast forward to this weekend in Auburn, Washington…

🌍 HBOT USA has now certified over 1,000 clinicians and technicians worldwide.

This milestone has only been possible with the support and accreditation of:
• International Hyperbarics Association (IHA)
• International Board of Undersea Medicine (IBUM)

Over the years we’ve had the privilege of teaching sold-out courses across the world, including:
🇪🇸 Spain
🇦🇺 Australia
🇨🇦 Canada
🇬🇧 England
🇧🇸 The Bahamas
🇺🇸 United States

We’re incredibly grateful for the trust, the turnout, the feedback, and the impact these programs are having across the industry.

If you’ve been thinking about:
✔️ Learning more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy
✔️ Getting certified
✔️ Recertifying and staying current

We’d love to support you.

And stay tuned… big changes are coming soon that will make our programs even more accessible.

Thank you to everyone who has helped HBOT USA reach this milestone.

We’re just getting started.

Why take Hydrogen (specifically, molecular hydrogen, or H2)?

One of the reasons I really like hydrogen is because it’s a reducing agent. What does that mean? Ultimately, it's like an antioxidant. It's not actually an antioxidant, but it behaves similarly to an antioxidant. In other words, oxidation acts often as a free radical. So when we get oxidized, it breaks down cell components. It can break down a cell membrane,

It can break down DNA or nuclear membranes, it could break down the mitochondria or the mitochondrial membrane. So oxidation has been known to do damage to a lot of cell parts. At the same time, antioxidants protect us from that oxidation. One of the reasons I love hydrogen is because it does behave similar to an antioxidant, but it is not capable of creating an over reduced state.

And so we can take in quite a bit of hydrogen. Hydrogen is also used in so many other places in our body that it's really helpful to have a surplus of hydrogen in our system.

Could I just make up for in time what I'm lacking in pressure with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Let's just use two specific treatment protocols.

At 1.5 atmospheres, which is equivalent to saying seven and a half psi, versus 2.0 atmospheres, or 14.7 (almost 15) psi.

So let’s say 1.5 is about half of the pressure of 2.0.

So does that mean that if I did, let's say 20 sessions at 2.0, I would have the exact same exposure or result as if I did 40 sessions at 1.5?

No. We can't say that.

Could we get closer?

Could we say that the total number of units of oxygen at that 2.0 for 20 sessions would be basically the same number unit of oxygen as it would be of 1.5?

Yes, but would that equal the exact same effect? We can't say that either.

Ultimately, we know that the higher pressure will deliver certain results, that the lower pressure is likely not to deliver.

Can we compare the two? We really can't.

We can measure the units and make a comparison to try to make an equal protocol, but we can't guarantee that those RESULTS are going to be the same and likely they won't be.

If you have low blood pressure, is it safe to do hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?

Well, it's not that somebody with low blood pressure is going to have an issue in the hyperbaric chamber.

The pressure of the chamber is ultimately not really going to affect pressure inside their circulatory system.

When they go to get out of the chamber however, they do need to get up slowly. So, have them sit up first before standing to get the blood flowing. Or, depending on your chamber style, you could possibly have them turn to their knees first before standing up as well.

If they stand straight up too quickly, it could cause them to become dizzy or possibly lightheaded and they could become a fall risk.

How long does it take to see results with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

I typically tell patients that it typically takes around 20 hours to start to see some changes. If we start seeing changes around the 15, 16, or 17 session mark, we keep pushing to keep the momentum going.

If a patient doesn’t see any changes by that 20th session, we typically re-evaluate to see if we missed something or if there is another therapy that could synergistically combine with HBOT to help get the ball rolling.

I don’t typically just keep doing the same protocol when I see that changes aren’t occurring like they should. So, don’t look at “20 sessions” as a magic number.

HBOT does work to heal the body at a cellular level so there is usually healing happening under the surface, whether we notice it or not.

However, we want you to start noticing improvements at or around this point. So, we just might need to adjust the protocol for you.

How many Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) sessions will you need to do and over what period of time to help someone heal from stroke damage?

This is a very difficult question to answer because it depends on so many factors.
Where was the stroke?

How bad of a stroke was it?

How much tissue damage was there?

How long has it been since your stroke that you're now adding HBOT into the mix?

All of this would play into what that protocol needs to look like.

I wouldn't even consider doing less than 20 hours. At 20 hours, we're first just waking up some tissue, starting a process of neuroplasticity, just beginning to get angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth and blood vessel healing).

So anything less than 20 hours shouldn’t be considered.

20-40 hours is typical in our clinic.
Central nervous system stem cells are increased after long term HBOT exposures. So, in that 20 to 40 hour range, you should start getting stem cells into the damaged area to start healing and regenerating some of that tissue damage.

In many cases well beyond 40 hours would be appropriate.

This doesn’t have to be all done at once either.

Just like with many other areas with this therapy, we're going to do blocks of therapy mixed with purposeful breaks, and those breaks allow the body to continue to heal and regenerate even though you're not actively using the therapy.

Maybe during that break, you also do some more PT and OT. Then let's rest from PT and OT, do another block of HBOT, and then go back to the exercise therapies or the brain rehab.

These protocols are quite varied based on so many factors, but I'm just trying to give you an idea of what to consider if you’re looking to add hyperbaric oxygen to part of your recovery process. It’s important to work with someone knowledgeable and experienced to help craft the right protocol for you and your unique situation.

Can HBOT help with Neurodegenerative diseases?

Regardless of what chronic degenerative neurological disease we're talking about, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has the ability to reduce inflammation.

It's been well studied to do that, including neurological inflammation.

There's an angiogenic component to HBOT.

Meaning it literally helps to heal the vasculature, the endothelial lining, and rebuilds the micro circulation where gas exchange is occurring.

We know that HBOT will increase oxygen levels where there's areas of hypoxia. We also know that it's able to stimulate stem cell mobilization.

That's not just mesenchymal stem cells inside of our body, but also central nervous system stem cells, enabling our central nervous system to heal and improve synapse connections and overall neurogenesis.

If you’re considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), one of the first questions that comes up is: how many sessions do I need, and at what pressure?
The answer depends on what you’re trying to achieve, and that’s exactly what we’re covering in this video.
This is part 3 of our HBOT 101 series. In the first two videos, we covered the science behind how hyperbaric oxygen works and the mechanisms of action behind its benefits. In this video, we’re building on that foundation by discussing the different use cases for HBOT and what type of protocol you’d want to follow to reach your specific goals.
Whether you’re a patient exploring hyperbaric oxygen for the first time or a practitioner looking to better understand how to guide your patients, this video gives you a practical overview of how to think about HBOT protocols.

In addition to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), what might we do for somebody who's fighting an infection?

Quite honestly, they vary quite a bit depending on what type of infection we're talking about.

However generally what are some other strategies?

One would be ozone therapy.

Another oxygen therapy.

But, with ozone we're utilizing the free radical component of oxygen.

In case you're not aware, your own immune system uses reactive oxygen species (ROS)as part of its strategy for fighting infection.\

So, utilizing ozone is literally delivering a reactive oxygen species.

So systemically, we're going to utilize that ozone to actually improve the power and the speed by which we're able to get rid of whatever this infection might be.

In addition to ozone, we might also use certain immune boosting IVs.

While I wholeheartedly believe that most, if not all, of our nutrition should come from our food, there's also a time and a place for IV therapy.

Mega dosing certain nutrients at certain times and bypassing the digestive system and getting it right into the bloodstream could be really important for certain people at certain times, depending on the infection.

We could also use antimicrobials, whether that's pharmaceutical antimicrobials like antibiotics or natural antimicrobials.

There are a number of natural antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal supplements out there and could certainly be used in conjunction with the IVs, with the ozone, and/or with HBOT when appropriate.

We were asked to come to San Salvador, also known as Columbus Isle, where Christopher Columbus first dropped anchor in the New World. ⚓️🌎

In 1992, Dick Rutkowski placed a hyperbaric chamber on this island — and to this day, it remains the only chamber in the Bahamas. ✨ Recently, Dr. Jason Sonners and Mitch Hall traveled there to train a new group of technicians and perform a full chamber inspection — continuing a legacy that has protected divers at this location for more than three decades. 🤿💪🏽

For over 30 years, Dick Rutkowski set the gold standard for diver safety through education, chamber access, and proper operator training. 🔥 That standard lives on through every technician trained and every chamber operated with precision and care.

In dive regions, trained chamber operators are not optional — they are essential. ‼️⚠️

The Bahamas is one of the most iconic diving destinations in the world, and access to hyperbaric support is critical wherever diving is part of the culture. Facilities serving areas like Club Med Columbus Isle play a vital role in emergency preparedness across the islands. 🏝️⚡️🇧🇸

We are incredibly proud of these newly certified operators for their discipline, professionalism, and commitment to diver safety.

And what makes this work even more meaningful — 🔥 we live it.

• Jason and Levi advancing their Deep Dive certifications 🤿
• Melissa earning her Nitrox certification 🤩
• Kaia getting her first taste underwater and counting down to making it official 💕🤞🏽🎀🤿

Diving medicine isn’t just something we teach. It’s something we practice.

If you want to learn hyperbarics from someone who understands, chamber operations, clinical hyperbaric medicine and dive medicine— we’ll see you at the next certification.

When you first enter the hyperbaric chamber, the initial hour or two can be quite productive. But there's a point of diminishing returns where extending time simply becomes more time, without added value.

It's essential to incorporate de-loading periods for optimal benefit.

In such cases, instead of planning for extended, continuous sessions like 2 or 3 hours straight, consider a more effective approach. Aim for an hour to 90 minutes in the chamber, then take a break to depressurize for 4 to 6 hours.

This allows some of the accumulated oxygen to dissipate. Afterwards, re-enter for a second session lasting another 60 to 90 minutes.

Utilizing this double session strategy, as opposed to longer, uninterrupted durations, is often more beneficial and a more effective protocol.
