Vitamin D Reduces Cancer Deaths

Research has also shown women who have a vitamin D level at or above 60 ng/mL ( 150 nmol/L ) have an 82 % lower risk of breast cancer compared to those with levels below 20 ng/mL ( 50 nmol/L ) Another meta-analysis found supplementation with vitamin D resulted in a 30 % reduction in adverse colorectal cancer outcomes .
Vitamin D also improved outcomes among patients already diagnosed with colorectal cancer The risk for metastatic cancer and death was reduced by as much as 38 % among those who also maintained a healthy weight A secondary analysis of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history of cancer who took 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day reduced their risk for metastatic cancer and death by 17 % Several recent studies demonstrate vitamin D can have a significantly beneficial impact on your cancer risk , both in terms of preventing cancer and in the treatment of cancer There ’ s good news for those of you who have taken the proactive step to make sure your vitamin D level is optimized .

There’s good news for those of you who have taken the proactive step to make sure your vitamin D level is optimized. Several recent studies demonstrate vitamin D can have a significantly beneficial impact on your cancer risk, both in terms of preventing cancer and in the treatment of cancer.
Vitamin D Reduces Cancer Mortality
In the first of these studies,1,2 which included 25,871 patients, vitamin D supplementation was found to reduce the risk for metastatic cancer and death by 17%. The risk was reduced by as much as 38% among those who also maintained a healthy weight.
This was a really poorly done study as they only gave participants 2,000 IUs a day and never measured their blood levels. Had there been no improvement, I would not have been surprised, but the fact is it still reduced metastatic cancer and death by 17%, and they found significant benefit among those who were not obese.
This is pretty extraordinary but not as good as epidemiological studies that show a 50% to even 78% reduction in vitamin D sufficient people, as suggested in a study further below. That said, UPI reported the results saying:3
“The benefits of vitamin D3 in limiting metastases — or disease spread to other organs — and severity was seen across all cancers, and was particularly prominent among study participants who maintained a healthy weight …
‘The primary message [of our study] is that vitamin D may reduce the chance of developing metastatic or fatal cancer among adults without a diagnosis of cancer,’ study co-author Dr. Paulette Chandler told UPI.”
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, is a secondary analysis of the VITAL Study4 which, in part, sought to determine whether taking 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day would reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, or stroke in people who did not have a prior history of these diseases.
The VITAL study itself, which followed patients for an average of 5.3 years, found no statistical difference in overall cancer rates among those who took vitamin D3, but there was a reduction in cancer-related deaths, which is what prompted this secondary analysis.
Obesity May Inhibit Vitamin D’s Benefits
The fact that patients with a healthy weight derived a much greater benefit — a 38% reduced risk for metastatic cancer and death compared to 17% overall — suggests your body weight may play a significant role in whether vitamin D supplementation will provide you with the anticancer benefits you seek.
Obesity may confer resistance to vitamin D effects. ~ Dr. Paulette Chandler
According to study co-author Dr. Paulette Chandler, assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, “Our study highlights that obesity may confer resistance to vitamin D effects.”5
There may be something to that. Research6 published in 2010 found that dietary fructose inhibits intestinal calcium absorption, thereby inducing vitamin D insufficiency in people with chronic kidney disease.
That said, vitamin D tends to be lower in obese people in general, for the fact that it’s a fat-soluble nutrient and when you’re obese, the vitamin D ends up being “volumetrically diluted.” As explained in the paper “Vitamin D in Obesity,” published in 2017:7
“Serum vitamin D is lower in obese people; it is important to understand the mechanism of this effect and whether it indicates clinically significant deficiency … Vitamin D is fat soluble, and distributed into fat, muscle, liver, and serum.
All of these compartments are increased in volume in obesity, so the lower vitamin D likely reflects a volumetric dilution effect and whole body stores of vitamin D may be adequate … Obese people need higher loading doses of vitamin D to achieve the same serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D as normal weight.”
While that particular paper stresses that lower vitamin D in obese individuals might not mean that they’re deficient, others disagree. For example, one study8,9 found that for every 10% increase in body-mass index, there’s a 4.2% reduction in blood levels of vitamin D. According to the authors of that particular study, obesity may in fact be a causal factor in the development of vitamin D deficiency.10
Vitamin D Also Improves Colorectal Cancer Outcomes
A scientific review11 published in the September 2020 issue of the British Journal of Cancer noted that having low vitamin D is associated with poor colorectal cancer survival.
To assess whether vitamin D supplementation might improve survival in these patients, they reviewed the findings of seven trials, three of which included patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer from the outset and four population trials that reported survival in incident cases.
Overall, the meta-analysis found supplementation resulted in a 30% reduction in adverse colorectal cancer outcomes. Vitamin D also improved outcomes among patients already diagnosed with colorectal cancer. According to the authors:12
“Meta-analysis demonstrates a clinically meaningful benefit of vitamin D supplementation on [colorectal cancer] survival outcomes. Further well-designed, adequately powered RCTs are needed to … [determine] optimal dosing.”
Low Vitamin D Linked to Increased Cancer Incidence
Another review and meta-analysis,13 this one published in November 2019 in Bioscience Reports, looked at vitamin D supplementation on cancer incidence and mortality in general. Ten randomized controlled trials with a pool of 81,362 participants were included in the analysis.
While the incidence rate of cancer was very similar between the vitamin D intervention group and the placebo control group (9.16% versus 9.29%), the risk reduction in mortality was deemed “significant.” As reported by the authors:
“The mortality rate of cancer was 2.11% (821 cases) and 2.43% (942 cases) in vitamin D intervention group and placebo group, respectively, resulting in a significant reduction in risk (RR = 0.87).
There was no observable heterogeneity or publication bias … Our findings support a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplement on lowering cancer mortality, especially in subpopulations with no history of cancer, extra use of vitamin D, or calcium supplement.”
Vitamin D Protects Against Breast Cancer
Several studies have highlighted the benefit of vitamin D for breast cancer. For example, an analysis14 by GrassrootsHealth published June 2018 in PLOS ONE showed women with a vitamin D level at or above 60 ng/mL (150 nmol/L) had an 82% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those with levels below 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L).
An earlier study,15,16 which looked at women in the U.K., found having a vitamin D level above 60 ng/mL resulted in an 83% lower breast cancer risk, which is nearly identical to GrassrootsHealth’s 2018 analysis.
One of the most recent meta-analyses17,18 looking at breast cancer was published December 28, 2019, in the journal Aging. Here, they reviewed 70 observational studies, finding that for each 2 ng/mL (5 nmol/L) increase in vitamin D level there was a corresponding 6% decrease in breast cancer incidence.
Overall, this translates into a 71% reduced risk when you increase your vitamin D level from 20 ng/mL to 60 ng/mL. The following graph, created by GrassrootsHealth,19 illustrates the dose-response between vitamin D levels and breast cancer risk found in this study.
GrassrootsHealth’s 2018 analysis in PLOS ONE also analyzed this dose relationship.20 To do that, they looked at the percentage of breast cancer-free participants in various vitamin D groups, from deficient (below 20 ng/mL) to optimal (at or above 60 ng/mL), over time (four years).
As you might expect, the higher the blood level of vitamin D, the lower the incidence of breast cancer. The graph below illustrates this dose-related protection. At four years, the percentage of women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in the 60 ng/mL group was 78% lower than among those with blood levels below 20 ng/mL.
How to Optimize Your Vitamin D Level
If you live in the northern hemisphere, which is currently heading toward winter, now is the time to check your vitamin D level and start taking action to raise it if you’re below 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L). As you can see from the studies above, a vitamin D level of 60 ng/mL (150 nmol/L) or higher is recommended if you want to protect against cancer.
An easy and cost-effective way of measuring your vitamin D level is to order GrassrootsHealth’s vitamin D testing kit. Once you know your current vitamin D level, use the GrassrootsHealth vitamin D calculator21 to determine how much vitamin D you might need to reach your target level. To optimize vitamin D absorption and utilization, be sure to take your vitamin D with vitamin K2 and magnesium.
Lastly, remember to retest in three to four months to make sure you’ve reached your target level. If you have, then you know you’re taking the correct dosage. If you’re still low (or have reached a level above 80 ng/mL), you’ll need to adjust your dosage accordingly and retest again in another three to four months.

FULL STORY
Having hope for the future could protect people from risky behaviors such as drinking and gambling — according to new research from the University of East Anglia.
Researchers studied ‘relative deprivation' — the feeling that other people have things better than you in life.
They wanted to find out why only some people experiencing this turn to escapist and risky behaviors such as drinking alcohol, taking drugs, over-eating or gambling, while others do not.
And they found that the answer lies in hope.
Postgraduate researcher Shahriar Keshavarz, from UEA's School of Psychology, said: “I think most people have experienced relative deprivation at some point in their lives. It's that feeling of being unhappy with your lot, the belief that your situation is worse than others, that other people are doing better than you.
“Roosevelt famously said that ‘comparison is the thief of joy'. It's that feeling you have when a friend buys a new car, or your sister gets married, or a colleague finds a better job or has a better income.
“Relative deprivation can trigger negative emotions like anger and resentment, and it has been associated with poor coping strategies like risk taking, drinking, taking drugs or gambling.
“But not everyone scoring high on measures of relative deprivation makes these poor life choices. We wanted to find out why some people seem to cope better, or even use the experience to their advantage to improve their own situation.
“There is a lot of evidence to show that remaining hopeful in the face of adversity can be advantageous, so we wanted to see if hope can help people feel happier with their lot and buffer against risky behaviors.”
The research team carried out two lab-based experiments with 55 volunteers. The volunteers were quizzed to find out how much they feel relative deprivation and hope.
The researchers also induced feelings of relative deprivation in the volunteers, by telling them how deprived they were compared to their peers, based on a questionnaire about their family income, age and gender.
They then took part in specially designed gambling games that involved risk-taking and placing bets with a chance to win real money.
Dr Piers Fleming, also from UEA's School of Psychology, said: “The aim of this part of the study was to see whether feeling relatively deprived — elicited by the knowledge that one has less income than similar others — causes greater risk-taking among low-hopers and decreased risk-taking among high-hopers.
“We looked at the people who scored high for relative deprivation, the ones that thought their situation in life was worse than those around them. And we looked at those who also scored high for hope.
“We found that the volunteers who scored high for hope, were much less likely to take risks in the game. Those who weren't too hopeful, were a lot more likely to take risks.”
Another experiment looked at whether hope helped people in the real world. They worked with 122 volunteers who had gambled at least once in the last year. The volunteers took part in questionnaires to gauge how hopeful they are, whether they feel relatively deprived and to measure problem gambling.
Of the participants, 33 had no gambling problems (27 per cent), 32 had low level of problems (26 per cent), 46 had moderate level of problems leading to some negative consequences (38 per cent) and 11 were problem gamblers with a possible loss of control (9 per cent).
Mr. Keshavarz said: “When we looked at these scores compared to scores for hope and relative deprivation, we found that increased hope was associated with a decreased likelihood of losing control of gambling behavior — even in those who experienced relative deprivation.
“Interestingly, our study found no significant relation between hope and gambling severity among relatively privileged persons. We don't know why this is, but it could be that they are gambling recreationally or better able to stop when the fun stops.”
The research team say that nurturing hope in people who are unhappy with their lot could protect against harmful behaviors like drinking and gambling.

The use of telomere length as a marker for aging is in itself controversial , and the study sample was small , with some suggesting the results should be interpreted with caution ; however , other experts agree HBOT can have significant benefits for longevity and chronic conditions After HBOT , telomeres at the end of chromosomes grew longer instead of shorter , at a rate of 20 % to 38 % depending on the type of cell A recent study suggests hyperbaric oxygen treatment ( HBOT ) targets two cellular hallmarks of aging — shortening of telomeres and cellular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cell ’ s ability to divide and grow — helping to reverse signs of the aging process in humans Researchers from Tel Aviv University have been exploring the benefits of exposure to high-pressure oxygen at different concentrations inside a pressure chamber for years , with studies showing such treatments improved stroke , brain injury , and brain function that was damaged by aging Hyperbaric oxygen treatment may be a practical method for slowing down the hands of time .
At its foundation , aging represents a progressive loss of physiological capacity , researchers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Center in Israel explained in the journal Aging.1 The biological deterioration leads to impaired functions and increased vulnerability to diseases , including cancer , heart disease , diabetes , Alzheimer ’ s disease , and others .
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment ( HBOT ) , the Aging study suggests , may target two cellular hallmarks of aging — shortening of telomeres and cellular senescence , or the loss of a cell ’ s ability to divide and grow — thereby reversing signs of the aging process in humans.2 The research team has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oxygen at different concentrations inside a pressure chamber for years , with studies showing such treatments improved stroke , brain injury , and brain function that was damaged by aging.3 The current study looked at hyperbaric oxygen treatment on healthy adults aged 64 and over to determine its effects on the normal aging process at a cellular level .
Thirty-five subjects were exposed to a series of 60 hyperbaric oxygen sessions over a 90-day period .
Blood samples , which were analyzed for immune cells , were collected before , during , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were found:4 • Telomeres at the end of chromosomes grew longer instead of shorter , at a rate of 20 % to 38 % depending on the type of cell • Senescent cells decreased significantly , by 11 % to 37 % depending on the cell type In a Tel Aviv University news release , study author Dr. Shai Efrati of the university ’ s Sackler School of Medicine explained : Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of each chromosome .
Sometimes compared to the plastic tip on a shoelace , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stability and preventing “ molecular contact with neighboring chromosomes.
” 5 Evidence suggests telomere length may predict morbidity and mortality , with shorter telomeres linked to an increased risk of premature death,6 but the link is controversial .
“ This uncertainty is actually due to a kaleidoscope of biological and technical factors , including preanalytical issues ( e.g.
, sample matrix ) , poor standardization of techniques used for their assessment , and dependence of telomere structure upon genetics , epigenetics , environment and behavioral attitudes , which may be present at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conditions , ” researchers wrote in the Annals of Translational Medicine.7 Still , despite the controversy , telomere shortening has been associated with a 23 % higher risk of all-cause death , along with an increased risk of certain cancers , including glioma , neuroblastoma , ovarian , endometrial , lung , kidney , bladder , skin , and testicular.8 Telomere shortening is also said to represent a “ major measurable molecular characteristic of aging of cells in vitro and in vivo , ” which may have developed as a mechanism to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hadanny , chief medical research officer of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at the Shamir Medical Center , an author of the featured study , added that lifestyle modifications and intense exercise have previously been found to slow telomere shortening , but HBOT appears to be another viable option:10 Cellular senescence is also known to play a role in cellular aging , and the accumulation of senescent cells is believed to be an integral part of the aging process , even potentially acting as a causal factor in age-related disease.11 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to interfere with cellular senescence , including eliminating senescent cells,12 and HBOT have emerged as one potential strategy .
It ’ s important to take the study ’ s limitations into account when evaluating whether HBOT is truly a fountain of youth , as the researchers imply .
It was a small study , which means the results should be replicated in a larger sample of subjects .
Also , as mentioned , the use of telomere length as a marker for aging is in itself controversial .
The study also measured telomere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which may fluctuate depending on a number of environmental conditions , such as exercise .
It ’ s a positive sign that HBOT also decreased cellular senescence in T cells , but as noted by Steve Hill , who serves on the board of directors for LEAF , a nonprofit promoting increased healthy human lifespan:13 This isn ’ t to say that HBOT isn ’ t useful , as other experts agree HBOT can have significant benefits for longevity .
One of the reasons I 'm fascinated by HBOT , in particular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improve mitochondrial function.14 However , it should be viewed as one component of healthy aging , not necessarily a magic bullet that will stop it in its tracks .
HBOT has long been used as a treatment for decompression sickness that can occur among scuba divers .
When you sit in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber , you breathe air that has two to three times greater air pressure than normal , which allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen .
This , in turn , increases the amount of oxygen in your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body , fighting pathogenic bacteria and stimulating the release of healing growth factors and stem cells.15 In my interview in the video above with Dr. Jason Sonners , a chiropractor who has worked with HBOT for over 12 years , he explains that oxygen can be viewed as a nutrient .
Your body needs it to carry out its regular functions and , when tissue is injured , it needs even more oxygen for healing.16 Most healthy individuals have somewhere between 96 % and 98 % oxygen in their hemoglobin , which means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is between 2 % and 4 % , were you to breathe medical-grade oxygen , for instance .
However , you can increase your oxygen level far beyond that if your body is under pressure .
According to Sonners : HBOT can be used to help speed healing of any inflammatory condition , and it ’ s known to facilitate wound healing and cell survival .
A small study involving 10 healthy men also revealed that a single 45-minute HBOT session reduced levels of metabolic stress-related biomarkers , including attenuating mitochondrial and oxidative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggests it may be useful for treating metabolic diseases.17 The fact that HBOT protects against mitochondrial dysfunction18 is a major benefit , considering most chronic and degenerative diseases involve mitochondrial dysfunction .
Unfortunately , conventional medicine still reserves HBOT for a limited number of conditions , such as certain brain injuries and serious wounds , as well as the following:19 In the U.S. , there are only 14 conditions for which insurance will pay for HBOT , whereas there are up to 100 approved indications for HBOT internationally , according to Sonners .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ reprehensible and inexcusable for a doctor to not treat patients with diabetic neuropathy , infections in the distal extremities , or peripheral vascular disease with HBOT , as it will in most cases prevent the need for amputation .
Other conditions that may benefit from HBOT include : HBOT is also showing promise for treating COVID-19 via a number of beneficial effects , including reversing hypoxia , reducing inflammation in the lungs , increasing viricidal reactive oxygen species , upregulating HIF-increasing host defense peptides , and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6.20 Typically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have one of the 14 approved indications .
If you ’ re interested in HBOT for other medical or longevity purposes , you ’ ll need to look into the private sector for treatment .
The International Hyperbaric Association21 ( IHA ) and Hyperbaric Medical International22 ( HMI ) are two organizations that may direct you to more local centers .
You can also learn more on HBOTusa.com , which is Sonner 's primary education website where you can find a list of treated conditions , research , the benefits of HBOT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more .

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment may be a practical method for slowing down the hands of time. At its foundation, aging represents a progressive loss of physiological capacity, researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Shamir Medical Center in Israel explained in the journal Aging.1
The biological deterioration leads to impaired functions and increased vulnerability to diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and others.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), the Aging study suggests, may target two cellular hallmarks of aging — shortening of telomeres and cellular senescence, or the loss of a cell’s ability to divide and grow — thereby reversing signs of the aging process in humans.2
Sixty Hyperbaric Oxygen Sessions Slow Down Aging
The research team has been exploring the benefits of exposure to high-pressure oxygen at different concentrations inside a pressure chamber for years, with studies showing such treatments improved stroke, brain injury, and brain function that was damaged by aging.3
The current study looked at hyperbaric oxygen treatment on healthy adults aged 64 and over to determine its effects on the normal aging process at a cellular level.
Thirty-five subjects were exposed to a series of 60 hyperbaric oxygen sessions over a 90-day period. Blood samples, which were analyzed for immune cells, were collected before, during, and after the treatments. Two exciting results were found:4
Telomeres at the end of chromosomes grew longer instead of shorter, at a rate of 20% to 38% depending on the type of cell
Senescent cells decreased significantly, by 11% to 37% depending on the cell type
In a Tel Aviv University news release, study author Dr. Shai Efrati of the university’s Sackler School of Medicine explained:
“Today telomere shortening is considered the ‘Holy Grail’ of the biology of aging. Researchers around the world are trying to develop pharmacological and environmental interventions that enable telomere elongation. Our HBOT protocol was able to achieve this, proving that the aging process can in fact be reversed at the basic cellular-molecular level.”
Telomeres and Cellular Senescence: Keys to Aging?
Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of each chromosome. Sometimes compared to the plastic tip on a shoelace, telomeres help protect DNA, preserving chromosome stability and preventing “molecular contact with neighboring chromosomes.”5
Evidence suggests telomere length may predict morbidity and mortality, with shorter telomeres linked to an increased risk of premature death,6 but the link is controversial.
“This uncertainty is actually due to a kaleidoscope of biological and technical factors, including preanalytical issues (e.g., sample matrix), poor standardization of techniques used for their assessment, and dependence of telomere structure upon genetics, epigenetics, environment and behavioral attitudes, which may be present at a variable extent in various physiological or pathological conditions,” researchers wrote in the Annals of Translational Medicine.7
Still, despite the controversy, telomere shortening has been associated with a 23% higher risk of all-cause death, along with an increased risk of certain cancers, including glioma, neuroblastoma, ovarian, endometrial, lung, kidney, bladder, skin, and testicular.8
Telomere shortening is also said to represent a “major measurable molecular characteristic of aging of cells in vitro and in vivo,” which may have developed as a mechanism to protect against tumors in long-lived species.9
Dr. Amir Hadanny, chief medical research officer of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at the Shamir Medical Center, an author of the featured study, added that lifestyle modifications and intense exercise have previously been found to slow telomere shortening, but HBOT appears to be another viable option:10
“In our study, only three months of HBOT were able to elongate telomeres at rates far beyond any currently available interventions or lifestyle modifications. With this pioneering study, we have opened a door for further research on the cellular impact of HBOT and its potential for reversing the aging process.”
Cellular senescence is also known to play a role in cellular aging, and the accumulation of senescent cells is believed to be an integral part of the aging process, even potentially acting as a causal factor in age-related disease.11
Research is underway to develop therapeutic strategies to interfere with cellular senescence, including eliminating senescent cells,12 and HBOT have emerged as one potential strategy.
Not Necessarily a Clear-Cut Fountain of Youth
It’s important to take the study’s limitations into account when evaluating whether HBOT is truly a fountain of youth, as the researchers imply. It was a small study, which means the results should be replicated in a larger sample of subjects.
Also, as mentioned, the use of telomere length as a marker for aging is in itself controversial. The study also measured telomere length on immune cells called T cells, which may fluctuate depending on a number of environmental conditions, such as exercise.
It’s a positive sign that HBOT also decreased cellular senescence in T cells, but as noted by Steve Hill, who serves on the board of directors for LEAF, a nonprofit promoting increased healthy human lifespan:13
“The problem with interpreting these results as rejuvenation or age reversal is that T cells are a poor choice of cell type to use for this kind of thing due to their highly dynamic nature. Unfortunately, they are a popular cell type to use in these sorts of studies, due to the ease of collection from the bloodstream.
These particular immune cells can have large variance in their telomere length based on the demand for cellular replication at that particular time.
T cell populations replicate rapidly in the face of pathogens, and with each replication, the telomeres shorten, meaning that telomere lengths can vary in these cell populations from day to day. Infection and other environmental factors can play a key role in the status of T cell telomeres, and this is why they are not overly useful as aging biomarkers.”
This isn’t to say that HBOT isn’t useful, as other experts agree HBOT can have significant benefits for longevity. One of the reasons I'm fascinated by HBOT, in particular, is because of its ability to improve mitochondrial function.14 However, it should be viewed as one component of healthy aging, not necessarily a magic bullet that will stop it in its tracks.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?
HBOT has long been used as a treatment for decompression sickness that can occur among scuba divers. When you sit in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, you breathe air that has two to three times greater air pressure than normal, which allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen.
This, in turn, increases the amount of oxygen in your blood, which is transported throughout your body, fighting pathogenic bacteria and stimulating the release of healing growth factors and stem cells.15
In my interview in the video above with Dr. Jason Sonners, a chiropractor who has worked with HBOT for over 12 years, he explains that oxygen can be viewed as a nutrient. Your body needs it to carry out its regular functions and, when tissue is injured, it needs even more oxygen for healing.16
Most healthy individuals have somewhere between 96% and 98% oxygen in their hemoglobin, which means your capacity to increase your oxygen level is between 2% and 4%, were you to breathe medical-grade oxygen, for instance. However, you can increase your oxygen level far beyond that if your body is under pressure. According to Sonners:
“Two main laws govern how that works: Boyle's Law and Henry's Law. Basically, as you take a gas and exert pressure on it, you make the size of that gas take up less space. As a result of that pressure, you can then dissolve that gas into a liquid.
An easy example is a can of seltzer. They're using carbon dioxide and water. But basically, you can pressurize that can, so you can put carbon dioxide into that can. As a result of that pressurization, you can dissolve molecules of carbon dioxide into the water.
In the hyperbaric version of that, we're using oxygen, and the can is the chamber. But as a result of dumping excess oxygen inside that chamber, you can dissolve that into the liquid of your body … directly into the tissue and the plasma of your blood.
The oxygen in your blood is carried by hemoglobin. The plasma that carries your red blood cells that holds the hemoglobin normally does not carry oxygen. We rely wholly on red blood cell oxygen-carrying capacity. But inside the chamber, you could literally bypass the red blood cell oxygen-carrying capacity altogether, and you can absorb oxygen directly into the plasma and tissue of the body.”
HBOT Fights Mitochondrial and Oxidative Stresses, COVID-19
HBOT can be used to help speed healing of any inflammatory condition, and it’s known to facilitate wound healing and cell survival.
A small study involving 10 healthy men also revealed that a single 45-minute HBOT session reduced levels of metabolic stress-related biomarkers, including attenuating mitochondrial and oxidative stresses and relieving metabolic burdens, which suggests it may be useful for treating metabolic diseases.17
The fact that HBOT protects against mitochondrial dysfunction18 is a major benefit, considering most chronic and degenerative diseases involve mitochondrial dysfunction. Unfortunately, conventional medicine still reserves HBOT for a limited number of conditions, such as certain brain injuries and serious wounds, as well as the following:19
Severe anemia Brain abscess Bubbles of air in your blood vessels Burns Carbon monoxide poisoning Crushing injury Deafness, sudden Decompression sickness Gangrene Infection of skin or bone that causes tissue death Nonhealing wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcer Radiation injury Skin graft at risk of tissue death Traumatic brain injury Vision loss, sudden
In the U.S., there are only 14 conditions for which insurance will pay for HBOT, whereas there are up to 100 approved indications for HBOT internationally, according to Sonners.
From my perspective, it's medically reprehensible and inexcusable for a doctor to not treat patients with diabetic neuropathy, infections in the distal extremities, or peripheral vascular disease with HBOT, as it will in most cases prevent the need for amputation. Other conditions that may benefit from HBOT include:
All autoimmune conditions Neurological conditions, including concussion, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and post-stroke Musculoskeletal injuries, including broken bones, disk herniations, and torn muscles and tendons Any condition involving mitochondrial dysfunction Any condition involving damaged microcirculation or that can benefit from capillary growth Chronic infections such as Lyme disease, and subacute infections that cause damage over time Cancer co-management — As noted by Sonners, researchers are looking at HBOT in cancer treatments in a number of different ways. For example, doing it may allow you to use less radiation or chemo and still get the same outcome. Or, it may allow the patient to tolerate higher amounts of radiation by speeding the healing between sessions. A third avenue of investigation is the use of HBOT in isolation.
HBOT is also showing promise for treating COVID-19 via a number of beneficial effects, including reversing hypoxia, reducing inflammation in the lungs, increasing viricidal reactive oxygen species, upregulating HIF-increasing host defense peptides, and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6.20
Typically, hospitals will only provide HBOT if you have one of the 14 approved indications. If you’re interested in HBOT for other medical or longevity purposes, you’ll need to look into the private sector for treatment. The International Hyperbaric Association21 (IHA) and Hyperbaric Medical International22 (HMI) are two organizations that may direct you to more local centers.
You can also learn more on HBOTusa.com, which is Sonner's primary education website where you can find a list of treated conditions, research, the benefits of HBOT in athletics, testimonials, and much more.

The report says that “it's at around this price point where automakers should be able to produce and sell mass-market EVs at the same price as internal combustion vehicles in some markets.”

New technologies and falling manufacturing costs, it predicts, could drive prices down even lower.
There’s also the chance that next-generation solid-state batteries “could be manufactured at 40% of the cost of current lithium-ion batteries,” according to the report, “when produced at scale.”
The report further predicts that the average prices of battery packs could become as cheap as just $58 per kWh by 2030 if these new solid-state batteries were to be utilized resulted from lower manufacturing cost.

consciouslifenews--2020-12-24--COVID-19 Vaccination May Be Difficult to Avoid

To boost vaccine uptake , companies are also encouraged to make COVID-19 vaccination a condition of employment .
Yet another trick used is an entirely semantic one .
By renaming adverse reactions as “ immune responses , ” they hope people will be less likely to be concerned if they get sick from the shot The maximum CICP payout is $ 250,000 per person ; however , you ’ d have to exhaust your private insurance policy first .
CICP will only pay the difference between what your insurance covers and the total CICP payout amount established for your case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine , you can not sue any of the parties involved in getting the vaccine to you .
Within one year of vaccination , you would have to file a claim with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program ( CICP ) , run by the Department of Health and Human Services , which is also sponsoring the COVID-19 vaccination program As a result , we ’ re now seeing all sorts of tricks being employed to increase vaccine uptake : among them , a proposal to pay each vaccine recipient $ 1,500 .
Others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 1,000 pandemic stimulus payment incumbent on COVID-19 vaccination According to a November 17 , 2020 , Gallup poll , 58 % of Americans now say they ’ re willing to take the vaccine .
However , a recent Lancet paper estimates 75 % to 90 % must take the vaccine in order to achieve “ herd immunity ” While there ’ s considerable resistance against mandatory COVID-19 vaccination , it appears avoiding it will be more than a little difficult for most .
As detailed in “ Global Vaccine Passport Will Be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Project , the World Economic Forum , and The Rockefeller Foundation have joined forces to create the CommonPass,1 a digital “ health passport ” framework expected to be adopted by most if not all nations .
The CommonPass will eventually be integrated with personal health apps such as Apple Health and CommonHealth , and if you want to travel , your personal health record will be evaluated and compared to a country ’ s entry requirements .
If you don ’ t meet them , you ’ ll be directed to an approved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for CommonPass was laid out in an April 21 , 2020 , white paper2 by The Rockefeller Foundation , and based on this paper , it ’ s clear that proof of vaccination is part of permanent surveillance and social control structure — one that severely limits personal liberty and freedom of choice across the board .
There ’ s absolutely no indication that proof of vaccination status will become obsolete once the COVID-19 pandemic is declared over , and the reason for this is because the pandemic is being used as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will usher in a new system of technocracy that relies on digital surveillance and social engineering to control the population .
Proof of vaccination allows for the rollout of a highly invasive form of tracking that will undoubtedly expand with time .
They have a significant problem , however , and that is how to get a majority of the global population to agree to this novel , fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine .
According to a November 17 , 2020 , Gallup Poll,3 58 % of Americans now say they ’ re willing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that percentage was only 50 % .
Still , 58 % is unlikely to satisfy the technocrats ' hell-bent on global control of resources and people .
Typically , a much larger percentage of the population — probably between 75 % and 90 % , according to a November 2020 Lancet paper4 — would need to be vaccinated in order to achieve what is wrongfully described as herd immunity ( a concept that only applies to natural infection , not vaccination ) .
As a result , we ’ re now seeing all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine uptake : among them , a proposal to pay each vaccine recipient $ 1,500.5 The suggestion was raised by U.S. Representative John Delaney .
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and economic adviser N. Gregory Mankiw have made similar propositions , suggesting the government make a $ 1,000 pandemic stimulus payment incumbent on COVID-19 vaccination.7,8 If this sounds unfair to you , you ’ re not alone .
I ’ m sure there are many out there who are struggling to survive right now and could use that stimulus check , yet aren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with their long-term health to get it .
As explained by Dr. Meryl Nass in a December 4 , 2020 , blog post:9 CICP Payments Are Insignificant and Hard to Get As noted by Nass , the CICP is administered within the Department of Health and Human Services ( DHHS ) , which is also sponsoring the COVID-19 vaccination program .
This conflict of interest makes the CICP less than likely to find fault with the vaccine .
Your only route of appeal is within the DHHS , where your case would simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DHHS is also responsible for making the payment .
“ DHHS therefore essentially acts as the judge , jury , and defendant , ” Nass writes.10 While the NVICP pays some of the costs associated with any given claim , the CICP does not .
This means you ’ ll also be responsible for attorney fees and expert witness fees , for example .
According to the CICP director , the maximum payout you can receive — even in cases of permanent disability or death — is $ 250,000 per person ; however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your private insurance policy before the CICP gives you a dime .
CICP will only pay the difference between what your insurance covers and the total payout amount established for your case .
For permanent disability , even $ 250,000 won ’ t go far , let alone a one-time payment of $ 1,000 or $ 1,500 .
The CICP also has a one-year statute of limitations , so you have to be quick .
Of course , a significant problem with the COVID-19 vaccine is that no one really knows what injuries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tying the injury to the vaccination a difficult prospect .
For all of these reasons , I agree with Nass when she says:11 To boost vaccine uptake , companies are also encouraged to make COVID-19 vaccination a condition of employment .
Rogge Dunn , a labor and employment attorney in Dallas , Texas , told CNBC that “ Under the law , an employer can force an employee to get vaccinated , and if they don ’ t , fire them.
” 12 For years , I and others have warned that unless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even if and when it doesn ’ t affect you personally , eventually it will indeed affect you and it ’ ll be too late to do anything about it .
We ’ re now at that point .
This affects everyone , not just teachers and health care workers .
It affects all ages .
Any company can implement compulsory COVID-19 vaccination .
No one is automatically excluded .
Anyone could soon have to face the choice of vaccination or unemployment .
According to CNBC,13 anti-discrimination laws might enable some employees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not count on it .
Union workers may also have enough clout to prevent a mandate , provided the union is willing to take a stand against it .
Dunn claims some of his corporate clients are already considering mandatory vaccination , including restaurant owners .
Keep in mind that if your employer mandates the vaccine , they will not be liable for side effects .
According to the experts CNBC spoke to , “ claims would be routed through worker ’ s compensation programs and treated as an on-the-job injury.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some companies are baiting staff to get voluntarily vaccinated by promising vaccinated employees will be able to forgo temperature checks and/or other PPE requirements .
Others are considering giving out cash bonuses to those who get vaccinated .
Yet another trick used to reduce vaccine hesitancy is an entirely semantic one .
By renaming adverse reactions and referring to them as “ immune responses ” instead , they hope people will be less likely to be concerned if they end up feeling horrible after the shot .
A December 1 , 2020 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of adverse reactions , noted that 10 % to 15 % of participants in the Pfizer and Moderna trials reported “ significantly noticeable ” side effects .
Buried way down at the bottom of the article is a suggestion from a past advisory committee member , who proposes the nomenclature of “ serious adverse reaction ” be changed to “ immune response , ” so they can reprogram how people think about these side effects , even if they end up having to stay home from work because of them .
Dr. Eli @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and epidemiology at the University of Iowa Health Care , has suggested essential workers should be granted three days of paid leave after they ’ re vaccinated , as many will feel too sick to work.15 Even the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that the vaccine ’ s side effects are “ no walk in the park.
” 16 No Vaccine , No Entry — How Far Can It Go ?
In related news , Canadians who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine should be prepared to comply with a mandatory mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability to move about society , according to Ontario ’ s chief medical officer , Dr. David Williams .
As reported by Summit News December 4 , 2020:17 Indeed , if vaccination is a condition both for employment and enjoyment , just how voluntary is it ?
The tactic of restricting personal freedom to coerce people into getting vaccinated is no different from a vaccine mandate that has no exceptions .
It ’ s blackmail , pure and simple , and it will disproportionally affect the middle and lower classes who can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ length of time and can ’ t pay for the care that might be needed should something go wrong .
Overall , this kind of coercion is a disaster in the making , and it ’ s particularly egregious considering SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a minuscule risk to the vast majority of the population , as detailed in “ The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetuated on an Unsuspecting Public.

“The faster we get 75% of this country vaccinated, the faster we end COVID and the sooner everything returns to normal,” Delaney told Alabama news site AL.com.6 “We have to create, in my judgment, an incentive for people to really accelerate their thinking about taking the vaccine.
If you’re still afraid of the vaccine and don’t want to take it, that’s your right. You won’t participate in this program. But guess what? You’re going to benefit anyhow, because we’ll get the country to herd immunity faster, which benefits you. So I think everyone wins.”
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and economic adviser N. Gregory Mankiw have made similar propositions, suggesting the government make a $1,000 pandemic stimulus payment incumbent on COVID-19 vaccination.7,8
Is Risking Your Health Worth $1,500?
If this sounds unfair to you, you’re not alone. I’m sure there are many out there who are struggling to survive right now and could use that stimulus check, yet aren’t keen on playing Russian roulette with their long-term health to get it. As explained by Dr. Meryl Nass in a December 4, 2020, blog post:9
“If you are injured by a vaccine or other ‘countermeasure’ designated by the DHHS Secretary as intended for a pandemic or bioterrorism threat (COVID-19, pandemic flu, anthrax, smallpox) your options for receiving any financial benefit are very limited.
First, everyone involved with getting the vaccine to you has had their liability waived under the PREP Act … Congress did create a program to compensate some victims, but it is much less generous than the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). (And no one ever accused the NVICP of being generous.) It is called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).”
CICP Payments Are Insignificant and Hard to Get
As noted by Nass, the CICP is administered within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which is also sponsoring the COVID-19 vaccination program. This conflict of interest makes the CICP less than likely to find fault with the vaccine.
Your only route of appeal is within the DHHS, where your case would simply be reviewed by another employee. The DHHS is also responsible for making the payment. “DHHS therefore essentially acts as the judge, jury, and defendant,” Nass writes.10
While the NVICP pays some of the costs associated with any given claim, the CICP does not. This means you’ll also be responsible for attorney fees and expert witness fees, for example.
According to the CICP director, the maximum payout you can receive — even in cases of permanent disability or death — is $250,000 per person; however, you’d have to exhaust your private insurance policy before the CICP gives you a dime. CICP will only pay the difference between what your insurance covers and the total payout amount established for your case.
For permanent disability, even $250,000 won’t go far, let alone a one-time payment of $1,000 or $1,500. The CICP also has a one-year statute of limitations, so you have to be quick. Of course, a significant problem with the COVID-19 vaccine is that no one really knows what injuries might arise, or when, making tying the injury to the vaccination a difficult prospect. For all of these reasons, I agree with Nass when she says:11
“If you become injured after receiving a designated ‘countermeasure’ vaccine, do not anticipate that you will get help from the government nor from the manufacturers. Please inform yourself of the benefits and risks beforehand.”
Compulsory Vaccination as a Condition of Employment
To boost vaccine uptake, companies are also encouraged to make COVID-19 vaccination a condition of employment. Rogge Dunn, a labor and employment attorney in Dallas, Texas, told CNBC that “Under the law, an employer can force an employee to get vaccinated, and if they don’t, fire them.”12
For years, I and others have warned that unless you get involved in protecting vaccine choice, even if and when it doesn’t affect you personally, eventually it will indeed affect you and it’ll be too late to do anything about it.
We’re now at that point. This affects everyone, not just teachers and health care workers. It affects all ages. Any company can implement compulsory COVID-19 vaccination. No one is automatically excluded. Anyone could soon have to face the choice of vaccination or unemployment.
According to CNBC,13 anti-discrimination laws might enable some employees to get an exemption, but I would not count on it. Union workers may also have enough clout to prevent a mandate, provided the union is willing to take a stand against it. Dunn claims some of his corporate clients are already considering mandatory vaccination, including restaurant owners.
“They think it gives them a competitive advantage. They could say to their customers, ‘Hey, our restaurant is safe. All of our employees have been vaccinated,’” Dunn said.
Keep in mind that if your employer mandates the vaccine, they will not be liable for side effects. According to the experts CNBC spoke to, “claims would be routed through worker’s compensation programs and treated as an on-the-job injury.”
In the absence of a mandate, some companies are baiting staff to get voluntarily vaccinated by promising vaccinated employees will be able to forgo temperature checks and/or other PPE requirements. Others are considering giving out cash bonuses to those who get vaccinated.
Reducing Vaccine Hesitancy by Relabeling Side Effects
Yet another trick used to reduce vaccine hesitancy is an entirely semantic one. By renaming adverse reactions and referring to them as “immune responses” instead, they hope people will be less likely to be concerned if they end up feeling horrible after the shot.
A December 1, 2020, CNBC article,14 which looked at the frequency of adverse reactions, noted that 10% to 15% of participants in the Pfizer and Moderna trials reported “significantly noticeable” side effects.
Buried way down at the bottom of the article is a suggestion from a past advisory committee member, who proposes the nomenclature of “serious adverse reaction” be changed to “immune response,” so they can reprogram how people think about these side effects, even if they end up having to stay home from work because of them.
Dr. Eli Perencevich, a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa Health Care, has suggested essential workers should be granted three days of paid leave after they’re vaccinated, as many will feel too sick to work.15 Even the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that the vaccine’s side effects are “no walk in the park.”16
No Vaccine, No Entry — How Far Can It Go?
In related news, Canadians who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine should be prepared to comply with a mandatory mask rule and to be restricted in their ability to move about society, according to Ontario’s chief medical officer, Dr. David Williams. As reported by Summit News December 4, 2020:17
“Williams acknowledged that ‘we can’t force someone to take a vaccine,’ but [went] on to explain how people who didn’t take it would have their freedom of mobility severely restricted …
‘What may be mandatory is proof of … vaccination in order to have latitude and freedom to move around … without wearing other types of personal protective equipment’ … As we previously highlighted, governments do not have to make the vaccine mandatory, they can simply make life unlivable for people who refuse to take the vaccine.
If bars, restaurants, cinemas, sports venues, airlines, employers and others all make the vaccination a mandatory condition of service, anyone who refuses to take it will be reduced to a personal form of de facto lockdown with their social lives and mobility completely stunted.”
Indeed, if vaccination is a condition both for employment and enjoyment, just how voluntary is it? The tactic of restricting personal freedom to coerce people into getting vaccinated is no different from a vaccine mandate that has no exceptions.
It’s blackmail, pure and simple, and it will disproportionally affect the middle and lower classes who can’t afford to remain unemployed for any length of time and can’t pay for the care that might be needed should something go wrong.
Overall, this kind of coercion is a disaster in the making, and it’s particularly egregious considering SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a minuscule risk to the vast majority of the population, as detailed in “The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetuated on an Unsuspecting Public.”
What Can You Do?
If this information in this article concerns you, as I believe it should, then I would strongly encourage you to consider joining the NVIC vaccine portal.
This is a large number of dedicated individuals that you can connect with within your local community to make a difference with your local legislature. It is the best shot you have to make a difference in preventing these draconian tyrannical short-sighted mandates that will inevitably devastate the health of many and take many other lives prematurely.
One of the Most Powerful Videos I've Ever Seen
The following video from Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. I am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to take up the cause and join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.
There are a cultural war and collusion between many industries and federal regulatory agencies that result in a suppression of the truth about vital important health issues. If this suppression continues we will gradually and progressively erode our private individual rights that our ancestors fought so hard to achieve. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.
Protect Your Right to Informed Consent and Defend Vaccine Exemptions
With all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it's critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent protections in-state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educate the leaders in your community.
Think Globally, Act Locally
National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations, and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.
Signing up for NVIC's free Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org gives you immediate, easy access to your own state legislators on your smartphone or computer so you can make your voice heard. You will be kept up to date on the latest state bills threatening your vaccine choice rights and will get practical, useful information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community.
Also, when national vaccine issues come up, you will have the up-to-date information and call-to-action items you need at your fingertips. So, please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

Share Your Story With the Media and People You Know
If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury, or death, please talk about it. If we don't share information and experiences with one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in your local newspaper. Make a call into a radio talk show that is presenting only one side of the vaccine story.
I must be frank with you: You have to be brave because you might be strongly criticized for daring to talk about the “other side” of the vaccine story. Be prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination will the public conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about it.
We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination.
The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing more than “statistically acceptable collateral damage” of national one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for injury and death. We shouldn't be treating people like guinea pigs instead of human beings.
