coming up next on the Passion Struck podcast.
My whole clinical practice is how can I optimize people the whole way through?
And I use that foundational testing piece, the health optimization medicine piece.
I use the hyperbaric piece, which is a fantastic synergizer accelerator.
And then I use other things along the way, whether it be supplements,
diet to very specific goals that people have.
I use Neutropics. I use lots of other things that you can kind of throw in there, which are brain enhancing supplements. I use athletic enhancing stuff. I do,
depending on the person that I'm working with, you have to personalize it to them. But for me,
the foundation is always the framework of looking at that cellular foundation using health optimization
medicine. On top of that, I will use hyperbaric therapy as my synergizer accelerator. And then in addition,
I will use various techniques and practices that are very focused on these on-of-patients,
goals, whatever they may be.
Welcome to PassionStruck. Hi, I'm your host, John Armiles. And on the show, we decipher the secrets,
tips, and guidance of the world's most inspiring people and turn their wisdom into practical advice for you and those around
you. Our mission is to help you unlock the power of intentionality so that you can become
the best version of yourself. If you're new to the show, I offer advice and answer listener
questions on Fridays. We have long-form interviews the rest of the week with guest ranging from astronauts to authors, CEOs, creators,
innovators, scientists, military leaders, visionaries and athletes.
Now let's go out there and become PassionStruck.
Hello everyone and welcome back to episode 147 of PassionStruck.
Recently ranked as one of the top 50 most inspirational podcasts in the world.
Thank you to each and every one of you who comes back weekly to listen and learn,
had a live better, be better, and impact the world. In case you missed some of our past episodes
earlier in the week, we head on Dr. Michael Slepian and discuss his new book, The Secret Life of Secrets.
Last week, I interviewed Trisha Manning
on the importance of intentional leadership
through the lens of her book,
leading with heart and leaving a legacy.
I also interviewed Dr. Sarah Faye
about her new book, Pathological,
The True Story of Six Misdiagnosis.
My solo episode from last week was on the importance
of microchoises and how they impact
not only our daily life, but the long-term plans that we have, please check them all out.
And I wanted to thank you so much for your continued support and all your five star ratings and
reviews. I know both the guests as well as we love to read those reviews. And if you truly love any of these episodes,
would you please forward them to friends or family members? It means so much to us to help build up
this passion-star community. Now, let's talk about today's guest. Dr. Scott Sherr is an
internal medicine doctor, certified in hyperbaric oxygeny, also known as HBOT, and Health Optimization Medicine,
also known as HOMI.
Dr. Scott is the founder of Integrative HBOT and is one of the few providers in the world
who uses an integrative approach to HBOT.
This approach includes cutting edge and dynamic HBOT protocols, comprehensive laboratory
testing, targeted supplementation, personal practices,
and synergistic technologies.
Dr. Shur's clients include high-level athletes,
Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, weekend warriors,
hoaters, tons of biohackers, gamers, and many others.
In our interview, we start out by talking about
why he became a doctor and how in his third year of residency, he discovered hyperbonic chambers hidden in the basements of hospitals.
Why this has become his life's work and how he balances practicing internal medicine with
alternative modalities, focused on help for recovery, inflammation, peak performance,
and neurodegenerative recovery. We discuss in detail, H-Bots use for both acute brain injury care, as well as those who
are suffering from post-concussion syndrome.
Lastly, Dr. Sher explains how H-Bots can help with peak performance and the cutting-edge
use of new tropics.
All that and so much more.
Thank you for choosing Passion Struck and choosing me
to be your hosting guide on your journey to creating an intentional life. Now, let that journey begin.
I am so excited today to have Dr. Scott Schur on the Passion Struck podcast. Dr. Scott, welcome.
Thanks for having me, John. Nice to be here.
I'm actually ecstatic to have you on the show.
And we'll get to that in a little bit.
It happens to do with a movie that you were in,
called Quiet Explosions, but we'll talk more about that later in the episode.
But I guess where I wanted to start is you and my girlfriend actually have something in common and that is both of your parents for chiropractors and both of you went into the medical field and she today is a nurse practitioner, but a lot of the alternative approaches to medicine that she learned from her father really influenced the way that she practices and who she is today. So I thought maybe a great thing to do would be to go through your journey of one, why did you become a doctor, how did having a father as a chiropractor influence you, and then we can go into how it led you to where you are today. that story and my father and that perspective. It's pretty cool that your girlfriends
did the same thing or had a carapactor
and went into sort of the medical profession.
It's not that common actually.
A lot of caropractors, sons and daughters
will go and be caropractors or alternate practitioners.
And for me, I think I grew up in his office.
I grew up in my father's office.
I grew up there as a kid, getting adjusted,
seeing patients that he would see,
just hanging out in the waiting room.
And then I worked at front desk
and it would collect money when he was in practice
and I was older and I was in high school
and I wanted to some extra cash
so I could go out with my friends.
And I always enjoyed the way he worked with people
and how holistic it was.
But I also felt and he even would reflect this back to me
that he was limited as a carer-practor as what he could he even would reflect this back to me that he
was limited as a carer-practor as what he could do. He couldn't do various things
that he wanted to do because he didn't have a medical license. He didn't have the
ability to write prescriptions for example. And so I decided I think around 18 maybe a
little bit older than that. I went to UCLA for undergrad that I wanted to do more
than medical route. And the idea was well maybe I can find a way to bridge the chasm between the alternative world, the sort of OG functional medicine world of caropractic.
It really were the first functional medicine kind of doctors. And then bridge that chasm
to the conventional world and learn all about that and see where I can kind of bring it all
together. And I don't really know how that was all going to play out. I went to medical
school and like a lot of people,
when you go to medical school,
you get sort of like tantalized with all these professions
or these specialties that make tons of money,
be a dermatologist to make $700,000 a year.
It could be a radiologist and be in a dark room,
looking at images the rest of your life
and make $800,000 a year.
A lot of money, it sounded like a lot of money to me
and it was a lot of money, obviously that is still now.
A lot of money. But I always try to remember what I was doing this for.
And interestingly enough, I was in a trauma center my third year of medical school in a
place called Shock Trauma at the University of Maryland in Baltimore where I trained.
And the trauma center had a huge hyperburet facility in the basement. They were using it for
soft tissue injury, traumatic wounds for burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, necker-tizing faciitis, which is a type
of flesh eating bacteria. And first of all, I had no idea what it was initially, but what I did see
was that I had some of my patients that we were seeing, like that came into the trauma center,
go down and into the chamber and come back dramatically better from all these different
various things. And when I realized after talking some of the texts that it was just oxygen and pressure,
combined to drive more oxygen into circulation, and all these amazing things were happening,
I was, I took a step back even though I was really tired because we were working every three nights
for 30 hours shifts at the time. So this is like called Q3 for those who care. And you were on Q3
calls every three nights,
you were at the hospital for 30 hours, you'd go home, and then you'd sleep. And then the
next day, you'd repeat the cycle every three. And then it did this only for for two weeks.
But more commonly it was Q4 when you're in residency. So every fourth night, you were up
for 30 hours. They've changed all those rules since I was in residency. Actually, now
they don't allow that anymore. I was reflecting back to myself, like this is just oxygen and pressure. This is not that difficult to understand. And it's extremely powerful
what we're seeing in the acute setting. What else is out there? What else has been done
in this field? And so then when I had time, I started doing research and understanding
that this is a foundational technology. We're just increasing the amount of oxygen and circulation
allowing just the accelerated ability for healing, recovery,
optimization, both in the acute setting, but also like long-term with people that have injuries,
actually regenerating the architecture of tissue, revitalizing the architecture of tissue,
and doing it with this shift in epigenetics and the way that the genes are being transcribed by
the DNA as a result of being in the chamber. So that got me really excited about what I could do
going forward in the field. And it took me a little while to get there, but when I came out to
California in 2013, I became a medical director of a hyperburet facility in downtown San Francisco.
And that's what I got my really on the ground training. And then it was from there that I really
gravitated towards more of a, let's call it an integrative
approach to hyperbereic therapy where it wasn't just about getting into the chamber.
It was about what are you doing before, during, and after?
How are you optimizing in all these levels to make sure that the chambers were doing the
best that they could to get to you where you wanted to go?
So is it okay for me to think in the sense of HBOT is kind of like high altitude training
in some ways?
Well, it's the exact opposite, but it has similar ideas in the sense that if you're high
altitude training, you're getting less oxygen in circulation.
In a hyperburet environment, you're getting more oxygen in circulation.
They're both causing stresses on the system.
That is for sure, but they're causing different types of stresses on the system.
So the alpha-2 trainings very much commonly used for people that are doing a lead athlete,
kind of sports, and those kinds of things because of what it does, is it increases your body's
oxygen-carrying capacity.
And it does that by stimulating the production of something called epigen or EPO for short.
EPO is a hormone that when produced, increases the number of red blood cells in circulation.
And we carry oxygen on red blood cells typically to get from our lungs where we,
where we take a deep breath, the oxygen comes in and it goes through the rest of our body
to all of our tissues, then it becomes what's called the final electron acceptor
in your mitochondria making energy ATP. Okay.
So typically we make our oxygen carrying capacity is preordained by how many
rib blood cells you have in circulation. So you can increase the number of those by altitude
training, for example, in increasing the amount of Epo that you're producing. You can also inject Epo.
This is what cyclists like Lance Armstrong and others did to increase their rib blood cell mass,
their number of red blood cells.
But in a hyperburetic environment, actually, we're increasing your oxygen carrying capacity
by actually diffusing or infusing oxygen directly into the liquid or the plasma of your blood
stream.
Because you only have a certain amount of oxygen carrying capacity of your red blood
cells, because you have a certain amount of hemoglobin on each of those red blood cells
that carries oxygen.
Simply, you have just a number of red blood cells.
Not so much oxygen you usually can carry.
But if you go into a hyperburet environment under pressure,
that pressure actually drives more oxygen in circulation.
So you can get up to 1200% more oxygen in circulation
in compared to what you can do at sea level.
And that's a huge amount more oxygen
that does a lot of different things,
almost immediately when it gets into the body.
And red blood cells only have a certain amount that it can carry, right?
So you have all the amount that's being carried by the red blood cell, you have all the
extra that's being carried in the plasma.
So it could be what happens is you have an acute infusion of all that oxygen.
So if you have any tissue that's at risk of dying, if you've had a traumatic brain injury,
if you've had a stroke, if you've had a cardiac event, if you've had a spinal cord injury, if you've had a partial limbion mutation, and
you have tissue that's at risk of dying, if you can get a lot of oxygen in circulation,
it's going to get more oxygen into tissue.
It's like diffusion of water or osmosis.
It's basically the more oxygen you get in a blood vessel, the more that's going to diffuse
out of that blood vessel and get further into tissue.
So, that's extremely important in acute trauma or in acute infection or in a lot of acute situations.
There's also a massive decrease in inflammation, decrease in swelling. There's also both actually
lymphatic flow out and venous flow out of tissue. And there's also a massive release of stem cells as
well. So all these stem cells are these baby cells in our body that get released from various
areas and go to the areas where there's injury, where there's inflammation, where there's
infection, all these kinds of things. We're also revving up the immune system. So there's
all these immediate things that are happening with all that extra oxygen in circulation.
So it is a profound shift in your physiology. And as a result of that, you get that acute
phase of things that I just described. Also, it also can combat infection, especially infections that do not like high oxygen environments.
And at the same time, all that oxygen is creating a stimulus where your body has this shift
in its DNA and expression that starts giving you these benefits of a longer oxygen infusion
hyperburet protocol where you're seeing the scaffolding, the rebuilding of architecture, the new blood vessels,
the tissue that starts getting mature like new cartilage, new bone, new neurons, new heart cells,
all that stuff, inflammatory markers going down, all these kinds of things. So it's a regenerative
technology. It's regenerative capacity that just gets hugely accelerated and it's being used in
so many different types of contexts. I want to break down some of this into a little bit more granular level.
I heard you say that you can get up to 1200 percent more oxygen.
And my understanding is that there are two different types.
There's a soft version of this and a hard shell version. Is that correct?
Types of chambers, yes, correct.
And what's the difference between the two chambers?
So most of the soft sided chambers go to mild or pressure.
That means pressure that is less than you would get
in a hard or a medical grade chamber.
So we didn't talk a lot about pressure,
but when we do in a hyperbaric chamber,
as we simulate a certain amount of sea water pressure,
we know that water is extremely heavy.
You pick up a bucket of water, it's heavy.
You're swimming in the ocean underneath the water.
You don't feel that heaviness because you're weightless underneath the water.
But there's a lot of pressure on your body depending on how deep you go.
So, the deeper you are underneath the ocean, for example, the more pressure that is above
you, all that water above you, in a hyperburetic environment, we're simulating that pressure. You don't feel like you're underwater. You
just feel like an air pressure type of change if you've ever scuba dive before. John, you
know what I mean? It's like that, that, that pressure change that you feel. And so the milder
units go to about 10 or 15 feet of sea water equivalent. And that's between 1.3 and 1.4
atmospheres and our hyperbary lingo.
Everything comes from diving and hyperbary therapy
because hyperbary therapy was invented
to actually reverse the bends or decompression illness
that was happening to Navy divers, bridge builders,
and others back in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
And so that's how it got started.
And so all the terminology is based on water for the most part.
So a mild unit typically goes to between 1.3 and 1.5.
And a medical grade unit typically will go between 2.4, 3.0,
or even deeper pressures.
So some interesting kind of points to pick out here.
At three atmospheres of pressure, which
is the equivalent of 66 feet of sea water,
so 66 feet below the sea, we can saturate
so much oxygen in the circulation that you don't need any red blood cells to maintain your
physiologic function.
So that's how much oxygen you can actually saturate without having any red blood cells that would
typically carry oxygen.
So this is used in trauma settings for people that have had acute hemorrhage, acute blood
loss because of trauma, for example, you can temporize them in a hyperbereic environment.
If the patients that you have with witness,
and they won't get blood transfusions
because of religious reasons,
you can temporize them in a hyperbereic environment.
So that's one data point to mention.
The other data point to mention is that
the different levels of pressure and oxygen
correlate to where the optimal indications are.
So, for example, between 1.3 and 2.0, those are most of our neurologic indications.
Those are things that are more brain and spinal cord focused.
So, patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, MS, other kinds of things
that are more neurologic focused.
And then outside of the brain and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system and sort of systemically, we have pressures
between 2.0 and 2.8 typically. We don't usually go deeper than analysis and emergency situation.
And that's where things outside the central nervous system that are that we have a focus
for, for example. So there's a bit of a delineation. So, and there's a lot of nuance to it, even in those ranges, but in general, neurologic
protocols are 1.3 to 1.75, 2.0 tops, and then systemic protocols are 2.0, the 2.8 typically.
One of the things I love about doing this podcast is you absolutely get to learn about
so many new fascinating things.
I'm loving this discussion, and it's interesting because earlier in the week I had former astronaut Nicole Scott
on the podcast and interesting to me Nicole is both an astronaut and an aqua nut and she was one
of the first person to go up the space station and before they went up there I had no idea this even
existed but NOAA has an underwater laboratory off a key West. And she spent almost three
weeks there underwater. So while she was doing that, was she kind of going through HBOT in
a way?
She was. Yeah. So I have a good friend of mine. He's a researcher down in Florida. I think
maybe you know, Dr. Dominic Diagostino. And he's in Tampa as well. And he's done a lot
of work in the ketogenic world. And a lot of
basic science, a lot of venture work, a lot of a lot of great stuff and cancer as well. And so he and
his wife were there as well. I think it's a very, it wasn't the same rig. It was a very similar rig
where you're deep down underneath the water. It's basically like you're in a submarine. And you
stay in a submarine environment for weeks at a time. So that is a hyperberegan environment. Yes,
it is. In a hyperbereic environment,
in it like on at sea level where you are and I'm not at sea low, I'm 5,000 feet up, but for all
intensive purposes, you know, above land. What you're doing is you're getting somebody in a hyperbereic
environment, you're increasing the amount of pressure to what we prescribe and then we're
increasing the amount of oxygen that you breathe. Typically, in the air that you're breathing now at 21% oxygen at sea level, at 15% where I am in
Colorado, but you're getting a 21% oxygen in circulation. And in a hyperburetic environment,
we'll increase that amount up to about 100%, depending on the type of chamber that you're in.
Sometimes we give you an oxygen concentrator and get you up to 60%. Other times we do 100%
oxygen on a face mask. It just depends on the type of chamber. It depends on the type of indication,
etc. In the case of the astronaut you're talking about and my colleague Dr. Diagostino and his
wife, Silla, they were in a pressurized environment. So the increase the amount of pressure, so that
because they're under C under the C, but they don't increase the amount of oxygen. So it's still 21%
oxygen. So there is less of a risk for oxygen toxicity
as a result of that,
or having any potential downsides of being in that environment.
But it's also very interesting,
because they've done some studies
and people that have been in those environments
and how it does change physiology.
And certainly it does increase the amount of oxygen
in circulation regardless
if you increase the amount of oxygen that you're breathing or not. And that's just because of the pressure itself driving more oxygen in circulation regardless, if you increase the amount of oxygen that you're breathing or not.
And that's just because of the pressure itself,
driving more oxygen in circulation.
It's my understanding that insurance today,
unless you're suffering from high altitudes, sickness,
does not cover these treatments.
But in many other parts of the world,
more and more countries are actually legitimizing its use officially.
Is that an accurate way to look at it?
Well, in the US, there is 14 indications
that are covered by medical insurance and Medicare.
But almost all of them, except for four,
are acute care trauma setting kinds of things.
The four that are not acute care trauma
are diabetic foot ulcers.
So people with late stage diabetic foot ulcers, who better risk risk for amputation,
chronic bone infections called osteomyelitis, radiation injury from cancer treatment.
So if you've had radiation for cancer and you've had an injury from the radiation,
that's been long standing greater than six months after the injury or occurs six months post radiation
that hyperberegarb is a fantastic way of healing up that tissue and unfortunately vastly underutilized for that
particular indication.
And then there's also flaps and graphs from plastic surgery.
So if you get a flap or a graft in surgery, a plastic surgery, if you've had a breast surgery
for cancer, for example, and you've had a breast reconstruction and things aren't healing
and you've had a radiation in that area, that you can use hyperbaric therapy, or even if you haven't had radiation actually,
you can use hyperbaric therapy to help heal tissue if it doesn't look like it's going to heal kind of thing.
There's also sudden hearing loss as well. This is pretty uncommon, but if it's patients that get sudden neurologic related hearing loss,
hyperbaric therapy is a very, very effective way of regaining hearing if it's done very quickly. That being said, in other countries around the world, Japan is probably the leader here,
but that's also China and Russia.
They have about 70, 70 indications where they use have therapy.
There was actually a study done on Chinese Olympic skiers.
They were using the chambers for recovery and had significant impact on their recovery
and their performance at the Olympics as well.
So definitely using it for a lot of athletes,
for a lot of different reasons,
but recovery, optimal performance, injury recovery as well,
not even just regular recovery, huge amount.
We'll be right back to our interview with Dr. Scott Sher.

Babel, language for life. Now, back to my interview with Dr. Scott
Sher.
So kind of a funny question. Today, they've got all these IV bars
that if you're hung over, they can give you an IV.
Would if you were hung over and you went into one of these chambers would you actually feel
better afterwards?
As long as you were hydrated, so I would do it combined with hydration because what hyperberegarbi
is going to do is it's trying to infuse oxygen into the liquid of your bloodstream, but
if you're dehydrated that's the liquid that you don't have.
So it's not going to work as well and it's also going to rev up energy production.
And if you're not mineral, mineral, pleated, if you're not hydrated, it's going to be
harder for you to see the results.
But I do have protocols that I've worked on over the years for things like jet lag and
hangovers and muscle recovery and sensory deprivation, all these other kind of things that can certainly
be used on a day to day basis for many of us these days as we're all traveling again or some of us
are traveling again. But so the answer, the short answer is yes, but the key always for me, John,
is it, it's not just by getting the chamber. It's like, what are you doing to optimize before,
what are you doing during what are you doing after to kind of give you a framework that helps you move
through your experience in the most optimally possible.
And so I work with clinics all over the country, all over the world, actually, just started
with working with one in Australia and Dubai just recently.
And like all these clinics are looking at hyperbereg therapy as one main thing that they
do, but they also have other technologies that they're using together or they're doing
laboratory testing or they're doing caropractic or they're doing massage or other things to kind of help support their
patients and make them better and using hyperburet therapy is again, for me, and I'm biased,
if this fantastic and one of the best sort of enhancers and synergizers and accelerators
that you can get is you're getting more oxygen in the system.
I wanted to go a little bit deeper into the stem cells.
I'll use this example.
Recently, was listening to Tony Robbins,
he's talking to all these world-renowned doctors
about alternate therapies for reversing aging,
but he goes into how he somehow or another
porous rotator cup, he went to all these doctors and all of them said
the only option you have is surgery.
And then he finally said,
I'm gonna get an alternative approach to this
and this doctor said, before you get surgery,
I want you to get out of Panama and get
from a Biblical cords.
Yes, I'm going to.
So he said within 48 hours,
the pain was completely gone.
And not only that, he had a back injury for many years
and it was constipation for that.
How was that stem cell type of treatment different
than what you would get with this type of treatment?
It's funny.
I went to a Tony Robbins conference in 2016.
I think it was.
And he was on stage talking about his recovery
from mercury poisoning using hyperberecoxygen therapy
with a colleague of mine in Australia at the time,
because he has a house, I believe,
around Mover in someplace.
So he's a big fan of hyperberec therapy too,
that much I know.
And he's used it a lot in his recovery and his optimization.
For a guy like him, that's on stage
and doing what he does.
And he does everything that he can to be at the best shape that he can be. And stem cells are interesting.
There are lots of different types of stem cells. And I'm certainly not an expert in all the
various levels of various types that there are. There are the ones that come from your own body,
or the ones that I mostly work with. Those are the ones that get produced in your bone marrow for the most part. Your bone marrow makes new stem cells all the time.
This is if you ever get a stem cell transplant, hopefully you don't have to, but or if you're getting
stem cells removed to give it to somebody else, they typically will take some sort of like sharp
knife kind of thing and scrape your iliac crest, which is the back of your, kind of your hip bone
on the back here. And that's where a lot of your stem cells are.
That's, these are cells that your body's making on their own
and they're produced all the time.
So I can't remember the clip,
but just to give you a sense,
like every 90 days you go through all your red blood cells.
So you get a completely new set of red blood cells
every 90 days.
I think your skin is every two years.
Your immune system is every six months or something like that. I can't remember.
But all these things are always being turned over. Everything your body is being turned over at a
pretty quick clip overall. And so stem cells are used to be able to do that. And so there's
different types of stem cells. There are stem cells that are baby cells. These are cells that
can make any type of cell in the body. And then there's also these what are called progenitor cells.
And these are cells that kind of park type of cell in the body. And then there's also these what are called progenitor cells.
And these are cells that kind of park themselves in various types of tissue and can become that
kind of tissue when they're stimulated to do it.
Okay.
So what we're doing in hyperburet chamber is that we're stimulating your body's natural
stem cells to be released from the bone marrow and to be maturing in the various cell types
that are required.
For example, if you have a cartilage injury, those are the types of cells that are required. For example, if you have a cartilage injury,
those are the types of cells that are going to be stimulated,
if you have a neurologic injury, et cetera.
And so what Tony and others are doing,
and I actually work with different providers around the world
that are using exogenous or using stem cells from outside the body.
And there are a lot of different types of stem cells from outside the body.
There are adipose derived, there fat derived stem cells, there are, there are, there are, there are, there are, probably like 10 other ones that I can't think of off the top my head. And there's also very small stem cells that are coming from the bloodstream, for example, and activating these stem cells with low-level light therapy,
interestingly enough. So what we think, though, is that the more nascent, the more baby the cell is,
the more it has the ability to form any type of cell, even if your stem cells can do the same thing,
the more robust stem cells are gonna be from fetal tissue
or from fetal, from placental tissue,
from umbilical tissue, embryonic tissue, et cetera.
So that's why these clinics are in Panama
and other places that are using these exogenous types
of stem cells.
At the same time, I've actually worked in a lot of protocols
using stem cells that they are giving along with the using hyperburet therapy at the same time.
It's mind-blowing to me how much now that we're looking at the human genome and all these alternate therapies, how much good we can do with these to prolong life in so many ways, just like I thought it was great that President Biden was talking again about this push to try to eradicate 50% of all cancers by the mid-2030s, which would be
so many promises, so many promises. We've been talking about getting rid of cancer since the
1960s. See how well we've been doing. Not to be too, sorry, I'm a little pessimistic there, but
Not to be too, I'm sorry, I'm a little pessimistic there. Well, speaking about cancer and radiation, I just wanted to give you two different scenarios.
So if you're a male who has gotten one of these more common throat cancers that's coming
about because of HPV and they have to do radiation and you've got the scar tissue around your
throat, which I understand can be excruciating.
I have a high school friend who had this done.
Can this therapy help a person like that?
So yes, anybody that's had a radiation injury,
and I'm not aware that radiation injury was.
I've had patients that radiation injury to the brain from radiation from the brain
or radiation injury from the head of neck cancer.
As it could be the teeth itself, it can be the jaw. It can be the neck. It can be the hearing.
It could be tenetists or ringing in the ears as well. There could be throat issues.
prostate cancer patients breast cancer patients that have got radiation and have injuries and wounds.
All these patients really respond very well to hyperberectheric therapy. It's not like one or two therapy sessions.
It's a prolonged period of hyperbaric therapy,
typically 40 to 60 hyperbaric sessions,
done daily, five days a week, two days off for that protocol.
So it's a pretty intense type of protocol,
but the reason for that is it,
and I alluded to this earlier,
is that there's the acute infusion of hyperbaric therapy
of oxygen in the system.
But the long-term benefit is that the shift in acute infusion of hyperdegthera, the evoxion in the system. But the long term benefit is that the shift
in how we're rebuilding that architecture,
not just takes time.
That's the time that it takes to really see those shifts.
And so rebuilding the tissue with new stem cells
and new blood vessels and rebuilding connected tissue
and everything else that's required,
that tissue to be more robust over the long term
and then to be healed, really.
What I typically say here is it's a little bit of like,
kind of a stepping back thing and talk a little bit more
about cancer in general and how hyperbaric therapy
might be helpful.
We use hyperbaric therapy in cancer
in about four or five different ways.
The first wave is radiation injury.
That's the FDA approved insurance approved way
of using hyperbaric therapy to this extremely effective.
There is some studies that have shown
that hyperbaric therapy can make chemotherapy and radiation work better. And it does this in various ways,
which we don't have to get into here, but basically making them work better. There's also the
ability of hyperbary therapy to help you heal faster from any particular surgery or intervention
that you might have. And this is not just in cancer, this is any intervention, whether it's a
hip replacement, a Tommy John surgery, a rotator cuff, a jaw surgery, whatever it might be, anywhere between 20 and 70% faster, depending on the injury,
depending on your ecosystem, depending on how healthy you are to start off with. And so we know
that surgical recovery is going to be faster after using hyperbaric therapy. Those protocols typically
are doing hyperbaric therapy before the surgery, a couple sessions at least if you can and then doing hyperbaryg therapy afterwards,
sort of preparing the tissue and getting it hyper-oxygenated and then after the surgery,
continuing to maintain. So we have plastic surgery patients that come in, we have all different
types of athletes and everybody else across the board, as you can imagine. So we have chemo,
so back to cancer, we have radiation injury, we have chemo and
radiation sensitivity, we have surgical recovery, we have the next bucket for cancer is a large
one. It's basically combining hyperberectherapy as a stress on tumors in combination with other
therapies that might also stress tumors as well. So the most common thing that we do now in that
world is is the ketogenic diet or ketones dominate the
vaccine, who I mentioned earlier, he's been a big researcher in this world. He did a study on a type of brain cancer, the ketogenic diet and hyperberectherapy, and saw a significant reduction in metastatic burden of the cancer using that combination.
So we're using hyperberectherapy as a stress on the body actually to stress tumor cells while also protecting normal cells in various ways.
The last way we're using hypochloropheopia is in supportive care. So people with injuries or brain fog from chemo fatigue, from cancer treatment or low blood counts, it's a big catch all but can significantly help in that capacity as well support the system. Okay, and just for the audience, I did want to point out that you are a board certified
doctor in this. Yes. In your in your practice, taking someone to HBOT is oftentimes not the first
thing that they need to work on. You try to look at the patient holistically. For instance,
if their diet isn't good, if they're not getting exercise, but if they're drinking a 12 pack a beer every day, a lot of these treatments aren't going to do you any good
or as much good as they possibly can. Yeah, thank you for pointing that out, because that's
it's very much the case. I'm I'm an internal medicine physician. I'm certified in hyperburetic
oxygen therapy. I'm also certified in a framework of health called health optimization medicine, which is my foundational health
framework, if I said that twice in the same sentence, my foundational health framework, which I
use for my hyperbereclinician, my hyperberecpatients, which really is kind of alluding to what
you mentioned before, which is the key for me is that if you have an acute injury, if you have
something that's acute, it just happened yesterday, 72 hours ago, even a couple of weeks ago, like you just want to get into the chamber and heal faster.
However, if you have a long-term issue or you have a long-term goal, then going into the
chamber right away is likely not going to be as helpful as it could.
If you weren't optimizing your diet, your lifestyle, your practices, your supplements, checking
on your cellular function, your gut function, your immune system health, doing all that
stuff beforehand is extremely helpful.
And like you mentioned, if you're drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and eating pizza
every day, no matter what I do or whatever you do in the chamber, is going to be hamstrung,
handicapped by that lifestyle that you have.
And whatever impact it may have, it'll likely not be as long-standing as if it was done
in a more holistic and more integrative way.
So my whole clinical practice is,
how can I optimize people the whole way through?
And I use that foundational testing piece,
the health optimization medicine piece.
I use the hyperbaric piece,
which is a fantastic synergizer accelerator.
And then I use other things along the way,
whether it be supplements, diet, specific to very specific goals
that people have.
I use neutropics.
I use lots of other things that you can kind of throw in there,
which are brain enhancing supplements.
I use athletic enhancing stuff.
I do, depending on the person that I'm working with,
you have to personalize it to them.
But for me, the foundation is always the framework
of looking at that cellular foundation
using health optimization medicine, which is my framework.
And then on top of that, I will use hyperbaric therapy
as my synergizer accelerator.
And then in addition, I will use various techniques
and practices that are very focused on these on a patient's goals,
whatever they may be.
I'm going to take us down to pass. The first is I want to talk about neuro generative diseases, specifically getting into traumatic brain injury. And then I went on pack peak performance after that.
Sure. So the way I became aware of you is I suffered from a number of traumatic brain injuries.
I, after those was just never myself.
And so kind of the way I equate this discussion is currently I have two different doctors.
My primary care physician is very much Western medicine is the only way he tells me I'm wasting my money on even any vitamins that I'm taking or other treatments.
He doesn't believe in hormone replacement.
So there's that side.
And then I have another doctor who's also a board certified doctor, but he believes in opening up the whole can of worms and looking at any modality that can help you. In my case, I spent literally 15 to 16 years in this state where I had cognitive decline,
I had memory issues, I was having major sleep issues, irritability, and a couple things
fortunately happened to me. I got to meet Andrew Marr, and the reason I met him
was through the movie that you were in.
And I reached out to him as many veterans have,
and I've had him in my podcast.
One of his doctor now treats me.
I'm getting hormone replacement therapy,
and I'm getting high doses of omega-3s,
and other things.
My whole life has changed for the better.
For the first time, I feel like I have clarity,
I can keep focus better,
but it's even in the VA right now,
they're still not allowing that type of medicine
to be practiced even though it's been found useful
in thousands of veterans who have suffered
very similar concussion-like symptoms that Andrew and I had.
And then I had Dr. J Jay Lombard on the podcast.
Someone I want to introduce you to,
he's a world-renowned neurologist
who is actually on the cutting edge right now
of finding alternative health treatments
to basically turn around Alzheimer's and dementia,
MLS and other things.
I'm not sure if he's using HBOT, which is one of the reasons
I'd like you to talk to him. And it just made me want to ask seeing that movie and maybe you can
explain this to the audience. But if you've suffered a traumatic brain injury and they're like
two million of people a year who get them, five million people who are living like I did with long-term impacts from them.
How could a treatment like this help them? A traumatic brain injury really is the way I like to
think about it. It's like a bruise on the brain. We are very good. Our bodies are very good.
It's actually healing injuries outside of our brain because they can actually swell those areas.
Swelling is a big way that like a knee injury, for example,
if you bang up your knee, your knee is going to swell up like a balloon.
And that's a reason, the reason why it does that it's a protective layer,
but also it brings all your immune cells, everything to the area to start healing
and clearing, clearing it up.
And most of the time you have very little scar tissue left at the end,
if you've had even a pretty significant injury.
The problem with the brain is that it can't swell.
It's got a cranium around it.
And so if the brain swells, you die.
And so this, we know, if you've had a severe traumatic brain injury and maybe you know people that have, John,
I know I have and they've had to be in the ICU, they've had to have part of their skull removed
so that pressure can be relieved.
And there was an interesting work that was done back in the late 1990s, actually, early
1990s, maybe, by a group in Minnesota that looked at animals first and then humans in the
early 2000s in the setting of a cutematic brain injury.
So what they did was they will talk about the human part of this.
So what they did is that the people that were,
that fifth criteria for the study where people
with severe traumatic brain injuries,
and they all needed to be in the ICU,
they all needed to be on ventilators,
they all needed to be sedated so that nobody knew was going on.
And then what they did is they took one group
and put them in a hyperburet environment just three times,
the first three days when they got there,
and the other group they didn't.
The mortality rate was half,
so that improving a mortality by 50%,
and the morbidity was significantly improved as well.
Morbidity means disability.
So about 30% to 40% better,
as far as their functional capacity
after such a severe event.
And the reason why I think it works so well
in the acute setting,
and we'll talk about it in the chronic setting too, is it it's that acute
injury that causes the swelling, it causes the inflammation, it causes the dysfunction of tissue because of vascular damage.
So if you can get hyperberecotherapy, if you can get oxygen in the system fast, you can see reversing of a lot of those markers, those metrics that can kill people
in the early setting, especially the one they saw
that was the biggest indicator of hyperbaric therapy
was help, that was going to help,
is if you had more increased intracranial pressure.
So the patients that had the highest intracranial pressure
did the best with hyperbaric therapy.
Basically, the brain swells up,
and even if you put a burrow or an opening,
you could still get a lot of swelling.
So hyperbaric therapy really helped with that.
So mortality was half and disability
was like 30 to 40% better
if they got into hyperbaric environment just three times,
just three times the first three.
And so in the acute setting,
let's call it a really crappy pun on no brainer
as far as I'm concerned.
And right now they're doing a phase two,
or it's actually a phase three study I believe,
it's called the Hoppet trial, H-O-B-I-T,
and it's looking at hyperberegoxid therapy
in the brain injury in this acute setting.
We're very excited about this trial,
we're very hopeful that it'll become
the new standard of care for treating traumatic brain injury
in the acute setting when you have a severe injury.
Now, for people with chronic traumatic brain injury, these are post-concussive syndrome
that's lasted the definition is greater than three months or so.
The idea here is that, as I was alluding to before, the brain doesn't want us well, right?
It doesn't want to unless it really needs to or it has no choice.
But in general, you can't heal a wound in your brain as easily as you can heal a wound on your knee.
Because you just can't bring all the things that you want to it because there's the handicap capacity of the brain to be able to do those kinds of things.
And so what happens often the times that you get an injury that doesn't completely heal.
And the way I like to think about this, John, as the example I give is if you have a still lake in the water, no wind, it's completely still, and you throw a rock into it.
There's a direct impact of that rock, and there's all the ripples around where that rock impacted.
The ripple area is much larger than the impacted area that hit directly when the rock gets the water.
So if you can imagine an intramaric brain injury, you have direct impacts where you can have tissue
depth. It's going to happen, especially for a larger injury. But from a comparison
perspective, the ripple area is much larger. And then the TBI example, this is the area of
tissue that's been injured, but that's not dead. It just tissue that's been injured that
has the potential to reverse and to optimize and to regenerate itself, if given what it needs,
which the things that it needs, new stem cells,
new blood vessels, which all require more oxygen. So in the post-concussive world, we're using
hyperbaric therapy to regenerate the architecture of the brain that's been injured, especially in those
rippled areas. We call it the pericontusional area, the area around the bruise that can heal.
It's like all that yellow area around your bruise that you see on your knee or whatever.
That's your pericontusional area.
The scar area is the part that doesn't heal, but everything else is with heals.
It's the same thing that happens in your brain.
We're just accelerating the process and decreasing the amount of scar tissue that could potentially
be there as a result of the injury.
And that's kind of information there. I'm definitely going to study it more, but a lot of this is on the same lines that Jay is looking at.
However, he's really trying to try to study proteins and why proteins get stuck.
Sure. I'm not sure.
It doesn't have a system.
Yeah, that's a big deal.
And I think what also, you know, Mark Gordon does and a lot of the other people that are working in the TPI space, Michael Lewis and others that are on Andrew Mars advisory
team and work with him is they're looking at the inflammatory component of this. And that's
a really big deal. That's where hyperbariac therapy is really working a lot in the post-concussive
syndrome world as well as working on brain inflammation. And so if you can decrease brain
inflammation, whether using peptides, using certain inflammation, whether you're using peptides,
using certain supplements, using hyperbaric therapy, there's lots of different fish, like the fish
oils of the world and high dose hormones, like these are all pieces to the puzzle, for example. And so
we've had some people that just you have a very therapy to do great, other is that just to hormones
and do great, but oftentimes it's hormones, it's hyperbargotherapy, it's even stem cells I've had with TBI patients
over the years.
And Hydrofish oil, I mean, it's usually a combination of things is really going to be the best
for most people.
I really want to get on the speak performance because that's probably what a lot of the
audience wants to talk about.
I want to kind of cover it in three different areas.
You named one person who was publicly talked about his use of H-Bot, whichT. which is Tony Robbins who I think he's in his mid 60s now,
but he now feels like he could live to 120.
I think he has a new baby in fact.
In the Silicon Valley, you hear about new tropics.
You hear about people microdosing,
especially things like mushrooms and LSD.
And then obviously there's people who are buying these H-bots for inside
their houses. So I wanted to first kind of go into this whole area of new tropics because I'm
taking one myself right now. I had no idea that's what it was, but I've been using a product
called Magic Mine. They sponsor this podcast and conjunction with Athletic green. I didn't know what to believe,
but literally within 72 hours after starting to take it,
that afternoon down that you often feel like during the day
disappeared.
And I just felt this energy all day
through that I didn't have before.
I know you're heavily involved in these.
How do they work?
And is there really something like the blue pill
that you can take?
Right. So I've been in and around the optimal performance and athletic performance biohacking space for almost eight years now. One of the major areas that's been interesting to me
throughout that time, especially recently has been Neutropics and Neutropics. Definition-wise,
is there a brain enhancing supplement?
It's a difficult category to describe if you just leave it at that.
I think what's important to think about is that there are various things that enhance
your brain function, that support your brain, and there are various things that enhance
your brain function that can clock your brain, that can stimulate your brain.
Like so, for example, caffeine is a Neutropic that stimulates your brain.
It's a performance related Neutropic.
We have a company called troscriptions. It's called troscriptions because it's
trokes, which are these dissolvable lochanges between your cheek and your gums, let them
dissolve there over 15 to 30 minutes. And the second part of the word is prescriptions. It comes
from the word prescriptions. These are precision-dosed, pharmaceutical grade,
physician-formulated myself, and others in the company. But we make trokeys or make neutropics,
but we are very careful to talk about
what type of neutropic you're taking.
Are you taking what we call a health optimization
neutropic, one that optimizes helps your system work better?
Or are you taking a performance optimizing neutropic?
One that's improving performance,
but may not be actually good for you
on the sense of helping with your cellular optimization,
it might be clocking your system in some ways.
Typically, when you think of a performance related,
neutrophilic, you're thinking of ones
that are stimulants in general.
So the most commonly prescribed one is Adderall, of course,
but there's also things like nicotine and caffeine,
for example, which are stimulants that stimulate the body
to work faster
and increase hormones and neurotransmitters
that make you do that or help you do that.
And caffeine, of course, falls into that category,
but something like alphanine, for example,
which is in other types of, is more of a supportive one.
It helps with relaxation and it helps kind of balance out,
sort of caffeine, for example.
So matcha, for example, is a,
is something that has both of those in them.
So in my practice,
I use a lot of neutropics, especially in the beginning, when I'm working with people that really
have issues with brain fog and fatigue and trying to support them, it's cellular optimization.
So we use one particular neutropic, a lot in our company called Methylene Blue. This is something
that turns your mouth blue a little bit. It also turns your urine blue.
It's been around a long time.
It helps with mitochondrial optimization.
It works just like oxygen in the cells,
allows you to make energy,
but it also works like an antioxidant.
And it works on the mitochondria itself
to help you make more energy from the oxygen
that's around as well.
And it has a lot of different ways it works,
but basically supports your mitochondria.
And so we use that a lot in our products.
We have one that's just methylene blue by itself.
And then we have another one that has methylene blue nicotine caffeine and CBD
together all four together.
And that is the nicotine and caffeine, which are stimulants, but it has methylene blue
and CBD, which are both neuro protective and also improve just the general sort
of ecosystem of the brain so that you have a better experience overall.
So you have a good on-ramp, good off-ramp kind of thing. So I'm a big fan of
Neutropics. I think that they just need to be used in context. In the sense of you're
using something that's clocking your brain every day, it may not go well over time,
especially if you're not addressing that cellular foundation. And in the health optimization world,
we're looking at what can support the system
and also enhance brain function that way. So if you want to your brain to work as you have to have
good cellular function, good hormone function, good immune system function, good gut function,
that's what's really going to sustain you over the long term. You're not a pill, whether it be
the limitless pill from the movie or blue canteen, which is our one that's similar to the limitless
pill and the way you feel. You don't want to do these things all the time, especially if you're not optimized on that foundation.
Okay, we're probably not going to have time to dive into the psychedelics, but I did want to ask
if you were interested in buying one of these H-bots for your home, how much do they typically
range in price? So, the mild units are really good for neuro
cognitive optimization, muscle recovery, some of the performance related metrics that we were
talking about before. We didn't really talk a lot about them, but I work with athletes that
are looking at to improve endurance, to improve muscle recovery, to work with jet lag, injury recovery
as well, of course, and also cognitive performance and a lot of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, people in that area where I formerly lived were using chambers and not telling other entrepreneurs
and CEOs that they were doing them as well. I was surprised that they didn't want anybody else to know.
It was part of that culture. How are brains are going to function best? So obviously using new
tropics, but the chambers were a big part of that, actually, for a lot of people in the area.
And I worked with a lot of them. And I think if you're looking at the chamber for those reasons,
then I think a mild unit that can get to your home
is something that would be tenable.
It would be an option.
It would be potentially helpful.
The pricing ranges pretty dramatically,
but you're looking at, like, on the lowest,
and like about 8,000 on the higher end, about 20 to $23,000
for a chamber.
And I work with a couple of companies.
I have my own company that's making hyperberec
technology called HBOT Plus, actually.
We have our own company that is making technology to make these chambers better and with wellness
protocols and all these other kinds of things that we're working on now.
And you get what you pay for in general.
The smaller units are less money.
The nicer units, the ones with more versatile
are more money in general.
I have resources.
If your audience is interested,
they can always reach out to me or reach out to my company.
I'm happy to help.
If you can shoot all of those to me,
I will put them in the show notes.
I love to put as many resources as I can.
If someone listening wanted to get a hold of you,
how can they do that?
Yeah, good question. The easiest place is probably to go to my website. as I can. If someone listening wanted to get a hold of you, how can they do that?
So yeah, good question. The easiest place is probably to go to my website. It's DrScotcher.com. My name is DR SCOTTSHERR.com and that's mostly my hyperbereic practice. Although I'm in the process
of transitioning that to be more of my catch-all for everything that I do, but right now it'll go
to my hyperbereic practice. If you're interested in consulting with me,
I work with people all over the world
and I help optimize hyperbari protocols
before, during and after, as well,
not just about the chamber itself,
but how and what you're doing
before, during and after is extremely important.
I work with clinics all around the world.
And then if you're interested in Neutropics
and wanna try some of the products that I was describing,
we have a company called Troscriptions.
We're on Instagram, of course, Troscriptions, TRO, descriptions like prescriptions or
