I was in an HBOT chamber the other day getting treatment for a leg wound and played a song from my music library that I hadn't listened to for several years: Don't Let Your Heart Be Hardened by Petra. It hit me pretty hard, and I felt I needed to hear its message but was also blessed by it.
This is a good lyrics video of it. I hope it touches and blesses pedes here.
Each session is 1 hour and I think the machine is 1.5 ATA (it's a hard shell unit by oxygenhealthsystems). They have me use a cannula where I'm breathing 100% oxygen, but I'm not sure of the O2 % in the chamber.
Their website shows 5 hard-shell units, but I'm not sure which one my clinic uses. I know it is at least 1.5 ATA though.
It's a trauma induced shin wound in-between the size of a half dollar & dollar coin. I must have hit my shin on the stupid foot board about 200 times getting back into bed in the middle of the night. If I would have known this would result, I would have put on a bumper or something. A biopsy can back with squamous cell carcinoma. I'm so very health conscious otherwise (lots of supplementation, lots of cardio and strength training exercises, very good weight management, waist size, diet, conscious of my mental attitude by limiting anger, fear, etc.) but traditional doctors want to treat me as just a cancer patient. They say things like "it must be coincidence that the squamous carcinoma cells happen to be right where you kept hitting your shin" and want to do major plastic surgery, radiation, etc.
The HBOT sessions have helped some but not as much as I'd like so I've recently been in contact with this office:
The BEC5 cream should be delivered in a few days and the office manager I talked to immediately took a very involved approach in making sure I knew how to use it properly for best results. She wants me to call back anytime, etc. - it was a very good first impression. She said they sell thousands of these tubes and was confident it would "take care of it" for me. The reviews on their website for BEC5 are encouraging.
I learned about BEC5 from the book "Cancer Step Out of the Box" by Ty Bollinger. I looked up squamous cell carcinoma in the index and there was a page reference for several effective treatments. BEC5 seemed like the best approach to me.
BTW my supplementation includes ivermectin, fenbendazole, NAC, glutathione, highly absorbed forms of C & D, a suite of B, zinc / quercetin, a suite of "picometer" minerals by RnA Reset (I highly recommend them - best minerals I've ever used), and a blend of several items for joint health.
I'm always open to and appreciate recommendations from other pedes. Most of the supplements I take I learned about from GAW.
For my diet it's a combination of things I try to avoid all together, things I try to limit, things I try to focus on getting, and portion sizes by never stuffing myself.
I try to completely avoid trans fats, nitrates, and artificial sweeteners (especially so-called Nutra sweet). Limt soy and high fructose corn syrup as much as possible (try to avoid them altogether but they're everywhere), limit (avoid altogether when possible) processed foods, and limit sugar. Even though sugar sources are included in my strength training recovery bars and powders, I still try to limit it in my foods and especially in empty calorie snacks.
Breakfast is the same thing almost every morning: Small portion of "Qia Superfood Cocoa Coconut Superflakes". I like them because no soy, but instead the main ingredient is brown rice flour and sprouted grains. I put on a small portion of frozen wild blueberries and pour 100% Grass Feed Organic Milk. I try to avoid corn fed milk as much as possible. I can't find this cereal anymore at the grocery store as even all the so called "healthy" cereals are loaded up with soy and sugar, so I have to get it on-line.
I try to get a lot of high quality protein so most of the time lunch (usually around early mid-afternoon) will be organic free range eggs cooked over easy in a liberal amount of real Irish Butter (no margarine) on toast from bread made locally with a not too large a serving of organic orange juice. Other days that meal will be Genova Tuna in Olive oil that I mixed with organic olive oil based spread and chopped up (I do the chopping) combination of walnuts and pecans and sometimes include raisins (my wife thinks that part is gross) also served in between the local bread and toasted.
I also like to get a well marbled rib-eye a couple of times a week from a local butcher. Each steak is usually big enough for two meals. I grill them with a good sear, but am careful not to burn or char them (cooked medium rare).
Snacks include mixed nuts (limiting the amount of peanuts), apples, bananas, cherries, etc. and protein bars. I like the Gatorade Whey Protein bars and the Quest Nutrition bars because (should be easy to guess by now) - no soy.
I also like the protein powder supplements: "Muscle Juice" from Chicago Nutrition Company and "TrueFit Meal Replacement Shake Protein which is also whey based but includes prebiotics and probiotics. Mix both with the same 100% Grass Fed Organic milk I use for breakfast.
My water intake is almost always through an alkaline "filter the bad stuff out and put some good minerals back in" filter. I also pour it into a real copper pitcher each night in the fridge so I have a full supply for the day in the morning.
Not perfect though as in occasional ice cream (limit portion size), chocolate, and even though I exercise a lot those Gatorade Protein bars are pretty big. A full bar is fine for recovery during / after an hour-long resistance training session, but when lounging in the recliner a half a bar would be better than the sometimes too often full bar (more minutes on the recumbent bike).
Edit: sometimes when I'm tired or mentally drained I'll cook up a frozen cheese pizza or a store-bought chicken pot pie. Yep, those are processed foods, but I try not to do that too often, and most importantly when I do I limit the portion size. A quarter of the frozen cheese pizza is enough or at the very most a half. I hate the thought of stress eating to the point where I end up eating the whole thing in one setting. Haven't done that in a long time.

HBOT? Interesting! What pressure, how long were you in and percent of oxygen?
Each session is 1 hour and I think the machine is 1.5 ATA (it's a hard shell unit by oxygenhealthsystems). They have me use a cannula where I'm breathing 100% oxygen, but I'm not sure of the O2 % in the chamber.
Here is where I go for treatment:

Thanks for all the details! The O2 of the chamber is not so important if you have a cannula.
What's your diet like?
I've been pretty swamped with work the last couple of days. Diet isn't perfect, but I'll try to give a decent response this weekend.

I actually went to alibaba online and I bought a chamber for around 4,000. Saved me a bag of money.

Thank you for the tips. I'll look into it. So much knowledge from pedes at GAW. We really are fortunate to have each other.
