Hearing that a doctor had prescribed hyperbaric as a “last resort”, really got me thinking… Why is it that hyperbaric is the “Last Resort” in many indications. Is it because it is likely ineffective? Doubtfully so! A more likely reason would have to do with cost of treatment vs. patient necessity. In regards to wound [...]

“The deeper we go into the facets of life, the more mysterious we encounter. Analyzing living systems, we often have to pull them to pieces, decompose complex biological happenings into simple reactions. The smaller and simpler the system we study, the more it will satisfy the rules of physics and chemistry, the more we will understand it, but also the less “alive” it will be. So when we have broken down living systems to molecules and analyzed their behavior, we may kid ourselves into believing that we know what life is, forgetting that molecules have no life at all.”
–Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgyi
