Can you use a hyperbaric chamber to treat cancer?
Over the past 12+ years I have designed and built 3 HBOC's with the 4th in construction. My HBOC's differ from others, in that I use interior controls. I don't vent expired gases, and I breathe 100% oxygen through a 2nd stage SCUBA, with the mouthpiece removed and a silicon CPR mask put in its place. I now have 668 hours of HBOT. I'm 78 and in superb health. The first HBOC was designed for a possibility of two persons, but in 12 years only one person at a time has used it. It is a horizontal cylinder 7' long and 36" in diameter. The window door is 18 1/4" square and fits into an angles iron from. One goes in feet first and secures the door with two copper dogs. The second HBOC is an upright cylinder 3 1/2 feet in diamter about 5 1/2 feet high, with seating for two inside. The door is 48" x 20". I built it for my wife, but she never used it. All of my HBOC's are reasonable to build and cheap to use. The third HBOC was built for 12 persons; 8 inside and an exterior antechamber for 4 It is presently in Esparza, Costa Rica under the care of a doctor trianed in HBO medicine. The fourth is for 6 persons; and is under construction in Cartago, Costa Rica, my place of residence. My e-mail is jkerb@racsa.co.cr feel free to contact me. John W. Erb, P.E.

What vaccines are used in the U.S. to immunize children against hemophilus infections?
There are three different vaccines for hemophilus infections used to immunize children in the United States: PRP-D, HBOC, and PRP-OMP.
Cancer can sometimes be an inheritable disease?
Yes, cancer can sometimes have a hereditary or genetic component. Some individuals may inherit gene mutations from their parents that increase their susceptibility to developing certain types of cancer. These inherited genetic mutations are associated with an increased risk of cancer, but they do not guarantee that cancer will develop. There are certain genes known as tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes that play crucial roles in regulating cell growth and preventing the formation of tumors. Mutations in these genes can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and an elevated risk of cancer. Two common types of hereditary cancer syndromes are: Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC): Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Individuals with these mutations have a higher-than-average risk of developing these cancers, as well as an increased risk of certain other cancers. Lynch Syndrome (Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer - HNPCC): This syndrome is caused by mutations in genes involved in DNA repair, such as MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. Lynch Syndrome is associated with an elevated risk of colorectal cancer and an increased risk of other cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, and stomach cancers. It's important to note that while hereditary factors can contribute to an increased risk of cancer, the majority of cancers are not directly inherited. Most cancers are believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. If there is a family history of certain types of cancer, genetic counseling and testing may be recommended. Genetic testing can identify whether an individual carries specific mutations associated with an increased cancer risk. This information can help individuals and their healthcare providers make informed decisions about monitoring, prevention, and early detection strategies. If you have concerns about your risk of developing cancer based on your family history, it is advisable to discuss these concerns with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor. They can provide guidance on genetic testing and help assess your individual risk factors.
