HBOT and Rapamycin protocol
Greetings! I just signed up to this forum. I've been looking for something like this so I could bounce ideas off the group. I recently bought a Hyperbaric Chamber and have been using it off and on. I want to use it in tandem with the Rapamycin/Exercise protocol that Brad Stanfield is suggesting in his proposed medical trial. So, something like: Monday: Rapamycin dose (TBD), Tuesday exercise, Wednesday HBOT, Thursday exercise, Friday HBOT, Saturday exercise, Sunday HBOT. And then repeat the cycle...until I die at age 347? Who knows if this will increase age-span but I'm hoping it will increase healthspan and improve my quality of life. I'm 54.

Had similar idea but bought an EWOT device from liveo2.com which allows me to go both hyperoxic and hypoxic while exercising
-
Paul Beauchemin oh how interesting! I’m going to check this out.

Paul Beauchemin hi Paul, I’m evaluating to buy a EWOT device, maybe can you share some feeling about your try w/ liveo2 ? Tanks and have a good day!
-
Eduardo Paiva it works fine - no complaints. can really see my pulseOx vary from 100 to low 80's and back again.

Paul Beauchemin Thanks for you replay, I appreciated !

I am using an Oxygen concentrator for HIF although I will try mild hyperbarics. I am not persuaded that adding the exercise makes that much of a difference. Additionally i I know that partial pressure of 0.9bar for O2 does upregulate HIF. Whether it is worth the hassle of taking it up to 1.2bar I don't know. I will experiment to see if there is difference. However, can do 0.9bar without exercise a few times a day quite easily as I can still work.

John Hemming I didn’t even know what HIF was! I’m going to do some research. Thanks for your comment! I’m mainly adding exercise because I feel I’m more and more deficient in that area as I get older.

Bart Balder I have recently found out that serum Metatonin tends to inhibit HIF in some circumstances, but that is more of a timing issue than anything else. I cannot say my varioxia has resulted in any specific identifiable changes, but there is quite a bit of positive research aboout the area.
-
John Hemming I have looked at this issue a bit further as my protocol involves considerable amounts of melatonin. As far as I can tell the concentrations of melatonin need to inhibit HIF are much higher than either is normal peak endogenous levels or in fact the levels I dose at which is much higher than the normal levels.
However, it is difficult to be certain about this.
-
John Hemming I have found a useful review of HIF which looks at lots of things including a link to autophagy and mitophagy.

I cannot isolate out the effects of varioxia, but I can say that the improvement in my biomarkers has accelerated.
