Hyperbaric Oxygen Fighting Cancer

This Gofundme campaign is raising money to support the work of Dr. Dominic D'Agostino. His research has shown tantalizing glimpses into the synergy of ketogenic diets and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the fight against cancer.  Survival of laboratory animals has been more than doubled by this combined approach. 

Before HBOT/Ketogenics can be studied in humans, however,  the question of dosing (how much oxygen and how frequently) needs to be addressed and Dr. D'Agostino has a study designed and ready to go. All that is required is the funding to get it off the ground! 

Please consider funding his important research into the possibility of a therapy with few side effects, that could save many lives and make the quality of life better for cancer patients. All of your contributions will go directly to fund the cost of the study! Make a contribution here.
