How CO2 helps

Transdermal carbon dioxide therapy can support the healing of soft body tissue injuries, directly decrease inflammation and pain, act as an anti-oxidant to preserve tissue, and decrease the survival of hypoxic cancer cells.

The Power of Transdermal Therapy

Laboratory studies in cells, animals and humans clearly demonstrate that carbon dioxide has many potential mechanisms for treating a variety of diseases.

Transdermal pharmaceutical carbon dioxide dramatically increases tissue blood flow and oxygenation. It also decreases concentration of HIF1 alpha and it directly decreases the main biological compound that regulates inflammation (NFkB). And, transdermal carbon dioxide has a powerful role in reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) thus ameliorating the ROS activity.

Additional biological benefits of pharmaceutical carbon dioxide

  • Increased nitric oxide thus enhancing flow dependent dilation

  • Increased mitochondrial biogenesis

  • Promotion of VEGF upregulation

  • Neovascularization and capillary growth

  • Activation of myogenesis thus accelerating muscle injury repair over fibrosis

  • Suppression of the growth of metastic squamous cells and osteosarcoma

Clinical research has shown positive effects of transcutaneous pharmaceutical carbon dioxide in treating peripheral vascular disease, exercise endurance, skin grafts, wound healing, muscle disuse, tumorigenesis, and bone fractures. In addition, there is every reason to predict positive effects for laminitis; although, it has not yet been tested.

 
There is significant evidence based on the history of Sadie’s trauma, her treatments and the progression of the lameness, swelling and lesion that the transdermal carbon dioxide treatments had a direct and positive effect on improving degree of lameness and a likely positive effect by accelerating lesion healing and reducing inflammation.

The speed and quality of the healing process using carbon dioxide therapy on this case followed the outcomes of previous wound cases on which I have used the therapy. The outcomes on wound cases using transdermal carbon dioxide have been so consistent that it has become my primary modality for wound treatment and healing.

This case of laminitis showed a definite response to transdermal carbon dioxide treatments. Laminitis cases that become unresponsive to pain medication are devastating and typically end up being euthanized after exhaustive measures are taken to save the horse. The transdermal treatments not only made a remarkable difference in the clinical response of this case, it was the only treatment that successfully made the patient comfortable.
