This is the remarkable story of Mark Farley, whose severe Huntington’s Disease symptoms have been dramatically reduced since June 2002 when he began treatment with Dr. Zayd Ratansi at the HOC Health Centre in Coquitlam.
After Mark was first diagnosed with Huntington’s disease in 1997, he worked closely with doctors in Arkansas whose treatment included participation in a clinical research drug trial program. Results were not satisfactory. Doctors advised Mark that his hereditary condition was likely to worsen with time and that treatment of this disease was difficult. At this point in time, Mark’s worsening symptoms meant that he had difficulty walking, was unable to speak with clarity and had decreased strength for normal daily activities.
Mark was introduced to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a treatment that enhances tissue levels with life giving oxygen. Each Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment was costing $400 US and Mark required an initial treatment program of forty treatments in the first month with an additional 160 treatments to follow – a serious challenge to Mark’s financial capability.
In search of better answers, Mark and his wife Sandee traveled to Cancun in May of 2002 to attend a presentation on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. There they met a guest presenter, Dr. Zayd Ratansi ND and licensed Hyperbaric Physician. As Medical Director of HOC Health Centers, (With offices in the United States and Canada – Seattle, Coquitlam, Victoria) Dr. Ratansi invited Mark and his wife to visit him at the Coquitlam Health Center where a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber was available – along with a complete range of other treatments Dr. Ratansi thought would be beneficial. On June 17th, 2002 Mark began treatment. Improvement was almost immediate.
Mark’s wife tells it best. . . “We were at the point where we thought we’d heard it all before – we’d followed dead end paths and encountered so many disappointments. Dr. Ratansi, however, said things that made sense to us. He talked about a pro-active health treatment program involving a combination of safe; science based natural medical advancements combined with a custom prepared combination of therapies and treatments. Mark and I talked about it and ended up saying to ourselves -“What have we got to lose? – Dr. Ratansi seems to know what he is talking about. What we didn’t know was that in a very short time, Dr. Ratansi would reverse all of our skepticism. For the first time after treatment began, Mark experienced dramatic and lasting results. It was truly exciting to watch him improve so quickly”.
By September 2002, having received forty Hyperbaric treatments over 30 days and a variety of other treatments prescribed by Dr. Ratansi, Mark had regained his ability to walk with little or no assistance as well as his ability to talk and communicate with ease. “I continue to feel myself coming back,” said Mark, whose speech skills reveal a remarkable sense of humor.
The combination of treatments received by Mark at HOC included Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at a cost of around $100 Canadian/$65.00 US per visit compared to the $400 US cost Mark faced in Arkansas. This safe and painless oxygen enhancement program has each patient enter a multi place chamber where, under increased atmospheric pressure, patients breathe 100% oxygen through a clear plastic hood. A trained HOC attendant, inside the chamber, monitors patients at all times. Long-term therapeutic benefits include enhanced growth of new blood vessels, an increased ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria and remove toxins, and increased growth of fibroblasts – cells involved in wound healing. Benefits also include enhanced metabolic activity of previously marginally functioning cells including brain neurons.
In October and November 2002 Mark and wife again made the long drive from Arkansas to the Coquitlam HOC Health Center for continued treatments. Now, however, they have rented an apartment not far from the HOC Health Center. They also returned with Mark’s brother Scott whose Huntington’s Disease is five years more advanced. Scott reports that his HOC treatments have now begun and that they have already reduced his symptoms.
Mark tells us, “In addition to the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, I have been introduced to an equally beneficial Chelation Therapy that reverses and slows the progression of atherosclerosis and age-related diseases. This treatment, in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary changes and specialized nutritional supplements seems to be just what the doctor ordered. My strength is returning. I am thinking better and I am able to express myself, once again, the way I want to. Sandee has been terrific in helping me to work with the good folks here at HOC and all in all, I am very excited at some of the equally positive things my brother may have in store for him now that he too is undergoing treatment. This place really has changed my life. I’m real happy!”

Picture a lifelong jogger who, 10 years before retirement, had always been the picture of good health. This was when Michael Barber first started to experience the effects of an irregular heartbeat. (Arrhythmia) It was the mid 70’s when fifty five year old Michael was first hospitalized and prescribed a battery of medications.
At first, results were good enough to allow him to retire from his Regina based Federal Government job to quiet Pender Island on the beautiful British Columbia coast. Five years later, symptoms of Eritrea began to return. All too soon the painfully familiar chest pains began to again be part of Michaels life. Several cardiologists later, Michael accepted medical advice and began to stop exercising. An Angiogram had discovered four blockages including one that was particularly threatening. Bypass surgery was declined due to medications. With only two overworked doctors on Pender Island, Michael moved to Vancouver where he had family and access to a well-respected cardiologist. After considerable consultation, he was poised to accept a pacemaker but elected instead, to remain on medications. It was about this time Michael’s daughter in law, a registered UBC nurse, suggested a visit with UBC based Dr. Stewart who introduced Michael to the wonders of Chelation Therapy.
After three treatments a week over four weeks, Michael started to feel better. 40 treatments later, he was feeling like his old self again, healthy enough to move with his artist wife to San Miguele, Mexico. Over the next four years, he continued Chelation Therapy treatments. While the results were good, treatment costs soon motivated a return to Vancouver where he looked up his original caregiver, Dr. Stewart at the UBC Hospital. A “good news” Angiogram confirmed that Michaels heart had actually developed collaterals. (Channels of blood flow around the original blockage). Michael was elated. Then he heard about Dr. Ratansi at the HOC Health Center in Coquitlam where Chelation Treatment was being offered as part of a complete science-based patient care program, at considerably less cost. Today Michael continues to benefit from Chelation Treatment from the HOC Health Care Center in Coquitlam. The result is a dramatic difference to his lifestyle and overall good health. Today, Michael leads an active lifestyle while following a program of sensible health care prescribed by caregivers at HOC.
