So do soft chambers have a benefit or is it just a myth?
One of my main goals in all of the work that we're doing, especially this KZbin channel, is to deal with a lot of the myths and misconceptions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
I believe that hyperbaric oxygen is one of the most powerful tools that any of us might have in our toolbox to really help patients in so many different cases.
However, it remains one of the most underutilized tools out there, and I believe that the biggest reasons are because people don't fully understand what it is, and how it works, and also due to these myths that persist in the industry, creating confusion and making doctors or other health care practitioners reluctant to recommend it or use it in their practices.
So let’s discuss one of the biggest myths out there: Soft hyperbaric chambers don’t work.

[@nerychristian]

How often you use?

[@ChessMasterNate]

I doubt it would greatly increase superoxide. You would still be using a low amount of oxygen compared to exercise or sauna. The difference should be that more oxygen would be getting into small blood vessels, blood vessels where there is some resistance to flow, and tissues that oxygenate poorly like cartilage, and bone. And I disagree that if there was much more superoxide, that, that would be beneficial. If there is not a balance between superoxide dismutase and superoxide, a great deal of damage could result. But, like I said, I don't think that is what is happening.

[@kricketkitty]

How was it administered 300 years ago? How are the soft chambers sanitized of all the bacteria and pathogens it has to collect from sick patients? It seems these contaminates would be more difficult to remove and a risk to the next patient than the hard ones, but maybe it's equally risky. I watched a cleaning video for the hard chambers from one of the manufacturers and it was frightening. Do the soft chambers have the same kind of exhalation exhaust as hard chambers and if yes, how are the exhausts sanitized? "Do the face mask, sitting up HBOT therapy clinics really work? Is the oxygen pressurized and how does that oxygen therapy compare to the chambers? Should not be treating 14 FDA approved indication with soft chamber mild pressure." What about severe anemia? Wouldn't that still help?

[@vanweldon2402]

Any validity to the thought process of going to a clinic with a 2 ATA chamber w/O2 initially with the thinking that the mitochondria etc will open up better at the 2ATA pressure, THEN being able to follow up (or MAINTAIN) with a 1.3 ATA unit at home? I have a friend who’s been diagnosed with vascular dementia and we are looking for the best route to pursue a HBOT. A 20 hr session pkg of the 2ATA w/O2 chamber is $4k! I would love to put this $4000 towards the purchase of a 1.3, but hearing from providers that a 1.3 may not be enough pressure to stimulate a “change underway” in her brain, aka “ get things moving”.

[@BMWs100ORR]

I have a question. please correct me if i am wrong. At sea level standing outside we live in one atmoshperic pressure ( 1 ATA ). In 1 ATA pressure there is about 21% oxygen that we breath. In a soft shell hyperbaric chamber it adds .3 or 30% more to 1 ATA pressure equalling 1.3 ATA. That 30% or .3 increase in 1 ATA pressure in a soft shell hyperbaric chamber only yields a 7% increase in oxygen not 30%. In other words in a soft shell Hyperbaric Chamber the total oxygen % at 1.3 atmospheric pressure is about 28%. Just a 7% increase of what we breath normally

[@HBOTUSA]

The % of oxygen in the air does not change with pressure (whether you're at 3 ATAs or way up in the mountains). Air is 21% oxygen. It's the pressure that drives how much oxygen you're able to absorb. At 1.3 ATA, you're able to absorb approx. 30% more oxygen, because that increased pressure dissolves additional oxygen into the plasma of your blood, which isn't possible at 1 ATA.

[@chrism2794]

Hello, thank you for your content. There are soft Chambers that can go to 1.5 ATA. I want to ask you for your opinion on the benefits of 1.5 ATA with 94% pure oxygen for the initial stages of dementia. I understand you can't give medical advice. Just your opinion please Sir.

[@HBOTUSA]

Generally speaking, getting more oxygen than normal has physiological benefit. So my personal opinion is that unless a person has an absolute contraindication or a relative contraindication that hasn't been cleared by their doctor, they can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. If you'd like more specific guidance or advice, you can set up a consultation by emailing us at [e-mail]

I use it daily, without supplemental oxygen (for reasons of safety and expense) Also and randomly, my hair is growing longer than ever in my life.

The decision if 1.3 ATA chambers are efficient should not be by discussing physiology or gas laws, but by looking at double blind test studies.

[@fin-du-monde]

Hello. I've been following all your videos and I have a personal soft chamber at home. 1 question that I cant find anywhere about HBOT is in relations to heavy metal. Im assuming that the o2 will increase cellular membrane voltage, which will pull the positive ions like mercury and lead outside the cell and into the blood, but usually, in a chealation therapy, you need a binding agent like dmsa, dmps, ala to bind to the toxins in the blood do.the kidneys can push it out. Im wondering if you had an opinion on this. I'm worried that doing hbot without taking a chealation agent will swish the mercury inside my body and dump it more into the brain. Would love your opinion on the subject

[@HBOTUSA]

Personally any time we are dealing with heavy metals we would be doing a full oral chelation process along side to make sure we are able to eliminate the metals , yes.

[@fin-du-monde]

@@HBOTUSA Thank you for the reply. What would be your suggestion as an oral protocol? I'm familiar with andrew cutler's protocol. Low dose DMSA + ALA every 4 h for 56 hours then 4 days OFF, then repeat, but i'm worried that the dmsa, ala + HBOT will pull too many metals at the time, would that be too much? And if I do HBOT 1h a day (1.3 ATA at 90% O2), should I do a softer chelator, like bentonite clay, chlorella but do it everyday? Should I time the chelator 1h or 2 before I do my HBOT? Or should I simply do the Cutler's protocol? Should I NOT do HBOT on my days off? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@emeroregan5298]

Great questions. Not sure but would have thought better to chelate an hour or 2 after HBOT? Did you get any answers to your questions?

[@thomasc4611]

Dr. Sonner, you mention that a soft chamber at 1.3ATA is 30% more oxygen. However, if the user is using an oxygen mask while in chamber would that not increase the oxygen percentage further? If so would it increase it 4x, or is my math wrong? Thank you so much for these videos!!

[@HBOTUSA]

Correct adding that does increase the pressure of oxygen (ata x %o2 = po2)

[@ryandoyle4344]

My first thought as well.

[@TR-ed5so]

what is the difference with an oxygen concentrator and mask in a 1.3 ata chamber would i be receiving 93% oxygen and if so is it more effective

An oxygen concentrator is a device (outside of the chamber) that can supply concentrated oxygen to a person wearing a mask or cannula (inside the chamber). The % varies depending on a number of factors.

Agree 100 - saved my mums life my soft shell that goes to 1.5 / thanks for the clarification as many believe they dont work. One argument is the Co2 is too high in soft shell whats your take on that

[@HBOTUSA]

These are typically designed as flow through chambers meaning the compressor runs the entire length of the session and this helps the chamber vent unwanted gases throughout the session. There should not be a large increase in co2 inside the chamber if all the components are working well. Lastly the rise in co2 is specifically dangerous at a pressure of oxygen of 2.0 and greater as it increases the risk of oxygen toxicity. This is not the case at 1.3. Hope that helps!

[@straxxxxxx]

If CO2 is accumulating in the chamber then I guess this is a design flaw. All exhaled air should be directly moved out if the chamber.

[@straxxxxxx]

@@HBOTUSA The risk of oxygen toxicity can be significantly decreased by profiting from the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox. I.e. you breathe 100% O2 for only 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of 21% O2 in repeated cycles.

[@cornerstoresituations6306]

Makes me happy

[@dheanan]

So, one thing not talked about in this video, is possible side effects at different pressures. I've read studies that indicate most side effects happen at 2ATM and above. In the UK, we generally have 1.5ATM soft chambers, so above the 1.3 that you mention. You mention that increase in pressure and increase in oxygen, means greater ATP output. But, surely there's a limit to how much more energy can be produced through just an increase in oxygen. Is this limit reached at a feed of 100% oxygen at 1.5ATM or maybe at 2ATM? How do they measure the mitochondrial response? I provide red light therapy bed and full Spectrum IR Sauna in my place in order to improve cellular energy and I recommend this prior to using HBOT in order to amplify the benefits. The next step is to provide a PEMF mat. Definitely more studies are required!

[@lillylilly4518]

interesting! Could you maybe go into more detail? So you rec first red light therapy/ IR Sauna, then HBOT followed by PEMF mat? was just thinking yesterday which flow would be the best. How long are you using each and much time to you pause without each session or do you just jump from IR to HBOT to PEMF without breaks?

[@dheanan]

It's all about the cellular pathway of energy production within the cells. The light therapy assists with the third stage, cytochrome 3 production and the hyperbaric feeds the cell with high levels of oxygen to increase ATP energy produced by the cell. It is our of the other, or all right before oxygen therapy. The light therapies penetrate different levels so it's nice to mix. The pemf is just a proven option to do this before oxygen therapy.

Would it help to generate bone in osteoporosis if I did twice per day 10 x per week?

[@HBOTUSA]

Strong bone demand (weight bearing exercise) is by far the most important piece of stimulation of bone growth. But yes I think adding something like this to a good strength program would also help

Do you have any videos on hyperbaric treatment for lyme disease? Wondering if a soft chamber would work to treat it as it's less than half the price of a hard chamber in my area. Thanks

[@HBOTUSA]

Yes we have a video on lyme, which you can view here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIjamn2dhsipqLc This is not medical advice (you'd need to set up a consultation by emailing us at [e-mail] for that), but generally speaking we typically treat chronic Lyme at lower pressures, like 1.5 ATA to 2.0 ATA, depending on the symptoms someone has. But soft chambers are not able to go to these pressures (they max out at 1.3 ATA). That's not to say someone couldn't see some benefits using 1.3, but you likely wouldn't see the same results that a slightly higher pressure could yield.

I'm 40 year old male. I've had a lot of injuries in the past. Fir the past couple of months i have had low energy. I live at an elevation of 2800 ft. My question is does it make sense to invest in a soft chamber at my elevation? I have been weighing the decision, qnd it seems like building a hard chamber wou probably be best. But even if I build one it's a big investment to basically self medicate. Any thoughts?

[@HBOTUSA]

The concept of hyperbaric helping people at elevation is well documented. So that is a yes. Building a hard chamber is not necessarily something i can support. Build to specs are very specific. Rapid decompression can be very dangerous if something fails and unfortunately i have seen a few of those play out.

[@KotlinBek]

doing intermittent hypoxia to training and at same time oxygen concentrator(not hbot) through nose. is it gonna help total oxygen consumption to brain/cells?

[@HBOTUSA]

It may a little but atmospheric pressure increases the oxygen absorption exponentially more. Even only breathing air at higher pressure will drive more oxygen into our body than 100% oxygen at the surface pressures.

[@KotlinBek]

@@HBOTUSA it is too expensive for me now, I live in Uzbekistan. I'm not ill or anything. I want to try it for brain/memory/... I guess, I have to wait :(

[@inepetersen802]

Does the oxygen in the soft chamber oxidize the materials of which it is composed?

[@HBOTUSA]

No… they are not filled with 100% oxygen. They are pressurized with air so the ambient gas inside the chamber itself never reaches very high percentages

[@papercups.2236]

[@tinam2696]

I heard it is very expensive 😞

[@gr8deals2do]

In my country up to 1.5atm they call ot NORMOBARIC. To achieve good result the atmosphere is 40% O2 2% CO2 0.5% H2 It's safe, anyone can use in their homes. It's cheaper. Round 20.000$ You may stay over night in it. To miss to mention CO2 and H2 content is to miss the difference between normobaric and hyperbaric. If it's 1.3atm with O2 only then it's not equal effect to HBOT. But when it's O2, CO2 & H2 at 1.5atm then it does the job. It's like comparing apple and orange. Both are fruits. Not the same.

Anyone familiar with claustrophobia that's successfully doing hyperbaric therapy, please share your secret :) I've been trying to get in a chamber many many times.

I want to learn to enjoy the experience rather than it being a massive stressor. Thank you so much!

[@dannyd8625]

I think consistency might be a factor. A friend had a stroke. He went 70 something straight days in a soft chamber he bought. Hyperbaric was huge in helping him recover. In my case, I went to a place that had a hard chamber. I went M-W-F. 20 sessions total. I mostly got a strange feeling in my ears. Also felt like water was in them. I didn't get much out of it. It was worth a try. I know in the right situation hyperbaric can be awesome. I'd just say it's not for everyone.

Liquid in the ear canal means that your are dealing with severe dehydration due to lack of electrolytes, the ingredients in good quality salts. Liquids in the ear also means that you consume little or no salt in your foods and also that you din't know that it is essential to add good quality salt to all the beverages ingested every day for the rest of your life. Salt is an essential nutrient for anyone who wants to live a long, healthy and active life. Therefore you must salt your foods to taste and add small amounts of it to the water and other beverages ingested every day for as long as you live.

[@RogierYou]

Max ppO2 is 1.4 Bar. Max pressure to breath 100% O2 is 1.4 Bars. You can push it for a short amount of time but an Oxygen poisoning can lead to seizure. And prolonged exposure to high dose of O2 can damage your lungs. There are tables to easily calculate the exposure and mandatory rest time.

[@delightfulThoughs]

Hi everyone, excuse my ignorance, but why a chamber? If what is required is higher pressure in the lungs to absorb more oxygen, and at the same time higher percentage of oxygen a musk with a tank will do the job, right? Why would it be necessary to get the entire body under pressure? Does it have to do with equalizing inside and outside of the lungs to avoid damage?

[@Dan-gs3kg]

Very likely. You need the entire body at a stable pressure otherwise the bends or high pressure neurological syndrome

can soft chambers go to 1.5 ATA?

[@HBOTUSA]

In the U.S., soft chambers are only approved for 1.3ATA.

[@kcdw73]

why not try

[@rr4298]

Logic flaw --a soft chamber offers 98% which is 5x o2 with a concentrator x 1.3 . Why did you not include concentrated o2 in your soft chamber example , hmmmmmm

[@HBOTUSA]

I use examples like that on the other videos of course. In the case I was simply explaining the continuum of options from mild pressure air only through high pressure on 100% oxygen. Keep in mind that a concentrator is not 98%. It’s 94% +\• 3%. And when breathing that in a soft chamber at 10 liters you might be getting 85% of the 94% so it’s not going to be 5x. It’s still great but definitely not 5x. Maybe 2.5-3X max.

[@kkiwi54]

I don't understand why you need the higher pressure - wouldn't just breathing O2 through a mask achieve the same thing much more cheaply? 🤔

Nope…. The whole thing is about pressure. Pressure drives oxygen. Check out our other videos. Lots to cover on that topic!

Oxygen toxicity is a very specific condition that is predictable and can be calculated. Number one these particular chambers don’t use pure oxygen and number two even in chambers that do the exposures are not long enough to cause oxygen toxicity. I’ve done a number of videos on this topic. Feel free to take a look.

That’s definitely not actually what’s happening in the industry. “That we have no clue or any evidence” is absolutely incorrect.
