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.

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.

[@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.

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?

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.

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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.

[@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

[@HBOTUSA]

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.

I know the pressure cannot be reduced from 40 KPA all of the sudden, and I would just lie in there, quietly for the hour and 15 minutes patients are in there, but the guy refuses to put me in. I told them I would be safe in there, but he said "NO!" So that's not happenin. Which I think it not right! You know, even my Primary Care Physician thinks and told the Chiropractor that I could benefit. And the Chiropractor told me to consult with him, but when I did, the chiropractor decided to deny me access. So I'm switching Chiropractors!

After seeing the Israelis research regarding lengthening of telomeres from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, I've investigated on less expensive options to achieve the same goal. I've wondered if the LiveO2 system which increases the concentration of O2 to be used during high intensity stationary exercise (Stationary bike, elliptical, etc.) would achieve the same results of lengthening telomeres? I haven't been able to find any research in this area. DO you have any insight? Thanks very much!

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.

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

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

[@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.

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]

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?

I am currently undergoing HBOT in a clinical setting for a stubborn post-surgical wound (Achilles). It is a nice single person semi-rigid tube by BioBarica. It has been a very pleasant experience. I just nap during the session. The compressor creates a pleasant white noise, and the O2 mask is comfortable. At the end of the session, after I wake up, I feel totally refreshed and alive, like the best night's sleep of my life. I took a cheapie pulse oximeter into my last session. Normally I am 94-96%. In the session I was at 99%. The wound is starting to close after three sessions. I told the tech I felt a slight tingling around the would and in other places, and she said that is an excellent sign that usually does not happen unto 5 sessions, so I am very positive at this point. We are considering a quality home unit.

But even if I build one it's a big investment to basically self medicate. Any thoughts?

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.

[@tedkulczycky1168]

My son has a grade 3 glioma recurrence and cerebral radiation necrosis (RN) both of which are causing severe cerebral edema. He had 11 sessions of HBOT at a hospital at 2.0 ATA to treat RN until he had a seizure in the chamber when it was being depressurized. He did not take his seizure med that day. His seizure meds have been increased but the hospital refuses to restart his HBOT treatments and his onclologist refuses to issue a referral to another hospital. It appears that RN is the primary cause of the severe edema. We are concerned the edema is providing a favorable environment for tumor progression. The RN is getting worse and could kill him. We are also aware that HBOT may slow down or stop tumor progression. My son has survived 3 seizures but may will not survive his tumor or radiation necrosis if they go unchecked. Again, there are no viable chemo or immuno therapy options available for him. We appear to have no choice but to do at home HBOT but are concerned that 1.3 ATA may not be effective. By the way, on 12/29/22 he was told there were no more chemo options available and that his prognosis was ~8 months. He has survived beyond that prognosis on a therapeutic keto diet and several off label drugs and many supplements (thank you Prof Seyfried). Would greatly appreciate your input on this.

[@IdrisOh]

Edema is the body detox through the skin. Stop taking their poison.

[@bizpixvegas7651]

Check out Dr. Miriam Kalamian's book "Keto for Cancer." She was recommended to me by Professor Seyfried. Her son had a brain tumor and outlived the prognosis by years. Check her out. There are some KZbin interviews with her too talking about her son's story.

[@tedkulczycky1168]

We have the book and it was a great start. 2 years ago Prof Seyfried provide a slew of references: books, research studies, case studies. We embraced all of them. My son has exceeded his prognosis by one year now because we followed Seyfried's recommendations. However the big challenge now is his cerebral radiation necrosis which set in a year or more after radiation therapy. Radiation necrosis can be treated by steroids or other drugs with major side effects, or HBOT. Radiation necrosis can be very consequential and can even lead to death. Currently it is causing severe edema and as I noted, HBOT centers will not treat him because he had a seizure in a chamber at 2.0 ATA, due primarily to the wound care centers neglect. We will purchase a soft chamber and do HBOT at home. We can handle a seizure at home, but we cannot handle watching our son deteriorate because hospitals are afraid of the liability of a seizure, because they don't understand or don't want to bother to understand that with the proper protocal a seizure can be avoided. They prefer to prescribe drugs like dexamethazone or ineffective chemo and have seizures happen while under his families care. As you can tell, we are fed up with the standard of care, which is really a standard of neglect.
