My father was a specialist in Hyperbaric Chamber medicine in the US Navy during the 1950’s and 60’s. He said that operations were performed in specially constructed HBO Chambers that we operating theaters. It was found that all surgeries performed were nearly bloodless, the recover time was improved substantially , infection rates plummeted to nearly zero and the amount of anesthesia needed to sedate a patient was cut in half. Yet, the civilian medical world often rejected the findings published by military physicians. It has been almost like Dr Lister informing the medical community back in 1876 that sterile conditions aided in wound recovery. So my question is this, has the surgical community seen the advantages of HBO and at least tried to use it?

I hope HBOT treatment would be demand in medical science in this decade, I am surprised that such a important treatment procedure in medical science is not so popular which it should be .Regards 🙏

[@dawnoscvirkparliament3704]

How do we find at home units that are credible? I’d appreciate any advice . Any that are fda approved also

[@tedoneill9429]

As a free-standing hyperbaric center owner, I'm always amazed at the outcomes we get including surgery recovery. One can only speculate that it's limited use in mainstream has something to do with money! lol Every ER in this country should have HBOT and every surgery protocol should include it. Dawn, mHBOT is FDA approved for altitude sickness but FDA approval shouldn't be the litmus test for any condition. The max pressure is 1.3ATA for most units and O2 is 28% (I believe). Certainly not the same as hard-shell but it has a place for sure.

[@veronicagonnzales5424]

This lecture is 10 yrs old. Things have changed and HBOT is being used and implemented for more disorders now.

[@brianjames3753]

Hyperbaric chamber treatment is very expensive!!! I’m seriously wondering if EWOT would give us the same results. For about $2000 an EWOT can be set up into our homes and we can use it as many times as we like for no extra cost.

[@elitebeing21]

I pay $150 for every session. I don't think so

[@HBOTUSA]

EWOT is a great therapy and also helps with increased oxygenation. The mechanism for EWOT is very different than HBOT. So ultimately you need to match the correct therapy with the correct goal or outcome measure. People compare them all the time, but they are very different therapies. We have a short video on the topic if you want to watch it.

[@macy-pan]

If you find us, it won't be expensive.

Interesting to see that the cost of HBOT in the US appears to be about 10x what it is in the UK! I pay £40 - (us$49) - per hour here in Cambridge. Multiplace chamber - 2ATA.

[@elitebeing21]

Mind you this is twelve years old the price is not that expensive anymore

[@babybunnies]

$200 per session 6 people in the tank using hyperbaric oxygen for every 60-90 minutes and needing to pay for 40 treatments (in advance) is $4000! Being sick is for rich people! Not people who lost their job, have no family and can't advocate for themselves. Why is this treatment a basic protocol for people, it helps with mental illness possibly too! Geesh!

[@chrishardy3473]

Amin Zin This is not clinical medical treatment for real chronic illnesses. Home HBOT is low ata and not beneficial for these treatments that are also to be monitored by a professional!

Important question: In your experience and research, is separately Ozone IV therapy and HBOT safe with most young healthy adult patients with a very small intracranial aneurysm? As their is in the scientific literature extensive laboratory and clinical evidence supporting the role of Ozone and HBOT in blood vessel protection and Endothelial Cell function: Ozone and HBOT has been shown to improve: hemodynamic stress, hazardous NOS activity, endothelial cell function, oxidative stress, is vasoprotective, anti inflammatory, lowers blood pressure and has vasodilatory properties. Would love to please hear your scientific opinion. Thank you very much for your time!

[@HyperbaricAir]

I was willing to give a pass at @3:03 when she said "several hundred times more oxygen", but when she said it again at @4:50, I have to call her out. No, you are NOT getting anywhere close to several hundred "times" more oxygen. You are breathing in at most 10 times more oxygen (1000%), and at most your body is getting around 54% more oxygen inside the organs and tissues duo to the O2 carrying capacity of blood plasma, even under pressure. Maybe she means "several hundred percent more" but that is not what she keeps saying. So much wrong behind the theory. But that does nothing to take away from it's effectiveness. It absolutely is effective!

Hello I am looking into having a personal hyperbaric chamber for general health reasons. I'm in good health and 36 years old. How often should I use my device so as to not over use it?

[@drbleachers]

+WideOpenChange once a day...6 days a week...no more than 90-120 minutes each treatment.

[@HyperbaricAir]

No such thing as over use, unless you are using pure oxygen. I suppose if you go way over 3 ATM pressure with just air, then you may also experience some hyperoxia.

[@elitebeing21]

The max I heard from my doctor is an hour then a hour break then go back in for another hour. And you cab do that all day

[@rethinkscience8454]

The human body was designed to live in a higher atmospheric pressure environment with a higher level of oxygen. The earth was once had a smaller diameter before Noah’s flood. During the world wide flood it was expanded, causing a thinner atmosphere and a lower oxygen Level of which we have today. This introduced sickness and a reduce life span for all land based animal. Ocean creature were less effected as they still are the larges creatures on earth with some of the oldest life spans, all due to them living in a higher atmospheric pressure.

[@WhateverWhateverwtghvh]

so what you are saying is, it could help for anything?

[@hyperbarichealthspa6800]

Ther is one more, comfortable way to oxygenate our cells. Normobaric World offers therapies in oxygen cabins. The first of that type in North America! The cabin is a medium-size room where oxygen concentration reaches approx. 40% (a double amount that in ambient air). Moreover, the pressure inside the cabin is 1.5 ATA, allowing complete tissue oxygenation. The increase in pressure allows for better oxygenation of all tissues, and more efficient oxygen intake and usage. To achieve tissue oxygenation the concentration of oxygen must be higher than in ambient air. This atmosphere you can experience in Normobaric World. The important beneficial effect of staying in the Normobaric cabin is the increased stem cell creation and circulation in the blood. These stem cells can transform into any other body cell. Therefore, there is a chance for the body to receive complete, natural, deep regeneration and recovery.

what are the possible needs for Autism which necessitate HBOT provision? what are your recommendations here.

[@HBOTUSA]

The research shows that many children with ASD have hypo-perfusion to the temporal lobe of their brain. Also typically have above normal inflammatory cytokine counts. HBOT would improve oxygenation to the brain and help lower inflammatory chemicals in those cases.
