Low Pressure Chambers

[Guest guest]

To complement your post on the Partial Pressure issue, I accept that

you

are correct in the sense that in order to obtain an exact absolute

figure

it is necessary to take into account the partial pressure of water

vapor and

the partial pressure of the exhaled Carbon Dioxide. And the complete

and

long formula you posted is correct too, but that really is good and

useful

only for academic discussions. For a common non technical person,as a

parent

looking for a solution for his kid,in general we could say, it is

even very

difficult, not to say impossible, to resolve that formula.

What really I have expressed always ( and maybe it is my fault that

I did

not clear my point of view ) is that I work with the Oxygen partial

pressure in the atmosphere inside the chamber, it is easier to

calculate and

understand. Remember what Einstein said a long time ago:

& #8220;everything

is relative, all depends on which side is the observer & #8220; For a

parent

is easier to understand the relative increase in Oxygen partial

pressure,

from plain air to the Oxygen enriched environment inside the chamber.

So on

the long both of us were correct, we just & #8220;were observers on

different

sides of the issue & #8220;, and the real fact is that the Oxyhealth

or any

type of Gamow chamber, works, and works well, it is just plain high

school

physics.

Any way , any increase in applied pressure or concentration of

Oxygen

inside the Chamber, will result in an increase of the real final

alveolar

partial pressure ( whatever it will be, it does not matter ), and

also at

the end of the Oxygen cascade inside the body when the Oxygen reaches

the

mitochondria at cell level ( really the final burners of the

Oxygen ) it

will be increased too, as Dr. from England and Dr.

Ignacio

Fojgel from Argentina explained so well on their posts,. and a

& #8220;small

increase of 50% in the plasma Oxygen concentration is a very

significant

increase & #8220; not to say of a 600% increase.

And that is the real reason why the Oxyhealth low pressure chambers,

or

similar, are showing positive results, as in the McGill CP study,

and as

Dr. Fojgel said & #8220; a repeated minute increase of cellular oxygen

(

twenty sessions at l.3 ATA with plain air ), over the threshold may

be a

better explanation & #8220; of the results, not & #8220;the excitement

of

parents and patients may have been only a microscopic fraction of the

cause

& #8220;.

I have been able to see along my twelve years of direct HDO

experience, many

times unbelievable results with small increases of pressure as low

as

twelve ( 12 ) inches of water column, that translated to PSI means

an

increase of pressure of less than one third of a pound per square

inch. The

most probably is that you will not believe that, but that is a real

fact

and the real truth. If you want to come some time down here and

convince

yourself, you will be able to appreciate direct and objectively how

the

body reacts to very small increases of applied pressure.

Maybe as Dr. Fojgel said in one of his posts several days ago:

& #8220; the

fact that 1.3 ( ATA ) of plain air has been shown to be active

treatment,

and not placebo at all, should put all us to re-think our concepts,

and

perhaps lower our pressures. The best treatment should be the minimal

active

pressure for the specific condition. & #8220;

Sincerely,

Arturo ez-Restrepo, M.H.
