Hyperbaric Chambers and Therapy

[Guest guest]

As I magically invented a highly oxygenated room last night on ship

for our party, where our supplemental oxygen wasn't necessary, it did

make me think about the real possibilities, even those that sound

quite far-fetched. Now the nearest I know to something of that nature

is a Hyperbaric Chamber.

Has anyone here ever been in or used one? I only became aware of them

because of athletes using them to aid in recovery from injury. You

might find this link interesting:

Basically the theory is one we all know and that is that all of our

body needs oxygen. Taken a step further it is that oxygen fuels our

body but also supports our immune system. Now that brings us to

another chicken/egg issue-is the link between PF and Autoimmune

diseases the autoimmune disease causing PF or could it be the oxygen

shortage leading to autoimmune diseases or a common cause for each.

Some of the basics of the chamber theories:

1. What is Mild Hyperbaric Therapy?

-Mild Hyperbaric Therapy (HBT) is a safe method of delivering more

oxygen to the body at the cellular level.

nHBT provides the optimal environment for the body to carry out vital

cell processes, thereby increasing the capacity for the body to heal

itself.

-HBT utilizes filtered pressurized ambient air to dissolve oxygen

directly into the plasma, cerebral and spinal fluids, flooding

tissues and vital organs with oxygen.

-Mild Hyperbaric Therapy allows for healing at the cellular level,

which is critical for changes to be made which in turn affect healthy

tissue formation, making it possible for healthier organs and

ultimately a healthier body overall.

And as to how or why it is purported to work:

How does it work?

-The mild hyperbaric chamber is filled with compressed ambient air

from 2 to 4.5 pounds per square inch. (1.3 ATA max) This is the

equivalent of 11 feet below sea level.

-The increased pressure allows the blood plasma and other liquids of

the body to absorb additional oxygen thus greatly increasing oxygen

uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of

the body.

-The resulting uptake of oxygen allows for increased circulation to

areas with swelling or inflammation. At the same time, the increased

pressure decreases swelling and inflammation.

-Oxygen is then utilized by the body for vital cell functions,

healthier cells equals healthier tissues, and organs.

-The human body is capable of healing itself when it has what it

needs. There is NOTHING the human body needs more than OXYGEN.

I just found it interesting. First to note the need of our entire

body. Obviously, we all know there in nothing needed more than

oxygen. Second, just the concept that, who knows, as magical and

imaginary as my room last night was, maybe there potentially will be

some forms of comfort rooms possible where the air is filled with a

higher percentage of oxygen and we're able to just relax and enjoy

for periods of time. Oh, it may sound all space age, but hold it we

long ago did enter the space age. I still have to remind myself that

the majority of people alive today have never lived in a period in

which man wasn't flying in outer space.

Jeff, Wouldn't it be great if this could

really become available to us?

Bruce , you may have just been brain

storming the idea and it may be possible!!!

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction!

Happy New Year to the Thinkers!!!!

At Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City we just installed a

6-8 person room that does this. It is the only one of its kind in the

United States, the other one is in Australia. They even have a bathroom

in in them. There will be studies on this very subject that they will

be doing. I will keep you posted as they get results.
