TREATMENT

Hyperbaric Chamber: Healthy Or Hype?

By Woolston, Tribune Newspapers. bit.ly/suluZ

Over the years, has graced

more tabloid covers than any other celebrity. One memorable photo from the

mid-1980s showed lying in a hyperbaric chamber, presumably part of

his plan to stay young forever.

Perhaps inspired by that image, many health

seekers have climbed into hyperbaric chambers of their own. The prospect of

slowing or reversing aging is one draw.

Others hope the extra air pressure and oxygen

a chamber provides can cure their cancer or some other chronic disease. A

growing number of parents seek hyperbaric therapy to treat their children's

autism or cerebral palsy.

Portable hyperbaric chambers are showing up in

spas and alternative health clinics across the country. You can even rent or

buy one for home use and climb into your pressurized haven as often as you

like.

Summit to Sea manufactures three home-use

chambers. The Shallow Dive—28 inches wide and 7 feet long—sells for almost

$7,000. (The company's tag line is " Affordable hyperbaric

chambers. " ) It comes with a compressor that fills the chamber with

filtered room air to a pressure of 1.2 ATA (short for atmospheres absolute).

The Dive, which sells for nearly $8,000, is

the same size as the Shallow Dive but can reach a pressure of 1.3 ATA. The

Grand Dive—40 inches wide, more than 9 feet long—sells for almost $14,000.

Like the Dive, it can be pressurized to 1.3 ATA.

The Flexi-Lite portable chamber sold by

HyperbaricsRx is 34 inches wide and almost 9 feet long. It costs a bit more

than $17,000. Like the Dive and Grand Dive, it provides an air pressure of

1.3 ATA. Users can breathe filtered room air or 100 percent oxygen delivered

through a mask attached to a tank.

Portable hyperbaric chambers are different

from the rigid, high-pressure devices found in some hospitals. Hospital

chambers can provide 100 percent oxygen at pressures of more than 6 ATA.

The claims The Web site for American Medical

Aesthetics Corp., which offers hyperbaric treatment, claims it is " a

potent anti-aging therapy, " energizing the body while clearing toxins.

The site says that " children with severe autism, ADD and even cerebral
