Hyperoxygenation - By increasing the oxygen dissolved in the plasma (the liquid portion of the blood), the lymphatic fluid, and the cerebrospinal fluid, HBOT increases the oxygen available to damaged tissues, stimulating healing. Neovascularization - HBOT stimulates blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and collagen (connective tissue) formation in areas that were previously resistant due to lack of oxygen. Hyperoxia enhanced antimicrobial activity - HBOT reduces or eliminates the effects of toxic substances by increasing the tissue oxygen levels. Hyperoxia enhanced immune response - HBOT activates the white blood cells to fight infection, promoting resistance to infection, as well as wound healing. HBOT also helps to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

HBOT is FDA approved to treat air or gas embolism, altitude sickness, carbon monoxide & cyanide poisoning, crush injury & acute traumatic ischemia, decompression sickness, delayed radiation injury, diabetic foot ulcers, enhanced healing of problem wounds, exceptional blood loss, gas gangrene, intracranial abcess, necrotizing soft tissue infections, osteomyelitis (refractory), skin grafts and flaps (compromised), and thermal burns. All other conditions treated by HBOT are considered off-label uses. Many of these uses are quite commonplace internationally, in countries such as Russia, China, Japan, and Italy. However, by designating these conditions as off-label in the U.S., it means that insurance companies don’t have to reimburse you for the treatment of these conditions with HBOT, saving them billions of dollars. It also means that Big Pharma’s highly profitable blockbuster drugs will continue to be the first course of treatment for these conditions, despite their exorbitant costs, toxic side effects, and detrimental long term effects on your health.

HBOT treats the underlying disease process that causes and perpetuates a wide variety of chronic conditions. HBOT is used therapeutically to treat conditions in which tissues have been damaged by oxygen deprivation. When the oxygen is restored to these tissues, much of the lost function returns. HBOT also helps to reduce inflammation and promote wound healing throughout the body and in the brain.

There are over 30,000 published scientific studies on HBOT.

Mild HBOT is hyperbaric oxygen therapy at low pressures, typically at 1.5 ATA or below. Mild HBOT is available in portable hyperbaric chambers at 1.3 ATA with room air.

For many people, a session in a hyperbaric chamber is no different than an airplane flight. You need to able to clear your ears to be comfortable. Once you have descended to pressure and your ears adjust, you will feel completely normal in the chamber. If you are in a portable chamber with room air, you can bring a portable computer or an ipod into the chamber, along with beverages, blankets, and pillows. If you are in a large enough chamber, you can sit up, exercise, or sleep. If you are in a smaller chamber, you can lie down and read, listen to music, or watch videos.

Many doctors recommend an initial group of 40 sessions, one or two per day, for 60 to 90 minutes each, 5 to 7 days per week. After a two to four week break, a second round of 40 sessions is usually recommended. For chronic conditions, people often do hundreds of sessions over a period of years. Please contact your doctor to discuss the best protocol for your condition.

Hard HBOT in a hyperbaric clinic typically costs $250 per session, or $10,000 for 40 sessions. Thus, the standard HBOT protocol costs $20,000 for 80 sessions. Since many people go on to do hundreds of sessions over a period of years, the costs can be very high.

Our portable chambers range in price form $12,900 to $16,900, and they have excellent resale value. For most conditions, portable hyperbaric chambers are your best investment.
