Some folks in the study were in 100% oxygen and some were "merely" pressurized. They were stroke victims. Much, I'm sure, to the Canadian health program's dismay, both made significant improvement over what would have otherwise been expected.

My husband breathes 100% oxygen while he's in the chamber which is about 95% as effective as a 100% oxygen environment and in the size chamber we have, 4 foot diameter, there is no risk of oxygen levels reaching fire danger levels. Even without breathing 100% - just being in a pressurized environment - produces positive effects as the Canandian government proved in a double blind study, hoping it would disprove HBOT for socialized medicine.

Btw, the chamber wasn't cheap - it took all the money we would have spent on long term care insurance. My husband's neurologist, having seen the incredible improvement in my husband's 40 sessions in 100% oxygen in a local clinic, wrote us a prescription for the chamber and ongoing prescriptions for the oxygen my husband breathes through a mask in a chamber. 100% oxygen at home is NOT something I would recommend. 100% oxygen is a fire danger.

Papatoony, believe it. It worked SO well on my husband in 2005 after his 3rd major closed head injury ("mild" injury) that when we had an opportunity to buy a chamber in 2007 we did. We bought that instead of long term health insurance. We have seen people who have had their lives given back to them.

I literally think it is criminal that this is not a regular AMA treatment and that insurance doesn't cover it. Criminal.

@papatoony The best way to find out if its true or not is to try it first hand.

I want to believe this stuff, but this seems like an infomercial to me!
