Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

[george5]

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is the medical use of oxygen at a level higher than atmospheric pressure.

This treatment allows brain circulation 20 times more oxygen than normal, which supposedly allows the brain more quickly to cure himself.

What do you say, someone tried that treatment? And are there researches and articles about this?

I know Michael Jackson used to have such a machine.

Well, 20X would burn your brain out.  But 20% increase is useful.  Actually tried one session.  Very relaxing.  Sadly could not afford to pursue.

You mean, on the one hand that therapy bad because 20X brain burn out, on the second hand that is good because 20% of brain will be recovered?

Yes, too much oxygen will ultimately kill a person.  That is why it is used only when a person has severe heart/respiratory problems which compromise normal oxygen levels in the blood.

 

Oxygen concentrations at sea level are around 20% and about 80% of what we breath being nitrogen.

 

The amount the body absorbs is affected by pressure.  When you increase pressure, the ratio 20/80 remains the same, but your body absorbs more oxygen.  There are probably other blood-gas things going on as well, otherwise it would be simpler to just increase oxygen rather than build a pressurizing structure to put people in.
