As a multiple chamber owner I am working on several case studies from neuropathy neurology stroke autism athletes scleraderma mold cancer psa levels,.. non verbal autism saying words for the first time.. these chambers are changing lives
@@Horse237 you need to check with the manufacturer of the pacemaker to make sure the device is rated for pressure exposure and to what pressure it is tested.
For how long have you used it? My wife has multiple sclerosis, stable, but she is fatigued all the time! The MS specialist looks at the brain MRI and says she is stable.
I used one for about 3 sessions. I'm 46 and practice MMA and some weight lifting. It took away all muscular pain or discomfort just in 1 session. I had a deep shoulder and ancle pain and the recovery was immediate. Also, it did not return, which is great.
I have been doing soft chamber HBOT daily for the past 14 days following surgery for wound healing. One of the benefits I have experienced is relief from my chronic lower back pain. Amazing!
I just received my soft chamber of 1.3 ata. I am 61 yo, after getting treatment of only 6 session (75 minutes each), i can feel my cognitive performance increases and have more energy. Also I noticed all my muscle painful gone. It seems mild HBOT really accelerate recovery of my soft tissue and inflammation, definitely works on my body..
I had an accident (downhill running) and payed 40 sessions of 1.50h of 1.5-2.0 ATA to heal my osteonecrosis (prooved by mrt 8 weeks later). It was expensive and I had to drive 6 weeks (with a break after 4 weeks) long about 3h dayly to get the treatment, but happy about the result.
It's all new to me and I am learning a lot. I love your honest common sense approach. I don't know all about this subject, yet I understand the benefits and potential for the physical body. But I love that attitude you laid down man, that's a remedy for a world gone mad and a narcissistic generation in dire trouble, under stress and very confused. Great ... in every way ! Thank you
I have used HBOT twice a month before I recently purchased a Vitaries 320 with oxygen concentrator and cooler. I am now 5 days on 2 days off for 1 hour each session at home. This protocol in that soft-sided chamber has unquestionably resulted in improved tissue oxygenation in my body. I have noticed substantial improved performance, better overall health, and general wellness. And I can cite real-world practical examples as proof. This in just 2 weeks' time. ...Wow! Yes. Absolutely, they work. And work well. I am sure the best benefits are yet to come, too.
Hey Papa, … how much did the unit cost? Any additional costs for attachments? Overall how much did you spend? My father has Diabetic Ulcers and I’m considering getting one for him.
Soft chamber HBOT stopped my daily migraines within 2 sessions. It also took away my shoulder pain from a partial torn rotator cuff within 4 sessions. It gave me a lot more energy, mental clarity, helped me with anxiety, gives me hope and a positive attitude, makes my skin glow for an hour after I'm out of the HBOT, and just makes me a more positive and energetic person. I've NEVER tried the hard chamber, but the soft chamber is giving me so many benefits and its so much cheaper than the hard chamber that I'll probably just keep using the soft chamber.
So, one thing not talked about in this video, is possible side effects at different pressures. I've read studies that indicate most side effects happen at 2ATM and above. In the UK, we generally have 1.5ATM soft chambers, so above the 1.3 that you mention. You mention that increase in pressure and increase in oxygen, means greater ATP output. But, surely there's a limit to how much more energy can be produced through just an increase in oxygen. Is this limit reached at a feed of 100% oxygen at 1.5ATM or maybe at 2ATM? How do they measure the mitochondrial response? I provide red light therapy bed and full Spectrum IR Sauna in my place in order to improve cellular energy and I recommend this prior to using HBOT in order to amplify the benefits. The next step is to provide a PEMF mat. Definitely more studies are required!
interesting! Could you maybe go into more detail? So you rec first red light therapy/ IR Sauna, then HBOT followed by PEMF mat? was just thinking yesterday which flow would be the best. How long are you using each and much time to you pause without each session or do you just jump from IR to HBOT to PEMF without breaks?
It's all about the cellular pathway of energy production within the cells. The light therapy assists with the third stage, cytochrome 3 production and the hyperbaric feeds the cell with high levels of oxygen to increase ATP energy produced by the cell. It is our of the other, or all right before oxygen therapy. The light therapies penetrate different levels so it's nice to mix. The pemf is just a proven option to do this before oxygen therapy.
I have gotten the bends from my dive experience in the Air Force dive chamber at -65 ft where we came up to soon even after 2 decompression stops. They can be dangerous, they didn't pay me hazardous duty money for nothing.
Another expert said that at 2 atm your blood absorbs so much oxygen it could supply the body even if you didn't have any blood cells. So this is where the function of the dissolved pure oxygen starts to surpass the blood cell oxygen. Maybe it means that the blood is no longer the highest O2 pressure but the plasma between cells is saturated.
There is NO reliable evidence to support the use of HBOT in cancer treatment. Furthermore, there IS evidence that potential side effects of hyperbaric medicine pose an unjustified risk in such cases.
I have a soft hyperbaric oxygen chamber at home. It has a 1.3 ATA (4 psi) operating pressure. I'm hoping it will reduce my diabetic neuropathy. My plan is 1 hour a day usage starting today. I'll keep y'all informed.
Thank you for posting this video. I am renting a soft HBOT and heard that some say it doesn’t work but my instinct told me that the pressure is there and that the oxygen is there and so it’s got to be better than just breathing regular air!!! Common sense 🤦🏽♀️but yes of course a stronger one will give you faster results but like you said it all depends on what you’re trying to treat. 🤷🏽♀️
Mild Hbot saved my bacon, I suffered badly from long covid for 3 months. After just a couple of sessions, I was as good as new. It was the only thing I could figure might help, and I was desperate, so I tried it, and wow, what a miracle.
Thank you so much for this information I’m a retired teacher with a retina disease and I could not really understand the price difference between all of the different clinics so I’ve been doing my own research and this is very helpful 10:38
Having been an Altitude Chamber Tech and Hyperbolic Chamber Technician Air Force 1965 to 1969.Being a medic first we used the "dive chamber" to cure gas gangrene patients, perform surgery at 65 ft down to enrich oxygen to kill germs under surgery. Having got out in 69 there were no jobs in the NYC area. But your statement that it's been around for 300 yrs, I have to call you out on that. I don't think people were diving in subs during the Revolutionary War.
The first documented use of hyperbaric medical therapy was in 1662 by Henshaw, a British physician who placed patients in a container with pressurized air. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8465921/
Quite the experiences you have had. Sounds pretty incredible. Just for the record, the first clinical hyperbaric chambers recorded in 1662 by Henshaw in Europe. So that’s where that number comes from. But I appreciate your comments. I hope you enjoy the videos.
On September 6, 1776, the first functioning submarine, called the Turtle, attacked the HMS Eagle anchored in New York Harbor. Designed by Saybrook native and Yale graduate David Bushnell, the Turtle was a one-man vessel that submerged by admitting water into the hull and surfaced by pumping it out by hand.
I bought one because I live with autism and tbi. Can't say I've noticed a difference on that score, but HOLY COW, what great things it's done to curb my osteo arthritis and relieve symptoms secondary to stenosis of the cervical spine! I haven't needed a cortisone shot in years, and no longer take daily NSAIDS. I use it daily, without supplemental oxygen (for reasons of safety and expense) Also and randomly, my hair is growing longer than ever in my life. I have no idea what that's about, but presume hair follicles like the extra air.
The decision if 1.3 ATA chambers are efficient should not be by discussing physiology or gas laws, but by looking at double blind test studies. To the best of my knowledge consistent statistically significant results were reached only above 1.9 ATA. At 1.3 ATA the results were not conclusive. I will try to cite the meta analysis lateron.
Why did he just ring a bell in my head. As he was talking I could see that equate 0.3 is 30% as I was looking at the 1.3 text in this video. I knew that but did not understand it till just now. I can know something by hearing. I repeat & remember stuff verbatim but have no idea what I am talking about. I learn by visually seeing things, either written or I my head. This is a good video because its auditory, visual, & he speaks very clear without a lot of unnecessary gibberish vocabularies. Lik me,lol
I initially got HBOT (20 hours at 2.8 ATA, 100% O2) for a torn muscle that led to a frozen shoulder. Those 20 hours cleared it up in two weeks, when PT and other therapy hadn't fixed it in a year. More recently, my soft chamber with an O2 concentrator has been lifesaving when dealing with the sleep deprivation caused by small triplets.
Dr. Sonner, you mention that a soft chamber at 1.3ATA is 30% more oxygen. However, if the user is using an oxygen mask while in chamber would that not increase the oxygen percentage further? If so would it increase it 4x, or is my math wrong? Thank you so much for these videos!!
Hard chambers will get you results FASTER (higher pressure), but soft chambers work fine -- you just use them longer. they're better for long-term use and preventative maintenance. You use a hard chamber when you need help ASAP (decompression sickness, etc...).
Does the soft chamber oxygen hyperbaric help treat brain damage for children after drowning and loss of consciousness? Thanks, and do you use the mask inside the soft chamber
It has been used anecdotally for this over the years yes. Generally speaking patients have seen good results and the use of masks depend on the case. This is obviously a very delicate situation and I have to recommend that someone in this case needs to consult with their Dr or with someone who specializes in this type of treatment. I cannot give advice on this through this channel
I felt so much better in a soft chamber for $30 per session. There's another place near me charging charging $400 per session for hard chamber. I highly doubt a hard chamber is that much better to be honest. I'd rather go the cheaper right more times. Thank you for your video!
Agree 100 - saved my mums life my soft shell that goes to 1.5 / thanks for the clarification as many believe they dont work. One argument is the Co2 is too high in soft shell whats your take on that
These are typically designed as flow through chambers meaning the compressor runs the entire length of the session and this helps the chamber vent unwanted gases throughout the session. There should not be a large increase in co2 inside the chamber if all the components are working well. Lastly the rise in co2 is specifically dangerous at a pressure of oxygen of 2.0 and greater as it increases the risk of oxygen toxicity. This is not the case at 1.3. Hope that helps!
@@HBOTUSA The risk of oxygen toxicity can be significantly decreased by profiting from the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox. I.e. you breathe 100% O2 for only 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of 21% O2 in repeated cycles.
Any validity to the thought process of going to a clinic with a 2 ATA chamber w/O2 initially with the thinking that the mitochondria etc will open up better at the 2ATA pressure, THEN being able to follow up (or MAINTAIN) with a 1.3 ATA unit at home? I have a friend who’s been diagnosed with vascular dementia and we are looking for the best route to pursue a HBOT. A 20 hr session pkg of the 2ATA w/O2 chamber is $4k! I would love to put this $4000 towards the purchase of a 1.3, but hearing from providers that a 1.3 may not be enough pressure to stimulate a “change underway” in her brain, aka “ get things moving”. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thx for what you do!
@@liamc7097 My point is you worry too much, there are lots of examples of higher pressure and there is no problem, for example the deepest free dive is 330m = 33 ATA. The Hyperbaric tank is only 1.3-3ATA.
I doubt it would greatly increase superoxide. You would still be using a low amount of oxygen compared to exercise or sauna. The difference should be that more oxygen would be getting into small blood vessels, blood vessels where there is some resistance to flow, and tissues that oxygenate poorly like cartilage, and bone. And I disagree that if there was much more superoxide, that, that would be beneficial. If there is not a balance between superoxide dismutase and superoxide, a great deal of damage could result. But, like I said, I don't think that is what is happening.
My doctor prescribed 40 times hyperbaric chamber for my osteomyelitis in the heel. I did 8x by now, so I have long ride...or dive. It is soft chamber but they start with the 100% oxygen, I have a 10 minutes break to breeth normal air trough the mask...So far so good but now I am not sure if the soft chamber is for my illness
As one who has a background in welding fabrication and inspection of pressure vessels for the oil field, as well being raised scuba diving; I'm really interested in building my own hard chamber. What would the benefits/precautions be of being in a chamber at the higher pressures with atmospheric air?
It’s much more affordable today. I work at a facility you can buy 10 visits for less than $500 that’s a really good deal for the value. Let’s face how much we spend on supplements, fitness, organic foods, etc. I think it’s a good value for your health
@@rachaelvaccaro3420 Where are you located? In Vegas they want $80 per hour/session for soft chamber if you buy 12 session package. I have cancer so they recommend 2.4-2.5 ATA for the protocol I am following. My local hard shell goes up to 2.2 and hey want $150/session for a 20 session package. This thing gets real expensive.
Apart from using HBOT for decompression sickness, any other health benefits are untested and unproven. The guy says so himself in the introduction! THAT'S the main reason it is 'not fully utilised'!
Please, please recommend a make and model! And, ones that are user friendly for the limited mobility elderly. I need to get one soon for my boyfriend who is really suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and lower extremity edema and wounds.
I have a question. please correct me if i am wrong. At sea level standing outside we live in one atmoshperic pressure ( 1 ATA ). In 1 ATA pressure there is about 21% oxygen that we breath. In a soft shell hyperbaric chamber it adds .3 or 30% more to 1 ATA pressure equalling 1.3 ATA. That 30% or .3 increase in 1 ATA pressure in a soft shell hyperbaric chamber only yields a 7% increase in oxygen not 30%. In other words in a soft shell Hyperbaric Chamber the total oxygen % at 1.3 atmospheric pressure is about 28%. Just a 7% increase of what we breath normally
The % of oxygen in the air does not change with pressure (whether you're at 3 ATAs or way up in the mountains). Air is 21% oxygen. It's the pressure that drives how much oxygen you're able to absorb. At 1.3 ATA, you're able to absorb approx. 30% more oxygen, because that increased pressure dissolves additional oxygen into the plasma of your blood, which isn't possible at 1 ATA.
Hello. I've been following all your videos and I have a personal soft chamber at home. 1 question that I cant find anywhere about HBOT is in relations to heavy metal. Im assuming that the o2 will increase cellular membrane voltage, which will pull the positive ions like mercury and lead outside the cell and into the blood, but usually, in a chealation therapy, you need a binding agent like dmsa, dmps, ala to bind to the toxins in the blood do.the kidneys can push it out. Im wondering if you had an opinion on this. I'm worried that doing hbot without taking a chealation agent will swish the mercury inside my body and dump it more into the brain. Would love your opinion on the subject
Personally any time we are dealing with heavy metals we would be doing a full oral chelation process along side to make sure we are able to eliminate the metals , yes.
@@HBOTUSA Thank you for the reply. What would be your suggestion as an oral protocol? I'm familiar with andrew cutler's protocol. Low dose DMSA + ALA every 4 h for 56 hours then 4 days OFF, then repeat, but i'm worried that the dmsa, ala + HBOT will pull too many metals at the time, would that be too much? And if I do HBOT 1h a day (1.3 ATA at 90% O2), should I do a softer chelator, like bentonite clay, chlorella but do it everyday? Should I time the chelator 1h or 2 before I do my HBOT? Or should I simply do the Cutler's protocol? Should I NOT do HBOT on my days off? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Max ppO2 is 1.4 Bar. Max pressure to breath 100% O2 is 1.4 Bars. You can push it for a short amount of time but an Oxygen poisoning can lead to seizure. And prolonged exposure to high dose of O2 can damage your lungs. There are tables to easily calculate the exposure and mandatory rest time.
I have small fiber neuropathy from autoimmune diseases. I have tried soft chambers until I couldn’t afford it anymore. It seemed to be the only treatment that helped so far. Would insurance cover my diagnosis? I’m desperate
Im 32 years old, am on a ventilator through a trach, have a slew of neurological conditions, have a feeding tube, neurogenic bladder, neuromuscular weakness, and many other conditions. My Chiropractor has a Mild Hyperbaric Chamber, specifically an OxyAir 32 model, and I have a VOCSN ventilator which is compatible with mild hyperbaric chamber therapy. Well I have a lot of conditions and I wanted to see if I could benefit from a few sessions in the Hyperbaric chamber, but due to my medical conditions, and the seizures I had a few months ago, my chiropractor refuses to put me in the Hyperbaric Chamber. I KID YOU NOT! He won't put me in there. He's denied me access. And I think it's a load of garbage, because I have a great mental capacity, I'm not going to try to get out of the chamber when it's at full pressure. I know the pressure cannot be reduced from 40 KPA all of the sudden, and I would just lie in there, quietly for the hour and 15 minutes patients are in there, but the guy refuses to put me in. I told them I would be safe in there, but he said "NO!" So that's not happenin. Which I think it not right! You know, even my Primary Care Physician thinks and told the Chiropractor that I could benefit. And the Chiropractor told me to consult with him, but when I did, the chiropractor decided to deny me access. So I'm switching Chiropractors!
For seizures look into the Keto diet. This diet was created 100+ yrs ago for people who had seizures. This works wonders. Ch Dr Berg, Dr Eckbeg, and DR Boz have great vds on keto diet. Library will have books. In addition search for "seizures caused by parasites" (yep). ch Dr berg, dr ken berry, candida eric bakker naturopath, dr axe, dr group & more have vds on getting rid of parasites.
Id like to see how this would work in conjunction with water fasting on a disciplined plan of 30 days. A lot of the benefits he is talking about, can be achieved by fasting. Imagine the combined affects together for severe cases of healing needs.
@@jenibateman7262 yes even at altitude, in fact at altitude I think people really need this therapy at least periodically just to supersaturate once in a while if nothing else
How was it administered 300 years ago? How are the soft chambers sanitized of all the bacteria and pathogens it has to collect from sick patients? It seems these contaminates would be more difficult to remove and a risk to the next patient than the hard ones, but maybe it's equally risky. I watched a cleaning video for the hard chambers from one of the manufacturers and it was frightening. Do the soft chambers have the same kind of exhalation exhaust as hard chambers and if yes, how are the exhausts sanitized? "Do the face mask, sitting up HBOT therapy clinics really work? Is the oxygen pressurized and how does that oxygen therapy compare to the chambers? Should not be treating 14 FDA approved indication with soft chamber mild pressure." What about severe anemia? Wouldn't that still help?
No… they are not filled with 100% oxygen. They are pressurized with air so the ambient gas inside the chamber itself never reaches very high percentages
Thank you for your clear answer to the question re soft chambers. I have had HBOT for nearly 13 years for Multiple Myeloma. Two 45 minute sessions per week at 3.3. I am now considering a soft chamber at home. Would 10 one-hour sessions over 5 days at 1.5 give the same benefit? Thanks
@@LynneNesbit-hp9dh I cannot say you would get the same benefits, no. You may but we know that different pressures have different results so it is difficult to answers that question with certainty. The fact you have done so many sessions increases your chances of success in my opinion but I can’t promise you that. You can also mix and match. Do most at home and then periodically go back for a higher pressure boost. We have had people do that in the past successfully as well
So I bought an Oxy Air 32-inch chamber and it got here a week ago but there's still a terrible "plastic" or a bad/very unpleasant version of a new car smell (not in a good way) inside my new chamber so I haven't actually used it yet. Any idea how I can get rid of this smell? I believe it's coming from the bladder but I thought it was supposed to be medical grade materials that weren't supposed to off-gas. Thanks!
I’m not sure. I do not know that company. They should be made out of medical grade materials absolutely and they should not have a strong smell and they absolutely should be any harsh glues used in manufacturing. I’m not sure what those guys are using.
Yes, I had that same problem with mine. So, I aired it out using special charcoal packets inside the unit, that absorbs VOCs. Also, bowls of baking soda in the unit & bowls of vinegar outside of the unit. I can't use essential oils as the smell bothers me.
My daughter got an acoustic shock injury from an air horn. Instant Tinnitus and pain. She went to an ent ER. They had Hbot there but didn't think it would help my daughter so we didn't do it. 5 months later she has healed about 20%. Do you think we should do the hbot for her acoustic shock? If so what psi?
Hello, thank you for your content. There are soft Chambers that can go to 1.5 ATA. I want to ask you for your opinion on the benefits of 1.5 ATA with 94% pure oxygen for the initial stages of dementia. I understand you can't give medical advice. Just your opinion please Sir.
Generally speaking, getting more oxygen than normal has physiological benefit. So my personal opinion is that unless a person has an absolute contraindication or a relative contraindication that hasn't been cleared by their doctor, they can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. If you'd like more specific guidance or advice, you can set up a consultation by emailing us at support@hbotusa.com
Could HBOT be useful for someone with Central Sleep Apnea (not obstructive sleep apnea)? If so, is the soft chamber better than the hard chamber for sleep apnea?
Anyone familiar with claustrophobia that's successfully doing hyperbaric therapy, please share your secret :) I've been trying to get in a chamber many many times. Sometimes I'm successful for a few minutes, other times I'll distract myself on facetime with a friend and still end up having a panicky situation.. I want to learn to enjoy the experience rather than it being a massive stressor. Thank you so much!
I’ve seen people with severe claustrophobia utilize anxiety medication, always under the supervision of their doctor, but that has worked for quite a few people
I am currently undergoing HBOT in a clinical setting for a stubborn post-surgical wound (Achilles). It is a nice single person semi-rigid tube by BioBarica. It has been a very pleasant experience. I just nap during the session. The compressor creates a pleasant white noise, and the O2 mask is comfortable. At the end of the session, after I wake up, I feel totally refreshed and alive, like the best night's sleep of my life. I took a cheapie pulse oximeter into my last session. Normally I am 94-96%. In the session I was at 99%. The wound is starting to close after three sessions. I told the tech I felt a slight tingling around the would and in other places, and she said that is an excellent sign that usually does not happen unto 5 sessions, so I am very positive at this point. We are considering a quality home unit.
I think consistency might be a factor. A friend had a stroke. He went 70 something straight days in a soft chamber he bought. Hyperbaric was huge in helping him recover. In my case, I went to a place that had a hard chamber. I went M-W-F. 20 sessions total. I mostly got a strange feeling in my ears. Also felt like water was in them. I didn't get much out of it. It was worth a try. I know in the right situation hyperbaric can be awesome. I'd just say it's not for everyone.
Liquid in the ear canal means that your are dealing with severe dehydration due to lack of electrolytes, the ingredients in good quality salts. Liquids in the ear also means that you consume little or no salt in your foods and also that you din't know that it is essential to add good quality salt to all the beverages ingested every day for the rest of your life. Salt is an essential nutrient for anyone who wants to live a long, healthy and active life. Therefore you must salt your foods to taste and add small amounts of it to the water and other beverages ingested every day for as long as you live.
@@mariomercado8561 great question! It depends on a number of factors, but sometimes we'll have another person in the chamber with them if we think the patient may struggle by themselves.
@hbotusa can soft shell help lower viral load of viruses like EBV AND HSV AND varicella (shingles)? Also should a women avoid HBot during a specific time of her cycle? ( ovulation or menstruation?)
Is it correct to say, that to get the same results like in a hard chamber I can use a soft chamber with the double or triple amount of sessions ? I have no health problems,it's only for the benefits of the HBOT.
Strong bone demand (weight bearing exercise) is by far the most important piece of stimulation of bone growth. But yes I think adding something like this to a good strength program would also help
I would like to buy a 1.5 atm soft chamber for general health and energy but am still not 100% convinced that the benefits are a clinically significant when compared to using a High Flow Oxygen Concentrator in normobaric conditions? I say this only because I have read a number of studies on various conditions that show little difference between Mild HBOT and NBOT - admittedly there are also studies that show superiority with HBOT at 1.5 atm although I accept this is too simplistic as there are numerous different health conditions with unique variables. Many studies assessing Mild HBOT use 21% air at 1 atm as a control group which I think is a limitation since you have two variables to consider (O2% x Pressure) when analyzing differences. Surely these studies should always use a Normobaric Hyperoxic group at 100% O2 because then the only variable being considered would be pressure and it would be easier to assess the effectiveness of Soft chambers? Normobaric Hyperoxia (100% 02) increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in plasma by a factor of approx 5.6 compared with breathing 21% air at 1 atm (1.7 ml/dL vs 0.3 ml/dL) which explains why breathing 100% oxygen at normal pressure has so much medical benefit. As for Soft HBOT, 100% O2 at 1.5 atm results in about 2.75 mL/dL plasma of dissolved oxygen which presumably means a bigger diffusion gradient in to tissues. My questions to you is - would this +1 ml/dL difference in dissolved Oxygen between NBOT (100%) and HBOT (100% @ 1.5 atm) produce far superior results in general health when assessed over 2-3 months of daily or twice daily use? Perhaps insufficient trials over time is one of the flaws of many studies comparing Mild HBOT with 100% NBOT? Thanks for you videos and your time in advance.
Do you have any videos on hyperbaric treatment for lyme disease? Wondering if a soft chamber would work to treat it as it's less than half the price of a hard chamber in my area. Thanks
Yes we have a video on lyme, which you can view here: ruclips.net/video/fWwiJgQcvrU/видео.html This is not medical advice (you'd need to set up a consultation by emailing us at support@hbotusa.com for that), but generally speaking we typically treat chronic Lyme at lower pressures, like 1.5 ATA to 2.0 ATA, depending on the symptoms someone has. But soft chambers are not able to go to these pressures (they max out at 1.3 ATA). That's not to say someone couldn't see some benefits using 1.3, but you likely wouldn't see the same results that a slightly higher pressure could yield.
@@HBOTUSA Thank you and I checked your website and found you have a location fairly close to me. I sent an email already and hopefully get started with some treatments soon.
@@TrueChristianityWithSandra Yes I'm working on setting up appointments now. They recommended at least 40 hours of HBOT so it's a big commitment money and time wise. Sounds promising so we'll see!
Can you use a O2 concentrator with a soft chamber without a mask? Would O2 concentration increase or just be wasted without a non rebreathing mask? Videos and information are incredible, thank you!
@@dirkirsche4321 these chambers are NEVER inflated with enriched oxygen. They are pressurized with air and nfpa regulated the ambient oxygen levels inside an air filled chamber to 23.5% max. These numbers are to be respected and monitored, absolutely thank you
The mask couldn't keep up with my breathing and compressed under the pressure of the chamber. So I bought two 1200 lpm concentrators and I drilled holes in the side of the air pump and ran the hoses into the pump......
@@robw.6718 please be careful. The inside chamber environment should not exceed 23.5% oxygen. In this set up it sounds like it will be very high making the chamber environment more dangerous than it is designed to be.
An oxygen concentrator is a device (outside of the chamber) that can supply concentrated oxygen to a person wearing a mask or cannula (inside the chamber). The % varies depending on a number of factors.
Hi everyone, excuse my ignorance, but why a chamber? If what is required is higher pressure in the lungs to absorb more oxygen, and at the same time higher percentage of oxygen a musk with a tank will do the job, right? Why would it be necessary to get the entire body under pressure? Does it have to do with equalizing inside and outside of the lungs to avoid damage?
We're unable to give specific medical advice over RUclips, but generally speaking, HBOT can help heal the central nervous system. Here are some videos we've done on the topic that may be helpful: -ruclips.net/video/i-YgvEK5yL8/видео.html -ruclips.net/video/aOItSzaGprQ/видео.html -ruclips.net/video/kdnsHCyT1D4/видео.html
In my country up to 1.5atm they call ot NORMOBARIC. To achieve good result the atmosphere is 40% O2 2% CO2 0.5% H2 It's safe, anyone can use in their homes. It's cheaper. Round 20.000$ You may stay over night in it. To miss to mention CO2 and H2 content is to miss the difference between normobaric and hyperbaric. If it's 1.3atm with O2 only then it's not equal effect to HBOT. But when it's O2, CO2 & H2 at 1.5atm then it does the job. It's like comparing apple and orange. Both are fruits. Not the same.
Isn’t oxygen toxic in the body under 1.5ATA? I’m sure that’s what we were taught on nitrox diving course. also if a cancer cell does not used respiration (It only ferments glucose & glutamine) how does the oxygen get into a cancerous cell to increase ROS in a cancer cell?
After seeing the Israelis research regarding lengthening of telomeres from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, I've investigated on less expensive options to achieve the same goal. I've wondered if the LiveO2 system which increases the concentration of O2 to be used during high intensity stationary exercise (Stationary bike, elliptical, etc.) would achieve the same results of lengthening telomeres? I haven't been able to find any research in this area. DO you have any insight? Thanks very much!
Dr. Jason, I bought a soft HBOT ( 1.3ATA) plus an oxygen concentrator and have been using both since June 2022, 2 hours per day, 25 minutes per break 5 minutes ( Per Dr Shai Efrati's video). It is for a healthspan purpose. I want to go to your facility for training, I can buy 2ATA for home use. Thanks! Shan
Just found out about your channel and immediately subscribed. I have lots of questions about the use of HBOT to treat cancer. I am following Professor Seyfried's protocol. He recommends 2.4 or above ATA. I do not have that kind of pressure available to me locally. Max they are offering is 2.0 ATA cranked up to possible 2.2ATA. I was told the 3.0ATA machines which are capable of doing 2.4-2.6 are only available in hospitals. Is that correct? I can go to Los Angels to do the high ATA HBOT but do not know where to look.

Can people with pacemakers use HBOT?
@@Horse237 you need to check with the manufacturer of the pacemaker to make sure the device is rated for pressure exposure and to what pressure it is tested.
I use a soft chamber to help my Parkinson’s. I have gotten better by the day.
That's great!!
🙏🙏🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏
For how long have you used it?
My wife has multiple sclerosis, stable, but she is fatigued all the time! The MS specialist looks at the brain MRI and says she is stable.
Amazing! My fil has Parkinson's, I want him to try hbot!
I have young onset PD
Can you please share what type you use and how often? Thank you
I used one for about 3 sessions. I'm 46 and practice MMA and some weight lifting. It took away all muscular pain or discomfort just in 1 session. I had a deep shoulder and ancle pain and the recovery was immediate. Also, it did not return, which is great.
Amazing!!
Did you get this result using a Soft Hyperbaric Chamber?
Where did you get this done and do you remember the type or quality of the machine?

I did hyperbaric 20 years ago and Ive never had so nuch energy in my life
Didn't expect this video to include the best explanation of HBOT I have seen!
@@tomcat172002 Do you have a problem with this channel? Tell me what is incorrect about this perfect explanation.
I have been doing soft chamber HBOT daily for the past 14 days following surgery for wound healing. One of the benefits I have experienced is relief from my chronic lower back pain. Amazing!
I just received my soft chamber of 1.3 ata. I am 61 yo, after getting treatment of only 6 session (75 minutes each), i can feel my cognitive performance increases and have more energy. Also I noticed all my muscle painful gone. It seems mild HBOT really accelerate recovery of my soft tissue and inflammation, definitely works on my body..
That's great! Thank you for sharing!!
How often do you use it?
I had an accident (downhill running) and payed 40 sessions of 1.50h of 1.5-2.0 ATA to heal my osteonecrosis (prooved by mrt 8 weeks later). It was expensive and I had to drive 6 weeks (with a break after 4 weeks) long about 3h dayly to get the treatment, but happy about the result.
Sacrifice was worth it 🙌
It's all new to me and I am learning a lot. I love your honest common sense approach. I don't know all about this subject, yet I understand the benefits and potential for the physical body. But I love that attitude you laid down man, that's a remedy for a world gone mad and a narcissistic generation in dire trouble, under stress and very confused.
Great ... in every way ! Thank you
Awesome, I appreciate the feedback
I have used HBOT twice a month before I recently purchased a Vitaries 320 with oxygen concentrator and cooler. I am now 5 days on 2 days off for 1 hour each session at home. This protocol in that soft-sided chamber has unquestionably resulted in improved tissue oxygenation in my body. I have noticed substantial improved performance, better overall health, and general wellness. And I can cite real-world practical examples as proof. This in just 2 weeks' time. ...Wow! Yes. Absolutely, they work. And work well. I am sure the best benefits are yet to come, too.
Hey Papa, … how much did the unit cost? Any additional costs for attachments? Overall how much did you spend?
My father has Diabetic Ulcers and I’m considering getting one for him.
Soft chamber HBOT stopped my daily migraines within 2 sessions. It also took away my shoulder pain from a partial torn rotator cuff within 4 sessions. It gave me a lot more energy, mental clarity, helped me with anxiety, gives me hope and a positive attitude, makes my skin glow for an hour after I'm out of the HBOT, and just makes me a more positive and energetic person. I've NEVER tried the hard chamber, but the soft chamber is giving me so many benefits and its so much cheaper than the hard chamber that I'll probably just keep using the soft chamber.
So, one thing not talked about in this video, is possible side effects at different pressures. I've read studies that indicate most side effects happen at 2ATM and above. In the UK, we generally have 1.5ATM soft chambers, so above the 1.3 that you mention. You mention that increase in pressure and increase in oxygen, means greater ATP output. But, surely there's a limit to how much more energy can be produced through just an increase in oxygen. Is this limit reached at a feed of 100% oxygen at 1.5ATM or maybe at 2ATM? How do they measure the mitochondrial response? I provide red light therapy bed and full Spectrum IR Sauna in my place in order to improve cellular energy and I recommend this prior to using HBOT in order to amplify the benefits. The next step is to provide a PEMF mat. Definitely more studies are required!
interesting! Could you maybe go into more detail? So you rec first red light therapy/ IR Sauna, then HBOT followed by PEMF mat? was just thinking yesterday which flow would be the best. How long are you using each and much time to you pause without each session or do you just jump from IR to HBOT to PEMF without breaks?
It's all about the cellular pathway of energy production within the cells. The light therapy assists with the third stage, cytochrome 3 production and the hyperbaric feeds the cell with high levels of oxygen to increase ATP energy produced by the cell. It is our of the other, or all right before oxygen therapy. The light therapies penetrate different levels so it's nice to mix. The pemf is just a proven option to do this before oxygen therapy.
I have gotten the bends from my dive experience in the Air Force dive chamber at -65 ft where we came up to soon even after 2 decompression stops. They can be dangerous, they didn't pay me hazardous duty money for nothing.
@@grovepeate3316 Hi, thanks for your comment. May I ask what exactly you are trying to say? not really getting the point
Another expert said that at 2 atm your blood absorbs so much oxygen it could supply the body even if you didn't have any blood cells. So this is where the function of the dissolved pure oxygen starts to surpass the blood cell oxygen. Maybe it means that the blood is no longer the highest O2 pressure but the plasma between cells is saturated.
Thank you for covering this. I was wondering whether I should buy a soft chamber for my home or just stick to hard chamber
It depends on a number of variables, which we covered in this video: ruclips.net/video/gp-pJkOnq9M/видео.html

There is NO reliable evidence to support the use of HBOT in cancer treatment. Furthermore, there IS evidence that potential side effects of hyperbaric medicine pose an unjustified risk in such cases.

Thank you for posting this video. I am renting a soft HBOT and heard that some say it doesn’t work but my instinct told me that the pressure is there and that the oxygen is there and so it’s got to be better than just breathing regular air!!! Common sense 🤦🏽♀️but yes of course a stronger one will give you faster results but like you said it all depends on what you’re trying to treat. 🤷🏽♀️
Mild Hbot saved my bacon, I suffered badly from long covid for 3 months. After just a couple of sessions, I was as good as new. It was the only thing I could figure might help, and I was desperate, so I tried it, and wow, what a miracle.
You are a brilliant teacher, you explained soft and hard HBO Chambers beautifully
Thank you so much for this information I’m a retired teacher with a retina disease and I could not really understand the price difference between all of the different clinics so I’ve been doing my own research and this is very helpful 10:38
Having been an Altitude Chamber Tech and Hyperbolic Chamber Technician Air Force 1965 to 1969.Being a medic first we used the "dive chamber" to cure gas gangrene patients, perform surgery at 65 ft down to enrich oxygen to kill germs under surgery. Having got out in 69 there were no jobs in the NYC area. But your statement that it's been around for 300 yrs, I have to call you out on that. I don't think people were diving in subs during the Revolutionary War.
The first documented use of hyperbaric medical therapy was in 1662 by Henshaw, a British physician who placed patients in a container with pressurized air.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8465921/
Quite the experiences you have had. Sounds pretty incredible. Just for the record, the first clinical hyperbaric chambers recorded in 1662 by Henshaw in Europe. So that’s where that number comes from. But I appreciate your comments. I hope you enjoy the videos.
It’s true, hbot first used in the 1600’s
On September 6, 1776, the first functioning submarine, called the Turtle, attacked the HMS Eagle anchored in New York Harbor. Designed by Saybrook native and Yale graduate David Bushnell, the Turtle was a one-man vessel that submerged by admitting water into the hull and surfaced by pumping it out by hand.
@@sunsetsolutions4820 very interesting
I bought one because I live with autism and tbi. Can't say I've noticed a difference on that score, but HOLY COW, what great things it's done to curb my osteo arthritis and relieve symptoms secondary to stenosis of the cervical spine! I haven't needed a cortisone shot in years, and no longer take daily NSAIDS. I use it daily, without supplemental oxygen (for reasons of safety and expense)
Also and randomly, my hair is growing longer than ever in my life. I have no idea what that's about, but presume hair follicles like the extra air.
Some extended fasting can help with the TBI and will help with the autism symptoms too.

Honestly one of the best reviews and articulation of why either work! HBOT is definitely useful and should be in every household
@@OtisDuffy thank you!
The decision if 1.3 ATA chambers are efficient should not be by discussing physiology or gas laws, but by looking at double blind test studies. To the best of my knowledge consistent statistically significant results were reached only above 1.9 ATA. At 1.3 ATA the results were not conclusive. I will try to cite the meta analysis lateron.
Exactly 🎯
I was looking for a study like that. Please post what you found
Hi, I came back here to see the meta analysis you’ve mentioned, did you find it?
You are incorrect Sir and you clearly have not followed the studies from Isreal that were done at lower pressure. Next time come with receipts dude.
There are studies in the USA and Israel that show significant benefits from 1.3ATA and even shallower depths as well
Hi, could you please make a video with details based on data, what the soft shell and hard shell will heal please?

Probably between 80-150/hour depending on the office and the city.
Why did he just ring a bell in my head. As he was talking I could see that equate 0.3 is 30% as I was looking at the 1.3 text in this video. I knew that but did not understand it till just now.
I can know something by hearing. I repeat & remember stuff verbatim but have no idea what I am talking about. I learn by visually seeing things, either written or I my head.

Soft chamber hyperbaric healed my brain fog that I was suffering for over a year after the C Rona
How often you use?
How quickly?
How often did you use it?
How often how many times?
I initially got HBOT (20 hours at 2.8 ATA, 100% O2) for a torn muscle that led to a frozen shoulder. Those 20 hours cleared it up in two weeks, when PT and other therapy hadn't fixed it in a year. More recently, my soft chamber with an O2 concentrator has been lifesaving when dealing with the sleep deprivation caused by small triplets.
Dr. Sonner, you mention that a soft chamber at 1.3ATA is 30% more oxygen. However, if the user is using an oxygen mask while in chamber would that not increase the oxygen percentage further? If so would it increase it 4x, or is my math wrong? Thank you so much for these videos!!
Correct adding that does increase the pressure of oxygen (ata x %o2 = po2)
My first thought as well.
Hard chambers will get you results FASTER (higher pressure), but soft chambers work fine -- you just use them longer. they're better for long-term use and preventative maintenance. You use a hard chamber when you need help ASAP (decompression sickness, etc...).
Does the soft chamber oxygen hyperbaric help treat brain damage for children after drowning and loss of consciousness? Thanks, and do you use the mask inside the soft chamber
It has been used anecdotally for this over the years yes. Generally speaking patients have seen good results and the use of masks depend on the case. This is obviously a very delicate situation and I have to recommend that someone in this case needs to consult with their Dr or with someone who specializes in this type of treatment. I cannot give advice on this through this channel
I felt so much better in a soft chamber for $30 per session. There's another place near me charging charging $400 per session for hard chamber. I highly doubt a hard chamber is that much better to be honest. I'd rather go the cheaper right more times. Thank you for your video!
Agree 100 - saved my mums life my soft shell that goes to 1.5 / thanks for the clarification as many believe they dont work. One argument is the Co2 is too high in soft shell whats your take on that
These are typically designed as flow through chambers meaning the compressor runs the entire length of the session and this helps the chamber vent unwanted gases throughout the session. There should not be a large increase in co2 inside the chamber if all the components are working well. Lastly the rise in co2 is specifically dangerous at a pressure of oxygen of 2.0 and greater as it increases the risk of oxygen toxicity. This is not the case at 1.3. Hope that helps!
If CO2 is accumulating in the chamber then I guess this is a design flaw. All exhaled air should be directly moved out if the chamber.
@@HBOTUSA The risk of oxygen toxicity can be significantly decreased by profiting from the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox. I.e. you breathe 100% O2 for only 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of 21% O2 in repeated cycles.
Any validity to the thought process of going to a clinic with a 2 ATA chamber w/O2 initially with the thinking that the mitochondria etc will open up better at the 2ATA pressure, THEN being able to follow up (or MAINTAIN) with a 1.3 ATA unit at home? I have a friend who’s been diagnosed with vascular dementia and we are looking for the best route to pursue a HBOT. A 20 hr session pkg of the 2ATA w/O2 chamber is $4k! I would love to put this $4000 towards the purchase of a 1.3, but hearing from providers that a 1.3 may not be enough pressure to stimulate a “change underway” in her brain, aka “ get things moving”. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thx for what you do!

Nothing
@@IdrisOh and how do you know that?
Planes are pressurised to 1.3
@IdrisOh no, planes are pressurized to slightly less than 1 atmosphere. What's your point anyway?
@@liamc7097 My point is you worry too much, there are lots of examples of higher pressure and there is no problem, for example the deepest free dive is 330m = 33 ATA. The Hyperbaric tank is only 1.3-3ATA.
One has to be able to AFFORD the cost!!!
Exactly and unfortunately most humans on the planet can’t.
You can build one. Buy a plastic tank.
Hey HBOT USA ,.. what is the best soft hb-chamber on the market right now in your opinion?
I doubt it would greatly increase superoxide. You would still be using a low amount of oxygen compared to exercise or sauna. The difference should be that more oxygen would be getting into small blood vessels, blood vessels where there is some resistance to flow, and tissues that oxygenate poorly like cartilage, and bone. And I disagree that if there was much more superoxide, that, that would be beneficial. If there is not a balance between superoxide dismutase and superoxide, a great deal of damage could result. But, like I said, I don't think that is what is happening.
My doctor prescribed 40 times hyperbaric chamber for my osteomyelitis in the heel. I did 8x by now, so I have long ride...or dive. It is soft chamber but they start with the 100% oxygen, I have a 10 minutes break to breeth normal air trough the mask...So far so good but now I am not sure if the soft chamber is for my illness
Makes perfect sense. Can you add O2 while in a soft chamber?

Great to hear!!
Is there clinical trial data to demonstrate where hyperbaric chambers are beneficial?
cost is the biggest reason it is not fully utilized. IMHO
It’s much more affordable today. I work at a facility you can buy 10 visits for less than $500 that’s a really good deal for the value. Let’s face how much we spend on supplements, fitness, organic foods, etc. I think it’s a good value for your health
There is nothing more expensive than getting sick.
@@rachaelvaccaro3420 Where are you located? In Vegas they want $80 per hour/session for soft chamber if you buy 12 session package. I have cancer so they recommend 2.4-2.5 ATA for the protocol I am following. My local hard shell goes up to 2.2 and hey want $150/session for a 20 session package. This thing gets real expensive.
Apart from using HBOT for decompression sickness, any other health benefits are untested and unproven. The guy says so himself in the introduction! THAT'S the main reason it is 'not fully utilised'!

How do the effects change at high altitude?
Great question! We recently did a video on this topic you may find helpful: ruclips.net/video/xKYDigemfUk/видео.html
Please, please recommend a make and model! And, ones that are user friendly for the limited mobility elderly. I need to get one soon for my boyfriend who is really suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and lower extremity edema and wounds.
I have a question. please correct me if i am wrong. At sea level standing outside we live in one atmoshperic pressure ( 1 ATA ). In 1 ATA pressure there is about 21% oxygen that we breath. In a soft shell hyperbaric chamber it adds .3 or 30% more to 1 ATA pressure equalling 1.3 ATA.
That 30% or .3 increase in 1 ATA pressure in a soft shell hyperbaric chamber only yields a 7% increase in oxygen not 30%.
In other words in a soft shell Hyperbaric Chamber the total oxygen % at 1.3 atmospheric pressure is about 28%. Just a 7% increase of what we breath normally
The % of oxygen in the air does not change with pressure (whether you're at 3 ATAs or way up in the mountains). Air is 21% oxygen. It's the pressure that drives how much oxygen you're able to absorb. At 1.3 ATA, you're able to absorb approx. 30% more oxygen, because that increased pressure dissolves additional oxygen into the plasma of your blood, which isn't possible at 1 ATA.
I get low pressure headaches…. I imagine this would help.
Do you have any knowledge of the hard shell hyperbaric chambers manufactured by Dr Hugo? I am thinking of purchasing.
Hello. I've been following all your videos and I have a personal soft chamber at home. 1 question that I cant find anywhere about HBOT is in relations to heavy metal. Im assuming that the o2 will increase cellular membrane voltage, which will pull the positive ions like mercury and lead outside the cell and into the blood, but usually, in a chealation therapy, you need a binding agent like dmsa, dmps, ala to bind to the toxins in the blood do.the kidneys can push it out. Im wondering if you had an opinion on this. I'm worried that doing hbot without taking a chealation agent will swish the mercury inside my body and dump it more into the brain. Would love your opinion on the subject
Personally any time we are dealing with heavy metals we would be doing a full oral chelation process along side to make sure we are able to eliminate the metals , yes.
@@HBOTUSA Thank you for the reply. What would be your suggestion as an oral protocol? I'm familiar with andrew cutler's protocol. Low dose DMSA + ALA every 4 h for 56 hours then 4 days OFF, then repeat, but i'm worried that the dmsa, ala + HBOT will pull too many metals at the time, would that be too much?
And if I do HBOT 1h a day (1.3 ATA at 90% O2), should I do a softer chelator, like bentonite clay, chlorella but do it everyday? Should I time the chelator 1h or 2 before I do my HBOT? Or should I simply do the Cutler's protocol? Should I NOT do HBOT on my days off? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Great questions. Not sure but would have thought better to chelate an hour or 2 after HBOT? Did you get any answers to your questions?
I do it before and after 50/50 dose, just my opinion.
Max ppO2 is 1.4 Bar. Max pressure to breath 100% O2 is 1.4 Bars. You can push it for a short amount of time but an Oxygen poisoning can lead to seizure. And prolonged exposure to high dose of O2 can damage your lungs. There are tables to easily calculate the exposure and mandatory rest time.
I have small fiber neuropathy from autoimmune diseases. I have tried soft chambers until I couldn’t afford it anymore. It seemed to be the only treatment that helped so far. Would insurance cover my diagnosis? I’m desperate
Im 32 years old, am on a ventilator through a trach, have a slew of neurological conditions, have a feeding tube, neurogenic bladder, neuromuscular weakness, and many other conditions. My Chiropractor has a Mild Hyperbaric Chamber, specifically an OxyAir 32 model, and I have a VOCSN ventilator which is compatible with mild hyperbaric chamber therapy. Well I have a lot of conditions and I wanted to see if I could benefit from a few sessions in the Hyperbaric chamber, but due to my medical conditions, and the seizures I had a few months ago, my chiropractor refuses to put me in the Hyperbaric Chamber. I KID YOU NOT! He won't put me in there. He's denied me access. And I think it's a load of garbage, because I have a great mental capacity, I'm not going to try to get out of the chamber when it's at full pressure. I know the pressure cannot be reduced from 40 KPA all of the sudden, and I would just lie in there, quietly for the hour and 15 minutes patients are in there, but the guy refuses to put me in. I told them I would be safe in there, but he said "NO!" So that's not happenin. Which I think it not right! You know, even my Primary Care Physician thinks and told the Chiropractor that I could benefit. And the Chiropractor told me to consult with him, but when I did, the chiropractor decided to deny me access. So I'm switching Chiropractors!
He wants you to be sick. If everyone was healthy, they would go bankrupt.
For seizures look into the Keto diet. This diet was created 100+ yrs ago for people who had seizures. This works wonders. Ch Dr Berg, Dr Eckbeg, and DR Boz have great vds on keto diet. Library will have books.
In addition search for "seizures caused by parasites" (yep). ch Dr berg, dr ken berry, candida eric bakker naturopath, dr axe, dr group & more have vds on getting rid of parasites.
I hope you find everything you need to help you feel better and get the right chiropractor to work with you. God bless you.
Id like to see how this would work in conjunction with water fasting on a disciplined plan of 30 days. A lot of the benefits he is talking about, can be achieved by fasting. Imagine the combined affects together for severe cases of healing needs.
Works great. There is great synergy between the 2. Just go slow ramping up the sessions and make sure you continue to feel good through the process
What if we live at a higher altitude?
@@jenibateman7262 yes even at altitude, in fact at altitude I think people really need this therapy at least periodically just to supersaturate once in a while if nothing else

NO, FASTING CAN NEVER NEVER GIVE THE BENEFITS OF HBOT. THIS IS RUBBISH TALK.
How was it administered 300 years ago? How are the soft chambers sanitized of all the bacteria and pathogens it has to collect from sick patients? It seems these contaminates would be more difficult to remove and a risk to the next patient than the hard ones, but maybe it's equally risky. I watched a cleaning video for the hard chambers from one of the manufacturers and it was frightening. Do the soft chambers have the same kind of exhalation exhaust as hard chambers and if yes, how are the exhausts sanitized? "Do the face mask, sitting up HBOT therapy clinics really work? Is the oxygen pressurized and how does that oxygen therapy compare to the chambers? Should not be treating 14 FDA approved indication with soft chamber mild pressure." What about severe anemia? Wouldn't that still help?
Does the oxygen in the soft chamber oxidize the materials of which it is composed?
No… they are not filled with 100% oxygen. They are pressurized with air so the ambient gas inside the chamber itself never reaches very high percentages
Thank you for your clear answer to the question re soft chambers. I have had HBOT for nearly 13 years for Multiple Myeloma. Two 45 minute sessions per week at 3.3. I am now considering a soft chamber at home. Would 10 one-hour sessions over 5 days at 1.5 give the same benefit? Thanks
@@LynneNesbit-hp9dh I cannot say you would get the same benefits, no. You may but we know that different pressures have different results so it is difficult to answers that question with certainty. The fact you have done so many sessions increases your chances of success in my opinion but I can’t promise you that. You can also mix and match. Do most at home and then periodically go back for a higher pressure boost. We have had people do that in the past successfully as well
@@HBOTUSA Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I shall rent one for two months to find out how it suits me. I will let you know!
So I bought an Oxy Air 32-inch chamber and it got here a week ago but there's still a terrible "plastic" or a bad/very unpleasant version of a new car smell (not in a good way) inside my new chamber so I haven't actually used it yet. Any idea how I can get rid of this smell? I believe it's coming from the bladder but I thought it was supposed to be medical grade materials that weren't supposed to off-gas. Thanks!
I’m not sure. I do not know that company. They should be made out of medical grade materials absolutely and they should not have a strong smell and they absolutely should be any harsh glues used in manufacturing. I’m not sure what those guys are using.
I use essential oils in my chamber.. JUST a light mist will work
Yes, I had that same problem with mine. So, I aired it out using special charcoal packets inside the unit, that absorbs VOCs. Also, bowls of baking soda in the unit & bowls of vinegar outside of the unit. I can't use essential oils as the smell bothers me.

Hello, thank you for your content. There are soft Chambers that can go to 1.5 ATA. I want to ask you for your opinion on the benefits of 1.5 ATA with 94% pure oxygen for the initial stages of dementia. I understand you can't give medical advice. Just your opinion please Sir.
Generally speaking, getting more oxygen than normal has physiological benefit. So my personal opinion is that unless a person has an absolute contraindication or a relative contraindication that hasn't been cleared by their doctor, they can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
If you'd like more specific guidance or advice, you can set up a consultation by emailing us at support@hbotusa.com
Could HBOT be useful for someone with Central Sleep Apnea (not obstructive sleep apnea)? If so, is the soft chamber better than the hard chamber for sleep apnea?
Would methylene blue help with the oxygen delivery?
@@goldenchild8101 it does help with redox… so indirectly yes it would.
Anyone familiar with claustrophobia that's successfully doing hyperbaric therapy, please share your secret :) I've been trying to get in a chamber many many times. Sometimes I'm successful for a few minutes, other times I'll distract myself on facetime with a friend and still end up having a panicky situation.. I want to learn to enjoy the experience rather than it being a massive stressor. Thank you so much!
I’ve seen people with severe claustrophobia utilize anxiety medication, always under the supervision of their doctor, but that has worked for quite a few people
I am currently undergoing HBOT in a clinical setting for a stubborn post-surgical wound (Achilles). It is a nice single person semi-rigid tube by BioBarica. It has been a very pleasant experience. I just nap during the session. The compressor creates a pleasant white noise, and the O2 mask is comfortable.
At the end of the session, after I wake up, I feel totally refreshed and alive, like the best night's sleep of my life.
I took a cheapie pulse oximeter into my last session. Normally I am 94-96%. In the session I was at 99%.
The wound is starting to close after three sessions. I told the tech I felt a slight tingling around the would and in other places, and she said that is an excellent sign that usually does not happen unto 5 sessions, so I am very positive at this point.
We are considering a quality home unit.
I think consistency might be a factor. A friend had a stroke. He went 70 something straight days in a soft chamber he bought. Hyperbaric was huge in helping him recover.
In my case, I went to a place that had a hard chamber. I went M-W-F. 20 sessions total. I mostly got a strange feeling in my ears. Also felt like water was in them. I didn't get much out of it.
It was worth a try. I know in the right situation hyperbaric can be awesome. I'd just say it's not for everyone.
Did you go for 20 sessions or 1?
For What conditions you used it for?🤔 also the strangers feeling in ear 👂🏼 it was only in that moment or still have it?
@@Onumero66699969 - It was a few weeks or so. I no longer have it. The feeling went away awhile ago- but while I did it was an odd feeling.
Liquid in the ear canal means that your are dealing with severe dehydration due to lack of electrolytes, the ingredients in good quality salts. Liquids in the ear also means that you consume little or no salt in your foods and also that you din't know that it is essential to add good quality salt to all the beverages ingested every day for the rest of your life.
Salt is an essential nutrient for anyone who wants to live a long, healthy and active life. Therefore you must salt your foods to taste and add small amounts of it to the water and other beverages ingested every day for as long as you live.
does living higher elevation do the same effect?
Is there any issue if we do it with tracheostomy and peg tube
WOULD YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON SPANISH TOO? VERY WELL-DONE SR.
Thank you! My apologies, we only make videos in English at this point.
I have a daughter with Autism , and she's 30 years old. However, what do you do when the patient has Autism? To stay in the chamber. Thank you.
@@mariomercado8561 great question! It depends on a number of factors, but sometimes we'll have another person in the chamber with them if we think the patient may struggle by themselves.
Thanks for answering my question.
@hbotusa can soft shell help lower viral load of viruses like EBV AND HSV AND varicella (shingles)?
Also should a women avoid HBot during a specific time of her cycle? ( ovulation or menstruation?)
Is it correct to say, that to get the same results like in a hard chamber I can use a soft chamber with the double or triple amount of sessions ? I have no health problems,it's only for the benefits of the HBOT.
Would it help to generate bone in osteoporosis if I did twice per day 10 x per week?
Strong bone demand (weight bearing exercise) is by far the most important piece of stimulation of bone growth. But yes I think adding something like this to a good strength program would also help
I just purchased mine for my son with lyme and PANS. I am sure I will benefit from using it myself.
@@bernadettegiancarlo6035 absolutely. I agree. Good lick with your sons case. Clinically we have seen many benefits in children with this diagnosis
Agree with everything you said.
👊
I would like to buy a 1.5 atm soft chamber for general health and energy but am still not 100% convinced that the benefits are a clinically significant when compared to using a High Flow Oxygen Concentrator in normobaric conditions? I say this only because I have read a number of studies on various conditions that show little difference between Mild HBOT and NBOT - admittedly there are also studies that show superiority with HBOT at 1.5 atm although I accept this is too simplistic as there are numerous different health conditions with unique variables. Many studies assessing Mild HBOT use 21% air at 1 atm as a control group which I think is a limitation since you have two variables to consider (O2% x Pressure) when analyzing differences. Surely these studies should always use a Normobaric Hyperoxic group at 100% O2 because then the only variable being considered would be pressure and it would be easier to assess the effectiveness of Soft chambers? Normobaric Hyperoxia (100% 02) increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in plasma by a factor of approx 5.6 compared with breathing 21% air at 1 atm (1.7 ml/dL vs 0.3 ml/dL) which explains why breathing 100% oxygen at normal pressure has so much medical benefit. As for Soft HBOT, 100% O2 at 1.5 atm results in about 2.75 mL/dL plasma of dissolved oxygen which presumably means a bigger diffusion gradient in to tissues. My questions to you is - would this +1 ml/dL difference in dissolved Oxygen between NBOT (100%) and HBOT (100% @ 1.5 atm) produce far superior results in general health when assessed over 2-3 months of daily or twice daily use? Perhaps insufficient trials over time is one of the flaws of many studies comparing Mild HBOT with 100% NBOT? Thanks for you videos and your time in advance.
Great video!
Makes me happy
If you purchase one of these for the home, do you need to purchase oxygen tanks? Or does it just use the air in the room?
The machine concentrates the air in the room to pump pure oxygen into the mask you breathe from
How many times do I have to do it to see a difference in recovery post aclr?
I heard it is very expensive 😞
Please advise what soft chamber you recommend? Can not find enough info on line…how much does it cost? Tks Neeru
Please email support@hbotusa.com and we can find out more about you are trying to accomplish. From there we can make some recommendations.
Do you have any videos on hyperbaric treatment for lyme disease? Wondering if a soft chamber would work to treat it as it's less than half the price of a hard chamber in my area. Thanks
Yes we have a video on lyme, which you can view here: ruclips.net/video/fWwiJgQcvrU/видео.html
This is not medical advice (you'd need to set up a consultation by emailing us at support@hbotusa.com for that), but generally speaking we typically treat chronic Lyme at lower pressures, like 1.5 ATA to 2.0 ATA, depending on the symptoms someone has. But soft chambers are not able to go to these pressures (they max out at 1.3 ATA). That's not to say someone couldn't see some benefits using 1.3, but you likely wouldn't see the same results that a slightly higher pressure could yield.
@@HBOTUSA Thank you and I checked your website and found you have a location fairly close to me. I sent an email already and hopefully get started with some treatments soon.
@@bea2ooth12 That’s what I want to try it for: chronic Lyme 👍🏼
@@TrueChristianityWithSandra Yes I'm working on setting up appointments now. They recommended at least 40 hours of HBOT so it's a big commitment money and time wise. Sounds promising so we'll see!
Can you use a O2 concentrator with a soft chamber without a mask? Would O2 concentration increase or just be wasted without a non rebreathing mask?
Videos and information are incredible, thank you!
You can use a mask or a cannula.
@@dirkirsche4321 these chambers are NEVER inflated with enriched oxygen. They are pressurized with air and nfpa regulated the ambient oxygen levels inside an air filled chamber to 23.5% max. These numbers are to be respected and monitored, absolutely thank you
The mask couldn't keep up with my breathing and compressed under the pressure of the chamber. So I bought two 1200 lpm concentrators and I drilled holes in the side of the air pump and ran the hoses into the pump......
@@robw.6718 please be careful. The inside chamber environment should not exceed 23.5% oxygen. In this set up it sounds like it will be very high making the chamber environment more dangerous than it is designed to be.
@@HBOTUSA You said it, doc....
so the soft HBOT is not appropriate for chronic wounds?
With chronic wounds, you would want to try and find a hard chamber that reaches higher pressures! Check out our video on wound healing!
what is the difference with an oxygen concentrator and mask in a 1.3 ata chamber would i be receiving 93% oxygen and if so is it more effective
An oxygen concentrator is a device (outside of the chamber) that can supply concentrated oxygen to a person wearing a mask or cannula (inside the chamber). The % varies depending on a number of factors.
@@HBOTUSA thank you im familiar with it as i have one but mostly dont wear mask am i missing out on more oxygen?
@@TR-ed5so Yes
@@HBOTUSA thank you
@@HBOTUSAis this true ? any clinic particularly with soft chamber can provide 95% oxygen at 1.3 ATA
Hi everyone, excuse my ignorance, but why a chamber? If what is required is higher pressure in the lungs to absorb more oxygen, and at the same time higher percentage of oxygen a musk with a tank will do the job, right? Why would it be necessary to get the entire body under pressure? Does it have to do with equalizing inside and outside of the lungs to avoid damage?
Very likely. You need the entire body at a stable pressure otherwise the bends or high pressure neurological syndrome
Would scuba diving have the same effect as a hbot
I have a severe traumatic brain injury from a gunshot would that therapy benefit me in Neuro plasticity and cognitive
We're unable to give specific medical advice over RUclips, but generally speaking, HBOT can help heal the central nervous system.

@@HBOTUSA i understand thank you
How many hours can you stay in one ? Can you sleep in it every night. You do need a certificate to us it to have clients ?
That’s want I want to know too.
You would be putting wear and tear on the compressor
In my country up to 1.5atm they call ot NORMOBARIC. To achieve good result the atmosphere is
40% O2
2% CO2
0.5% H2
It's safe, anyone can use in their homes.
It's cheaper. Round 20.000$
You may stay over night in it.
To miss to mention CO2 and H2 content is to miss the difference between normobaric and hyperbaric.
If it's 1.3atm with O2 only then it's not equal effect to HBOT. But when it's O2, CO2 & H2 at 1.5atm then it does the job.
It's like comparing apple and orange.
Both are fruits. Not the same.
Isn’t oxygen toxic in the body under 1.5ATA? I’m sure that’s what we were taught on nitrox diving course.
also if a cancer cell does not used respiration (It only ferments glucose & glutamine) how does the oxygen get into a cancerous cell to increase ROS in a cancer cell?
Good question. I am curious to know too. What is the mechanism for HBOT killing cancer cells.
@@bizpixvegas7651 Let’s hope someone answers this question
@@egg399. I am not sure if I am following. What happened?
@@bizpixvegas7651 Ah when I looked before my post wasn’t there but now it is
After seeing the Israelis research regarding lengthening of telomeres from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, I've investigated on less expensive options to achieve the same goal. I've wondered if the LiveO2 system which increases the concentration of O2 to be used during high intensity stationary exercise (Stationary bike, elliptical, etc.) would achieve the same results of lengthening telomeres? I haven't been able to find any research in this area. DO you have any insight? Thanks very much!
Hbot utube and different proxies
Dr. Jason, I bought a soft HBOT ( 1.3ATA) plus an oxygen concentrator and have been using both since June 2022, 2 hours per day, 25 minutes per break 5 minutes ( Per Dr Shai Efrati's video). It is for a healthspan purpose. I want to go to your facility for training, I can buy 2ATA for home use. Thanks! Shan
Is there any explosion danger when using an oxygen concentrator in a hyperbaric chamber?
Just discovered this information. It has been 7 months for you. Please share any information if possible. With many thanks...
Just found out about your channel and immediately subscribed. I have lots of questions about the use of HBOT to treat cancer. I am following Professor Seyfried's protocol. He recommends 2.4 or above ATA. I do not have that kind of pressure available to me locally. Max they are offering is 2.0 ATA cranked up to possible 2.2ATA.
I was told the 3.0ATA machines which are capable of doing 2.4-2.6 are only available in hospitals. Is that correct? I can go to Los Angels to do the high ATA HBOT but do not know where to look.
Is it a bad idea to buy one of these used? @hbotusa
Great information, thanks!
Thank you
