Oxygen chambers - yea or nay?

After reading a little about these I can’t see any benefits outside of medical use in hospital settings such as assisting a diver with the bends and some other specifics. Could you ask your specialist or on the cancer uk site as it could be an expensive fad, and posters on there will have shared your experience and recovery journey? I’m sorry you are feeling exhausted, and well done for setting yourself a goal, but be gentle on yourself, you have listed ongoing health issues, none of which would appear to be treated or cured by oxygen therapy.

DH hired one for Prostate cancer, around £650 a month I recall.

It’s so expensive and inconvenient if you use one at a facility so this seemed like the best option.

It’s recommended one does 40-60 daily dives and then have a break for a week before recommencing.

DH combined hyperbaric oxygen therapy with intravenous vitamin C for two years prior to surgery among other holistic treatments.

Obviously it’s very difficult to measure tumours accurately on mri’s due to different angles but it seems one tumour shrunk by a third and a second tumour was reduced to a cancer free fatty lump.

We both used the hired chamber for a year and noticed two changes personally, DH no longer needs to wear a hearing aid (he was pretty deaf too after 50 years of chainsaw use) and a bleed behind my eye that was considered to be permanent has disappeared (much to the surprise of the optician)
We have subsequently purchased our own chamber.

There’s a very helpful ‘Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy ‘ group on facebook with usage and purchase guides.

Currently replying to you from our chamber hopeful that it’s going to help heal a knee injury.

Yes, I am involved with a charity that offers this and it has significantly positive impacts for those who use it. A chap I know saw off chronic fatigue from oxygen therapy use.

Wasn't there am awful death of a little boy in one?

Look up Thomas Cooper in Michigan. I don't want to post the details because it's quite disturbing. I think it's the same kind of tank. Apologies if it is not. Be careful about reading the case.

Edited: sorry chamber, not tank.

I've used one. I went to a retreat where they had one and I used it every day.

I hadn't been sleeping for months and after using this I was sleeping like a baby. I loved it. There was a man who had cancer at this retreat and he was advised by his GP to use one.

You can buy one for around £6-8k like the one I used and I will probably end up buying one eventually.
