Hi. oxygen without pressure has benefits, however when we add pressure we get A LOT more oxygen to our cells, since with pressure we are increasing both oxygen and its transport. Being afraid to dive is quite normal. My suggestion, find a clinic/practitioner who will "walk" you though the process, explain everything, etc. Usually by session #3 anxiety will dissipate and you will feel really comfortable.
How effective is a soft hyperbaric chamber in the treatment of Parkinson’s? Would using a hard chamber be better? It’s difficult to find a place offering treatment using a hard hyperbaric chamber where we live. Just wondering if we’re wasting time and money using a soft chamber. Thank you so much for your videos. They have been very helpful.
Parkinson's disease is on the list of "off-label" indications for HBOT. There is scientific evidence that HBOT, when used as an adjunctive therapy, helps slow down progression of Parkinson's. In terms of the chamber, I would look into it in terms of pressure. For a neurodegenerative disease mild pressures ( below 2ATA) are used. 1.3 ATA in a soft chamber falls into this range. Whether or not 1.3 ATA is an optimal pressure, it is determined by carefully examining the whole health situation of the patient. Frequency and number of sessions in the case of neurodegenerative disease like Parkinson's is very important as well. For more questions please send me an email info@drmasha.com
I purchased a soft chamber and it goes to 1.5 ATA. I have one hour each morning after 20 minutes full body red/infra red therapy. I am 76 with no medical conditions. I am surprised I have been able to tolerate 1 hour session at 1.5ATA every morning without stopping today is day 17. It feels blissful at times. I know I am on the road to improved healthspan and life span---maybe I am cheating I also use about 1 hour browns gas/hydrogen breathing each day and PEMF, they all work well together, no intolerance or overstimulation
@@liamc7097 Oxygen dissolves in liquid under pressure. At sea level some portion of oxygen is dissolved in plasma (although a small portion, but still) because of atmospheric pressure. When pressure is increased, more oxygen gets dissolved in plasma. The amount of oxygen that gets dissolved in plasma depends on the amount of pressure. So this effect can be reached in all types of chambers but to a different degree. It depends on the amount of pressure. Hope this helps
Hi! Soft chamber @ 1.5 atm, O2 mask, 20 sessions of 60mins each…I definitely have more endurance. HOWEVER, I think I am getting a too much parasympathetic activity (I have some autonomic issues - like I tend to get tachy easy when stressed or under exercise). While I can go longer on the treadmill and my heart rate stays reasonable, it’s kind of low the rest of the time. Eg will be in the 50’s or 60’s hanging around, which makes it tough to get motivated. Have you seen this b4?
Hi Dr Marsha, whay use 1.3 ATA generally for new patients my feeling is to use 1.5 ATA generally with oxygen generator, unless the person is very sensitive/poor anti-oxidant status- what are your thoughts on that ?
Hi! I generally start with 1.3ATA. And then depending on a person’s health goals, other therapies that might be using concurrently, frequency pf the sessions and health conditions, I might go higher in pressure. But not always and not for everyone. I guess, key is individual approach
How often do you encounter people who are hypersensitive and cannot tolrate 1,3 ata and need to do lower pressure? what problems do such people have? How do you approach the dosage then?
@@hyperbaricthank you very much tor answering. Can you give some very very general idea how you start with them? Ie from 1.1 ata half an hour? Or 1,15 ata an hour?
