1. What should I do to prepare for a
treatment?
People can go into the chamber fully clothed. It is
recommended to wear loose comfortable clothes. Shoes,
jewelry, or any sharp objects should be removed before
getting into the chamber. It is recommended that women
not wear stockings in the chamber, for additional comfort.
6. Are there any side effects?
The most common side effect is discomfort to the ears
caused by pressure changes. To minimize the risk,
users learn to promote the adequate clearing of ears
during pressurization. Some users may feel tired
and dizzy after using hyperbaric chamber for the first
time. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy does speed up the
metabolism of our body. This can be an indication that
detoxification is occurring.
7. Are there any contraindications for
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
If a user has severe lung damage or severe COPD
he/she should not be in a Hyperbaric chamber.
Pregnant women are not recommended to be in a
Hyperbaric chamber.

8. How can I learn about the HBOT?
The most comprehensive book about HBOT is The
Oxygen Revolution by Paul Harch, M.D. This book is
geared toward consumers who would like to learn more
about how HBOT works and what conditions it treats. The
book explores the science behind HBOT, as well as case
histories of patients who have benefited from HBOT.
2. How will the HBOT treatment feel?
The chamber will be filled with compressed air. Once the
chamber has expanded to its filled size, it will start to
pressurize. While the chamber is pressurizing, your ears
will feel the change in pressure inside the chamber.
Otherwise it should be unnoticeable. To equalize the
pressure and avoid the feeling of fullness in your ears,
you will need to clear your ears by chewing (gum or food),
etc. swallowing, yawning; During the pressurization of the
chamber, your mouth may become dry. Once the
chamber is fully pressurized, your salivation will return to
normal. Additionally, the chamber may become slightly
warm while it is pressurizing. Once it reaches full pressure,
the relief valves will begin to pull the warmer air out of the
chamber. Then you can enjoy the session, meditate, read,
watch movie, listen to music, etc.
3. How long is the treatment?
Treatment times are usually 1-2 hours per session, 5-7
times per week.
4. Is Hyperbaric good for the Elderly?
Most definitely. Hyperbaric is great for those in their later
years. Hyperbaric provides an immeasurable boost which
counteracts the signs of aging. In fact, new research
indicates that hyperbaric oxygenation promotes cell life.
5. Is Hyperbaric good for Children?
Yes, hyperbaric yields positive results with children.
In fact, research with children suffering from brain-injuries
and ADHD have shown positive results and great promise.
We recommend that children under the age of 16 need to
be accompanied by an adult inside the chamber. Children
should always be monitored inside a chamber.
9. Prohibit the use under the following
conditions: Please note the following
contraindications and drug interactions to
mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:
10. If you are currently taking any of the
following medications, then hyperbaric
oxygen therapy should be avoided::
• Pregnant women and people with severe infectious
diseases.
• Patients with severe emphysema.
• Hypertension exceeds 160 / 100ml.
• Severe heart problems or Pacemaker.
• Congenital Spherocytosis.
• Severe COPD/Emphysema with air trapping.
• Untreated Pneumothorax.
• Bad Colds or Upper Respiratory Infections—URIs can
make it difficult for the patient to clear his/her ears, which
can result in inflammation of sinuses, or sinus squeeze.
• Cisplatin—a chemotherapy agent.
• Disulfiram (Antabuse®)—an oral tablet used to treat
chronic alcoholism.
• Doxorubicin (Adriamycin®)—a chemotherapy agent.
• Mafenide Acetate (Sulfamylon®)—a topical cream used
