Does anyone have anything to share about using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
My husband is 6 years post-TBI (anoxic) and I only just heard about this sort of therapy a few months ago. He got the OK to start in July, but due to scheduling we were only able to get into their chamber 10 times for all of July. A few times it was consecutive days, but then we'd go a week or more without it. I almost feel like it was a waste when I read articles/narratives where people say their benefits/results came from diving every day. Is there still a benefit from a dive here and there or do we need to do it every day? (One place even suggested 2x a day...)

HBOT definitely helped my son. It’s a slow process like everything else. It is important to do it under a doctors supervision, because while we were at New Orleans we saw patients that came in from other places and had oxygen toxicity. So it’s best to go to a reputable place first. My sons HBOT schedule (from Dr. Harch in Nee Orleans) is 40 dives in 2 months (5 days out of the week) then take a break for 1 1/2 to 2 months.
I have chamber at home. It has helped immensely. I also do cannabis. I think it too helps.
