Enlighten me.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
THe patent is administered oxygen after the chamber compresses. The "deeper" the chamber goes, the more concentrated the oxygen level is. For example 100 % oxygen at sea level is 100% ( duh) but at say 1.5 ATA, this is more like 200 and some odd percent oxygen,

It pushes oxygen into the cells. Wound care centers use these for hard to heal wounds. Similar to when you leave off a band aid it heals faster when it gets air-(but you don't want to leave a wound uncovered for fear of infection.)

It can also "Force" air bubbles out of your system, as what causes the bends in scuba divers.

It's also been known to help heal brain injury and to treat autism and cerebral palsy.
