My LLMD suggested I try one and is recommending a 30 day rental which is about $2,000. I called a facility that offers HBOT treatment where I would I go in instead of having a rental but they charge $9,000 for a month!! I told them that cost is way too high and let them know about the less expensive option but they told me the rental ones are soft shell and don't work because the pressure doesn't go higher than 1.3 atmosphere and you need 2.0 atmosphere to be effective. This makes sense, but wanted to see what the thoughts are out there. Either way, $9,000 is ridiculous!

there is a dedicated thread there about it with very knowledgable people. Don't do the rental, you can actually buy one for just a bit more. Those prices are insane, tell them to F off with those absurd prices.

I'd look into EWOT as an alternative to HBOT. As soon as i get enough money, I'm getting an EWOT setup. You can get an hour's worth of HBOT in 15 minutes. Plus, you get exercise.

I respectfully disagree that you "get can hour's worth of HBOT in 15 minutes" with EWOT. Do you have any links to back up that statement?

I do strongly believe that EWOT has some great aspects to it. But to say you would get the same as HBOT in a shorter amount of time - nope, I don't buy that based on how HBOT works and how it's pressurized. If you have any links showing before/after SPECT pictures with EWOT, I'd love to see those. (Oxygen Revolution has some really inspiring before/after SPECT pictures with HBOT.)

I'm not negative about EWOT. I just disagree about equating them like that. smile

I read somewhere where it said that. But, I cannot find it. But this article states 15 Minutes = 20-30 hours of HBOT. Hard to believe that. The author does not put down HBOT. And even mentions Dr Harch, his book, and his knowledge on the healing properties of HBOT.

I read about a man diagnosed with ALS who stopped his progression with EWOT and Ozone. I was looking into it once my 40 hardshell dives were up. I felt great while doing them. A week after I was finished, I plummeted. So, I looked for a more cost effective option and ran across EWOT.

For what it's worth I did HBOT sessions multiple times a week for months and experienced no reduction in any symptoms.

Thanks 1000Daises. I'm open to trying HBOT but cost is a huge factor too. And also risk of just simply not working (I'd be pretty mad flushing $3k down the toilet!). But I'm very tempted since nothing else is working for me.

What's the best way to facilities with a hard chamber that located near me? I live in Long Island.

the 3g's price tag for hard chamber made a soft chamber investment seem more wise spending? also have you talked to or read phiophs story ? it maybe here and lymenet i believe , conversly and anecdotally my als friend dropped 10k on hbot with no avail said bvt was the bees knees for her tx. i mentioned in ur other post maybe a rife and a soft chamber would be more advantageous for the long long race which we choose to run...
