I think I posted this before but I forget if anyone has tried it.  Especially for refractory proctitis.  My integrative doc does it but it's expensive and claustrophobic.  I hear it's healing...

I've thought about trying this. The only thing I've really heard about them was a Pro football player used one after he had knee surgery to heal quicker and he said it worked. He also said he noticed he felt better after repeated uses. I would imagine providing pure oxygen to the body and "cleansing" it on a cellular level could do wonders for people with all kinds of issues. Now I need to do some research and see what the costs are. LOL...

I don't know how long term you'd have to do this for or if it would infact help, although, what works for some doesn't work for all, so anything is worth a shot.

If anyone tries it, please update. I'm interested in how it works.

Just an FYI - I had some damage to my sinuses during a flight and was doing research about it. These chambers can cause some pressure/damage problems. So make sure you don't have a cold or any sinus issues before you use it.

Anyone tried this? Just went to check it out at a place near me $3500 for 20 sessions
They had success with one person but that's the only one they treated there
