Maybe Michael Jackson's is for sale.

I spent some time in a chamber for a possible scuba incident. I still don't know if I had a mild case of the bends or not, but the treatment did make my numb spot go away.

My first go-round was at night, and I was the only one in the chamber with a critical care nurse. The follow-up sessions were with a boatload of people...at least 20 or so...and some very sick (as in dying it seemed). This chamber was at the the major Baltimore trauma center, so it was a biggie. Everybody was sitting in typical medical recliners except the really sick ones who were lying down on gurneys.

It's not an experience I'd care to repeat, but if it would help get rid of this neuropathy, I certainly would. I had to say, though, the energy you have coming out of it is amazing. I was effectively awake all night that first night and felt incredible.

Oh look, I found a picture of the chamber I was in.
