(Hi Google!) HBOT is kinda interesting. There was a study done last year with the The US Department of Health and Human Services, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) compiled articles reviewing the research pertaining to using HBOT for traumatic brain injury, stroke and cerebral palsy. (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...+Injury&rank=1)

Pertaining to brain injuries, they saw that it lowered mortality and comas but increases the risk of low long term recovery.

But it doesn't seem like they had much to go by, just two studies.

But recently this year it's been getting attention by football players such as George Visger. And it's been somewhat positive. (http://www.smartplanet.com/people/bl...-chamber/1769/)

He's now trying to get the NFL to back HBOT healing by having a chamber in each stadium, and he spoke at the The 1st Annual Neuro-Recovery & Health Conference of Northern California about his healing.

Then again, the HBOT guys are heavily endorsing George (and vice versa) so I don't know how absolutely reliable it is. If the treatment only costs me five thousand, I'd give it a shot. But I'm still cautious about the dangers, increased pressure never seems like a good thing for a brain injury.

Oh, here's some news story about a woman using HBOT to recover from a stroke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5zzZJvUMHc

Anyone else got more information about George or HBOT healing?
