Early on in the pandemic we dedicated a considerable amount of time to research into Covid19 and the benefit and effect HBOT may provide as a defence against it, as… Continue reading Migraine and HBOT
Emporor Chow Enjoying the Midwater I trust this finds everyone safe and well during the lockdown and extended period of various isolation and distancing in which we now find ourselves. Good news from around the word is that HBOT is fast gaining momentum as a preferred treatment for COVID-19 with no fewer than a dozen… Continue reading A story about a little fish – HBOT… Not just for the peoples
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay The lungs, as we know, are organs essentially not unlike large sacks filled with lots of smaller sacks. They facilitate the ingress of life giving oxygen to our biological systems. Each lobe of the lungs contains increasingly smaller chambers and pathways, the smallest being the alveoli. The lungs are central to the… Continue reading Pulmonary Gas Exchange / Gaseous Interchange
Image by Vektor Kunst from Pixabay Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. I imagine over the coming weeks and month’s oxygen administration may well be handled by many who may never have done so before. This might well be in the home or elsewhere. There is much to consider when handling oxygen and it seems prudent to share… Continue reading COVID-19 – Safety & General Information Package for Oxygen Handlers

Further to the short overview previously shared on social network platforms from Johns Hopkins Medicine, here follows an excerpt from the overview which is available for download here. Todays topic addresses viral and bacterial infections and explains how HBOT can boost… Continue reading Oxygen as an Anti-Bacterial & Anti-Viral Agent

Accordingly, rather than writing broken biscuits from a distracted mind, I left it out for a bit. Today however, I found this one I… Continue reading Side Effects and Contraindications
Image by CRAIG D from Pixabay CO2 Scrubbers Following Last week's excerpt from the training and ops manual on carbon dioxide, we round that off with an excerpt from the chapter covering support and allied equipment. Specifically, CO2 scrubbers, or sinks as they are also known. Gas management is the name of the game in all things diving… Continue reading Carbon Dioxide Management in Confined Atmospheres
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Rather an unusual topic for a blog dealing with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but one of fairly significant importance when it comes to diving breathing gas and hyperbaric chamber internal atmospheres. Divers and supervisors work with gas physics daily and of all the gasses, CO2 is among a few of the most important… Continue reading Carbon Dioxide and the Hyperbaric Environment
Image by Dr. Manuel González Reyes from Pixabay Having now reached the end of the festive season and with a semblance of normality returning to life, we are back in the seat with a short one on Arthritis. Having recently had this added to my considerable medical CV (Parody ... not an actual medical CV, sometimes the list… Continue reading Arthritis
Cumberland born, world renowned physicist John Dalton also known for his work in gas physics Having now come to almost the end of the seasonal commitments in the community, it seemed time to pop up with a final post or two before we shut down for the holiday season. While we continue to fundraise, or… Continue reading Physics, John Dalton and The Cumbrian Connection
