Hyperbaric Chamber Oxygenation Therapy (Day 1)

The entire experience was amazing. The folks at The General Hospital in Hamilton are great, and down to earth.

At first, when the oxygen starts, your ears pop a little, but it goes away in minutes. Afterwards, you are required to breath through a normal oxygen mask half ways through to prevent your brain from getting too much pure oxygen.

Afterwards, when they release the oxygen two hours later, your ears pop a little and to my surprise, the air gets really cold, like I was in some warm bubble.

I'll be posting pictures later on. One thing that I did notice, my legs weren't swelled up what so ever from not having my compression fittings on and my shoes felt good as well!

All in a all a good experience with the potential for more energy just after one session. Can't wait to go back tomorrow.


I will be posting these and much more each day after having my therapy sessions so one can understand what to expect and also to see my progression (if any).

Location: The General Hospital, Hamilton, ON, Canada

Prone to Clotting? Compression Fittings is the Key!


Those of you who are prone to clotting and have had 1 or more DVT's in either leg, may need to keep your legs compressed with compression stockings in order to maintain a balanced level of blood flow up and down your circulatory system.

Damage Done to Veins & Arteries:

Overtime, a blood clot will damage your veins & arteries by creating a bubble effect, stretching your life-line system due to the pressure of the blood trying to pass by the clot repeatedly. Have you ever seen a bubble on your watering hose? The same thing happens to your precious circulatory system, causing your legs to swell from the forces over time and prevents the blood from flowing back up your vein system to be purified by your heart.
