Interesting but I hope I don't develop any chronic issues as all of the acute ones have resolved themselves nicely.

have heard a lot about these treatments and their necessity and their effectiveness especially to head and neck cancer patients. so glad this is available and hope it becomes more widespread as i hear it is very hard to find a treatment facility in some locations. we have a facility in seattle, that i hear even people from california travel to, as there are none there (or were none - this may have changed by now)

SPEAKING OF WHICH

if anyone from this list ever has to travel to seattle for these treatments - i am more than happy to consider them for free room and board in my home through the treatment. i have a twin bed and a private room you would be welcome to stay in for the 30-40 treatments needed. you would just need to arrange transportation to the facility - which is about 45 miles from my home... this would be a rental car expense most likely but at least no hotel charges. i would include your dinner meal with my offer - we eat healthy / whole food and i am not a bad cook LOL

just thought i would mention that in case it is ever needed.

May I suggest a great book about HBO. The Oxygen Revolution by Paul G. Harch., and Virginia McCullough ISBN 978-1-57826-237-3.
Interesting sites on the subject are www.hbotoday.com. and www.oxytherapy.com. Otto Warburg,M.D. published a lot on cancer and oxygen. He was given the Nobel prize in medicine two times and nominated a third.
I have done 40 dives in my cancer treatments and not related to radiation which I have refused during my 10 year journey.

We've had many discussions about HBO for prevention of ORN and it's necessity for any kind of dental work involving implants or extractions.

Here is a link to many articles.

See http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/searchresults.htm?cx=015422755131303034108%3Ao3fylifwmag&cof=FORID%3A11&q=HBO#718

Otto Warburg is listed in Quackwatch See

Oxygenation therapy should not be confused with HBO. They are different things.
