Pregnant women should not get this "therapy" in the belief that it will help their unborn child. In fact, high oxygen levels cause blindness. The developing retina requires low oxygen levels for blood vessels to grow properly.

thanks..

there's a lot of blind people who were made that way as a result of being born prematurely since they had to have oxygen to stay alive.
