It may be possible to reverse key markers of aging with a therapy used by astronauts and deep-sea divers

Aging, the slow decline of function over time, is considered to be an inevitable fact of the human condition. As cells divide and reproduce in our bodies, they gradually deteriorate, and our mental and physical health declines as a result.

But there may be a way to not only delay that cellular degeneration, but reverse it, according to a study published November 18 in the Journal of Aging. This could potentially one day help prevent age-related illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

The study found that a special oxygen treatment appeared to improve two key markers of biological aging. Following the therapy, participants had a significant increase in the length of their telomeres, a compound in chromosomes that stabilizes our DNA as cells divide.

As we age, telomeres shorten — a phenomenon linked to greater risk of age-related illnesses such as cancer and type 2 diabetes. Researchers also noticed a significant decrease in senescent cells, which have been linked to age-related diseases.

These findings are a potential breakthrough for anti-aging research, according to Dr. Shai Efrati, lead researcher on the study who pioneered research on this type of therapy at Tel Aviv University.

I know my telomere has shortened.

I definitely do not want to ‘live forever’ or until I’m say, 150 y/o. No thanks. However, I wouldn’t mind getting my feet and joints back to being as flexible and useful as when I was in my 30’s. Just like with a car, the parts begin to wear out over time.

I’d like to test treatments that make you live for 1000 years. And that’s for starters.

okay..so what’s an equivalent you can do at home that might help since most people dont have Michael Jackson money for the $100k cost.

as per internet

Side effects and possible complications of HBOT
Lung damage.
Fluid buildup or bursting (rupture) of the middle ear.
Sinus damage.
Changes in vision, causing nearsightedness, or myopia.
Oxygen poisoning, which can cause lung failure, fluid in the lungs, or seizures.

I have heard of this treatment for burn victims as well.
It takes a focused mind and a stiff upper lip to work in any Burn Ward. I’d be the first to admit, I don’t have what it takes for that very important kind of work.
I don’t usually do well seeing unending suffering hours on end. A professional can block that out and assist the patient.

the ones that guy used are affordable but require a script.

I know the price sounds high but if you are in a lot of pain $4k is worth it....lung damage side effect is concerning.

This sounds like the effect produced by Tabata training, which drives the body into oxygen debt by short, intense workouts with little recovery time between them.

How Tabata Really Works.

I can’t look at a really bad burn victim. Then I feel bad. It was hard for me to get use to watching that guy on Dancing with the Stars

and he isnt even really that bad.

Didn’t Michael Jackson try this?

Here is another anti-aging miracle drug: rapamycin:

Geez, they left out:

increased chance of being struck by lightning.

All of the above is 100% fear mongering.

Yes, all of that COULD happen (except the lightning) if you have someone running the chamber that has zero training. Hyperbaric chamber operators are required to have extensive training so as to AVOID the above.

I actually train persons to run hyperbaric decompression chambers for the commercial diving industry.

If your interested in this there are some great books on Amazon. One is “Oxygen and the Brain, The Journey of a Lifetime” and “The Oxygen Revolution” by Dr. Paul Harch. Dr. Harch has a HBO2 clinic in New Orleans and is on the forefront of applying this treatment.

Are these portable at home machines that you lay in something you can do yourself or is it a two person operation

Don’t really know. I have not looked at them. One important thing to consider is the range of max depth of pressurization they are designed for. Most of the studies I have read use a very shallow depth of pressuration, Sometimes only 12 to 15’ which is only 6 to 8 psi. The calculation is .445 X FEET = psi @ that depth. Example: PSI of 30’ of sea water is .445 X 30= 13.35 psi.

The max depth which oxygen can be breathed safely is 60’ We routinely use 100% oxygen at a depth of 40 to 50’ for surface decompression of divers after deeper dives.

We have a standard double lock decompression chamber that is a standard piece of equipment found on commercial diving jobs. Its capable of recompressing a diver to 165’ if necessary for treatment of serious decompression illness or arterial gas embolism. Because of the research I have done on HBO2 When we have time we will go in and do a hour long session on oxygen usually at a depth of 33 to 40’. This is because we are convinced of the great health benefits it offers.
