Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber

A Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber uses an increase in atmospheric pressure to allow the body to incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral spinal fluid and other body fluids. Breathing pure oxygen at two atmospheres gives ten times the regular amount of oxygen to the brain. In one hour humans can inhale 2.4 pounds of oxygen. Red blood cells instantly fill with oxygen and the extra oxygen dissolves directly into the blood fluid. In a few minutes, this extra oxygen builds up tissue oxygen levels far above normal. For Autism treatments with the HBOT increase cerebral blood flow and thus oxygen is delivered to areas of the brain which are thought to be oxygen deficient. With greater amounts of blood and oxygen begin to stimulate cerebral tissues and aid in recovery of idling neurons.
