Hi James. I assume you know about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

HBT is used by people with non healing wounds, radiation fibrosis and TBI with good results.

A friend used it for radiation fibrosis from the cancer industry which left her skin thick and woody. Such an improvement.

As I was so impressed, I started looking it up and saw that HBT is great for anything where increased oxygenation is needed for healing.

HBOT is an extremely valuable treatment . I have a three-person unit that I keep in my bedroom. This makes it extremely easy to use . Of note , I always take SOD with it to protect my eyes from the oxidation stress . Great comment and thank you for the links .

Super Oxide Dismutase / catalase . I heard this specifically in reference to HBOT . Sometimes when I am out of it , I use other antioxidants : lipoic acid , C, Natural E with both tocopherols and tocotrienols ( actually both of those better taken away from each other ).

I dread to think of how the scientists caused traumatic brain injury in the mice. How have we come to accept such casual savage cruelty against non-human animals in the name of the apex predator species? Mice feel pain, protect their offspring and each other, and share many other traits of ours.

Henry Beston said it best:

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
