Hyperbaric Chambers

every day, usually around 11am but it varies, I show up at the Hyperbaric Chambers and get to enjoy 1 hour and 30 minutes of confined, chill out time.  Yep, for 1 hour and 30 minutes, all I can do it sit and meditate, read, sleep or watch a movie.  inside of a big metal tube with some windows on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s pretty amazing actually, that these chambers exist.  Not only are they helping me, but they are also helping limes desiese patients, diabetics, tons of leukemia children, autism and so much more.  

So the jist of the chamber is this.  you crawl in, the door is seal and 100% pure Oxygen is pumped into the chamber as the chamber is pressurized. The pressurized chamber is similar to as if you were scuba diving down to anywhere form 40-60 feet depending on what a person is being treated for.  For me, I go down to 40 feet, the depth at which my good healthy white blood cells are stimulated with pure oxygen to produce more of, and to clean out my blood. What also happens is my red blood cells produce more healthy blood and so thus my whole immune system is boosted into a healthier space. all while relaxing and breathing.  it’s wonderful! the only down side for some, but not for me! is that your ears pop a lot as you go down in pressure. Since i have tons of scuba diving experience the ear clearing is easy for me and not something that bothers me. 

Every day before I get into the chamber and then right afterwards, I get to stand on a machine that is built for draining the lymph system.  Its a shaker of sorts, at least my butt shakes like crazy.  It’s kinda like getting a giggly massage through shaking.  The purpose though is to help my lymphatic system move.  I believe the theory is that unlike other systems in our body, our lymph system down have a way of circulating itself, it needs to be “moved” either through massage, exercise or this fun machine. So every day twice, I get to get my lymphs moving. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I’m not used to doing some activity every day, such as this, I’m starting to like the time alloted each day to having required relaxation time.  I’ve been reading the last couple of days, and today I slept for a change.  

When I get out of the chambers, if it’s day time I’m filled with energy and a bit hungry, if it’s night time, I’m usually a bit more tired and want to go home to chill.  Each day is a new and fun experience!
