    You gotta research about ed mccabe’s work. He totally done his research very well google him and see what you think, he talks about oxygen medical therapy.

    thanks usmedstudent for posting this very important video . my dad had his big toe on his left foot amputated this year because of gangrene . he started hyperbaric april 3 , 2008 and goes 5 times a week to the chamber. youre video has been out a year and has been viewed only 4,000 times which shows not many know about this helping treatment . keep up the good work .

    Good for you! I like the way you look for alternatives for people who have been told the need to get cut or have serious life changing procedures done to them. Keep it up!

    Keep in mind that the producers of Grey’s anatomy’s main aim is to appeal to the majority of the public. To do this they have to cram as much drama into one episode as they can… so if given the choice between Hyperbaric oxygen treatment and amputation for a television drama… the alternative is obvious.

    Hyperbaric oxygen is one of numerous treatment modalities available to help speed up the healing process. Of course proper wound care also is important. This includes periodic wound debridement, and offweighting methods to take pressure off wound, etc…

    Your comments are correct and it is true. Hyperbaric medicine is a medically accepted, mode of treatment. It is accepted by most insurance compainies for diagnoses that are approved by the UHMS. I am a certified hyperbaric nurse who has seen many feet and legs saved. Thanks!

    HBOT works for autism, diabetes, lyme disease, etc….oxygen under pressure is THE healer…the healer that the FDA and AMA does not want you to know about!!!!

    drinkin Ionized alkaline water has the same effect, its cheaper easyer and has more benafits over all global healing effect. but one of the main reasons it works is because you blood is able to carry more oxygen

    There are so many debates on the hyperbaric oxygen chamber but as far as your case goes… what would have been more dramatic? Amputation or a THEORETICALLY curable alternate?
    Postscript: I found this post to be quite stimulating. Med Students kick ass. Rock On.
