What are the uses of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy?

The hyperbaric oxygen chamber (HBO) has been in the news as pop star Michael Jackson's answer to the fountain of youth. He allegedly uses it to prevent aging. Originally used as an effective therapy for "the bends" - the aftereffect of too-rapid ascent from deep-sea diving - HBO replaces nitrogen bubbles in the blood with oxygen.

Through the years HBO has also been effectively used in treatment of burns and gas gangrene. In the past few years, this device has been touted as beneficial in treatment of memory loss, mental deterioration, and Alzheimer's disease. Some slight improvements have been reported with that condition but without lasting benefits.

Patients became slightly more alert while in the oxygen chamber and also experienced a feeling of euphoria.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
