crazy that for the average person, HBO doesnt necessarily have that many long-term benefits (obvi unless youre able to do it super super consistently and even then, i think it can have a potential negative impact on your respiratory drive due to the way we balance CO2 in our bodies) but for sick people, specifically those with blood-borne illnesses (including diabetes!) or bone diseases like osteomyelitis or certain bone cancers, intense oxygen therapy is not only super effective but indicated! VGH has a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that they use for diabetics and those with osteomyelitis (amongst other things)
Totally, with certain conditions it can be very therapeutic. And we may find there are measurable improvements for average healthy folks with more research. My hope with this post was not to knock that as a therapy, more focus on ways an average person might get more “bang for their buck” when it comes to elevating their health. There’s definitely a place for a lot of these tools!
Love this, Trilby! It’s something I think about often - there seem to be endless ways to spend money on health and wellness - so I appreciate your insights. I’m biased also, but Turf is a great use of this 😅.
This is great, Trilby! I love the well rounded approach to health and the importance on nailing the basics before trying things with minimal proven research.
