It is not clear to me what the relevant supplements are.
Can anyone explain which supplement is needed ?
The body is basically lazy. Oxygen therapy will alter the body's red cell and hemoglobin balance and the body may develop anemia because it does not have to work at the normal oxygen uptake. Taking brakes when feeling weak with shortness of breath along with increased exercising should minimize this potential.
I have notice that the high oxygen therapy has a potent detoxing and and clean lethal affect on weak cells. Therefore, immature and old red blood cells may breakdown resulting and a temporary anemia. In time the cleansing affect will result in healthier RBC. This cleansing and regenerative affect will depend upon how is the strength and health of your total cellular mass. As Laura is experiencing, the aging process will be slowed and reversed as long as the body's weak and dysfunctional cells are replaced by younger and healthier ones.
This is so exciting to know that us oldies can avoid the moldies
On Laura's note about the knees, I've had some minor knee issues for quite a while. During one particular sequence of my usual yoga routine, they'd go snap-crackle-pop. It was quite loud and very unpleasant, although there was no pain involved. The other day that, after about 80 HBOT sessions, I noticed that there is no more loud, uncomfortable knee stuff going on during my stretching!
I'm no expert, but I think that it depends on what issues you are working with, and which supplements you're using currently. I don't know if it makes sense to make any big changes in supplementation during the course of HBOT sessions because there's already a ton of cleansing, clearing, and healing going on as it is.
Perhaps someone with some more expertise can weigh in?
The most relevant change for me during the HBOT sessions has been to switch to taking Liposomal Vit C instead of capsules of ascorbic acid.
Any potent antioxidants to neutralise the free radicals created by increased oxidation of all the evil substances accumulating in the body. The big trio is - Liposomal Vit C, alpha lipoic acid and N acetyl cystein as a precursor to gluthatione synthesis- never take synthetic gluthatione as this has counter effect. Also green tea extract like matcha is powerful antioxidant.
Iodine is mild oxidant itself however it will help endocrine function and general detox dislodging all the nasty stuff like heavy metals. Just make sure to get enough Selenium preferably in organic form.
@iamthatis FWIW i don’t think all cracking in the joints is necessarily a bad thing, sometimes there is air bubbles trapped in synovial fluid and during their action and compression they pop - well at least i read something like that while ago.
Also, sometimes after a session, we have been propping open the entryway with a pillow and putting a small floor fan inside the chamber for a couple hours in order to dry up any excess condensation or moisture that may have accumulated inside while operating without the cooling unit. No other problems so far.
The air drier is optional and costly, therefore I suspect that several customers, like you, use the HBOT without air drier. This feature is very useful in moist climate like the tropical area.
As someone already noted, it is dependent on the individual and his/her condition/issues. Obviously, the anti-oxidants/detox supplements should be taken with your regular routine supplements.
For example: I have to take a LOT of magnesium; Ark does not. He drinks magnesium water daily so if I were to give him magnesium, it would not be pleasant. I, on the other hand, drink only distilled water...
I take a baby aspirin every day; Ark takes Kardegic which combines aspirin with Lysine. He is susceptible to shingles, I am not.
We both take metformin every day, though in different dosages.
Ark has a supplement with Vitamin E for his eyes. I can't take vitamin E since it inflames me, but I take another eye supplement without it.
We both take biotin, but in different dosages.
I take Sermion (nicergoline) daily, but Ark does not since it stresses the kidneys and since his chemo, we have to take care with that.
We both take liposomal Vitamin C.
I take B vitamins, Ark does not since his blood work shows that his B vites are very good. Mine are not.
We both take Vitamin D and K2.
I take fish oil, Ark does not since it is incorporated into his eye supplement.
We both take pycnogenol, but in different dosages.
We both take Aterina (sulodexide) daily.
We both take mucosan (ambroxol) daily.
You will note that a number of supplements we take are geared at circulatory system issues. At our age, with our individual histories, these are necessary. But each of the supplements we take for this approach a different aspect of that potential problem.
For anti-ox, as noted, Vitamin C... and we also take Glutathione.
I take an iodine pill once a week on Sunday, Ark does not. His blood work shows that he does not need it, but I do.
Once or twice a week, we take a multi-mineral supplement without iron.
So, as you can see, our plans are individualized, but similar.
According to this only Glutathione in sublingual form actually has anti-oxidative effect, regular oral form apparently adds to oxidative burden, so this may be something to keep in mind unless you are already taking sublingual form.

Cool tip: you can empty the oral glutathione capsule powder under your tongue and keep it there for 5-10mins.According to this only Glutathione in sublingual form actually has anti-oxidative effect, regular oral form apparently adds to oxidative burden, so this may be something to keep in mind unless you are already taking sublingual form.

I have a question about the oxygen generator. I noticed, it got really hot, mainly underneath. I measured +50C! on the floor. (My temperature meter ends at 50C.) As this is very new to me, it seems too hot.
Could I ask if any of you, with a Macy Pan oxygen generator, could measure the temperature underneath - to have a comparison, what is normal? Thank you.
