It makes sense, I was actually thinking about it. It was mentioned somewhere that ketosis and HBOT give best results combined especially for certain conditions thats why I went the whole hog.

I can't do HBOT in the evening as it energizes me. So even if I'm l tired, if I do HBOT after 5 PM my sleep quality will be reduced.

News from my side.
We unpacked one of our units today and mounted it.
Yes, this was "sportif", which is a french expression which means that this wasn't so easy and I was sweating after putting the chamber up, but we did it ! I'll probably make a first session this friday, but this will be more a kind of training session to play with the valves and learn how to manipulate them correctly to adapt pressure on demand and master the device.
I'll browse again this whole thread to read about testimonies and advises regarding adapting ear's pressure when the chamber's pressure is raising up, i hope i'll succeed to arrive to 1,5 ATA without any problem, or ear disconfort. If any here want to add one more testimony or advise, using a macy pan unit, do not hesitate. I spotted the valve which is near the pressure gauge which i think i have to turn right or left to adapt pressure limit ... i'll read back the doc they sent me. I have to say that i'm excited to start.
One of my colleague made some pictures, and on one of them, the 2 rear valves were much looking like 2 eyes, 2 gentle and friendly eyes i would say, thus, as i like to play a little bit with 2D GFX, i quickly retouched the picture and added a big smile to it, and it renders very good, thus, i share this with you here :

Congrats on the new chamber! I got one from Macy-Pan too and also found assembling the frame inside sweaty workNews from my side.

. When pressure changes, you will definitely feel pressure in your ear, and you will feel it more the higher the change. You can also adjust the pressure relief valve if the pressure is changing too much. Opening it a little bit will decrease the positive rate of change of the pressure. To reset that feeling of pressure in your ear back to normal, you can try to click your ear. For some who don't know how, one can also achieve this by swallowing, as at some point in the process it engages the muscles that click your ear. It feels/sounds sort of like a flap being opened deep in there.As far as general advice goes, absolutely no flammable hazards inside or near the unit (including cell phones) as pure oxygen is highly flammable. Cleaning the room of dust goes a long way to keep the filters in good shape, and removing the water build up in the small water collection glass connected to the small device regularly is advised. The water turned a mirky orange there after a while and had to take more effort to clean it out..
Best of luck on the new chamber! It was a game-changer when I first got it
From our HBOT experience (1000+ hours), electronic devices are okay in the chamber. They won't dysfunction and they won't set the chamber on fire either. Contrary to a widespread belief, O2 is not flammable:

Ah, that is a relief Pierre. Thanks for clarifying.

How do you see that the oxygen concentrator is way above 10 l/min? Is it a little ball suspended in some liquid? That's the wya it is on the
Zoy chamber. When I turn on the OC the ball floats up to the 10 l/min mark.
As I understand it, the flow rate from the OC still 10 l/min but as the oxygen is under pressure inside the chamber, the volume of oxygen that was 10 l/min outside is now around 6,6 l/min inside.
Just a thought - just anyone know the principle on which oxygen extractor work - just wondering how it works. Couldn’t find lots of information.
Also most sources say average lifespan is between 10 and 30,000 h. How do we know it is not working properly when it reaches the end?

From what I found the oxygen concentrator works on the principle of removing nitrogen from the air, it works with two cylinders filled with a mineral (zeolite) that absorbs nitrogen from the air (the amount of nitrogen in the air is about 78%). In each cycle, one of the cylinders is filled with air, nitrogen is absorbed and oxygen is given away, while the other is decompressed to remove the adsorbed nitrogen

Ok, done 107 sessions. My plan was to do the 5/2 protocol due to my health problems, go slow and let the body adjust. But since I only got exhausted the first day, and the following days I got instead energised, I continued doing it every day and thought when I feel it is too much I will take a break. Also, since I've been bedridden for 2 years the bodys need for circulation and oxygen is really high.
In the beginning when we placed the order for the HBOT we didn't really know if I was able to get in and out of the chamber. I did. :)
In general my energy level is much better, I recover from pain/inflammation much faster. Skin is starting to shine actually in certain areas, my hair is getting even more thick. Had to change schampoo and start using a brush! First time ever in my life...
I can now go to the bathroom like a normal person for the first time in 2 years, that is a privilege! Also, I can now take regular showers and do 90% of the things myself, which is also a privilege.
I now know how my apartment looks like since moving in 18 months ago, I can walk to the kitchen get myself some tea/supplements or something to eat. I can get out on the balcony and smell the air and see the trees and see where I actually. I also started to practise walking stairs in the stairwell.
I make improvements everyday, small but I notice them.
I can't describe to you what a blessing it is to just move my own body around instead of just lying in bed 24/7, even though it hurts like hell and is the hardest workout I've ever done. First time in 8 years that I'm improving.
After the first 25 sessions I got brutal headache/brain fog/vertigo. I paused a few days and I did everything I know to reduce it, I helped some but I missed the energy from the Bot. After 4 days I thought that maybe this one of these "push through" moments, so I continued. During 4-5 weeks it slowly disappeared, and is now completely gone. Maybe this was from being up much more, using muscles that been dormant, can't tell.
After around 50 sessions I tried doing doing 2 sessions a day a couple of times, since I always feel better after a session. After one week I decided to continue, and I have since then.
After 80 sessions my pancreas/liver/gallbladder started to hurt a lot. I had some really serious pain after quitting painkillers and prednisone a year ago and it slowly got better after 6 months, and now it has kind of come back.
I remembered Chu had some pancreas problems so I plan to "iodine nuke" it for a week, I've already taken herbs and homeopathic remedies for more than 6 months and it doesn't seem to work, and I'm slowly starting to realise that this is my oldest problem, since birth probably. I'm loading up on Lugol's for 2 weeks until I reach around 100 mg/day. I've done the protocol before and had no problems reaching 150 mg…then. Now I'm up to 70 mg and my face reacted, can't explain how they look like, but they showed up 6-7 months ago with burning skin sensation/niacin flush like all over my body, histamine reaction maybe. Always on the the same places, knuckles, finger joints, elbows, face, knees, chest. I can't find any logical pattern really. Never had that in my whole life.
Besides the Bot, I'm doing a Keto diet adjusted to my problems, I'm also doing Buhners Lyme protocol, and taking supplements.
I feel it is not that interesting anymore to count sessions but improvements. I'm optimistic.
Well, long update, next will probably be around Christmas.

What a major change! I'm very glad for you
. Keep us informed.I think it's one of the most uplifting feeling in the world, don't you agree?
Finally seeing the light in the end the tunnel and walking towards it! Remember the girl who had a stroke in utero, she has done 1000+ sessions so far and her abilities keep improving. I wish you the same! Onwards and upwards.

Yes, coming from the opposite, which is so unbelievably depressing, is just heaven! Thank you Pierre.
Maybe, sometimes, we need a taste of hell to fully enjoy heaven.
Hey, it is wonderful to hear about your improvements! Fantastic news!

Indeed, during these last few years I've experienced what I only can describe as Hell, a couple years before I had my most intense experience in my whole life which I can only describe as God or Heaven. Some day I will fully understand why these things happened the way they happened.
