Poor kid.
It’s amazing how few people understand how dangerous oxygen can be. And of course by extension how dangerous hyperbaric chambers pressurized with it can be.
They’re nowhere near as tested or safe as hyperbolic chambers.
Agreed on everything you said except I don’t think there’s such a thing as hyperbolic chambers, oxygen or otherwise. I would even say that is probably hyperbole (pun intended)
In all seriousness, pure oxygen is certainly very dangerous due to both fires and oxygen toxicity at increased partial pressures, but so is the pressure itself, as any diver knows. Our bodies are really not very well adapted for operation at anything very far removed from a 80/20 nitrogen/oxygen mix around 1 atmosphere of pressure, and this kind of therapy is rolling the dice with people’s health and safety in so many different ways.
hyperbolic time chamber
lmao
What!? Blasphemy! They’re only the best chambers ever built or conceived! I mean at the very least they’re alright, kinda.
But yes oxygen nearly wiped out all life on earth at least once.
And given the chance, it will do it again ✊
“Hyperbolic chamber?” Isn’t that just CPAC?
It’s definitely one of them.
“The Oxford Center operated two locations in Michigan prior to Thomas’ death. On its website, the center says it treats over 100 conditions, including autism, Alzheimer’s, dyslexia and cancer. The FDA does not recognize hyperbaric oxygen therapy for those conditions, nor has it approved the therapy for the conditions for which Thomas’ family sought treatment.”
Alternative Medicine: if it worked, it would just be called Medicine.
This shit should be illegal. Doubt that’ll happen under the “Tylenol causes autism” regime. I’m sure that further relaxation of regulations and legitimization of pseudoscoence will make the situation better.
On one hand I feel like the parents share some culpability in this for falling for the scam that killed their son, but I also think it’s insane that it’s even legal to run this dangerous scam clinic in the first place.
Hyperbaric chamber? Was he training to fight Freeza??
Close, but this is a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, not a hyperbolic time chamber
How did the fire start? Was it just a random spark?
In high oxygen concentrations it doesn’t take much.
The article says it was a spark from static electricity.
It does? Well, thanks! I must have looked right past that!
