    • HBOT Basics

      Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a unique treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Chalene Johnson describes it as lying in a glass-enclosed chamber, where the pressure is akin to an airplane's descent, allowing oxygen to penetrate tissues beyond red blood cells 1. This method is FDA-approved for conditions like Alzheimer's and carbon monoxide poisoning due to its proven effectiveness 2.

      It's not just about breathing pure oxygen; it's about being in a pressurized environment that forces oxygenation into all tissues of your body.
