Hi Shawn -

If you scroll to the bottom of this page then click on the ScamWatch link, you might be able to find some info about this.

I haven't heard of any good evidence it helps anyone other than scuba divers with the bends or people with severe smoke inhalation.

My DH did a study at the University of Miami where his group of five PALS went into the hyperbaric chamber for one hour - five days a week - for eight weeks. Conclusion....his group and the placebo group had no significant differences.....it was a bust - but PALS will go through studies like that in order to someday find answers so we are not sorry we gave up all that time. We also met some wonderful PALS, CALS and health care workers!
