I have found ATA 1.3 very near me, and elsewhere, further afield 2.0
Tonight I ask my Chinese Dr what he thinks
All I can say so far is that I have found 2 reliable, professional sources that assure me the principle is sound.

AUD = australian dollar
And HBOT does work extremely well for some stroke patients, there is plenty of anecdotal experiences shared out there. Unfortunately the cost and time (>20 hours) keeps most people away, any of us who had a stroke, or many other issues should have received HBOT while in hospitalā¦ if only for the cost and knowledge we didnāt.

Pretty much this. Everyone just needs to look at the studies done on HBOT. Itās pretty cutting edge for many illnesses but we do know it decreases ābody ageā as in reverses some DNA damage, improves anything to do with skin, improves blood flow (some have saved limbs after diabettic damage) etc. The effects on the brain are still being studied in 2025.
It is one day going to a normal part of stroke recovery, like acupuncture should be in the west (in parts of asia its normal treatment).

Yes, I confirm, my Chinese Dr. tells me a Chinese lady who had a super serious stroke here, 6 months ago, has been shipped back to China, and they are giving her HBOT sessions as standard treatment.

The below article was posted by @clibbers1 in January 2024 and may be of interest to those wishing to try out HBOT therapy.
HBOT as tried and tested by @clibbers1
@clibbers1 seems to have done a comprehensive research/test of this and documented it in 15 posts in the above thread over a period four months (January - April 2024).
And if I have understood correctly, the sessions were carried out at:
- āNeuro Wellbeing Centresā previously known as MS Treatment Centres
- Attended mostly by Stroke Survivors
- Possibly available on the NHS via a GP referral (at least @clibbers1 's treatment was made available by GP referral)
- As at February 2024, the cost for 20 sessions (1 hour each) was Ā£10 (10 GBP) which sounds affordable even if you canāt get a GP referral.
Disclaimer:
This post is based on my understanding of what I read in the original post found on this forum. I neither claim any expertise on the subject, nor do I make any recommendations, but I do feel that for anyone considering this, it may be a more affordable alternative to the ATA2 therapies that cost another poster AUD 4500.
Thank you.

I think the reason many donāt see benefits is because they donāt do it long enough I had 29 sessions at ATA2 , 90 mins each, 3 hours each day I did it over about 5 weeks. The video I linked talks about 60 x 90 min over 3 months. That is a lot of HBOT over a short time period.
You canāt just do a few hours here and there itās not how it works for neuroplasticity gains. I think of it more like a multiplier - the more you have the more gains you will get doing anything else. And the effects if done long enough last for months at least.
Unless you are one of the lucky ones where features get unlocked < 20 hours much like acupuncture.

I love the idea of these, hopefully more spring up.

Hi @smellypup
I spoke to my Chinese Dr and he confirmed the benefits of HBOT ; there would be benefits for anyone, he said, including a 60 year old ( since I am 60 ) with out stroke. Basically itās just good for our brain. I think heās just toning down my expectations of just how much can be recovered after 2.5 years.
I wonder if youād have time for a chat on zoom ?
Maybe PM me if so,
ciao, Roland

I had acupuncture on Wednesday, first time in 4 weeks. Wake on thursday to lower back pain (more sensitivity is good), better lip sensitivity and more feeling in my legs. She was new to me, which brings it to like 5 different people.
Iāve got a feeling that you see more improvement if you get new people and different spots needled.

Great news, Jace. I stick to my Chinese Dr. who does acupuncture on me every week. It used to be twice a week after my stroke (for 1Ā½ years). Pain is the first thing to register when a nerve starts to come online. Lip & legs great ; I have weekly improvements there even after 2Ā½ years post stroke. Different meridians address different parts of the body. My Chinese Dr. is going to send me details of a neuro surgeon who has an HBOT chamber ; should be close to home. Iām doing Bowen & Craniosacral therapy at the moment.
Iāve made tremendous progress through grounding, and reduced my blood pressure (including the pressure in my affected eye). I have perfect BP even without my evening meds, now.
Keep the news & updates coming in ; bravo !
