If you remember, I did an article about using Hyperbaric Oxygen for anti aging about a year and a half ago (was it THAT long ago??) Here’s the article if you aren’t sure what it is:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Anti Aging

Well apparently, Dwight Freeney of the Colts tore a ligament in his right ankle which makes Sunday Super Bowl game in jeopardy for him. However, he’s been getting hyperbaric oxygen treatment for the ankle. It’s supposed to speed up the recovery process.

A sports reporter for espn.com decided to try the hyperbaric oxygen system to see how it worked.

The difference in the treatment that the sport’s reporter used and the treatment Dwight did is important. Freeney only got about 21% oxygen in his type of treatment and was able to work on his laptop during the treatment. The reporter got the 100% oxygen treatment and was not able to move during the treatment.

For anti aging benefits, you would have to have about 10 treatments for 90 minutes each. According to the experts, you might feel younger and your metabolism would speed up.

Here is his story about his experience with the hyperbaric oxygen chamber:

Going Hyperbaric

P.S. I’m writing this blog post BEFORE the Super Bowl – I’ll make an adjustment if I need to after the game.

P.P.S. Okay, having watched Dwight during the Super Bowl, he did great although his ankle did bother him. Or at least the re-taping of it during half-time. I’ll reserve judgment on the anti-aging benefits until we hear from someone that’s tried it. Any takers??
