HBOT: Pure Oxygen For What Ails You

James Heilman, MD/Wikimedia

Maybe the last time you heard about a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, it was in a story about Michael Jackson. 

There are benefits to be had from spending time in such a container; in fact one Rogue Valley hospital (Ashland) offers them up for use for wound treatment. 

Dr. Scott Sherrsays the uses of HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) go far beyond just treating wounds.  He touts the features of HBOT on a trip up the West Coast.  Dr. Sherr visits the studio with details.
