Hey everyone. I saw some people asking where else you can find a Baroque Chamber. There’s one over at 94 Park Avenue inside a beauty salon. It’s a 2ATA model, hooked up to a mic, and set up for one person so you can just zone out to the TV during the session. A single treatment is $133, but they suggest doing at least ten if you actually want to see results—anything less feels like a waste of time. If you bundle ten sessions together, the price drops to $100.

neonbear51 said:New Baroque Chamber now available:
A private clinic over in Newark just installed a brand new single-person HTU3 Baroque Chamber. You breathe through a mask, and the chamber can go up to 2 ATA. I’ve already been in and tried it out—I am seriously impressed!
Before you start, you sit down with the doctor to talk everything through and map out your treatment. The service is top-tier...

edit: advertisement

The HTU3 actually pushes up to 3 ATA...

mistypanther7 said:What's the actual title of the doctor who signs off on the HBO?

In the States, there isn't one specific specialty dedicated just to HBO; instead, you usually find doctors who have taken extra training on the side to specialize in underwater or hyperbaric medicine. So, it could be anyone from a GP or an anesthesiologist to an internist or even a surgeon... honestly, it varies quite a bit.
Once you get a referral for HBO from one of those specialists, you head over to the hyperbaric clinic where a specialist in that field will give you a full evaluation, and that's when they finally set up your treatment schedule...

First off, let's not turn this thread into an ad!...And second, HBO definitely has its own medical indications and contraindications; you shouldn't just have it pop into your head and decide to go push yourself through it without thinking. Honestly, you could probably pull it off if you just dropped a massive stack of cash at a clinic, but then you'd likely have the mindset of someone like Michael Jackson or some other total nutcase.

I’m not trying to sell anyone on the Baroque Chamber; I’ve just spent enough time studying it to know I need it for my ulcerative colitis and a few other issues. My goal is just to help people find reliable info if they're looking into these treatments. Beyond my own stuff, the chamber is used for things like neck and head issues, heart, lung, and vascular problems, internal organ issues, bone and skin conditions, Bell's palsy, sudden hearing or vision loss, radiation damage, atherosclerosis, Crohn's, Parkinson's, and more. I wasn't looking to pitch this like that young guy did—I just want to help people because it actually works. A lot of doctors are still pretty skeptical about Baroque Chamber therapy, but there's progress being made, and honestly, if you can afford the treatments, you'll feel a whole lot better.

Does anyone here have any actual, hands-on experience dealing with diabetic foot issues and the Baroque Chamber?

It’s been quite a while since we last touched on this topic—has anyone encountered any instances of Baroque Chamber symptoms over on the West Coast side of town lately?

Can a surgeon provide a recommendation directly, or am I absolutely forced to go through the Veterans Affairs Medical Center?

Aside from blood pressure concerns, are there any specific contraindications regarding the use of the Baroque Chamber?
I was reading somewhere recently—I can't quite recall if it was in a medical journal or just some health blog—that people suffering from a pneumothorax aren't supposed to enter a Baroque Chamber. Isn't that a bit concerning? One would think the pressure changes might complicate things, wouldn't they?

Hey everyone!!! I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about treating brain trauma in a Baroque Chamber? Has anyone actually gone through this or had any experience with it? I’m honestly feeling a bit lost on where to even start. Does Medicare cover those kinds of costs, or am I looking at paying out of pocket? Any advice would seriously mean the world to me right now—I'm just totally stuck on the first step. It's for a case involving triparesis and an epidural hematoma. Thanks a million in advance!

Has anyone ever been in a Baroque Chamber with someone suffering from a subdural hematoma? I'm trying to figure out what the standard procedure is for that. Any advice or insight would be a huge help, thanks a million!

Where are you located?

Here’s some info copied from a clinic website near me that has a Baroque Chamber on-site:

Group 1 Indications
Decompression sickness
Gas gangrene
Poisoning from carbon monoxide (CO), cyanide, pesticides, or nitrites
Gas (air) embolism
Acute traumatic ischemia (extensive injuries involving tissue crushing and necrosis)
Sudden deafness or blindness (due to blocked or spasming arteries supplying nerves)
Bell's palsy
Chronic refractory osteomyelitis

Group 2 Indications
Diabetic foot and diabetic gangrene (Wagner grade II), monitored via TCpO2; other slow-healing wounds, trophic, and ischemic ulcers
Fresh tissue injuries (compromised skin flaps, frostbite, burns, crush, compartment, reperfusion syndrome, or other subacute ischemias)
Necrotizing and anaerobic infections

Anemia caused by acute severe bleeding, if blood transfusions aren't an option

Group 3 Indications
Ulcerative colitis and mb Chron mb Buerger
Mb Buerger and Sy Raynaud
Cerebral abscess
Postoperative paralytic ileus

The conditions listed under Groups 1, 2, and 3 are covered under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services guidelines.


I don't know if your specific situation qualifies for Medicare coverage. You should check with a primary care doctor. Which specialist are you seeing? For stuff like this, it's best to just talk to a specialist.
