Our bodies have multiple enzymes and antioxidants to keep oxygen from slowly killing us. And this guy wants to concentrate it. Hyperbaric has its uses, making a normal person live longer is not one of them.

It was a complicated time when life switched to oxygen. We still have life without oxygen btw (mostly in the depths). But those damn plants fucked up a good life for everyone back then.

Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early

Hope they don’t have bare wires and too much velcro.

I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster

Yes, I also hope they don’t and not that they do.

If you see this dude in person. He looks like an actual case of turning into a zombie. It’s like he lost his soul. He has dead eyes.

Am I the only one who thought this was Tom Scott for a moment?
InputZero@lemmy.world 42 minutes ago
Kinda looks like him and it would be the type of thing Tom Scott would demonstrate but he wouldn’t push pseudoscience so aggressively

You just know he’s going to have some hilariously ironic death like the Segway scooter guy. It’s like learning about the guy who claimed God couldn’t sink the Titanic and deciding, “I’m going to do that! Every day!”

He already broke his leg by dancing like a white guy on stage at a concert a couple of years ago.

The segway guy is actually a pretty sad story. James Haselden was a genuinely good guy, founder of a company making a type of portable and collapsible barrier, originally intended to shore up canals and rivers but ended up solving a variety of problems around the world.
He kept manufacturing local to his childhood home, paying significantly above the average to his staff, created jobs and opportunities for many people in a relatively impoverished community.
Gave many many millions of pounds to charities and good causes.
He bought the segway company, intending on reviving what had become a failing business and died a pretty tragic and stupid death and now all anyone thinks of him is “haha how ironic”.

Even in death he keeps on giving.

Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.

Oxygen is corrosive as fuck. That’s why people are so obsessed with anti-oxidants. It’s important to cellular respiration because it is do damn volatile, but our bodies have to do a lot to keep it contained and safe.

Wasn’t Apollo I destroyed when a spark caused an explosion on the launchpad due to pressurising the cabin with pure oxygen?
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 5 minutes ago
Maybe, but that’s neither here nor there. We can’t draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.

Hyberbaric chambers have a tendency to explode.
There was one in the new the other day that tragically exploded with a small child inside.

Sure he might outlive us, but honestly what’s the fucking point? At this point for him he’s basically just existing. Is he happy? Is he getting any enjoyment out of life? Because it sure doesn’t seem like it
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 55 minutes ago
He’s selling products by doing this, so there’s that.

Hyperbaric treatment is dangerous, and I haven’t even seen a pseudo-scientific (fake science) reason for doing it if like you don’t have mountain sickness or some other "bizarre’ acute problem with what’s in your blood.
Atropos@lemmy.world 36 minutes ago
It’s also very beneficial to prevent limb loss from trauma that reduces blood flow. Makes a huge difference in the first couple of days to keep the tissue alive.

Or die by decompression if the chamber cracks.

You think oxygen is your ally, but you merely adopted the oxygen. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see carbon dioxide until I was already a man!

This rich turd is afraid of aging and dying so he’s using pseudoscience to attempt to live longer, while many of the longest living people are known to reach their advanced ages while consuming unhealthy did l foods and questionable lifestyle choices.

What I love most about him is that he trades blood with his son.
Imagine believing your blood is old and then convincing your son to give you his young blood in exchange for your spent blood.

Yeap, for some reason tech billionaires are all complete idiots outside of their field of expertise. I don’t know what it is about computer science that makes people so confident they’re always the smartest person in the room, but it does lead to some interesting scams.
These aren’t even real hyperbaric chambers, they’re marketed as “wellness chambers”. Real hyperbaric chambers are illegal to own/operate in a living space because they are dangerous if not operated and maintained by an expert.
He’s not getting 100% o2 and they aren’t getting the appropriate amount of atmospheric pressure utilized in hyperbaric medicine. There’s no evidence to support any kind of benefit of hyperbaric medicine at these levels.

He is, I believe, a silly tech millionaire who thinks he can reverse aging. He has his son’s blood injected daily as I recall. Also penis Botox, for some reason.

Time, aging, and death come for us all. We must make peace with that knowledge. This man is incapable of living life, through fear of losing his life.
I’m gonna go play in some dirt now, and eat raspberries straight from the bush. I know which of us will be enjoying our time on this planet more.

Is that botox injectes into penis, or botox extracted from Clostridium botulinum on penis?
All jokes aside. Why inject a muscle relaxant in penis?

for all the hate the guy gets, I do appreciate that he’s at least taking a science-based approach and publishes what works/doesn’t. The core building blocks he continually pushes people follow are the basics we all know: good sleep, food and exercise. Outside of this he’s tested various protocols and only continues them if the biomarkers he’s tracking show some kind of improvement. He’s even published basic meals (Super Veggie) that anyone can make to ensure they’re eating healthy and getting the most bang for their buck (nutrient to caloric content ratio).
