Hyperbaric oxygen therapy means: the patient inhales 100% oxygen at a pressure higher than one atmosphere in order to treat the disease. This is the definition of the International Society of Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine UHMS in 1999.
And last year, a paper by Shai Efrati’s team at Tel Aviv University in Israel in the scientific journal Aging showed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also make people younger. The researchers had 35 people over the age of 64 inhale hyperbaric pure oxygen for 90 minutes a day, five times a week, for three months, and found that their telomere length stretched by 20% and old cells removed by 37%.
This is the human equivalent of going back 25 years in physical condition. The boldness of its data has led many people to question the reliability of the data.
Or to give a response, on November 16, Shai Efrati’s team published another paper, “The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the pathophysiology of skin aging: a prospective clinical trial”, using “The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the pathophysiology of skin aging: a prospective clinical trial
A. Thirteen elderly people who were on hyperbaric oxygen for 180 days showed rejuvenation to the naked eye
The so-called “cut human skin” refers to three surgeries behind the ear, each time taking a 5×5 mm area of skin, so that people can witness the changes in skin condition before and after hyperbaric oxygenation by biopsy. Compared with the previous use of blood sampling, telomere length to determine the physiological age, the experiment is undoubtedly more simple and direct.
Because the experiment required surgery, the team recruited only 13 subjects. They were all over 64 years old, with an average age of 68.07 years old, most of them suffering from three high, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc., and three people had skin basal cell carcinoma, usually need to take a variety of drugs, and the normal physical condition of the elderly.
After up to six months (i.e., 180 days) of hyperbaric oxygenation, the study observed several results.
(1) an increase in collagen fiber density of more than 10%.
(2) An increase in elastic fiber length from an average of 5.83 ± 1.59 μm before oxygenation to 14.25 ± 4.31 μm.
(3) Retraction of the dermal papillae layer from 133.22 ± 22.42 μm at baseline to 106.60 ± 31.01 μm.
(4) Increase in the number of capillaries by approximately 40%.
(5) Decrease in senescent cells by about 20%.
Professor Shai Efrati admits that due to the small sample size, no control group was set up, and the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on skin photoaging was not evaluated. Overall, however, this is the first histological “seeing is believing” result in humans, demonstrating that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can significantly improve skin aging pathology.
Harvard professor tweets about hyperbaric chamber as an anti-stress remedy
It is no coincidence that Harvard University’s Professor Sinclair, who is known as the “Godfather of anti-disease”, tweeted his opinion about hyperbaric oxygen chambers as a remedy against ringworm a month before the Israeli scientists published their results.
This is one of the reasons why civilian hyperbaric chambers have become the choice of wellness people. It is reported that private aircraft Bombardier, China CNR high-speed rail supplier Qingdao Wei Ao, has crossed the border to develop a lightweight hyperbaric oxygen chamber O2 ARK. its built-in audio and video systems, intelligent light control, etc., coupled with the larger space, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen like to relax and entertain in it while taking oxygen for health.
In the “Seasons” documentary, the 26-year-old pop singer Justin Bieber also publicly claimed that he had bought two hyperbaric chambers, one at home and one in his studio, to recover from the physical damage caused by past DU intake.
Meanwhile, Bieber goes to the clinic for weekly NAD infusions to give himself more energy through the therapy. “It helps me get up in the morning”, Bieber clearly said, and he now relies on the infusion and antidepressants to sustain his life.
As you can see, the NAD technique used by Bieber is also on Professor Sinclair’s list of recommendations. In 2013, Professor Sinclair published an article in the prestigious journal Cell, “Declining NAD+ Induces a Pseudohypoxic State Disrupting Nuclear-Mitochondrial Communication during Aging,” where nearly 2-year-old mice injected with the molecular precursor continuously for a week showed a tendency to return to a body state of half a year old.
The performance of this molecular precursor in the market is also impressive, it is reported that this is the main substance of the “Celebrex” daily anti-aging supplements since March into the domestic Guangdong, sales are growing exponentially. Especially after the University of Washington, the University of Tokyo, Guangzhou Institute of Sports and other scientific research institutions to supplement its human test data on NAD, this type of supplements ushered in the wind, online channels are occupying the first nutritional products. Some users laughingly said, “Sellegrin, race the happy man-rai.”
Comparing the hyperbaric oxygen chamber O2 ARK and NAD technology, the obvious distinction lies in their different price points. The former is at least 300,000 or more per unit, while the latter is gradually reduced from the sky-high price of 20,000/g to several thousand dollars due to the maturity of the bio-enzymatic technology. The common point is that both are life rechargeable, as the MIT Technology Review said, the market prospects can reach hundreds of billions of dollars level.
Third, the future prospects: everyone 100 years old
The discovery of new technologies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and longevity molecules will all contribute to a longer life span for humans. University of California, Berkeley and the Max Planck Institute of data analysis of children born in 2007, the results said that children have a 50% probability of living to 107 years old, the United States, France, Canada G children have a 50% probability of living to 104 years old, the British G is 103 years old.
This trend has been signaled. According to the Japanese tradition, the age of 100 are eligible for a silver sake bowl, in 1963 when the implementation of this practice, only 153 centenarians, and by 2014, the number of centenarians rose to 29,350, so much so that in 2015 the tradition had to be cancelled due to the number of people, which vaguely visible “Sailorui” The shadows of the previous generation of anti-aging technology. A similar event took place in the UKG, where the number of cards sent by the Queen to centenarians increased so dramatically that the number of staff sending cards increased from one to seven.
“Everyone turning 100 has become a fact of life that is happening,” says Professor Linda at London Business School. In response, we should perhaps re-plan our lives, consider our own financial situation, and find a balance between work and retirement in order to better enjoy the journey of life.
