    I have a chamber at home, bought under Dr. orders. It is the low pressure system. They have found for many medical issues the low pressure works almost as good as the high pressure systems. Most systems now pressurize with air and only have oxygen thru a mask. Even the ones at large facilities. They are fed fresh air while venting air at the same time, so no buildup of oxygen or carbon monoxide. They are so safe you can take your phone, medical equipment, some even have TV’s in them. The Dr we worked with is on the list approved for divers and the bends. Holds 8 people. Mostly treats injuries and military coming home with injuries. Talking to some of them...Yes it works.
    Does it work for us, My SO was injured and left in pain and confined to the bed. We visited many Dr’s., Specialists, and the Mayo Clinic & Hospital, without any relief. The only thing is she was left bedridden in so much pain, pain meds could not control.
    My SO found anther person online, but local, with a similar story who was just going back to work!!
    We contacted her and went to meet her and see what she did. There is also a very low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy referred to as mild hyperbarics or mHBOT. Well my SO went from 100% in bed with severe pain to having her life back in a little over a year and no pain meds. I know many more success stories and some failures. Not for everyone, but most things are not for everyone.
    What a great success story! Glad to hear it!

    The OP's post suggests that he might want to home-build a high pressure system. That's a different beast than yours. I sure hope he changes his mind.

    I don't think anyone here is arguing that hyperbaric oxygen treatments have no value. It's long been established that it works for a number of things. It just has to be done right.

    Probably not.

    Thanks again for the continued advice everyone. I joined some welding boards and asked around there and I've learned how specifically doing something like this is out of anyone's league who isn't specifically trained for these things. One guy did a calculation of the force that would be exerted on the door and came up with 177,000 lbs. So yeah my conclusion is although the therapy can be great for certain injuries it's out of the realm of what a normal mortal can accomplish. Appreciate the good guidance.
