mHBOT Decoded: Myths, Media Hype & The Real Science

Myth 1: “It’s a quick fix.”
Reality – mHBOT compounds over time, just like strength training.

Myth 2: “There’s no research.”
Reality – peer-reviewed studies support benefits in TBI, chronic pain, wound repair and more.

Myth 3: “Only for pro athletes.”
Reality – busy parents, knowledge workers and seniors see measurable gains in energy, sleep and mood.

Myth 4: “It’s dangerous.”
Reality – at 1.3–2.0 ATA, mHBOT is considered extremely safe; the fiery HBOT mishaps you read about involve hospital-grade chambers at up to 4 ATA with 100 % oxygen saturation.

Separating Signal from Noise

  • Check peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Journal of Hyperbaric Medicine).

  • Cross-reference claims across multiple sources.

  • Ignore sensational headlines promising miracle cures.

Empower yourself with evidence, not influencer hype.
