#2Maybe even healthy individuals could improve memory via this therapy?

#3Okay this sounds great, what is the specific protocol they talk about in the article, is it some breathing techniques in the chamber or four one hour sessions per day for 5 years?

#4Here’s the paper https://www.aging-us.com/article/203485
> The study population comprised adults (5 males, 1 female) with significant memory decline aged 64 years and older
> The protocol consisted of 60 daily sessions at 5 sessions per week within a three-month period. Each session included breathing 100% oxygen by mask at 2ATA for 90 min with 5 min air breaks every 20 min.
> At baseline, patients attained a mean global cognitive score (102.4±7.3) similar to the average score in the general population normalized for age and education level (100), while memory scores were significantly lower (86.6 ± 9.2). Cognitive assessment following HBOT revealed a significant increase in the global cognitive score (102.4 ± 7.3 to 109.5 ± 5.8, p=0.004), where memory, attention and information processing speed domain scores were the most ameliorated (Figure 8C). Moreover, post-HBOT mean memory scores improved to the mean score (100.9 ± 7.8), normalized per age and education level (100).

#5This sounds too good to be true. But if it is true, it's yet another reminder of ageing being "treatable". Perhaps one day, "curable".

The popular paper completely fails to to state sample size or selection. It seems 10+10 mice also were studied. Maybe a little early to call it a breakthrough...

#7I'm using 2.4ATA 90min back to back sessions to treat my covid induced brain fog, with great results.
It's the first time in a year I can think clearly. Anyone with long covid should seriously look into this as a treatment, it has some solid science behind it and is very safe, albeit expensive.
At this point I've tried 14 different drugs, not a single thing has moved the needle except this.

What's "ATA"? The scammy-looking commercial page you linked doesn't mention it.

I found something. "ata" seems to mean "atmosphere absolute" and describes the total pressure:
"The ata unit is used in place of atm to indicate the total pressure of the system, compared to a vacuum. For example, underwater pressure of 3 ata would mean that this pressure includes 1 atm of air pressure and thus 2 atm due to the water.", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_atmosphere_(unit)#Pre...

#10Anyone interested in this should also take a look at Lions Mane Mushrooms.
They have been shown to significantly help with cognitive decline.
