Does this include or exclude using hyperbaric chambers for decompression sickness, which is actually a medically proven use?The Goonie 1 (talk) 04:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Wondering about that myself, as this article makes it sound like this is quackery. The typical diving recompression chamber supplies regular air but there are legitimate medical uses for hyberbaric oxygen therapy, including treatment of decompression sickness or the "bends", burns, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Real hospitals use them. This looks like a misguided result of trying to use anything possible to debunk Andrew Schlafly, although to be fair, there is a lot of quack use of oxygen therapy too. Michael Jackson reportedly slept in a tank to make his skin look younger or something. Secret Squirrel (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
