Hyperbaric oxygen can induce angiogenesis and recover erectile dysfunction

[madman]

HBOT can induce penile angiogenesis and improve erectile function in men suffering from ED.

HBOT reverses the basic common pathophysiology, atherosclerosis and decreased penile pefusion, responsible for most of ED cases.

Perfusion imaging technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) was used

- to evaluate the change in capillary leakage/flow as indicated by K-trans parameter values serving as indicator of angiogenesis

Is that the same machine deep sea divers go in when they have the bends?
40 treatments oh my that's going to be expensive.

It would definitely be expensive!

Here is some info regarding the trial.

Very interesting, thanks for posting this. Hopefully HBOT will be available soon for the casual user. Also, I assume the 40 sessions was just a number they picked to make sure there were enough, but perhaps with more data it will become apparent that a near-maximum affect is reached at significantly fewer treatments.
