According to them:
Elimination of intravascular and tissue gas bubbles, which trigger coagulopathy and other mechanisms in the complex diving disorder, decompression sickness.
Restoration of CNS perfusion by compression of intravascular gas emboli in pulmonary over-pressure diving accidents or iatrogenic intravascular gas embolism.
Increased partial pressure of oxygen (tension) which increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma. This can increase oxygen levels to approximately 450 mmHg at the tissue level.
The effects of increased oxygen tensions are seen in a variety of different situations:
Vasoconstriction and reduction of edema in the area of trauma. Oxygen tension may be 10 to 20 times that achieved by normobaric oxygen breathing.
Rapid dissociation of carbon monoxide molecules from hemoglobin and cytochrome A3 oxidase (23 minutes at 3 ATA) as well as greatly improved delivery of dissolved oxygen in the plasma.
Stimulation of growth and occurrence of fibroblasts, osteoclasts and granulocytes, resulting in wound healing. The resulting angiogenesis enhances healing skin grafts, select problem wounds and compromised flaps.
Cessation of alpha toxin production by the clostridial organisms in gas gangrene.
I'm still not sure how this can help people with IC but the research tells me its the next way to go.. and if they want to charge an arm and a leg then I can stuff this thing somewhere after a large loan (only after discovering if the therapy is the cure for me though).

I encourage open discussion. There is a lot for us to learn from each other.
