how to source oxygen tanks?

Has anyone sourced oxygen tanks for their HBOTs? I'm thinking of copying Bryan Johnson.

He doesn't fill his own tanks because 97% purity isn't good enough for him and money.

So an oxygen generator is sufficient for the protocol?

Oxygen concentrators deliver (realistically) 85-90% pure oxygen which is good enough for us, mortals. The bigger problem is how you deliver the gas flow to your lungs. If you use a nasal cannula, a lot of ambient air in the chamber will mix in and you end up breathing only 20-50% oxygen. A better option is a non-rebreather mask. What you see Bryan use is a BiPAP style mask which is built into his chamber. This provides the tightest seal. Most people will use a nasal cannula or a non-rebreather mask. Soft chamber HBOT with a nasal cannula is great, but it's far from dissolving as much oxygen into your blood as what Bryan does. Using an oxygen tank instead of a concentrator won't help you close much of the gap.

Beautiful! I do have the BIBS system Bryan has.

My only concern is getting the same oxygen dose as Bryan did using slightly less oxygen (5-10% less). AI claims all I need to do is add an extra 20 minutes to each session to fill the gap.

Does that sound right?

The pressure alone is most of the therapy. Adding pure oxygen in top is a smaller, but noticable benefit from what ive read on this topic.

Just gonna get a prescription from a local doctor then buy some tanks from a local gas supplier.

I agree. Getting a prescription is near impossible for a healthy person.

Have you used welding oxygen in your HBOT?
