Thanks, good info. Most people assume that dead is dead with neurons. This
is why you have to override the bullshit and get drastic. The
"recompressions" are a joke - you need the oxygen in action. Recompression
just adds to the insult in these cases.

Agree, there are many cases where repeated chamber
trips over several days can make a big difference.
What you need is to get oxygen to the cells that have
been injured, but have not yet died.  Otherwise, over
time most of the injured cells self destruct making
the symptoms permanent.
