I think the key here is understanding how telomeres work. They naturally shorten with age, but the idea that a 90-day hyperbaric protocol could reverse that by 20 years is a stretch. Telomere length is influenced by a complex mix of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. A single intervention, no matter how promising, isn't likely to have such a dramatic effect. Plus, the quote sounds like it's from a non-scientific source—no specifics on the study, no peer review. That’s a red flag. If it were real, it would be everywhere.

The claim about a 20-year age difference in telomeres is extraordinary, and the lack of specific study details makes it hard to take seriously. If it were valid, we’d expect more rigorous follow-up, not just a vague reference to a Jerusalem study.

I get the skepticism, but the idea that oxygen could influence cellular aging isn't completely out of the question—just not on the scale claimed.

The idea that oxygen could influence telomeres isn't out of the question, but the scale of the claim—20 years in 90 days—defies basic biology. It's not just about oxygen, it's about the *magnitude* of the effect.
