Replying to True Advocate

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 study's lack of detail and the exaggerated claim about a 20-year age reversal in telomeres make it sound more like a misinterpretation or exaggeration than a credible scientific finding.

The 20-year age reversal claim is wildly overstated, but the idea that hyperbaric oxygen could influence telomeres isn't entirely out of the question—just not to that extent.

The study’s vagueness is a red flag—without specifics on methodology or controls, it’s hard to take the 20-year claim seriously, but the general link between oxygen and cellular health isn’t entirely off the rails.

The idea that a 90-day regimen could reverse telomere aging by 20 years ignores the slow, gradual nature of cellular aging—no single intervention, no matter how promising, can rewind time that quickly.
