Oxygen Tank For When Sucking O2 In A Bar No Longer Works March 31, 2008

Alternative therapies are the in-thing these days, from sucking expensive oxygen to weekly enemas.
Now, you can step up your love of the alternative while sticking two fingers up to those peasant air suckers in oxygen bars, by checking out the full-size oxygen tank. Built by Japanese firm Adrect, this is the IDEA O2 Science, a lozenge-shaped capsule that promises to rejuvenate you.
Just leave your claustrophobia at the door and get in, close the lid and wait while the coffin – er, capsule – decompresses and fills with oxygen. LED lighting provides enough illumination for reading or you can pipe through tunes and even call people from the internal phone to see if they’re still stuck in traffic sucking exhaust.
This is Japan-only at the moment but it’s bound to hit some overpriced health spa near you soon. -Martin Lynch

I know we all need oxygen to breath, but has there been any research on exposure to oxygen to this degree? I wouldn't be surprised if there was little or no benefit, even a detrimental effect.
Isn't it true that oxygen is what causes our cells to age and deteriorate as well as being necessary for life?
Immersing yourself in the stuff outside of medical supervision maybe pressing 'fast forward' with your life expectancy?
It'll make you go blind
It'll turn you into Michael Jackson anyway. He religeously used an oxygen tent. It's nothing new though. Technical name is Hyperbaric(sic?) chamber. And over-oxygenation is DEFinitely harmful. In smaller amounts its a euphoric.
