Engineer Claims Underwater Living Reversed Aging, Scientists Skeptical
Joseph Dituri, a biomedical engineer, spent 100 days living underwater in a pressurized habitat and claims the experience reversed his aging by a decade. Dituri's mission involved hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which he believes can slow or reverse aging when combined with healthy habits. Despite Dituri's claims, experts remain skeptical, noting that existing HBOT treatments have not shown systematic changes in life expectancy. Dituri's experiment included medical and psychological testing, revealing changes such as weight loss, reduced cholesterol, and increased testosterone levels.
