Julia goes into a chamber that is cast iron on both ends and the top
and sides are made of glass. For older people there is a TV that is
on the outside of the chamber that they watch and the audio is pumped
into the unit. We go to advanced hyperberics in Millersville Maryland
and they're URL is www.mdhbot.com I think they're site sucks but they
do have pictures of the chambers.
