No. It's the 2,000 other papers 1896-1996 on treating infections that you

haven't read either! :-)  Your "comments" didn't address even that one

paper. See e.g., Berk and Hodes 1991, Medline for ref.  (BTW, hyperbaric

therapy generally isn't very successful, just costly/profitable. 25%

mortality for gas gangrene, vs. 5% for irradiation, too cheap for FDA.)
