[Guest guest]

and if House bill 1676 will cause insurance company's to pay or not. I can

asure you the House bill 1676 is useless. Give ma a hour or two to

recooperate from reading this letter and I will post the real truth.

Yes Lufkin Is an awesome clinic. One of the Best I have seen. The staff

there are incredable. They really care about the care of your loved one. They

will pray with you before you put your child in the chamber if you'd like.

This is defenatley a AAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++ clinic. Tammy the Director is a

awesome mother and Director. I thank the world of them all.

ps. The elliot house is incredable. This is better than a five star hotel and

for the price oh my you save enough in hotel bills to help with treatments.

We will see you there. Yes they should be complimented very highly. You feel

the peice of God around you as you enter the building. I have never felt as

good about one place as I do this one. Dr. Neubauer is my idol and he even

said this is one of the best I have seen so far. It is well designed it is

designed with the handicapp in mind. It also is set in a small country town

away from traffic. The Joe Elliot house is very close within walking distance

and this place is incredible. The Joe elliot house is $15.00 a night and is

awesome. It saves us so much In hoptel bill's. This was a answer to prayer

for us. We were spendign so much on hotel bill's.

Darin,

Did you bring your daughter to Lufkin? If so what did you think?

We hope to be going on September 16.

Thanks,

Thanks, Darin

We're going into this kinda blind, not having any experience at all

in hbot, so this is very reassuring for us. I know youv'e been to

Florida, so this must be a real complement to the people in Lufkin.

will be having a spect scan on Friday, the 13th, then

hopefully, we will be in Lufkin the following Monday.

Thanks Again!

Klecka

P.S. I will also be bringing my mother, who is almost 7 years post

stroke. She cannot speak or use her right arm, so this (i hope) will

prove to be interesting!

Dear Darin,

Thank for your continued work on this. As the TDI letter notes, we are

definitely not there yet on getting HBOT covered here in Texas. Please

remember that HB 1676's objective was to get reimbursement for a variety

of treatments. Medically recognized treatments are being reimbursed.

This is a hurdle that HBOT still has to overcome.

Those like yourself and the subscribers of this list have seen the

effects of HBOT, but the people that need convincing are the medical

directors of the various insurance companies and state agencies that

regulate them. Unfortuantely, anecdotal, personal experiences will not

likely convince them. They are likly only going to be convinced by

credible medical studies.

They relate to folks like Dr. Harch, but not much to people like you

and me. It seems to me that an organized medical campaign needs to be

strategized further as one of the ways of improving this situation. I

know that people like Ken Locklear an Dr. Harch are pending all of their

available time on this and deserve to be commended fo it.

But the other work that y'all are doing, like the march, are also very

valuable. Public education is very important.

Anyway, just a few thoughts.

Les
