Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hello, I just joined, so I don't know if you (anyone) can help on this subject. My 3mo old g'daughter (Ally) has mild/moderate(?)HIE. I've been researching HBOT for about 2 wks in hope that there would be a benefit for her. Ally's parents have approached she medical team (thru the pediatrician)as to their position re: HBOT. Her pediatric neurologist just responded with a resounding NO!! He stated that, of the 900 members in his association, none of them support the use of HBOT. There is a recent article in their newsletter that evidently sites " numerous " problems, including seizures while undergoing treatment (and not being able to provide aid until decompression is complete). He stated that he has (2) of his patients that have gone thru the treatments (@ the same facility that would provide treatment to ALLY) & haven't shown ANY benefits. Unfortunately, I feel like I'm putting my son-in-law in the middle, as I'm not in direct contact w/the Dr. I've suggested that, since the assoc & this Dr. are pointing out that there is no research supporting the " benefits " and are using these examples (seizures,etc) as potential " risks " , would be kind enough to give me the links supporting these risks? Can anyone offer some support (documents/links, etc), so I can feel confident in pursuing HBOT for ALLY? Ultimatsly, it isn't my call to make. I just want my kids to be as informed as they can be when they decide. Thank you, Terry Miner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
