Tom Fox rumors; Re: FDA cleared new portable chamber

[Guest guest]

Mr Page

As usual you typically misrepresent hyperbarics, The comments I made were in

reply to a question I was asked in regard to a study in the presentation of

the physicians. It used a treatment pressure that was incapable of being

achieved by the soft sided chamber that was there.

Additionally this chamber you are promoting now can not achieve treatment

pressure to address Air Embolism decompression Illness or gas gangrene. We could

argue the rest but what the hell it is hyperbarics. And you are selling a

hyperbaric chamber. See what I mean??

Dan, By the way show me where a negative ion is an approved piece of

equipment in a Hyperbaric chamber and the hyperbaric glanding which is part of

the

PVHO codes was intrinsically safe. Oh that's right safety codes don't apply

to you.

There is so much more to mainstreaming hyperbarics than the little portal

from which you are looking. Samir is not part of the effort that has been

involved with the highest levels of the government. In the end it is all a

matter

of perception. If you say it enough times it will be the perception.

Fortunately truth and perception are not the same thing. No amount of marketing

will bridge that gap.

RATIONALE AND STANDARDS are key. If you disregard the codes sooner or later

it will come back to bite you.

It was in particular bad taste to rent a soft chamber to a gentleman in the

last stages of liver Cancer. Not cool next time, teach how to run it and how

to use it so he doesn't call our clinic for instructions. Hyperbarics is a

powerful therapeutic tool when used properly.

If you will remember I paid for four people to attend your

conference. In the end it was infomercial. That is too bad it could have been

good and

put to rest the snake oil perception that prevents the mainstreaming of this

field.

Carbon Monoxide/ smoke inhalation treated in Florida by Dr Alan Speigal

this fall in a Sechrist monoplace as a result of some failure in a Vitaris 32

inch soft chamber. Remember, you guys initially tried to deny it. Until it was

confirmed.

Are you or are not " FDA " approved. Doesn't a Serious Incident require you to

report this to them?

It is not fear mongering but reality. Do what is in the best interest of

your customers. Maybe they should know what the circumstances behind this

failure so they could take steps to prevent the same thing from happening to

others. Is that Prudent? You be the Judge..

, Since when is safety a bad word. If the red warning labels of your

device aren't important, why put them on??

Sorry Mr Fox, the voltage of this wire was 12 V DC, not 110 AC !

The Oxyhealth chamber and setup was not mine, but even then, safety

was not an issue. Thanks for your twisted logic once again. But since

you know nothing about negative ions generators and their effects on

health, why don't you refrain yourself from any comments about this

for a change...

And the last time you saw me indeed was at the autism conference in

Montreal on march 16 2007. My good friend and assistant was there when

I was away and heard your usual irrelevant and diffamatory comments

about the portable chambers to parents at our booth. She was troubled

by what she heard and couldn't believe they were said by the owner of

an hyperbaric clinic.

The conference was videotaped and translated both ways so we caught

you trying to squeeze Dr Buckley with your cheap questions. Your

arrogance in criticizing the work of all the MD's and DAN! therapist

who are using the Oxyhealth chambers is a disgrace for this field.

We have all been witness for years now as our dear friend Tom " Mr.

Safety " Fox has kindly filled our hearts and minds with fear of the

portable chambers. He and our other dear friend, Mr. Hartsoe

have been masters at baiting each other while both have nearly

suffered strokes while thoughtfully sharing their safety concerns

over the use of portable chambers, claiming them to be dangerous and

not really FDA-approved.

(Even though " I'm-not-in-(Even thoug(Even though

approves of portables--as long as he can get paid for them. See

_http://www.roberthahttp://www.roberhttp_

(http://www.roberthartsoeisadamnliar.com/) )

Good news from our friend Page in Canada. Now FDA has gone and

cleared yet another portable--besides the Performance Chamber--yet

again granting a 510k clearance through without a single visit with

Mr. Safety's precious ASME-PVHO committee review. And now this new

portable chamber (The Dive) is not only FDA-approved for mountain

sickness, by golly it's approved for all 13 of the UHMS approved

indications as well.

That means they'll be for sale in Canada too.

Such news has burst more than a few capillaries in some old, hard

noggins.

Why, those other 13 indications require (a) 100% oxygen and (

pressures greater than 1.3 ATA. That means this chamber can be used

at pressures greater than 1.3 ATA with 100% oxygen. It's heavily

rumored this could mean the end of having to get HBOT in the back of

a truck, as there apparently was a recent listing on eBay motors for

a former money maker. It's also suspected that travel reservations

have been canceled to North Carolina.

Even more amazing is another expected drop in prices at a North

Carolina mountain.

And since The Dive chamber used the Oxyhealth chambers to gain FDA

approval, why I wouldn't be surprised if Oxyhealth suddenly applied

for and instantly received FDA-approval for their chambers to also be

used for those same FDA and UHMS-approved 13 indications.

(Did you hear that? Listen. Tilt your ear to North Carolina. Or

Canada. Either way, you're bound to hear some more capillaries

busting, though the sound could be drowned out by gnashing teeth.)

It's feared this news is bound to give some folks a stroke just

thinking about the new good-luck scenario for Oxyhealth. However,

there's news across the 'net that Mr. Safety and Mr.

I'mnotinitforthemonI'mnotinitforthemon<WBR>ey avoided such complic

news lying down and have been stuck in their own hyperbaric chambers,

pondering the future possibilities of Oxyhealth and Performance and

the Dive.

Just like Laurel and Hardy, as always, we do look forward to hearing

from them.
