Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 mhbot and this group Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:03:56 From: Hartsoe <rhartsoe@...> <HDOTherapyforAutism > This is the largest group on HBOT on the internet. We have several professionals on this group who are here to answer your questions and provide assistance. They are experienced and trained and they are Board Certified Hyperbaric Technologists. They have invest years of their lives to following and developing proper protocols to provide the very best in HBOT. The reason treating Autism with HBOT became so popular was because they were getting such wonderful results using HBOT with 100% oxygen. That is why it is called Oxygen Therapy, you use oxygen at ATA of 1.5 or higher which results in an oxygen delivery system to areas of cell damage and it is the only possible way to get oxygen to those areas. It is done with saturation of oxygen which can only be done under pressure. You must have the oxygen there to reach that level which is why it requires 100% oxygen. We will not get into the controversy of mhbot which became popular because Oxyhealth began putting a lot of money into sponsorship of DAN conferences. So the DAN docs had only them to listen to and, therefore, they thought it was the real thing. That is why so many of them have soft chambers which are NOT approved for Oxygen use. Many of the DAN docs are now switching back to regular hbot after realizing the amazing DIFFERENCE in results. Note that I said difference. Yes, there is some success using mhbot with autism but it is normally temporary. If you have a chamber at home, you will see some results depending on the problem being treated. However, as soon as you cease using that chamber you will see regression. If you have a home chamber, that is great, but please do regular HBOT with 100% oxygen every 12 months to achieve the results your child needs. Years ago at a conference in Florida, Dr. , Dr. Fojgel, Samir Patel(Oxyhealth) and myself met to discuss using the combination of mild and regular HBOT for the most optimum hbot therapy program available in the world. It is call Baro-Therapy. All were in agreement this would be the most beneficial program ever developed in HBOT. I always record my conversations at a conference or special meetings for future reference. Samir Patel was in agreement that regular HBOT should be used in conjunction with mhbot. I have that on tape. To make a long story short, BaroTherapy would and is still the optimum use of HBOT. The BaroTherapy program we were developing would involve many of the freestanding centers, including those on this list. It was a well-designed program with professional medical advisors, etc. available for follow up and supervision of the program. I wanted it to be sponsored by a non profit organization to keep the commercialism out of it. It would either be the IHMA or the IHA. I agreed to the IHA at the insistance of Mr. Patel. After finding out that the IHA was being misrepresented as a 501©3 and after Mr. Patel refused to let parent representation on the board of the IHA and finally getting a copy of the bylaws of the IHA, it was obvious this organization was set up to sell Oxyhealth Chambers. I will add that the IHA is now a legitimate 501©3 but they only work and sponsor events, etc which will promote Oxyhealth chambers. Therefore we dropped the plans because it would have turned a good viable plan into a marketing method for Oxyhealth chambers. I was offered the opportunity to become the exclusive marketer for brain injury Oxyhealth and I turned it down. Another story. Now, back to this list. This list was set up to provide information for parents on HBOT for their autistic children and adults. Until a soft sided chamber is developed that is safe for Oxygen use at proper pressures which will meet the requirements of the FDA and ASME, this group will not participate in the discussion of how to use the mild chambers. It is unfair for me to expect the professionals on this list to particpate in providing information using oxygen in an unapproved chamber. Therefore, if you ask a question about using your home chamber or which involves the use of a soft chamber with oxygen, etc. it will not be approved. If there is pertinent and factual information which involves your safety posted, it will be approved as a message to the group. There is a group set up for mhbot but the only professionals you will find on it are those involved in the use of the mhbot, either renting them or otherwise promoting their use for profit. I think there can be a great future in portable chambers and they can be a wonderful thing, especially since the ignorance that prevails in the medical profession has the attitudes it presently has on HBOT. When that happens with a safe chamber and factual information utilizing facts and not the propaganda of Oxyhealth or any company to sell their chambers, the information will be allowed on this list and the professionals on this list will be happy to participate. At the present time, if a professional tells the truth or gives the facts on the safe use of mild chambers, the get attacked by an angry parent who has paid thousands of dollars for a chamber not approved for oxygen use and approved only for use to treat altitude sickness. If you presently have a soft chamber, please continue to use it without oxygen and in a manner which is safe for your child. But PLEASE do regular HBOT with oxygen at least once a year to provide the results your child deserves. Someday, the greed and agendas which are the enemy of anyone trying to get proper care using hbot will be reduced so we can all work together to provide optimum results for your child, but until that happens, you are at the mercy of everyone who has an opinion. When you hear an opinion, first look at the Agenda of the person giving the opinion and then weigh the opinion using the facts available to support that opinion. My health has failed considerably in the last year and I am becoming more limited in my involvement in this industry and there will be some happy faces when I am totally gone. When that happens you will probably be subjected to only one-sided and biased information designed to provide profit for someone so you will need to look at it with an open mind. Ultimately, the only person making decisions for your child's treatments and safety is you. Your decision is final and is the decision which will involve the future quality of life for the rest of your child's life. You are a great group of wonderful parents. I know many of you do not agree with me but that is your right and I respect it. I hope you understand what I am trying to accomplish. thanks to all for being a member of this list and especially thanks to the professional members of this list for giving your time to help.
