Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 I'm very interested in this... Every time I enquire about it, I get told the same thing: " This is not an approved treatment for Autism and it wouldn't be covered by Insurance. That being the case, we won't do this for your child because the treatments would cost hundreds of dollars. " A pretty big brick wall on this one so far. If you have any information about a clinic in Iowa or Missouri, please let me know. How inexpensive is relatively inexpensive? Leigh. *********************** I only know a good bit about Florida and Calif. clinics. they are $100 per treatment, but the Florida one can be less as it can be shared. A condition like this would need at least 20 treatments, so the treatment and other costs would be over $2000. Autism is not an approved condition for HBOT for insurence, but it probably should be. Politics rules. You can find clinics and info on the web by search. I have lots of info at work. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 I've read some of the web info on hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but how does it actually work? Would a child be hooked up to a machine and have to remain still. I don't know anyone who has used it, but know it's available in Canada. I recall seeing a show on a mother in Montreal who was using it for her twin boys who have CP. Joyce Toronto *************************** Hyperbaric Oxygen is done through a hyperbaric chamber. You go in a chamber that will withstand 2 atmosheric pressures and breath oxygen while in chamber. You can read or etc. while in Chamber. Some chambers have space for more than one. It usually takes at least 20 treatments for a significant neurological condition. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 I mostly agree with what Andy says about HBOT, though my experience with people who've used it is mostly not related to mercury toxicity but other conditions. My sister is a neurologist and her husband works with it. There are a lot who have been helped with conditons like OCD and other conditions that have areas of reduced blood flow that show up on SPECT scans before but improve with treatment. Autism has SPECT scan results similar to OCD in this regard often. So it might help after detox if needed. Mercury is known to cause reactive oxygen species which cause neurological damage, etc. so it is likely better to wait until after detox to consider HBOT.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 HBOT helps heal cells. Healing like that doesn't wear off. BUT... past mold exposure does not make you immune to new injuries from new exposures. In fact, the opposite is true. People who have been sensitized to mold are MUCH more prone to additional injury from even mild new exposures. Often, after that first exposure pushes them into illness, they are at much higher risk of further injury if/when they get exposed again. Thats why its important for responsible parties to remove mold, and not just cover it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 HBOT Re: Miracle Mountain HBOT sessions I would like to add that although Miracle Mountain operates almost at cost, if there is someone who cannot come because of additonal expenses like groceries while you are here and if that will keep your child from getting hbot, contact me personally and I will personally provide groceries or whatever it takes to help you get hbot for your child. We operate so closely at MM that I will do it out of my own pocket and it will be confidential. Contact me personally at rhartsoe@... and I'll try to help you in anyway possible.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I believe Dr G's theory is we should treat the root of the problem not the symptoms, and go one step at a time, so that we know what helped and what not. These supplements may be helpful but they may cause other effects that are not apparently seen. If you go one medicine at a time then you know for sure what helped and what not and this way you can develop an effective treatment course. Â As far as I know, I'm done with the guessing game and on trying whatever is out there without a true guidance. I'm done with the game of shooting in the dark and I will focus my energy and money in making this treatment works. It makes sense and makes more sense to only try one thing at the time and monitor that. I tried the guessing game for years and didn't see permanent gains. It is always the same, it works at the beginning then it fades off and hundreds of dollars out the pocket. Enough is enough. ... just my opinion Hi~ Just curious out there if any of you have done HBOT despite the guidance from Goldberg and others against? We see Dr. Goldberg.
