Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Hi, I haven't done HBOT yet, but I searched around for the same thing not too long ago. The parents of kids with autism seemed to all say the same. (that have done HBOT) The kids improve in fine motor and gross motor skills. It seems that everyone says that the child's behavior improves immediately after begining HBOT. A few have added new words to their vocabulary. Also, some parents said that their children seemed happier after HBOT. I spoke with Hartsoe at Miracle Mt. in North Carolina regarding HBOT. They started their HBOT facility April 2000 mostly for children with Cerebral Palsy. (His grandchild has Cerebral Palsy) But, he said since some with CP also have autism, they have been taking children with autism too. And he said that they have (surprising to him) had more success with the kids with autism than with CP. I thought that this was encouraging. (for HBOT with autism) One more thing, the mom's said that some of the changes were over time. The following several months. I think that where HBOT can help heal the cells, the child still has to go through the developmental/learning steps to see the benefits. Good luck! Please keep us posted. I am very much interested in doing HBOT, as well. > Has anyone used Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment for autism??

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I believe Andy says it is not good for mercury-toxic individuals. Hence we are looking into it after chelation is complete.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Dear , I did one series of hyperbaric oxygen treatment ( 100 hours) and found it to be quite beneficial. When I called to sign up for the second series, they told me they were no longer doing lyme patients. It was very beneficial, as it forces oxygen into the cells as you are under pressure. It enhances the effect of antibiotics by getting deeper into your tissues. In my case, more than one series was needed to help kill everything off. My insurance did not cover any of the treatments--I had MESSA. If you can afford it, it's very helpful. from Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 : Check out the website below for the Chico Hyperbaric Oxygen Center. It is in California, but might prove to be a good resource. Mitch Hogarrd (sp?) runs it and is very knowledgeable about lyme. He is a pharmacist and his family has lyme. He might be willing to talk to you if you have hard to answer questions. I saw him speak recently about pharmacology and lyme. He said that he considers HBO an adjunct to antibiotic treatment rather than a stand alone treatment. Especially in resistant cases. It is rather expensive. I've heard that insurance will pay for it for some conditions. If it was cheap or I had lots of money, I would try it for sure.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I too would be interested to learn about hyperbarics for autism. Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Greetings: I have been asked by a friend to inquire whether anyone has any experience, positive or negative, with hyperbaric oxygen treatment for a child with autism. Also, would there be interest in seeking this treatment if a center was available in Central TX? Thank you. Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Has any one here tried hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBO treatments)? There is a clinic in Georgia that is giving these treatments (and other treatments) and also has a HBO chamber which can be rented or purchased for use at home. Their web sites are: http://www.hbotreatment.com and http://www.netphysician.com I am not recommending these treatments--I have never tried them. I don't know much about hyperbaric oxygen treatments and if anyone here has tried them, I would like to know about their experience. Of course, I would really be interested if anyone has tried this particular type of portable chamber at home and would be willing to share his/her experience. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give. Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 > Yes I have the portable home chamber and it has saved my life. Jill, I know I do not see you post as much as in the past. Is this because you are feeling so much better? Do you feel that the HBO chamber is the difference for you? Please let us know what brand you have and if you do not mind, how much did it cost?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I went through a really rough period actually. My chamber had a seam leak and required shipping out for repair and I was without it for a full month. During that time my super put oil based polyurethane on my door temporarily poisoning my system, both my computers broke and one is dead the other repaired, I then got an external hard drive to protect all my data, then just for fun my lamp broke, my shower filter burst, and my bathroom ceiling flooded and crashed in from construction upstairs, filling my place with mold. Also during that time I tried a rife-like device for 4 hours per the instructionso f the insane chiro who invented it and was severely damaged. Just when you're getting better the dark forces throw everything else at you they can . I'm doing better now. My chamber is back and I started using it 4-5 times a week rather than once or twice a week (after you get the bugs back in control and feel better, you don't need it as often). I also discovered I have babesia so I need to treat that. So this list isn't quite on track for me as before. The chambers cost from $10,000-$20,000. I think its probably individual but for me I would be nonfunctoinal without it. I shudder to think. I felt so sick by the end of the month fo not having it. This proves it only keeps the bugs somewhat in check but thank God for that or I don't know if I'd be alive today. > > Yes I have the portable home chamber and it has saved my life. > > Jill, > > I know I do not see you post as much as in the past.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 - I too underwent local radiation to my iliac crest and sacrum. The local radiation was effective for a time though I relapsed. I underwent HBO therapy only after five years had passed. While the HBO therapy helped me walk better that day, it did not help long term. I suffer from lumbo sacral plexopathy- nerve damage- it has been progressive since the radiation back in '96- slowly but progressive. Please consider supplementation before, during and after therapy- http://multiplemyeloma.peoplebeatingcancer.org/pbc/search?pbc_sitename=All & keys=\ supplementation%2C+radiation This link is to the peoplebeatingcancer.org site- I searched the terms supplementation and radiation- all I can say is, if I knew then what I know now... this is a video of a walkathon- this is how I walk now.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at home we purchased it used but in good shape. I find it definitely helps. From: <gashmand@...> Sent: Tue, Dec 14, 2010 Does anyone have any experience with the Oxygen Hyperbaric Treatment? It is said to be the best treatment for the effects of radiation therapy and for bone tissue reconstruction. I have recently been diagnosed with a metastasized tumor on my ilium bone (lower back) and will undergo radiation next week. On that note, has anyone here had experience with a carcinoma on the salivary gland, metastasizing in the bone? Doctors say my case is very rare. One doctor said he had 1 case besides mine in 35 years. They claim it is incurable, but I haven't lost hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I would not even think about doing radiation , please do your own homework. Got to a naturalpathic doctor first, there are many many natural ways to kill tumors. Click on the internet Cancer Cures, unreal the info is there for all of us to share. We have to change our beliefs, Medical Marfia out there has Brain washed us over the years, they keep telling us that there are no cures.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Improvement of attention span and reaction time with hyperbaric oxygen treatment in patients with toxic injury due to mold exposure.  Toxic chemical exposure such as mold and mycotoxins can significantly affect brain function in children and adults. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi, usually molds, which can cause injury to animals or humans. It has been shown that these effects may last for years after toxic exposure has ceased. Exposure to toxins, including mold, can lead to significant long-lasting impairment of brain function, often inducing temporary to permanent disability. Typical complaints include impairment of short-term memory, intermittent disorientation, disturbed balance and coordination, inability to multi-task, and impairment of attention span and reaction time. Sick building syndrome (SBS) may be caused by exposure to mold and mold toxins. Symptoms of SBS, a widely described but poorly understood constellation of symptoms that has been observed in certain persons in “sick†buildings, include headaches, poor concentration, fatigue, memory loss, dry skin, and itchy eyes. This is seen in adults as well as young people.  Full Text Link: http://ukpmc.ac.uk/articles/PMC2998645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
