Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 catherine! so nice to hear from you again - hope all is well. , , etal I spoke with Dr Uszler prior to our CA trip in June. A really *smart* man - I was quite impressed with his knowledge on the subject. I heard that he was trained by Dr Mena as well? We considered having 's SPECT done at SMITA because they do take all forms of BCBS but they were quite insistant on a) keeping the IV in for 15 min and sedating him. Carmen has done 2 beautiful SPECTs on without having to do either. So we decided to give Brain Matters a try - but guess who reviewed the scans for them? Dr Uszler. My concern about the item below was the HBOT and ASD connection. Dr Uszler is connected to Brain Matters. Brain Matters is connected to Dr Goldberg. Dr Goldberg is against HBOT (for good reasons). I'm noticing a little problem here .... doris land Posted by: " catherine quinn " quinn.cat1968@... <mailto:quinn.cat1968@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Dr%20Uszler%2C%20Brain%20SPEC\ T%20and%20HBOT> quinn.cat1968 <quinn.cat1968> Tue Aug 29, 2006 6:13 am (PST) We saw Dr Uzler a few years ago, a very nice man. He told me his involvement with HBOT was because he saw real improvement in the brains of children that used HBOT after doing the pre-hbot spect scan, and then the post hbot treatment spect scan. I honestly would consider this, since this man is a reputable doctor, and he really beieves in it. but california is too, too far away, and local providers here for hbot therapy are in it for the money. Also my husbands bcbs will not pay for it. Perhaps hbot maybe something we should look at, especially when I see somone as reputable as Dr Uzler involved, but honestly, we can't afford it on my husband's salary. I know of a mom on another website (reversing autism) that bought her own hbot therapy machine for $6,000....but for us that too is way too much money.. The improvement with this however must be marginal, because if it was so great, I would think it would be out in the press front and center, so it may provide a little help, but I don't think it is significant enough to pursue making the $6,000 investment that one mom did. I could buy alot of prespcriptions and lab tests with that kind of money.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi - I just wanted to add.... There's not really any dispute about whether HBOT helps autism or not, since the blood flow decrease is evident, as well as the effect HBOT has on restoring some of that blood flow. The debate is more on the safety, and the risk of hot spots, as well as whether 'forcing' the blood flow into inflamed areas is really a good idea, plus that it's not targeting the underlying cause... Apparently Dr G can work w/Dr U despite his (previously vehemently expressed) differences of opinion. Now, if one doc tried recruiting the other doc's patients, that would be quite another story. lol!
