Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi all, Couldn't two, three (or even more?) families band together and share the cost of buying or renting a chamber and share its use?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, this idea has been floating around. I have heard of families doing this successfully in other states. We are very interested! I am willing to purchase one, if there are at least 3 other parents willing to split the cost. If renting how would that work? I'd be willing to rent one and share costs while setting up a schedule. My email is shiriw@... please email me if you are interested!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I was thinking this as well...and if we donated to a non profit org that would support our use it could be a tax write off as well???

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi guys, Just wanted to let you know I talked to my guy at OxyHealth, and he said he would be glad to honor a 10% discount for all 's List members, so that brings the cost of the Viateris down to $17,910. He also said it would be fine if several people put their credit cards together as I would be doing it through my business and then giving him my busness credit card to do the purchase. As far as the rental goes, you could possibly do the same thing. 2 or 3 people put in equal amounts for the depostit ,1st month's rental, and shipping, and I will put that all on my business card (which the deposit is refundable anyway). I will be happy to help out and present other scenarios, whatever you guys come up with, but this sounds fine to me (and OxyHealth). You will just need to get each other's phone numbers and coordinate with whom you would like to share the rental as well as shipping location. Again, my phone number is . If I am with a client, please just leave me a message, and I will call you back as soon as I can.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi I've mentioned that my dr recommended i get a SPECT before starting HBOT - the only response i got was that someone asked what it was - but i'm still wondering if anyone has done it or what have you done to help you make the decision to try HBOT - are there any tests that i can do with my son that would indicate if hbot would be helpful for him? I would really appreciate any guidance in how one comes to the decision to try hbot thanks! > > > > > > From: Eileen de Oliveira - Therapies 4 Kids <eileen@> > > Subject: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen chamber > > To: sList > > Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 11:36 AM > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > We have a non profit that can do that. www.brightstepsforward.org > > Sent via BlackBerrry > > Therapies 4 Kids > > www.therapies4kids.com > > eileen@ > > begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting > > > > > > From: Darla <alfia37@> > > Sender: sList > > Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 23:17:12 -0500 (EST) > > To: <sList > > > ReplyTo: sList > > Subject: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen chamber > > > >  > > > > I was thinking this as well...and if we donated to a non profit org that would support our use it could be a tax write off as well??? > > > > > > > > Regards, > > Darla Haskell > > > > > > renting a chamber > > > >  > > > > How much does it cost to rent a chamber?Is it monthly charge? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 SPECT Scans indicate the blood flow bringing oxygen to the brain. The child has to lie perfectly still (because any movement can alter the reading) for about 40 minutes (maybe less). They inject the child with a radioactive isotope that highlights the areas of the brain where there is normal blood flow and where there is not. HBOT is one way to get increased blood flow to the brain. If the child cannot stay still then they have to be put to sleep. The SPECT Scan is necessary to help get the insurance company to pay for treatment if you have a PPO plan. Otherwise, your physician might want this for him to scientifically see the improvements from HBOT treatment. For parents you will see the improvement in your child regardless of the SPECT Scan. HBOT is beneficial for many reasons...it can address the systemic yeast in the tissue in the body, it increases blood flow to the brain, it can revive the idling neurons in the brain, it improves muscle tone, it's calming to the nervous system, it heals wounds, it improves your skin, it improves breathing capacity, some kids even improve cognitive functioning, speech, and language ....HOWEVER, there are two types of HBOT - the hard chamber HBOT in a center that provides 100% oxygen under pressure with an ATA (atmospheric pressure) of usually 1.5 to 1.7 for autism. We are at sea level which is 1.0 or 1.1. - to give you an idea. Now the mild hyperbaric in the bags were originally designed by Dr. Neubauer, the father of HBOT as an adjunct to the hard chamber to keep the existing oxygen levels high between HBOT sessions. The bags have an ATA of 1.3 because there is no pressurized oxygen, therefore many more treatments are required with mild HBOT than with the hard chamber. Please note that improvements are over a period of time after a number of sessions. Sessions in a hard chamber are usually one hour and an ten minutes to bring the pressure down and another added ten minutes to bring the pressure back up. Usually a parent will begin to see significant improvement after 20 sessions. With the hard chamber sessions can be spread out over time. Hope this helps...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 To find out if HBOT is going to be effective for your child all you can do is try it. You will need to make that same leap of faith that the rest of us made when we decided to try it and know that you will need a minimum of 40 hours in the chamber before you will really know, but I started to see real changes in my son around 16 hours. We do one hour a day six days a week. I personally would skip the SPECT scan probably useless. renting a chamber > > > > Â > > > > How much does it cost to rent a chamber?Is it monthly charge? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
