Re: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen chamber Cost and prospects

[Guest guest]

Hi:That is the reason I have been researching the most economical way to do this treatment. One of the things that I proposed was to share the chamber with other parents. The discussion is all over the place but I am not sure if parents have contacted each other or not. Although, I also wrote that If you need someone to coordinate the renting and sharing of the chamber for the parents that will be beneficial and not to leave it a simple post.I have been visiting places that offer oxygen treatment and some of them go up to $60.00 per session (30 to 45 min) in a mild chamber. At the beginning is important to get clearance from the doctor and a protocol to be safe.It is also important to educate yourself from a a good source. As far I understand it is not harmful but all

depends on your child condition.We are taking about 1,300 to cover the basic steps to go up to 20 sessions. Which at some point may be affordable for most of us.Regardless, I also know that there are opportunities to be informed and try some sessions for free to get the family into the experience and decide later when you have the money. It has been posted here from therapy4kids and also they are willing to have a coffee and explain about their program. It is not the only provider that offers that opportunity and economical rate. I am looking for more providers. Money is essential as you know but not less important education.I appreciate your comments.Jeannette SuarezTo: sList Sent: Thu, January 20, 2011 1:51:54 PMSubject: Re: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen chamber

I've been listening to all this discussion about HBOT and quite frankly if one follows the advice below, that a minimum of 40 hours is required before one sees results, it will be quite a costly "leap of faith." Any family that has a limited budget to spend on autism therapies should think long and hard about committing so many dollars in one basket, so to speak. Just my two cents.From:

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.
