Re: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen chamber

The soft chamber is not 100 % oxygen nor is there the pressure which makes the difference in the hard chamber. You might find it interesting to tour a facility with hard chambers.

I believe HBOT falls into the group of interventions that may help some children but not all. We tried HBOT for about a year and a half and saw very little if any results. And yes, it was intensive almost every day but in a soft chamber.Perhaps a hard chamber would have provided better results, but our experience did not indicate that.We have tried many things over the last 10+ years. We have some basic rules we follow:Least invasive firstInterventions one at a timeEnough time in between to be able to tell what works or notWe never tell teachers or caregivers and use tham as objective observersFollowing these rules we have kept some interventions and stopped others. I consider this proof that our little system works and is particurally helpful when it comes to supplements and vitamins to help us determine what works and what doesn't.If there is anything the autism community can agree on, I believe it is that all our kids are different and all respond to interventions differently. Not saying HBOT isn't effective, just saying it may not be effective for all kids with autism.
