Hi Vicki,

Reid pretty much answered your question about Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

(HBOT). Here are some links that explain it further:

The treatments are not cheap, nor does insurance cover it, at least for

the treatment of Lyme disease. I seem to remember years ago

had his picture taken in a coffin like oxygen chamber that he used, probably

for his skin condition.

Hopefully with time this will be an accepted medical treatment and the cost

will be covered by insurance. No need to apologize for not knowing what

this alternative treatment is, I am glad you asked, many on this list

probably wanted to know too.

Hope this helps,

Marta
