Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Dear : I don't know if this is what was discussed the other day (what you referred to) or not, but here are my thoughts about prevention vs. treatment. I think every hospital should have a hyperbaric chamber in the ER and/or delivery room. An example would be a baby is born and there is a concern that the baby suffered some lack of oxygen at birth for any number of reasons - that baby should be placed into the chamber. In Mexico, they have shown that CP can be literally avoided by placing a newborn in the chamber for one treatment for one hour and it literally reverses a lifetime of challenges. The other scenario would be - if a near drowning came into the ER - for them to get that child/patient into the chamber as soon as possible to get oxygen back into the tissues to prevent damage. One scenario that Dr. Neubauer talks about is getting a stroke victim into the chamber as soon as possible after the actual stroke. He said that they are conducting studies worldwide on this and are getting very good results. My mom had a very severe stroke and we were outside the US when it happened. We got her life-flighted home to Texas and on her 12th day post stroke, she was evaluated and cleared for HBO. Because of her stroke she had lost all her vision, all the feeling on the right side of her body and she could not walk, feed herself, her voice was even a different tone. She had no balance because she could not feel the right side of her body. Her shortterm memory was completely gone as well. She did 30 treatments. We noticed within 2-3 treatments that her was regaining balance. She then started regaining feeling in her body. Her vision returned. Her memory returned. By her 20th treatment - she was driving herself to the clinic!!! She amazed everyone around her - especially her primary care physician. He said he had NEVER seen anyone recover from such a severe stroke, and so quickly. She is a walking, talking example of what can happen if you get into that chamber ASAP following a stroke. These cases are prevention - treat before there is a problem. Don't hold off on HBO until you are dealing with all kinds of neurological symptoms. Instead of giving HBO as a preventative measure - to prevent further damage and loss of brain tissue - just the opposite is done. Treatment is given to parents and families who have had to search out for this as a treatment option because their child or loved one has CP or had a stroke or brain injury. Now we are dealing with brain injury that may have been mostly eliminated or greatly reduced if only we could have had HBO originally. My son has done very well with HBO and if we had not discovered this treatment, who knows where my mom would be right now, status post stroke. In my opinion, withholding oxygen (in this case HBO) from any patient that has had a lack of oxygen in any situation should be criminal. Good luck with your interview tomorrow and please keep us posted on how it goes. Sincerely, Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 ..... What a conicidence. We are taking my son Connor to Ability Camp for the Feb 10- March 14 session. He will be doing Conductive Therapy and HBOT combined during that time. I am hoping to see lots of progress. There is someone else on this list that has a child at Ability Camp as we speak, they were doing the Jan session. I think it is Ed? I know he contacted me and told me it would be there first time going there too. (I didn't keep a hard copy of the letter we emailed eahother... even though I thought I had) My son suffers from a Tramatic Brain Injury caused by an accident on July 7th 2002. I know the camp does a lot of CP children.... but Brain Injury is Brain Injury... regardless of how it is received. I am very excited/nervous and nervous about leaving my family for 5 weeks, but am very anxious to see the progrss that is made during our trip!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Dear , As for me, the impact that HBOT has had on our family I can hardly begin to explain, See the testimonials on the website, http://www.hbot4u.com/testimonials.html As for my three daughters, abnormal brain Spect scans, Non verbal, auto immune disorders, Sz and the list goes on, now my beautiful daughters are able to lead normal life's. As for the patients we treat, I am always amazed at the results, Some are faster than others, and still others leave walking!! Many of our patients use HBOT for prevention, some to keep their minds mentally alert and retain memory, others maintain wellness after an illness or back injury, Dr Underwood and I find that combine with Vitamin I.V. drips which include B-12, minerals and trace minerals is a excellent combination. As for me, I started as a patient who had Lupus, I have tested neg since 1993 and recently a bone density test revealed a bone age of 27years. ( Which does not correspond to the rest of the age related females in my family) Dr Underwood himself uses HBOT for the anti aging affects. If I could treat one disorder I would be torn between near drown children and RSD. However, If I had one request in life, just one, I would ask that the ER room and delivery rooms have Chambers for the new borns and the children who go to the ER for the many drownings,and Closed head Injury. I hope you succeed in helping families explore the many uses of HBOT! what a wonderful opportunity! Best Wishes, CHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Dear , I forgot to include this very important part, Most Medical Doctors and studies now are revealing that Inflammation is the bottom line of diseases or disorders, Nothing that we have found will dramatically reduce Inflammation like Hyperbarics, the key to health I feel is reduce inflammation, Restore circulation! Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics www.hbot4u.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 , that would be me. My wife and son are there for the first time. Yesterday was the half way point. My wife called me with such enthusiasm and excitement. Our son, who is very severely challenged due to birth injury, was just loving life and really rising up to the challenges that the conductive education offers. Even for a child in as hopeless a situation as he was in, they wanted to put him away into a hospice right out of the NICU, can begin to recover brain functioning slowly one small step at a time. The conductive education is tough, the group living is a challenge, like boot camp, but the people there are wonderful according to my wife and most of all it seems to be working which makes it worthwhile for sure.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 , Agreed, If they put my son into a chamber just after his brain injury during birth, I'm sure he would be much better off than he is today.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 He is beginning to respond to external stimuli, sights, sounds, physical manipulation, people, etc. by showing voluntary movement and bringing his muscle groups into play. He is smiling and showing increased awareness of his surroundings. is making attempts at standing and interacting with the people around him.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 > Tomorrow a journalist from a local newspaper is coming to my house for an Greetings , My thought on this is that you need to present the cost effectiveness of HBOT. Conventional therapies have been studied and for most they don't work no matter what benefits we are seeing in the news these days. The reduction in cost/care will drastically reduce per patient and injury/disease/sickness. We have to drive this message home! Insurance Co. need to hear this message from us loud and clear. As a mother of 4 I have maybe one hour per day to devote to the HBOT cause, besides my daughters therapies. So my presentation is going to be slow in coming, but once it does, it will be dramatic. There are already figures in the archives of this list with backup study references about how much money it takes to pay for our loved ones per year and per lifetime. The bottom line is what we are all concerned about. I hate to say it but it is so true. With Much Respect, Marlena Orndorff > interview.
