To contact me off-list use kengullan@... or call 619-222-1104 [MedicaidforHDOT] Re: [NeuroHBOT] IAHP bagging and O2 Ken, There's another advantage to masking that is often overlooked and may actually be of much greater, long-term benefit than the " burst of O2. " Within 10 seconds of the masking all the air is depleted, and the child then begins breathing their own CO2. The breathing becomes deeper and stronger as the seconds pass. By the 60th second, the child is taking deep, deep breaths. This exercises and strengthens the child's diaphragm (sp?) in a way that nothing else can. Brain-injured children don't run around in the backyard like well-children and the masking gives them a way to deepen their respiration unlike any other method. When we were in the midst of Jimmy's IAHP program we masked him every five minutes from the time he woke up until the time he went to bed at night, about 90 times a day. We still mask him about 30 times a day. The result is he can breathe deeper, talk more, sing more, and have a better quality of respiration than he would have otherwise. When we did Jimmy's initial round of hyperbaric oxygen, he was masking right up to the moment the door of the chamber shut because I wanted him to be able to breathe as deep as possible. Sadly, it is the masking that pediatric neurologists will often point to as evidence of the " quackery " of IAHP--because the parents are " putting a plastic bag over their kid's head. " Of course, The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential has its problems too. They wouldn't allow us to stay on their program and also do HBOT. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Freels 2948 Windfield Circle Tucker, GA 30084-6714 770/491-6776 (phone and fax) 720/269-5289 (efax, sends fax as email attachment) mailto:dfreels@... http://www.freelanceforum.org/df Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi my name is Jodie and I have a son that is a near drown victim . I have read Iahp's book and done hbot. I did not go to IAHP because of the cost and the bad reviews I heard about them, but I am on a program by a man named Pennock who was a part of the institute and left because of differences. Basically he started with them because he is a father of a brain injured child and he's more interested in helping our children than making money. His program is 1/8th the cost of IAHP and it is pretty much identical. You will not be told its your fault the program doesn't work, I was told to do HBOT in conjunction with the program, and he will help you with in any way he can. His book is called " rescuing your brain injured child " . his institute is called Brain-Net. If you have any questions let me know. Jodie F. > Yes and thanks, !
