Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Lynn, It would be most helpful to many of us if we could read if the Doctor's positions in all the areas you mentioned. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, former Governor of Wisconsin may possibly be a friend. I have heard that Secretary(governor) is interested in HBOT and has been recently briefed by some of ;our people. From what you say, the Doctor must have strong convictions and a wealth of experience. Do you have his e-mail address and we could encourage him to speak ;out on the internet.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 : Perhaps there is some information posted on their website, www.foxvalleywellnesscenter.com, with regard to their position on treating with HBOT. I can say that Dr. Meress is relatively new to HBOT for neurological conditions as his clinic/chamber opened just last spring. However, he did work for a time in the ER at the one- and-only hospital with a chamber in our area so he probably has previous HBOT experience and he does have extensive experience in other " alternative " treatments such as IV therapy and is a huge proponent of homeopathic treatment options. When I toured his clinic, I did mention to his marketing director that there is quite an established pro-HBOT-for-neurological-conditions online community and, in fact, I passed several of the list names (including this one) along to them but am not sure if they have taken steps to join the list and/or actively participate. They are not interested in accepting Medicaid-reimbursed patients so this list would probably not be of interest to them. As for your comments regarding our *esteemed* former Governor and current Secretary of HHS: It would surprise me if Secretary supported HBOT as he is, IMO, not an out of the box thinker but, OTOH, perhaps the evidence was so overwhelming that he couldn't help but be convinced. Both his wife and his daughter have been/are battling breast cancer and perhaps these brushes with mortality have made him realize that the conventional medical community might not have *all* the answers? It would certainly be a great thing to have him on our side although rumor has it that he won't stay on if Bush is re-elected. Anyway, you are welcome to contact Dr. Meress via his website and encourage him to more actively participate in this and other HBOT lists. I'm sure he'd be a welcome addition.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Dr. Meress has joined our Roundtable discussion group and his clinic does treat neurological injury. They are interested in helping to advance HBOT for brain injury.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Egads, I should learn to keep my mouth shut or be more clear. I did not mean to imply that Dr. Meress didn't treat neurological conditions only that he just began doing so when his chamber opened last spring. I am glad to hear that he has joined your group as I know our area (NE Wisconsin) will greatly benefit from any advancement that can be made with regard to HBOT for BI. It is also my hope that he will be so inspired by the group that he will be willing to participate in the fight in our area to get neurological treatment covered by insurance and/or Medicaid. Again, I was not attempting to speak for Dr. Meress, only pass on what I know about him in case anyone is interested in his lecture or his clinic. 'Nuf said?
