Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 From: on [mailto:jamesinspace@...] http://www.ms-selfhelp.org <http://www.ms-selfhelp.org> If you live in the UK then HBOT appears to be an accessible and relatively inexpensive treatment option. I called up my local MS therapy centre and they run a course of 20 dives each to 33 feet for an hour at a cost of £4 per dive, maintenance tx is then one dive a week at £6. PWME welcome. You need your GP's approval. [skari, M] This is so cheap its almost unbelievable. The HBOT center in Denver charges $600/hour. Do you have any idea if this site can be used by people from outside the country? Thanks for the link. Will show it to my friend with MS.

I just called my local centre but it is set on ansaphone, if you are unable to find out about their position on international patients let me know and I will try again during the week. There are over 30 centres in the UK and more in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. My local is: Solent MS Therapy Centre, 54-56 Hewett Road, North End, Portsmouth, PO2 0QP, Tel/Fax: +44 (0) 2392 699 116 Matt, I have some other protocols in mind to try first such as B12 injections if I can get it from s Pharmacy. Like you I have financial restrictions as to what treatments I can try but at these prices HBOT is accessible for me. If I try this I will keep the list posted. ===== on Hampshire, UK jamesinspace@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 When we first started looking into HBO for my son he was 4 and we were going to go to the UK becasue the price was better. They were going to treat my son. Now that not to say that maybe they have new rules. But I talk to families all the time and some of them have had treatments and still getting HBO and there children are way under 16.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 We were in England 2 & 1/2 years ago, and they were definitely treating children under 16. 50% of kids I saw at this center were under 10. florence > I have just been told by a parent in the UK that the centres > there will not treat a child under age 16.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 My son received HBOT at a center in the UK, right outside of London, when he was 13. There were many children younger than he is who were there for HBOT also. W. > > I have just been told by a parent in the UK that the centres > > there will not treat a child under age 16.
