Dear and Group.

Yesterday my wife completed her fourth dive with dr. Stauch, ndale.

Her therapist, Jackie, at Woodmont, said her walking was better yesterday and

she walked the length of the hallway twice with the walker, but the most

significant responses are her increased use of her weak arm and hand and her

ability to stand when requested unassisted. Dr. Stauch says it will be

another five or so when we will see some real improvements. My wife nods

strongly that it is helping her and she is more than ready to get underway.

She is now lifting her right arm almost to the sun visor and that is her

objective because it has mirror on the reverse side and she needs to note the

fact that she needs lipstick. What a miraculous journey we are on, the

restoration of her life and mine.

[Guest guest]

Dearest !!! Oh I am so Happy for both of you!! what a wonderful day

these are for you!! I am so glad she began treatment, I am so happy this

day has come!! Please tell me more! what are they treating her at?

I am going to get her some lipstick, a Dozen lipsticks!! Please tell me

all about it!

Dear :

My wife is being treated by Dr. Stauch at h; is Integrated Medical Clinic

in ndale, Va. Dr. Stauch is a Research Scientist in blood chemistry.

He has been doing HBO for about 20 or so years. I recall when hew was trying

to buy a chamber, but didn't have. He has had much success treating all the

tough ones, stroke, cancel and heart attack residuals, plus all sorts of

diseases which respond to HBOT and EDTA, and of course he has other therapies

that I don't comprehend, not being a doctor. He told me that my wife should

show some real improvement by next Friday. She talked to a Navy Captain,

Capt. Ken , who; completely recovered after 17 or 19 HBOT, also an

Admiral before him that now lives in Pensacola and I must out his name and

call him. The Admiral had been sent to Dr. Stauch by the Navy. We are so

excited about her progress to date that I can hardly think of anything else,

but I must pay the bills and keep things moving at home. The distance to

ndale is 65 m miles and about 40, miles from my wife's Rehab Center. Its

on the outskirts of D.C. WarmRegards.

Dear :

Yes, we are all God's children and we are under His care. I know He is

smiling on the miraculous work you are doing with your patients, and the

detail you provide an opportunity to evaluate of the improvements, and to note

the depths which have proved most effective. How far is from your

facility? The snow storms are incredible for March, but we're heading north

today and hope the snow ploughs have cleared the way. Thus far Lee's main

improvement Haas been her ability to stand up without a boost, also her

walking is improving and she takes 8 or 10 steps without a walker, but with

someone by her side to make sure she doesn't fall. Her cognitive strength and

general awareness much improved after 5 HBOT.s Today will be the sixth and

I'll keep you posted. It looks as if CP therapies success may open the door

for all brain-damaged victims. Best Regards,

Dear I am treating a RSD now, I wrote , SHe is OUT of pain in

two treatments!

I am so glad to hear of your wifes success, God Is good isn't he!

Todd is 4 ½ years old. He already underwent 32 HBO Treatments, ending

May 31, 1998. It’s been a full 6 months since his last treatment and on

December 3, 1998, he began another series of treatments. This time

totaling 35.

With the generosity of and her family, they opened the

doors of their clinic, Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics, for Todd to be their

first toddler patient. The chamber was a monoplace, unlike England

where it was a multiplace one. After the initial treatment, Todd and I

settled in the roomy and cozy chamber and became quite comfortable in

its spacious interior. Todd would sit facing the rear of the chamber

watching his favorite videos from the rear porthole, absorbing the

oxygen and I would lie facing the opposite direction reading a book or

chatting with, as Todd would call her, " Captain ! "

After only eight treatments we noticed that Todd was sitting straighter

in his KidKart and not falling off to one side. I also noted he was

reaching out to grab for farther distances. The first 12 treatments

were to 24 feet. Within those first 12 treatments I also noted he was

getting to side lying in the bath tub and that his legs were less

spastic. (NOTE: After not having treatments for 6 months the only

regression noted in Todd was the fact that his spascity started to creep

back in. He was still looser prior to our California trip than he was

prior to our England trip.)

Our next 4 treatments would be to 20 feet and the changes were

minimal. We then tried our remaining treatments at 16 feet and saw more

noticeable improvements. His energy level increased, he was holding

himself up using an overhead bar in the chamber and supporting his total

body weight. He easily started using his pointer finger on his left

side. He bilaterally put a piece of paper behind his head and he pulled

himself from the playroom rocking chair up to a standing position at the

play kitchen.

Overall, these treatments have given him a reduction in spascity and he

his stronger to move his wheelchair, Standing Dani and to take more

purposeful steps in his Kaye walker. He’s more focused on tasks at

hand, listens better, visually attend to books and in a classroom

setting listen to the teacher and directions better. He even began,

within 1 ½ months after our last treatment, to potty train and has had

several days of complete dryness!

I full-heartedly believe in Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments for Todd and

for children with Cerebral Palsy. I’ve seen first hand the benefits.

Some people would like to argue with me that these changes I’ve seen

with Todd are growth developments and that he would eventually

accomplish these things sometime in the future. Perhaps this is true.

However, don’t I owe it to Todd to open these doors years ahead of what

might naturally occur during his physically delayed growth

developments? Wouldn’t I rather he walked independently at 6 or 7 years

of age rather than 11 or 12? And what a greater world is open to him

now that he’s speaking in complete sentences and able to show all around

him how wonderfully bright and intelligent he really is.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, for Todd, has allowed him to cross many more

bridges in this past year than any other form of therapy I’ve been able

to offer him. As long as this treatment is affordable to our family, I

will make it possible for him to benefit from it.

I would be more than happy to talk with any families having questions

about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Sincerely,

Debbie Nardone

Dear Debbie

Todd's story.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story with me. I am delighted

that he has made such progress. This would NOT have taken place as a

result of normal growth. Indeed the the opposite is true - the

problem tends to get worse not better as the child gets older. Many

children who are apparently normal at birth and have full arm and leg

function then deteriorate. Following this delayed deterioration has

been possible through ultrasound scanning after birth which is able

to detect damage in the critical areas. It may take up to 2 years for

spasticity to develop. The treatment has to be prolonged and this is

evident in Todd with the return of the spasticity. It is not possible

to use a fixed protcol in treatment because the damage in children

varies so much. Also the changes you describe require the detailed

observations only possible living with a child. I hope that Todd

continues to improve and my best regards to everyone at Rapid

Recovery Hyperbarics.

Best wishes

Hope this will encourage others to take heed to over-dosing medications..and this gal has been on drugs years that her doctor prescribed.. And I could name you others that have been telling me the same thing about their drugs..once off they are indeed a new person.And because they are listening to what I'm telling them about parasites, and the proper foods to eat..and the way to prepare food..

I thank God that her sister has come to the rescue..and that many of us out here have been trying to get her off these condemning drugs. She will find over a period of time that natural health will come from herbs.

Hey there,

I had just clicked on to ICQ and you had just clicked off. I think I have some great news. I truly believe I have been overmedicated. Today I have walked without a cane and even jogged up the steps!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!! I quit taking one of my meds last Thursday and today I actually feel I could walk 100 miles. I am going to get off all of these drugs. I truly believe that is what has been making me ill. I am going to take herbal/all natural things. My sister said she thought I was being overmedicated but I was too "stoned" so to speak to realize it. I just can't get over how I feel today. thanks for all of your info. Hopefully I will get online when you do.

Love,

Christie

a,

Awesome, awesome news! Way to go ! Hope you have it on video.

Funny how you mention this bizarre behavior that is

experiencing. Ok, sorry I should really say is experiencing

some bizarre behavior. Now, remember is not under any type of

meds, or any trials of anything. But, for this past week he has

shown this on what you've described. Yesterday, he was not as

cooperative, needed constant help during his AM routine for school,

slow mode but just had no interest with the steps. Then of all

places where he has done well and he looks forward attending school

it took about an hour for him to enter the classroom. Agitated

coming off the bus. Lethargic, continues to tell them that he wants

to go outside to the bus stop and says " mom " . meaning he wants mom

to pick him up.

When he arrives home, does not follow his routine, straight to bed.

He has not been wanting to watch any videos. Only comes out if he's

hungry or thirsty. He is also back into his stripping routine but I

redirect him wearing at least his boxer brief shorts and a simple

loose fitting t-shirt, must be white, too. Who knows whats going

with their inner-clock system? Hope we will find an answer. Good

luck with . Hugs!

Would love to see her. And you...where've you been lately?

Am breathing a sigh of relief for Cinda .... have been on pins and needles

since news of her difficulties began. I'm so happy to finally hear that

she's home and doing well. Now for the business of recovery.

Cindee - what was wrong? Didn't realize you were ill. Keep me updated

woman! How can I be a proper angel if you don't keep me informed. Jeez.

Pool party - shall I bring cookies? Or would that not be such a good idea.

The other thing I'm into right now is Ceviche. I could bring that. Or I

could bring both. Please advise.

Ta ta for now.

+Dave I just go to the phonebook... close my eyes, and dial the first

number my finger lights on;) This time I happened to end up in the " Fool "

category by accident (VBG)

This one got his MD and his rheumatology training at Mayo Clinic! You'd

think that would count for something!!!!! Apprently not...*sigh

I have no other options. I've been to every dr in Lincoln or Omaha that I

can. I'm stuck. I have nowhere else to go. I'll just have to, as he said,

" Trust him " and hope that he's right.. If not I'm just resigned for the

most part. I'm totally disillusioned. Past frustrated. I have no strength

to be frustrated anymore.. I'm going to try and do asmuch for myself as I

can....but I don't think that will help. That's all I can do though.

I will keep on as long as I can. I think the thing that bothers me the

most is the fatigue...it is so mind-blowing. I wish I could get past that

somehow but I believe the drugs and my liver are the biggest culprits. And

if he won't switch drugs what do I do. Just have to cut back on my

activities..limit them.... I feel like I'm just sinking down into some pit

I can't get out of--- I had so planned to appl for this teaching job at

Union College. It is just one class a week. I thought I could handle it

but the way I have been feeling....not sure of that at all....

Your prayers are much much appreciated +Dave, Ray, and all who have been

praying for me. I'm at the lowest point of my life right now....too tired

to look for answers anymore.. I feel like i''m dimly aware of things but

that is fading and i think that is my mind's attempt to protect me or help

me cope.. I don't think it is the best way. I need to deal with it but i

don't know how.

My one therapist told me awhile back I just need to accept things.. to

embrace them. realise they are a part of me and don't fight it.... I don't

like that idea at all....seemed like self-defeating attitude.

Well--that's all for now.

My doctor told me the opposite....

" That only I could cure myself " .....and in order to do that, I would have to

give it all I had.

I have never believed in just falling over and dieing.

I think we have to fight and use every resource available.

Did is the operative word here....my whole outlook is changing and I do'nt

like it. I've always been such a fighter. but it is so tiring now...No

matter what I do nothing is working at all. So why try--I have a little

bit of fight left in me..but not much. I feel like I'm on a board headed

into a buzz saw watching it happening but too tired to get out of the way.

I'm sort of standing to one side in a detached manner watching myself

headed for a bad ending ---

I don't like that---

Don't get discouraged Liz, it took me almost 30 years to find the

right

doctors. Two of the doctors who treated me well in the 80's have

retired,

one only making it a year after retirement and dying.

I can remember one doctor telling me that my pain was all in my

head. So I

asked him to refer me to a Psychiatrist. He did and the Psychiatrist

sent

me to an Orthopedist. It was the Ortho that got things on the right

track.

Unfortunately, he went bonkers and commited suicide.

So, I still see the same psychiatrist today and we are friends, and I

have a

good orthopod, internarheumy, and Family Doc. My orthopod knows

pain, he

has more new parts than anyone I know.<GBG>

The last time I saw my internarheumy was in one of the hospital

corridors

and he asked how I was doing. I told him about the sciatica and he

said,

" well, there is not much we can do about that. " " Just treat the

pain. " Of

course he made a joke about seeing me so many times at the ICU,

usually

giving some one the last rites. Growing old is not a lot of fun when

folk

in my age group are dropping like flies. When that happens I tend to

thank

God for the pain I feel everyday.

Dear Liz,

Some of what you have developed seems to me to be a deep deep depression,

and I do think that is treatable. I know that you are physically and mentally

at a bottom point now, but are you on an antidepressant? Have you considered

one? Just a thought. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Debby

Liz, how about hormones? I was in what was called a menopausal depression,

and is fully treatable by... taking birth control pills. Oh My... I feel SO

Much better! I didn't realize I was even in a depression...just everything

seemed so... blah, and I felt unhappy... was easily upset...

Hope you can feel better soon!
