Re: SPECT in autism,

[Guest guest]

, do you know of any similar paper or work for autistic children of

normal intelligence?

Andy I think they are all above average, we are treating two now that I know

are brilliant. My own daughter has now a normal SPECT scan, ( after HBOT and

other therapies) the point I am trying to make here is there is a lack of

blood flow and the scans are showing it. If blood flow can be properly

perfused by using HBOT, why not give it a try? I have SPECT scans on my site

if you want to see them Please take a look.

I am just looking for the right combination to help these children,

including my own.

Where are you located? My son has left temporal lobe hypoperfusion on SPECT

and PET and also has seizure acitivity in this area. Do you know Dr.

Steenblock in Orange County?

Yes I know Dr Steenblock, are you having your son treated?

I am in San Bernardino, we have been here since 1993. I can send you some

information about Sz and HBOT. I can mail or send it through the e- mail.

My oldest child developed Sz after a DPT shot at 18 months old.

She was treated with Dr Harch in New Orleans in 1994 and has kept up HBOT

treatments about 4 times a month ever since. Her brain SPECT scan is now

normal. I hope that you will research this form of therapy for your child.

No matter where you go for therapy I wish you the very best in recovery for

your child.

Sincerely,

Dear ,

Yes. Please send me all of the information you can comfortably send by

E-Mail. I hear Dr. Steenblock talk at a conference but he doesn't appear to

have much experience with autistic children in particular (although he is

very experienced in HBOT). My son has limited speech and has had seizure

activity mainly in the left fronto-temporal lobe. His SPECT has shown

decreased metabolism in the left temporal lobe but we haven't repeated it for

two years. I would like to educate myself as much as possible about this

therapy, particularly since I am also a physician. Perhaps HBOT might be the

way to heal damage caused by inflammation. I appreciate all of the help and

information you can provide.

Ken,

Can you tell me a little bit about PET verses SPECT scans? Apparently

they both can show hypoperfusion? I want to pursue this since there

seems to be something that can be done if it is found....

Thanks,

Chris

Dear

SPECT measures blood flow in the brain and PET measures glucose metabolism.

Theoretically they should be closely correlated but sometimes there are

differences. Generally SPECT is much cheaper costing about $350 and PET costs

about $2,500.

So, if you wanted to go this route, would it be safer to chelate first?
