They used Hyperbaric oxygen for sports injuries, primarily for soft tissue,

I think. Seem to me like if it can help " soft tissue " heal faster from one

type of injury, it should help from another. But I don't know that for a

fact. On the other hand, I think the danger of HO is minimal. (lot less

danger

than from some other Ho's involved in this matter). So, I was kind of

thinking about going down to a spa in Mexico where they use this frequently and

just trying it out.

Sharon,

They charge you less if you buy a 'package' of

10-20 treatment, etc. I just wanted to try one

for starters, so price changes for frequency of

use, but about 145 for my one treatment. It was

an hour long. They took me down to 20 feet since

I was beginner. Goal is to get down to 45 feet

for me. It depends on what doctor says. Since I

had trouble with my one ear getting down to 20

feet, I have to work on ear before going back.

It is much more pressure change than you

experience flying since in flight, cabin is

pressurized for your comfort. Goal in HBOT is to

pressurize you so o2 goes in deeper. I'll let

you know. I plan to take a series. I doubt you

can tell anything significant from one.

I don't know anyone else that is doing them. I

didn't think of it for detoxing, but have been

wanting to try them for my frequent migraine

headaches. Now I have liver trouble apparently

so thought I would go ahead. They use it in

hospital for deep tissue repair so I figured it

might help my liver. My doctor have me a Rx for

catscan of liver but havent't done that yet since

wonder if radiating my liver would do more

damage. I know they say it is lightweight but I

have lost confidence in information from medical

community. I WILL be using Rx for catscan though

perhaps having a series of HBOT since I had

cancer in area and so I do need to have picture

of area taken soon. It's been two years since

surgery removed small amount of cancer so about

time to look at area again. Incidentally Dr

Croft review surgery tissue from my surgery in

2004 and said cancer found is consistent with

type of cancer caused by mycotox damage and

another Dr said the fact that oesophils were

found at cancer site indicate it molds/funguses

'might' have been cause, so two opinions on that.

Are you a short distance from Mexico. Cost

should be much better.

My first neurotoxicologist uses it on mold patients and says it helps with

detox. I used it once and it felt great, but like so many therapies, massage,

etc. it seems short lived regarding healing. Other doctors agree that it feels

great short term but no long lasting effects.It was 150 dollars for one hour and

most insurance plans don't cover it.

You need to do a series of treatments for HBOT to be effective. One

treatment will be short lived.

Sharon,

Which place in Mexico? Is this the one that specializes in detox? Friends

have told me about two different spas in Mexico that I am also looking into.

Barb,

I've heard several times over the years that the HB chamber works

for people with the severe headpain. Many have found relief by this

type of treatment. I am definately considering this when I have the

funds.

Hi KC,

I wanted to do it for liver trouble. It wasn't

anyone's recommendation. Just my own idea.

However I was having a week of frequent migraines

and had heard oxygen treatment helps so went in.

Guy who put me in chamber said the treatment

works well for headache. I guess that is same as

head pain in many ways. I don't know how

permanent help is. However I had had migraine on

and off for about 5 days. I think a reaction to

all the allergen testing I had done. It went

away within a couple of minutes of oxygen

treatment and didn't come back. That was last

Wednesday. My vision improvement I had didn't

last long at all, but..just one treatment

so..don't know what you can determine from that.

Dr Rae said I had extensive vasculitis or blood

vessel inflamation. Blood vessel inflamation can

cause loss of blood through the viens, just like

plaque so maybe vision is due to loss of blood

flow to eyes? Definately migraines are due to

low oxygen conditions. Coffee helps since it

speeds up your circulation, which brings extra

oxygen to tissues. Migraine medicine like

Immitrex are vasodialators so bring extra blood

and oxygen that way. So it all makes sense.

What will make permanent improvement, don't know

but oxygen sure helps short term with a number of

things. In the meantime a little lightweight

exercise, that 20 minute walk, etc. Eating lots

of greens increase magnesium and chlorophyl which

increases oxygen in blood also. I have fewer

headaches when I am green juicing. Sometimes I

have to take break from it as it takes some prep

time.

Have not researched heavily. What have you found?

Barb,

The HBOT treatment from what I understand and read over the years,

it definately couldn't hurt. Yes, there is a possibility that it

could be temporary, but the healing affect that it has on the body

and organs far outweighs any negatives and most definately the cost.

I have heard some excellant stories of the use of the HBOT, but

that's for another time.

I have heard that it is excellant treatment for the liver, along

with many other toxins that have caused damage to organs, cells,

etc. This is what I woke up to father's day, Sharon & I were sitting

on the back porch in the morning and the whites of her eyes were

yelllow. Obviously something was taking place that wasn't good, so

that would be definately for one reason I would have this done.

I believe any treatment that forces oxygen into every cell and organ

could do nothing more than benefit and hopefully, I know I'm

dreaming, heal any damaged organs. But it's still worth a try.

Especially since we all know that most of us are blood is low in

oxygen and bloodflow is slow to the brain.

Migraines??? Sharon never had them and I don't believe what she is

experiencing now are any form of migrane because she does not

experience the basic symptoms of. We've tried all those medications,

nothing touched it. I can remember in the early stages of this that

the pain was so severe and at times it still happens (not as often)

all I could do was rub her back. Her temples would swell and

discolor and the lymph nodes in the back of her neck would be as big

as half dollars. But she is never without some form of headpain,

that we know is caused by this toxin overload. They are not vascular

and for a while the only thing that would work was some form of

sugar, for about an hour. She has had some kind of head pain for the

past 7 years, none stop. The only other time she had relief was

after 2 spinal taps, so yes I know we may be dealing with a couple

of things here.

Spinal taps normally cause the opposite and the doctors were also

amazed. This is when they first diagnosed her with pseudotumor and

wanted to perform surgery, but yet never read the spinal taps. Thank

you Emory. When I confronted the doctors about this she couldn't

leave the room fast enough.

Just before that she was diagnosed with trigeminal neurolgia,

because of the headpain, facial pain and facial numbness, which we

now know these toxins do effect. They wanted to cut the main nerve

immediately to releave the pain, but that would also leave one side

of her face without feeling. No other doctors would agree to this

treatment.

This would be the main reason for the HBOT. Hopefully we would have

an excellant results, not only for the head pain, respitorary, the

burning sensations thoughout her arms and legs, the fibro, the liver

and kidneys and other congnitive issues. But it's definately worth a

shot, when the time comes and hopefully it will. Dropping another 5

grand I would not blink and eye at, if I had it.
