Re: New Video - Inflammation and Hyperbaric Oxygen

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Besides it already working to help many children, here is a couple pieces

evidence from

the medical literature.

I think you should consider trying it and let us know what you think of it.

It's only

pressurized air.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might improve certain pathophysiological findings in

autism.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder currently affecting as many as 1 out of

166

children in the United States. Numerous studies of autistic individuals have

revealed

evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and gastrointestinal

inflammation,

immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, relative mitochondrial dysfunction,

neurotransmitter abnormalities, impaired detoxification of toxins, dysbiosis,

and impaired

production of porphyrins. Many of these findings have been correlated with core

autistic

symptoms. For example, cerebral hypoperfusion in autistic children has been

correlated

with repetitive, self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors, and impairments

in

communication, sensory perception, and social interaction. Hyperbaric oxygen

therapy

(HBOT) might be able to improve each of these problems in autistic individuals.

Specifically, HBOT has been used with clinical success in several cerebral

hypoperfusion

conditions and can compensate for decreased blood flow by increasing the oxygen

content

of plasma and body tissues. HBOT has been reported to possess strong

anti-inflammatory

properties and has been shown to improve immune function. There is evidence that

oxidative stress can be reduced with HBOT through the upregulation of

antioxidant

enzymes. HBOT can also increase the function and production of mitochondria and

improve neurotransmitter abnormalities. In addition, HBOT upregulates enzymes

that can

help with detoxification problems specifically found in autistic children.

Dysbiosis is

common in autistic children and HBOT can improve this. Impaired production of

porphyrins in autistic children might affect the production of heme, and HBOT

might help

overcome the effects of this problem. Finally, HBOT has been shown to mobilize

stem cells

from the bone marrow to the systemic circulation. Recent studies in humans have

shown

that stem cells can enter the brain and form new neurons, astrocytes, and

microglia. It is

expected that amelioration of these underlying pathophysiological problems

through the

use of HBOT will lead to improvements in autistic symptoms. Several studies on

the use of

HBOT in autistic children are currently underway and early results are

promising.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may improve symptoms in autistic children.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that currently affects as many as 1 out

of 166

children in the United States. Recent research has discovered that some autistic

individuals

have decreased cerebral perfusion, evidence of neuroinflammation, and increased

markers

of oxidative stress. Multiple independent single photon emission computed

tomography

(SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) research studies have revealed

hypoperfusion to several areas of the autistic brain, most notably the temporal

regions

and areas specifically related to language comprehension and auditory

processing. Several

studies show that diminished blood flow to these areas correlates with many of

the clinical

features associated with autism including repetitive, self-stimulatory and

stereotypical

behaviors, and impairments in communication, sensory perception, and social

interaction.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used with clinical success in several

cerebral

hypoperfusion syndromes including cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, closed

head

injury, and stroke. HBOT can compensate for decreased blood flow by increasing

the

oxygen content of plasma and body tissues and can even normalize oxygen levels

in

ischemic tissue. In addition, animal studies have shown that HBOT has potent

anti-

inflammatory effects and reduces oxidative stress. Furthermore, recent evidence

demonstrates that HBOT mobilizes stem cells from human bone marrow, which may

aid

recovery in neurodegenerative diseases. Based upon these findings, it is

hypothesized that

HBOT will improve symptoms in autistic individuals. A retrospective case series

is

presented that supports this hypothesis.

Stan,

I'm convinced enough to want to get my personal funding organised for

the exercise.

What I was thinking of in the future was specific trials in HBOT + " X: "

where X is one more treatment, like ABA; like heavy metal detox; MB12

with the anti pathogen parade to music. :-!

I'm sure it needs thought and design, has that already been done ?

Yes, if a parent has the resources she/he should try it. I will

eventually. In my area (dallas) I can get soft chamber for

$100/dive and hard chambers for $150/dive. I've read that some will

need up to 120 dives or more. That is pretty pricey on my list of

treatment choices.

It is just pressurized air - therein lies the rift - mHBOT vs HBOT.

Hard chamber folks beleive the 100% oxygen is a very important piece

to healing.

Arguments are " Just pressurised air, too. "

Lets agree that HBOT with pure oxygen works best for some of us: the

harder cases, perhaps ? And HBOT with air works just as well for the

rest of us. =-O

There is little scientific evidence to support that higher levels of oxygen have

anything to

do with the benefits of HBOT.

I actually believe you don't even need 1.3 ATA to get the results for many.

That's kind of a clinician's preference. I probably wouldn't if I was actively

chelating...

although in reality it probably would't be bad. I also wouldn't do it during

the first 20-40

days of infectious therapy since the body is already going through so many

changes.

An HBOT + ABA therapy study just finished. We should see the results in the

next few

months but from what I understand so far the data looks great.

Hi ,

Some see results relatively quickly. Some say 40 dives is the number. I think

most folks

see changes somewhere in between if it is a therapy that works for them.

It may be.... but if you really dig into the parent reports and take the time to

read the

medical literature you'll find that the reports on both sidea are relatively

equal.

If it were my child I would try some soft and then some hard and see for myself.

I am not

so sure I would do 100% oxygen right away.

There are cases of oxygen toxicity above 1.5 and at 100% oxygen. Rare cases,

but

documented in the literature.

this is just my view. I personally would have no problem doing 1.5 or 1.75 at

regular

oxygen levels. Not sure about raising the oxygen levels.

Personally I don't believe it's the % of oxygen. It seems more like the

pressure to me.

Time will tell, but I'm on record with my belief.

My son was part of that study and his data was used at Autism One.  You can download Dr. Bradstreet's talk and hear a bit about it.  I think they will have it completed and ready to present at the DAN conference this Fall.  I personally can't wait.We did see some very good gains cognitively and socially during this period - about 4 months and 80 mild HBOT dives.  We have tried some 100% HBOT and are now considering the purchase of a soft chamber.  Our son made his best progress ever during this study.Noratikigal@...On Aug 28, 2007, at 4:38 PM, Stan Kurtz wrote: An HBOT + ABA therapy study just finished.
