Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I've been back on the web trying to locate the mumsnet website that has all centers all over the US, but I'm not finding it right now. Moria, can you help? That's how we located our nearest center. Most centers cost about $100 -$125 per treatment (40 in one session) but some with a doctor on staff charge $200.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yes, about $4000-$5000 in total, plus, of course, your lodging and meals. Some people do one treatment a day, 5 or 6 days a week, some 2. My son could only tolerate about 6 treatments a week, but many of the other kids did more. Depending on your child's situation, some kids do another session 6 months to 1 yr. later. Another option is doing 20, then 20 more 6 months later, after the first 40 are done. I have heard of people with severe CP doing 3 or 4 sessions.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 We looked for a place with a multiperson chamber, more like a small airplane cabin. My son did alright, with the help of some herbal relaxants, his favorite magazines, and old movies. Each treatment takes about an hour. Actually, it's suprising how quickly the kids seem to get used to it. If I could have done it when my child was younger, I definitely would have. Our thought on timing was after quite a bit of chelation was done, to jumpstart and reoxygenize the liberated brain cells. We have four years in, three and a half when we did the HBOT. We found a place within driving distance, so we could go home on weekends. They had a special deal with the next door hotel, but you moms with little ones could probably use a Mc house. Yes, it was a lot of time, but family members took turns coming and being with us. I would do it again in a heartbeat, because of the gains Craig made!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I looked up a HBOT website and I wondered how you getthe kids to stay inside the " tube " without freaking out. Or do they just freak out and the treatment goes on just like blood sticks, B12 shots, baths and haircuts? How long is a session? If a session is 40 treatments at 5 per week, that's an eight week course. If a child tolerates two sessions per day, then it would be a four week course. And if you need to be out of town for it, then the child can't be in a program for either one or two months. YIKES! OK- one more question (for now). At what point in chelation do you do HBOT? Is it after most of the metals have been removed as a jumpstart to body processes that were dormant for a long time? Or is it done before that point to aid in the detox pathway? Thank you so much for your patience and help.

I think it is one of those things where if it helps, then you do all you can to come up with the money. The cost is frightening! Oh, I also meant to mention this list: neurohbot/ Largely Cerebral Palsy focus and sometimes has pretty nasty politics. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's thinking about it (which I've asked about in some detail, since I'm very interested in BOTH therapies) is that you do HBOT *after* chelation. The reason is that both being mercury toxic and HBOT cause oxidative stress, so if you have both happening at once, the HBOT adds to the same SORT of stress as the mercury is causing, which can be " bad " . good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Yes, I did. Some of the kids eventually go in with just the center person, but my son was older (and bigger) and I think they felt more comfortable having me there. My hubby and kids took turns when they were there. Barb Re: [ ] HBOT locations, cost--Moria? > > >> >> We looked for a place with a multiperson chamber, more like a small > airplane >> cabin.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Did you notice any results of the HBOT for you? How did it feel? The center closest to me, an hour away, requires a parent to go in with the child. I just had thirteen or so amalgams removed, so I'm going to have to wait a while and chelate myself before I go. - Re: [ ] HBOT locations, cost--Moria? > > > > > >> > >> We looked for a place with a multiperson chamber, more like a small > > airplane > >> cabin.

Please note that this is an account of ONE session, and NO ONE (that I know of) considers this a " theraputic " amount of HBOT. Usually people do 40 treatments in a series, and then often they do addition series. NeuroHBOT/message/6176 good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
