This is an extremely bad idea. Not the elements of it, but the timing.

First you want to determine if they have a heavy metal problem. 75%

chance they have mercury, small but not zero chance of other toxins.

if they have mercury, chelate at least one year before trying HBOT.

you may or may not need HBOT.

If they do NOT have a toxic metal, don't put off the HBOT, if you want

to do it, start as soon as you figure this out.

A hair test and a trial of chelation is about the best way to figure

this all out, if they have no amalgam fillings, then 5 weekends is more

than enough to know if they are responding.

Hair test interpretation is described in the files section, and in more

detail in my book Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities.

You really want to reinterpret the existing hair tests using the web

info or the book as your first step here.

If you can get an Rx, you can get DMPS from US compounding pharmacies

(but not regular ones).

Take the grill off the heating vent, look inside, clean it out nicely,

if the bedroom is carpeted you have a difficult problem unless you are

ready to replace the carpet. If not I have posted info on list on how

to clean up mercury spills before. it can probably be found using the

new fancy search feature (not the one, the other one).
