Re: Rene/was: Re: HBOT purchase?? Old post from Andy on HBOT

Rene,

You have to join this group to look at messages, anyway you could ask permission

to post here? I did look at onibasu and although I do remember a post from Andy

outlining contraindications for HBOT I could only find posts such as Jan was

speaking of where he did not recommend HBOT.

Jan, if you are interested in another, somewhat different post from

Andy about HBOT, you can look at post #2782 at the group

HBOTherapyforAutism. It does have his thoughts on contraindications

for HBOT, as well as thoughts on its usefulness. I think that, like

all of us, he is learning and opinions can evolve as new information

and parent reports become available.

I know you mean well, and this list serves a good purpose by generally

being cautious about new treatments when others are far more " faddish "

about them, but sometimes blanket warnings will discourage other

parents from even investigating a potentially helpful option - and that

can be harmful too. For some kids, HBOT could be the treatment that

helps the most, who knows?

People need to know if there is *ever* a place for a particular

treatment (risk/benefit ratio, which subgroup is most likely to

benefit, when to try it, etc), and if so, how to ensure that the

treatment is administered in a way most likely to be helpful and safe.

take care

Rene
