Mother with MS

Child near drown

2000- 2001

When I started the Hyperbaric Chamber at Rapid Recovery I had been diagnosed

with Relapsing – Remitting Multiple Sclerosis for 23 years. I was taking

Solu Medrol approximately every 3 to 4 months to keep my symptoms from

acting up and just to have enough energy to get through the day.

After 60 treatments in several months at the Rapid Recovery Center I have

not taken another drug for almost a year. I didn’t realize how far down I

had come until I felt better. I am sensate in parts of my body for the

first time in years. M balance is considerably improved and my fine motor

skills are considerably better. Overall I feel wonderful and you could not

tear me away from Rapid Recovery, Dr Underwood’s and ’s expertise.

While I was being treated we also put my 17 year old son in the chamber who

was a near drowned when he was 2 ½ years old. He has been in special

education his entire life and we wanted to see if this would help. He

received the same amount of treatments as myself. His speech has improved

noticeably as per his IEP at school at a much faster rate than in the past.

Speech is on of his main problems as well as cognitive functions. Overall he

has gone through a maturation that we hope will continue, and is now able to

read 2 grades higher from last year meeting at school. But more noticeably

we see improvement at home on “ Common Sense” issues that cannot be taken

for granted with Special ed. Kids. Telly’s progress has been steady over

these past 15 years. But it seems that the Hyperbaric Treatments have

touched places that have not progressed, and accelerated the others.

It is a wonderful non- invasive treatment for these special children and I

would recommend Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics Highly.

Sincerely,

Mother of Telly

Connor

3 years old Autism, Hypoplasia, Visually and Hearing delayed

Dear :

Thank God for the work that you and do for our kids! For those of

you that do not know our story here goes.

Our son Connor was born October 16, 1998. At birth he had respiratory

distress and was in NICU for a week.

The following are some of his diagnoses:

1. Visually and hearing impairment.

2. Developmental delay.

3. Sleep disorder. (Often sleeping only four out of twenty-four hours.)

4. Autism.

5. Hypoplasia (underdevelopment) of the white matter of his brain.

6. Multiple orthopedic malformations.

7. Chronic constipation requiring 1 or 2 enemas per week.

8. Tactile defensiveness. (doesn't like to be held or touched).

We found and began Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments on 4-24-01 against the

suggestions of many of Connor's doctors. He has seen almost 38 doctors and

most of them felt that Hyperbarics was a waste of time and money. This is

due to their inexperience with the field. They could not have been MORE

WRONG!

**After his very first treatment he ate 16 ounces of food. (his usual

amount up to that time was 4 ounces per meal). He also slept 10 hours!

This was the first time he had slept through the night in his life without

drugs. It is now common for him to sleep through the night.

**He now has regular bowel movements and has not required a single enema

since

the completion of his treatments.

**He held his own bottle after only the third treatment and continues to

hold

it now. He is learning to self feed and holds his own spoon.

**He is much happier and actually enjoys being held. He interacts with

everyone in the family including his 6 year-old sister.

**He now says " Momma " , " Dada " and of course every two year-old's favorite,

" No! " .

**He can now walk with a walker and has even taken a few steps on his own.

His

physical therapist is thrilled at his progress.

**His vision and hearing have both improved dramatically.

**He has grown four inches in height in the last six month.

We realize that we still have much work ahead of us and plan on resuming our

Hyperbaric treatments next month. But the improvements in Connor (and to

our family) have been nothing short of a miracle) Thank you so much

and for making us a part of your Hyperbaric " Family " . Sincerely,

Peggy and Gregg Barrett

Fibromylgia and Osteoporosis

The evening of December 19, 200 changed my life forever!! I had an

appointment with Dr Underwood In, which my husband and I sat down with all

my medical records. Dr Underwood and took the time to read all the

results of the tests (and I mean TESTS, TESTS, and more TESTS).

I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis (Brittle bone disease) with bone loss in

my 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th disks in my neck. In other words, I had a pinched

nerve in my 5th and 6th disk with swelling and inflammation, which caused me

to lean to the right and forward with extreme pain running down my right

arm. I was also extremely tired all the time, CFS.

I was devastated How could I an active woman of only “55” be in this kind of

pain and condition? I was active in our business, I garden, I shop and I am

active in baby-sitting my “3” grandchildren. I also took all kinds of

vitamins and at least 2,000mg of calcium per day. I thought I was protected

against the evil disease “Osteoporosis”

My life I thought was destroyed, or at least I thought. It had been a long

road to this point in my life. I had been to doctors for several years

before this night. In 1999, I had been diagnosed with “Tendonitis” or Tennis

Elbow. I had Diarrhea, mood swings and pain all over my body. Every doctor I

had been to simply want to give me Pain medicine and move on to the next

patient. Dr Underwood spent over an hour reading my records.

Dr Underwood spent hours with my husband and I explaining what he thought to

be the health problem. He also ordered blood test

I was given trigger point shots for the immediate pain in my neck area, a

Neck collar, IV mega vitamins to replace Calcium/ Magnesium, Hyperbaric

Oxygen therapy, Flosmax, and, Hormone replacements, and Thyroid Medicine.

The Next morning I felt better than I had in weeks.

Dr Underwood told me I was in menopause, with no estrogen, and low thyroid

with the beginning of Osteoporosis. He gave me a plan to begin my road back

to health! Dr Underwood explained neck exercises, and started me on small

weights to improve the circulation in my arms, plus walking for at least 15

minutes daily.

To date I have had four IV mega vitamins, Trigger point shots and 28

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapies, I am out of pain and I can now drive a car and

feel better than I have in Years!!

Thank you, Dr Underwood and for giving me back my life, and I am

grateful to God for all that he has given me. Sincerely, Mrs. S. Blair CA.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Parenchymal Liver Disease.

Bhattacharya M, Kumar PG, Sahni TK Dept of Medicine and Underwater Medicine,

Naval Hospital, Asvini, Colaba, Bombay.

Use and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) in liver disease has not

been established. A prospective control study of HOT in liver diseases was

undertaken. Sixty cases were selected for this study (30 with HOT and 30

with conventional therapy only). Almost equal number of Hepatitis B virus

surface antigen (HbsAg) positive cases were included in both groups. All

patients were male. Only cases with serum bilirubin over 10 mg/dl were

included in this study. It was found that study cases recovered faster,

gained appetite and had an earlier sense of well-being. There was faster

disappearance of pruritus, earlier achievement of normal liver function,

HbsAg negativity and overall shorter duration of hospital stay and

convalescence. Short term adverse effects were unremarkable.

Hi Kathy,

Autism

The Son-Rise Program In the early 1970’s the Kaufmans rebirthed their son, Raun, from the supposedly incurable illness of autism. At eighteen months, Raun was mute, totally withdrawn from all human contact and self-stimulating. His I.Q. tested at below 30. The prognosis: irreversible--leading to eventual institutionalization. Defying the experts and developing a program radically different than existing techniques for the treatment of children with Autism, the Kaufmans designed and implemented unique child-centered, home-based program for their son. Using a most loving and stimulating approach, they worked with their son twelve hours per day, seven days per week for over three years. When they finished, Raun was not only completely cured of autism, but had evolved into a highly verbal, extroverted, loving and brilliant young boy who demonstrated a near genius I.Q. and bore no traces of his original condition. Now a young adult, Raun graduated from high school with high honors (Cum Laude Society) and more recently graduated from a prestigious Ivy League university with a degree in biomedical ethics. The story of their family’s incredible journey was documented in the award-winning book and NBC-TV network movie, Son-Rise. Following their successful work with their own son, they helped other families learn and use The Son-Rise Program® with their special children. Son Rise book .

So sad that the boy was put on Litium, a known toxic metallic salt that builds

up in the body. The toxic dose is so close to the " therapeutic " dose.

Sometimes, in the summer, people on Litium drop dead when they sweat too much

and the body tries to metabolize the litium salts it's been storing in the fat

tissue in order to replace the electrolytes lost by sweating. That, and the

disregulation of the body's temperature controls from other psychiatric drugs

lead to inmates in psychiatric hospitals and the elderly (another population

heavily psychiatrically drugged) dropping like flies when a heat wave comes

along.

Psychiatry doesn't deal with real diseases--it's chemical behavior or mood

control. Unfortunately, these chemicals can exact a very heavy price--movement

disorders, heart problems, psychosis, diabetes, death. By current statistics

ADULTS entering the public mental health system live 25 YEARS LESS than the rest

of the population. We haven't had enough kids in there yet to find out what it

does to their lifespan. I bet we'll have the bloody numbers within 15-20 years,

due to the outrageous number of kids labeled and put on these drugs since the

1990s.

Overdosed kids

Re: " Are Kids Being Overdosed? " by Anne Stanton, May 17:

To answer these questions one must consider that all physicians go to medical

school where they study (1) all things physically normal, (2) all things

physically abnormal - diseases - and (3) how to examine, image and chemically

test the patient to tell the difference.

All physicians (and this includes psychiatrists) know that in the specialty of

psychiatry there are no actual physical abnormalities - diseases. Rather,

abnormalities/diseases of the brain and nervous system are the province of the

specialty of neurology -- things like strokes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis,

brain tumors, etc,

Abnormalities of the brain can be found on physical/neurological examination,

brain scans and chemical tests. Such is not the case in psychiatry, where we

deal with troubled emotions and troublesome behaviors-all subjective-but never

with demonstrable, objective physical or chemical abnormalities.

And no such thing as a " chemical imbalance " of the brain has ever been proven to

exist in psychiatry. There is no justification to give " chemical

balancers " -pills for psychiatry's " chemical imbalances " of the brain. They do

not exist. Could it be this is all done for profit?

It is for this reason that the first and only real abnormality/disease in any

psychiatric patient is the intoxication/poisoning with the first psychiatric

drug they are given to ingest or are injected with. This is why their second,

fifth, seventh and tenth real diseases are their intoxications/poisonings with

their second, fifth, seventh and tenth psychiatric drugs; not a single one of

them targeting a predetermined physical abnormality/disease.

This is why no psychiatric drug " treatment " has a scientific basis. Throughout

the rest of medicine every " medicine " targets an abnormality in a scientifically

designed manner: chemotherapy drugs preferentially targeting faster growing

cancer cells; X-ray therapy targeting the faster growing cancer cells. Insulin,

in diabetes, the shortage of insulin and elevated blood sugar level,

antibiotics, the chemical life-cycles of infecting bacteria, etc.

But not in psychiatry! What we start with in psychiatry is a physically normal

individual, albeit one who is emotionally troubled, and perhaps, troublesome.

What we do with psychiatric drugs is erase or obliterate their being troubled

and troublesome and we invariably do so by giving them chemicals, all of which

act by damaging the brain in diffuse, inexact ways. Like a machete, one science

writer put it.

No less than your children and grandchildren, or mine, what these children need

is love, a home, parents, being protected, cared about, and cared for.

Being a foster child is not a medical condition. And yet psychiatry has laid

claim to between 60 and 90 percent of foster children nationwide, drugging them

all, putting their final stamp on them-the conspicuous physical sequelae of

their drugging/poisoning--things like the grotesque, uncontrollable movements of

tardive dyskinesias, or of what looks for all the world like a typical case of

advanced-age, Parkinson's disease, but for the fact it is seen in a five-year

old-the handiwork of psychiatry.

By rejecting the fact that these children need love, structure, discipline and

an education, but instead, imposing a system that makes them profit-points and

intoxicates and poisons them we will surely rue the day when, at 18 or 21, they

age-out and spill out into society totally unloved, unprepared, full of the

realization that this is what was done to them-this and only this. Their cost in

terms of life-long disability will be but a fraction of the cost we will pay for

having " pimped " them to the for-profit, psychiatry-big pharma cartel.

In 2003, pediatrician Carey, of the Philadelphia Children's Hospital

testified to Congress that 17% of US school-age children (8.5 million) were on

one or more psychiatric drugs. Nor is this epidemic finite, like those of real,

objectively verifiable diseases.

Spending on all psychiatric drugs climbed from $7.9 billion in 1997 to $20

billion in 2004, an increase of more than 150 percent (The Washington Times,

April 1, 2007). Nor does it stop. Nor does the victimization of normal,

defenseless children stop. Nor is there anything in the least scientific,

healing or ethical about it.

Ask Sharfstein, president of the American Psychiatric Association for

proof that even one psychiatric diagnosis is a real disease. On June 27, 2005,

on the Today Show with Matt Lauer, he had no answer for ethical psychiatrist,

Dr. ph Glenmullen, who had told the truth of the matter: that there were no

such things as " chemical imbalances " of the brain-the sales pitch of every

unethical medical practitioner who make this their justification for making

" patients " (usually lifetime " patients " ) of normal children and drugging them.

In this article I will discuss what autism is and what some of the

common misconceptions are concerning autism. Autism is a neurological

disability that affects an individual's ability to communicate and

socialize with others. They might also be experiencing issues with

motor skills and processing information as well. Autism affects each

child and adult differently. There is no such thing as typical Autism

behaviors.

The exact cause of Autism is not known. It is believed to be the

result of abnormalities in the brain structure. Brain scans of

individuals who have been diagnosed with Autism show such

differences. It is also believed that heredity and genetics play a

role in the development of Autism.

Autism often occurs in those who have other medical issues including

Fragile X Syndrome, Sclerosis, Rubella, and toxic diseases that are

related to issues during the pregnancy. There is a debate that

standard vaccinations can result in Autism as well.

Regardless of the reasons behind Autism, there are some myths out

there that result from uneducated individuals. This includes the idea

that Autism is the result of poor parenting during the early years of

a child's development. There is also the myth that Autism is a mental

illness. There is no evidence to support that idea....

Isn't it great when people feel the need to educate US on autism?!?!
