Hi,

I am looking for a parent who is/has been using HBOT with their children.

Our LLPA has recommended it for my son and imagine my daughter is next. I am gathering information on the treatment itself and centers.
(thanks BOEJR)

Would really like to hear from a family that has tried this. Big financial and time committment!
but healthy kids: priceless. But can't do every treatment available at least not now...
I trust the parents here and just curious what you know or have experience with this therapy.

thanks,
Char

Hi again Char,

There are several yahoo groups that are HBOT related that may also give you a broader group of parents to help you in your decision. It is wise in my opinion to seek the experience of those who have lived through it.

You can try:

Hope this helps,

Warmly,

Julia

Hi Char,

Only 50% of lyme patients ever see any help using the HBOT. However.....what it can do for your skin and life is amazing.

These stats were given at the last lyme conference by Dr. Husser who did the only survey on HBOT!

But, I do the hyberbaric chamber religiously. If nothing else, I feel better and I look better.

Well, to get to the point. My son, who was born with lyme, got into the chamber last week with me and sang for the entire hour. I was so annoyed....or so happy. Am not sure. But it had a huge impact on him.

It still makes me wonder....Hmmmmm....????? It cannot hurt and could not be any thing else but good!
