I am using the intensive PT/OT for her and am amazed at how fast this works in lieu of traditional PT/OT. There definitely is synergy with the two combined!!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702126852552104533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006291260278660149.post-43394167094911173802008-09-02T14:42:00.000-04:002008-09-02T14:42:00.000-04:00I send you heartfelt prayers for Megan and your fa...I send you heartfelt prayers for Megan and your family. I am an HBO Technician in Florida and have seen improvements in many of my patients in "off label" treatments. Stick with it. It takes time for the body to heal, and you are giving Megan the atmosphere that heals. Be certain to throw in Physical Therapy with a PT who specializes in neurological disabilities. As the brain comes back, it must be retrained, it also may have assigned functions to other parts of the brain (known as plasticity), which also needs retraining. We have a center that combines the two and specialized in neurological disorders.<BR/><BR/>FYI- ammo to answer the naysayers and skeptics- HBO Therapy is FDA approved for 14 conditions in the US but when you look at other advanced countries with socialized medicine like the UK for example, it is approved for many more conditions. The scientific evidence of efficacy is there, but there is no patent on Oxygen to fund a double blind placebo trial for every condition it is effective for. The conditions it has been approved for are cost effective for the insurance companies, like wound healing to avoid surgical amputation which costs over $100,000. <BR/><BR/>Most doctors aren't taught in medical school what it can do for other conditions because it has not gone through the trials. They are scientists first! However, there is plenty of proven documented evidence that it is working for many other indications, especially neurological diseases like mitochondrial disorder, parkinsons, Lyme and MS to name a few. There are many physicians out there that are learning about it and open to it for the benefit of their patients, so we'll get there. In the meantime keep the faith, if there's a will there's a way, and I think you have found it. Just keep it up and you'll see the results. She has had problems for two years, so it may be months of treatments, but hopefully you'll see gradual improvements in Megan. It seems like she is a fighter and she is fighting to come back to you. <BR/><BR/>There is no smaller prison than that of the human body when it cannot function. <BR/><BR/>Wishing you and Megan, her father and her two brothers peace. <BR/><BR/>Dyanadyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958696602066511317noreply@blogger.com
