Bone Marrow Stem Cells Have Been Shown to Help...Hyperbaric Oxygen Works to Heal Autism

In the Summer, 2006 issue of The Pressure Point, a newsletter put out by the International Hyperbarics Association, Inc., is featured powerful testimonials of doctors and parents who give glowing reports of successful outcomes for their autistic children who have undergone hyperbaric oxygen treatments. In the beginning one doctor thought there was surely no hope for autistic children. But then after using hyperbaric oxygen, especially in conjunction with Vitamin B12 [methyl B12 to be exact], the hopelessness disappeared. Now, children on all levels of what doctors call the "autistic spectrum";* are benefiting. (*Because some children are very highly functioning, and others need constant shadowing). As one doctor put it, "the impregnable walls of conventional thinking are beginning to crumble.";

At our office we've been using hyperbaric oxygen for autism and other brain disorders for over 20 years. We, too, have parents who give glowing reports of their children, after being put on some dietary changes by Dr. Steenblock, and utilizing what the families lovingly call HBOT [hyperbaric oxygen therapy]. The children love the "spaceship"; ride in our hard chambers, allowing them to watch their favorite cartoons as they "dive";. Parents enjoy trading stories and being encouraged by each other.
