I'm a natural blonde now. HBOT is Hyperba...Ha ha! I'm a natural blonde now. <BR/><BR/>HBOT is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and there's a link on the side of Amelia's blog to the site of the place we go to. It has a big history and is used for all types of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), diabetic wounds, autism,etc. The idea is that you're put into a chamber that is pressurized and you're breathing 100% oxygen. The pressure pushes the red blood cells thru your system; into all the nooks and crannies of your brain,to promote healing of injuries. The idea being that people with TBI's don't have as effective circulation.<BR/><BR/>It was developed by the Navy over 55 years ago to help divers with the bends. Of course they are using it for all kinds of purposes now although it is still considered a fringy therapy for kids with CP. There are clinical trials being done, but you know how the FDA is with acknowledging anything as safe and effective. <BR/><BR/>Also, the HBOT is expensive and insurance co.'s don't want to pay for it (where we go it's $225.00 a dive and we do 2 dives a day, you are supposed to do 40 dives in a row, take 3-4 weeks off and go back for 40 more and so on). <BR/><BR/>I can't tell you for sure what we see in Amelia, but her focus and communication are stronger since we started the dives. We've done almost 80 and will start back on Monday to do 20 more while on LI for therapy.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747481175356171210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013696382983520198.post-40498861599699580822008-10-17T12:21:00.000-07:002008-10-17T12:21:00.000-07:00Adorable pic.
