Question

I'll never forget a science show I saw on TV about 3 yrs ago.

It was about a little boy, about 3-4yrs old, who sustained a
closed head injury from a car accident. His behavior was severely affected, and he was very impaired as a result.
Traditional medical experts had nothing to offer this boy other than rehab.

His parents found a hyperbaric treatment center in Florida (I don't recall the doctor's name, sorry.) and he was given many treatments ..at least a dozen or more. His father had to go into the chamber with him, to keep him quiet and relaxed.

This boy recovered functions, speech, and could be considered normal after these treatments.

It was a very moving program. I have always been fascinated by hyperbaric treatments. They do them for burn victims, why not more often for others?
