Non-Profit Information
 
Can you post more information about the non profits. Our family could use to try HBOT. Hubby for his concussion and our son has autism. We wanted to try HBOT but cannot afford it for him.

The MD at one place said she has seen it help 80% of vets with brain injuries. So, either it has a great placebo effect or it works, in either case improvement is improvement. I am seriously thinking about forking over the cash and trying it, life with Post Concussion Syndrome just feels so empty.

Here is an HBOT study for people in or near New Orleans and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

It is free to participants. Although the study looks dated, Ms Harch just sent me a flier about it so it appears to be ongoing.

Mark your information is incorrect
 
I have called a few different places. The protocol for tbi is 1.5ata not 2.0ata, they say that 1.5ata is the magic atmosphere. All the places that work with tbi suggest that atmosphere. The concussion study happening on hbot is at 1.5 ata. Soft shell chambers offer 1.3 ata, that is why its considered mild hbot.

HBOT Non Profits
 
www.chambersforhope.org sarasgarden.org hopeforhealinginstitute.org http://rockymountainhbot.com/ . The last one is free for veterans and they have a civilian department but it depends on if they are getting donations or not. Most of them will help with covering the costs, they don't cover it completely.

It just shows how there is a need for more study. A study I found on PubMed used 2 ata for mTBI. I see that Dr Harch has been using 1.5 ata in his recent studies. Another study found no difference between 1.5 ata and 2.0 ata.

Anecdotal reports not withstanding, here is a study that gives me pause.

I sure would like to see good results from Dr Harch's new study. It would be great if Dr Harch would limit his claims to those he can substantiate. Some of his unsubstantiated claims weaken his ability to get support for the more valid claims. The peers who have reviewed some of his claims have been rather harsh on Dr Harch.
