Day 7, A Small Success and an MS HBOT Story

From Naomi

when I came out this time my scar on my ancel was a lot Better!

From Mom:

After Naomi was born she went acidocis (meaning her blood went acidic). To save her life, the people in her ambulance, gave her a shot of sodium bicarbonate in her foot. Unfortunately, the blood vessel ruptured, and the sodium bicarbonate gave her a NASTY caustic burn from the inside out. It took months for it to heal, and supposedly burned her down to the bone. Ever since, she has been left with a large, dark, nasty raised scar on her right ankle. I was surprised at what Naomi wrote today, so I looked at her ankle. Sure enough, the scar was less predominant. It used to have darker skin around it, and it was raised. Now the scar isn't raised, and the skin is now much lighter in color. I wish that we had taken a picture of it earlier, but I didn't think to expect an improvement in that area.

I can attest to the fact that HBOT is good for burns and wounds. Naomi's thumb healed incredibly quickly after going in. On Thursday night, I burned myself cooking, and after I did HBOT the next morning, it was completely healed, where as it hurt going in.

I wish there was a way to measure changes to her brain currently.

We are at our 12th visit.

Today, our operator, Andrew, told us of one patient from this year. A lady with Multiple Sclerosis came into the clinic unable to walk on her own, and not strong enough to hold her own mask on in the tank. Andrew had to carry her into the tank and strap on her mask for her. Within 3 days, she could get in and out of the tank by herself, and after a week of 2x/day sessions, she could walk around the clinic.

That's pretty darn cool.

Here is a picture of Naomi in front of the HOC.
