Treat seizures with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Sun, 08/26/2007 - 22:31
I haven't seen anything here about treating seizure disorders with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). I'm really quite surprised. I've seen amazing successes for my daughter as well as others with seizure disorders since beginning HBOT treatments several years ago. Has anyone had any experience with HBOT?

HBOT will cause a seizure in a perfectly healthy and otherwise normal person if the pressure exceeds 1.7 ATA. 

They are safe for seizure

They are safe for seizure disorders if you use/stay under 1.5-1.7 ATA

Thank you for sharing this information.  My son has Epilepsy due to an acquired brain injury (Viral Encephalitis).  I will be looking into this...

On a different therapy/treatment... I saw a report on The Today Show last week about a young boy who had Cerebral Palsy.  They had stored his Umbilical Cord Blood when he was born....they did a cord blood transfusion, and five days after the transfusion he was waving for the first time and smiling and is now walking.  The Dr. told them that by the time he's 7 years old, he should show no signs of cerebral palsy at all.  I started doing research on cord blood stem cells (We saved our youngest son's cord blood, but it's our oldest son who has E).  There are many new discoveries/research about cord blood stem cells helping brain injuries, with some research including Epilepsy.  Does anyone have any information on this?  Val
