Kevin, I'm told that in Europe the chamber is used for MS and many other ailments. I'm assuming that in U.S., if FDA doesn't approve it for that use, Medicare won't pay etc, etc........
Alton, I take a DVD with me each day and it's about the right length to get through the treatment. Also my tech enjoys watching the movies as he's monitoring the chamber, so we talk about movies as we watch. So far, I've not been bored, hope saying that doesn't jinx the rest of my treatments!! They took new measurements and pix on the 7th day of treatent and they can see progress! So, maybe it's worth missing out on the outside world for 6 weeks!! ;-) janh ________________________________ From: kevin weilacher <hwyfli...@yahoo.com> To: Alton Ryder <a-ry...@comcast.net>; tmic-l...@eskimo.net Sent: Sat, January 15, 2011 10:46:29 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] hyperbaric chamber treatment of wounds The rock legend Ronnie Lane used to use a hyperbaric chamber for treatment of his MS and had success with it....but yet the MS Society still says that there is no benefit to it's use.... reference this great interview that Ronnie did many years ago....http://www.the-faces.com/lane/ints/1lane2.htm By the way, Ronnie passed away in 1997 due to pneumonia. ________________________________ From: Alton Ryder <a-ry...@comcast.net> To: tmic-l...@eskimo.net Sent: Sat, January 15, 2011 11:06:30 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] hyperbaric chamber treatment of wounds I took this treatment a couple of years ago for a wound that I had had for two decades. The results were astounding; it shrunk from four little toes wide and one high to one wide and a half high. However, instead of continuing until it was healed, the wound specialist followed the protocol and stopped after six weeks (the reason might have been rooted in Medicare's one-size-fits-all coverage. Yesterday we discussed restarting the hyperbaric chamber treatment. The only problem is boredom. You cannot bring flammable paper into a chamber, but you can watch a video through the transparent wall. Alton On Nov 21, 2010, at 11:19 AM, Jan Hargrove wrote: hyperbaric chamber
