Dear Susan,

.

My son Ian was treated at Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics during the month of July and August with great results. Ian developed regression type autism after he received his round of shots during his first two years of life. We started treating him with everything from Diet to Biomedical as well as Sensory Integration and Chelating. Every treatment seemed to have made some difference in his behavior but we noticed most of his positive changes after working with Susan and her family. To begin with, Susan

was extremely helpful in giving us all information in regards to treatment options without ever asking for any money. We were so impressed with her willingness to help that we moved our family from Atlanta, GA to San Bernardino for two month in order to get Ian treated. During the treatment, we saw slow and steady improvements’ in Ian’s behavior as well as diet. When we started the treatment, Ian was on several anti bacterial treatments as well as anti-fungal medicine. He had constant loose stool as

well as a chronic running nose. His stool was never formed and he looked and felt ill. After about 3 weeks of treatment, we discontinued both anti-fungal as well as bacterial treatments and Ian’s stool has been normal ever since. All his diaper rashes and dark circles under his eyes have gone away as well.

During week four Ian began using new words, combining sentences and had a greater interest in the world around him. For the first time he started to notice other kids at the playground. He now is able to follow instructions, is learning how to get dressed on his own and sleeps in his own toddler bed without any problems. Ian used to sleep in a crib since it was impossible to get him to go to sleep. He now goes to bed without any problems and sleeps through the night. We have noticed lots of pretend play like he

is picking up the cell phone and pretends to have a conversation with someone on the other end. We still have lot of things that need to be fixed but I believe that HBOT has given Ian the foundation that is required for other treatments to become more effective. We are planning on returning to Rapid Recovery Hyperbarics for more treatment in the near future. One of the most important things that made our stay possible is the fact that Susan treated us like Family and helped us through some very tough moments.
