Hi Ellis,

I recently joined the list. My wife has neuropathy. She's home
now, after a 6 month stay in the hospital. Most of the time she
was in a ventilator which was keeping her alive in the Intensive
Care Unit. But she still has arm and hand tremors, slurred speech
and blurred vision. She has no balance. In addition, her knees and
legs have restricted motion.

Unless she recovers dramatically by the end of the year, she'll
lose her job with a large computer company that makes popular
music devices.

While her insurance company paid a huge amount to the hospital and
doctors, they won't pay anything toward HBOT. This has been a big
drain on our meager resources.

We live in an apartment in Austin, Texas, so we can drive to Mexico
in my van. I'm interested in finding a hospital or clinic in Mexico
with an HBO chamber where she can receive lots of treatments at a
significant discount to the treatment costs here in the US and where
we can live inexpensively while doing it. We just can't afford US
prices. She and I met in Mexico ten years ago while we were
backpacking around, so we're comfortable living economically and
among the people. We both speak the language, somewhat, and
like being there.

I love her very much, and I want to fight to keep her improving;
she's 34 and too young to be in this condition for the rest of her
life. I'll go wherever is necessary with what resources we have left
to help her.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jack (Diego, when in Mexico)



[Hello Jack (Diego...)

I AGREE 100% with you that hyperbaric oxygen is indicated for
your wife... I don't know why so many doctors don't seem to know
this, but it has the potential to be excellent for her.
I'm not sure exactly how much it can help her, but I definitely
think it is worth trying precisely because her problem
is neurologic. HBO therapy is amazing for neurological
problems, and "neuropathy" is one of them.

See the videos at Ocean HBOT if you have any DOUBT that HBOT
is FANTASTIC for the NERVOUS SYSTEMd... Maybe you should ask
your insurance company to take a look at these videos. Since
your wife is insured, it will cost the insurance company much
LESS for her to recover with HBO than to be sick without it...
and I think she would definitely benefit a lot!

If you can come to Mexico City, I can get you HBOT for much
less than it costs anywhere else in Mexico, which means,
about $30 per session... or... my friend Frank Lively in the
U.S. is probably closer to you than I am in Mexico City, and I'm
sure he would be happy to help you, if he reads this...

Unfortunately, the only doctors that would agree with you
and me are the doctors who know how to SPELL hyperbaric oxygen
therapy, which is not many... One of those who does believe
in HBO therapy is one of my doctors in Mexico City, Dr.
Gerardo Diaz Bautista, who has FIVE HBO chambers....

So... if you can make it to Mexico City, I will be glad to help
you and your wife. If you come, write to me by e-amil to
etoussier(at)yahoo.com Subject: Rejuvenation Subscriber HBOT

Other therapy that I think might help her is growth hormone, and
EPO. And of course she should keep her blood glucose levels
under strict control, which might require insulin. See my
