Help Me Reach My 2022 Goal

 Hello friends and family,

As you know I have multiple disabilities and disorders due to the lack of oxygen that I suffered from at birth. You may also know that I have been through multiple types of therapy throughout my life and will continue to need treatments for the rest of it. My newest type is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which is scientifically proven to be effective for people with Cerebral Palsy. 

“Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown, in some studies, to alleviate the effects of CP. Many forms of CP result from a lack of oxygen to the brain. The affected brain tissue can be recovered or improved by introducing increased levels of oxygen. HBOT has been shown to be a promising treatment with multiple studies reporting improvements with its application. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for CP with the following:

• Enhance Neurological Repair & Regeneration with HBOT

• Promotes the Creation of New Brain Cells

• Moderates Mitochondrial Disorders

• Enhances Stem Cell Growth & Mobilization

• Increases Brain Tissue Healing

• Escalates the Creation of New Brain Connections

Improve Overall Function with HBOT

• Advances Cognitive Function

• Improves Gross/Fine Motor Skills

• Enhances Speech & Language

• Improves Memory and Concentration • Alleviates Spasticity

• Lessens Frequency of Seizures

• Stimulates Better Eye Contact

• Improves Balance & Walking” 

I’ve attached the link to this handout below. 

The recommendation of treatments for CP is 40 total 1-hour sessions and these cost $110 each. Equaling out to $4,400. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not currently consider Hyperbarics as therapeutic. I have experimented with these and it is my hope to complete the full treatment by the end of September 2022.
