AUTISM
HBOT and Autism: The Autism Answer?
Autism is a complex and devastating condition that is effecting
1 in 150 children born today (in comparison to 1 in 10,000 births forty years ago). The addition of HBOT to autism treatment protocols has been proven to yield great success.
Dr. Paul Harch, respected HBOT researcher and author of The Oxygen Revolution who testified before the Committee on Oversight and Government reform (House of Representatives) in Washington, DC, about the effectiveness in using HBOT as a successful treatment modality for autism and autism spectrum disorder.
Dr. Dan Rossignol, is one of the frontrunners in treating autistic children in the U.S. today and is the father of two autistic children, himself. The successful results of his study involving HBOT treatment for autism were presented at the 2007 Conference of the USAAA (United States Autism and Asperger's Association), held in Denver, Colorado August 8-14, 2007. Dr. Rossignol's two part audio broadcast on AutismOne Radio is available online.
