In the 2nd paragraph of the UHMS Ethics Report found at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medicaidforhbot/files/UHMS_Has_No_Ethics.PDF
states:

"In the past, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Societyís Hyperbaric
Oxygen Committee has weighed the scientific evidence for each indication,
and made determinations on acceptance based on the preponderance of
evidence.  However, no specific criteria exist within the Society regarding
the type and number of studies necessary to qualify a new indication for
acceptance."

In other words, making HBOT available to every brain-injured child could be
done immediately. It could have been done years ago--even ten years ago. Or
20 years ago. However, the UHMS has cruelly withheld it from the public.

Please read this report.

Right now, Hyperbaric Medicine is not taught at any American medical
school--which is pretty ironic. There's no healing, there's no health,
there's no life without oxygen. HBOT should be the first thing taught on
the first day of medical school; it is the efficient and effective method
of delivering oxygen to the body; it is the most fundamental of
fundamentals.

As a result, HBOT is often viewed as quackery by 99.9% of physicians simply
because they've never heard of it. I have found this to be particularly
true for pediatric neurologists because the efficacy of HBOT calls into
question their very practice of medicine.

Because of uneducated physicians, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is
governed by default, by a "medical society" that purports to be experts.
This society is the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society--the UHMS
(http://www.uhms.org).
