>> There are no research papers on how long after an injury a patient can

>>
>> However, I arranged for actress/comedienne Geri Jewell to have HBOT at the
>> Santa Monica Clinic and she is in her 30's. (she acted in the show "facts
>> of Life" as the handicapped cousin).
>>
>> She was emphatic on how great it was and how great it made her feel; how
>it
>> got rid of her spasticity and the uncontrolled movement in her arms; and
>> that it alleviated a lot of pain in her neck.
>>
>> Unfortunately, she only had a single treatment and the benefits went away
>> after a few days.
>>
>> Also, Dr. Paul Harch treated a 44 year old mentally retarded (from TBI)
>> with good results.
>> You can find that information in the "Congressional Testimony -
>Presentation"
>> at http://www.hyperbaricoxygen.info/medicalnews_index.html
>> This patient had significant long lasting improvements.
>>
>> Personally, I believe that HBOT is valid for any brain injury, and it can
>> be applied long long after the injury with beneficial results.
>>
>> Finally, (if you are in Boston) there is a great clinic in Western Mass
>run
>> by Dr. Jamie Deckoff-Jones.  You can find her site by going to
>> http://www.littlestangel.com/resource.asp
>> then clicking on "Brain Injury Centers" then clicking on New England HBOT
>> center. She also provides neuro-feedback as well, so you could get both
>> treatments there....
>>
>> And, you can read my CP daughter's book by clicking on Rebecca's Book, but
>> you have to say a prayer for her and all her friends (disabled children)
>>
>> Thanks.
>>
>> And if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
