Testimonial #1
My story began in 1986 when I was diagnosed with throat cancer. After surgery and radiation treatment I thought my problems were over. But, in reality, they were just beginning. The radiation treatment, it seemed, were a good news/bad news type of scenario. While the radiation did an excellent job for me as far as the cancer went, the bad news was that after a few years my teeth fell apart. That would have been a minor problem as I could always have my teeth removed, but, another problem surfaced. Due to the radiation, the bone would probably not grow back as it should, rendering healing and jaw strength somewhat unlikely.
At that time my dental surgeon, contacted HBOT Clinics, with whom he was familiar. I met with the HBOT physicians and it was their consensus that the treatment would be beneficial, and so I gave them a try.
It was decided that in order to get the maximum benefit from the treatments, I should have treatment pre-op, and twenty treatments post-op. The treatments themselves took a bit of getting used to. The pressure on my ears was what I found to be the toughest because each treatment or "dive" takes you to an equivalent of forty feet underwater, or approximately two atmospheres of pressure. I can't say enough good things about the staff, they were always there, checking with me constantly by microphone, to make sure each dive was a pleasant and comfortable as possible. If there was a problem on a "dive", due to pressure on the eardrums, they were always there and ready to stop the dive, or at least slow it down, until the pressure inside the ears had time to stabilise, before continuing.
Did the treatments work? For me, the answer is definitely YES! I healed both quickly AND completely. My deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks go to the HBOT staff. Their compassion for others, as well as their total professionalism made each treatment an enjoyable experience. As I underwent forty treatments at an average of over two hours per treatment, I had ample time to watch them work with others as well. The time spent, and care given to each patient was unwavering. Wonderful people, doing a wonderful, and sometimes difficult, job.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
