Robert’s journey is about preserving and improving life. One should never have to take an innocent life to preserve or improve the life of another. We will never use embryonic stem cells and refuse to have Robert used as an ‘endorsement’ for them. Robert has only been treated with ‘adult’ stem cells, most of which […]

In a ‘friend of a friend’ type situation we were made aware of the work of Dr. Lewis K. Clark and his supplement Neupanex. Neupanex is referred to as the first intracranial helmet for the brain and supports protection and healing of the brain after severe insult. Dr. Clark practices in Webster, TX, a suburb […]
Anat Baniel Method Our therapy journey began in New Orleans after Robert’s discharge from the hospital and our arrival at Harch Hyperbarics. Conventional speech/physical/occupational therapy were unavailable to us as ‘new patients’ with the average waiting time for a first appointment being five months. We were introduced to Andy Chrestman and the Anat Baniel Method […]
We have used and continue to use essential oils in ministering to Robert. Before we discuss the specific oils used and why, it is important that the reader understand that essential oils run the gamut in quality and efficacy. Essential oils are not regulated and so must be purchased from a reputable supplier. Poor quality […]
This is really more of a general rant. We live in a society that is fat averse. Low fat diets are encouraged, even for children. When we do eat fat, we eat ‘cheap’ hydrogenated fat that is toxic to the human body. Soy, corn and canola oils are no better. We use hand sanitizer that […]
Following is the body of a letter sent to Dr. Harch describing our experience with ‘short cycle’ HBOT and its effect on stem cell therapy. There are open questions about the therapeutic benefit from higher numbers of stem cells but the raw numbers are interesting. I have edited the original letter for clarity and brevity. […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is defined as the application of increased pressure and increased oxygen. Normobaric Oxygen Therapy is the application of increased oxygen at atmospheric pressure. Normobaric Oxygen Therapy has the advantage of not requiring a chamber and can be done anywhere breathing oxygen is available. There is now research that indicates that it […]
I was asked what a “dive” is. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is largely an outgrowth of diving medicine. As such, it is filled with diving terms. A single dose – the application and removal of increased pressure and/or increased oxygen – is called a dive – just as the body is subjected to an increase […]
We recently had a family contact us about Drop Foot. Drop Foot is common with brain injury. So are bent wrists. Robert had a wrist and an ankle relax during the first 40 dives at Dr. Harch’s. The other side relaxed during the second round of dives at home. Robert’s relaxed posture is still to […]
Below is a podcast I did with Rick Kauffman of The Drowning Warriors.
