It has come to my attention that Robert (R) and this website have become topics of discussion on a closed Reddit group. Since it is a closed group, I will respond to the concerns expressed within the group here. This is an area of serious discourse and parents should have all available information when making […]

I recently had a parent ask about storming. In answering her, I realized that I don’t think I’ve ever addressed the topic as a standalone subject. I’ve edited my reply to her here. Storming is the brain sending out ‘noise’ and seems to increase with aggravation and pain. So the first guidance is to be […]
This is probably going to be another rant. While I don’t know the statement to be entirely true, my other possible title was, “Tone never killed anybody.” We have seen multiple children that were weaned be put back on drugs to, ‘help with the tone.’ Like a slow poison, we watch these kids break down […]
Donations may be made directly to the Hyperbaric Institute here – Donate The Drowned Childrens’ Project is an initiative of Will and Beverly Boytim and Dr. Paul Harch to advance the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to acutely drowned children. The foundation of this project was the Boytim’s inability to obtain HBOT for their […]
Let me introduce you to Honzik, a drowned baby living in the Czech Republic. In the video below you can see Honzik storming and beginning to develop the backwards C-Shape that Robert also developed and suffered with for 27+ days. Honzik’s family found Robert’s story and reached out to us. We provided them with the […]
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.
