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.
We are often asked which therapy or treatment made the biggest difference for Robert. I will answer this below but it is important to know that we agreed, early on, that we were going to throw “everything and the kitchen sink” at healing his brain injury and, hopefully, argue later about what made the biggest […]
There is no hope without Jesus Christ. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. – 1 Cor 1:18 God made Robert’s body and God has the power to restore it. Whether he uses Dr. Harch and HBOT, MNRI […]
