Steven was born a normal, healthy baby who met all of his developmental milestones. Three months after his MMR he became slightly irritable, rocked his head back and forth, and spun in circles. Six months after his MMR, Steven lost his ability to speak and communicate, he screamed most of the time, would spin objects, limited his diet, became very sensory seeking, put everything in his mouth, couldn’t tolerate anyone who would come into our home, and he drifted into his own world, a world of complete silence. I lost my son.

Although we had Steven evaluated, and had him receiving therapy since the age of 2-1/2, he was not formally diagnosed with autism until the age of 6. It was at that time we began biomedical treatment for Steven. This included the GF/CF diet, treating his gut inflammation and yeast, giving vitamin and mineral supplementation, along with natural chelation. We also utilize an ionic foot bath and infra red sauna to aid in his chelation.

In April of 2008 we did 36 HBOT treatments. The results were amazing. His therapists noted a dramatic increase in eye contact, social skills, cognitive ability, vocabulary and speech, and fine motor skills.

We are currently receiving an additional 41 HBOT treatments and look forward to the gains that Steven will achieve. We truly believe that HBOT gave Steven the most benefit of any treatment we pursued in our son’s recovery.

We are very grateful to the Lord for all of His provision for our family and to Charlotte Metro Hyperbarics and their awesome staff.
