Jeff Hampsten's Idaho Hyperbaric Oxygen Tank Saves My Life!

Why Am I Alive? Due to passing out on Neurontin, hitting a window, falling down stairs, and then arriving at an ER where the neurosurgeons and hospital were arguing, I wasn't life flighted until the next day. Therefore, I lost 7 centimeters of the brain, took 7 weeks to wake up & then had to spend 3 months in a rehab to learn to walk & talk again. Due to being required by doctors to utilize 25 medicines, my stomach stopped working then, and I was told then I had 2 months to live. Local doctors talked about removing my stomach, but I quickly learned that would only help me live 2 years longer. Due to Nancy Chase, the wife of my boss, Riley Chase from Idaho Nat'l Laboratory, I was told to go to either Mayo or Cleveland Clinic to stay alive. It took everything I could do but I just couldn't stand my family to be financially drained so I fought as hard as I could to have the first electronic device for Gastroparesis covered by Insurance in Idaho. Next challenged horribly again because was dying in pain, but again I was the first in Idaho to have an electronic device installed to help manage pain due to Interstitial Cystitis. Then migraines hit me, and no pain meds nor shots could help me. Why I was getting shots in the head again, I stated crying as my head was bleeding and begged my husband, Chris, to please go learn about the Oxygen Tank in Pocatello. I had to sit at the doctors office and make sure the shots in the head at least didn't make me worse. When Chris walked back in the doctor's office to take me home, I knew Chris was convinced I wasn't crazy begging him to meet Jeff who owned the Oxygen Tank in Pocatello. As soon as I started, my migraines started disappearing. Jeff had saved my life. As life challenges us though, months after utilizing the Hyperbaric Oxygen Tank (HBOT) migraines came back again. I fought for everything I was worth to get insurance to cover but even with help from Neurosurgeon Marano it couldn't be accomplished. Went back to the pain docs, general doc & Neurologist and ended up again unable to even get out of bed let alone be a mom. I am doing everything I can to help Jeff who has helped so many of us with TBI & PTSD. As soon as I went back to the HBOT and stopped being drugged out, I could at least feel like I was living as a mom & wife. Jeff absolutely can't afford to do this for folks like me for free. Please inform me if you have any suggestions, and I really hope you will call and learn more about what Jeff is trying to do for folks like me with TBI & PTSD. Please help support Jeff, and please let others with TBI & PTSD learn about Jeff. Thanks so much, Tammy Barnes, Picatello, Idaho

Helped my PTSD

My husband came into the center three months ago. He had been treated by therapy for PTSD andeven though it had helped some he wanted more so when he heard of this treatment he said he was going to try anything. He got rid of his anger and rage issues after just a ffew weeks. He also got rid of his fear of every thing. He can now do things on his own and he was able to cut our wood for winter this year, he hasn't been able to do that for two years. I don't think that he is 100% cured but from the time he went in he improved by 85%. He is still seeing his threapist to help him fill in the gaps of the last 40 years that he has lost due to this. I am now taking the same tretments and have noticed some small and some major changes already and I have only been here one week.We would recommend this to anyone having problems of almost any kind. We saw many other types of wounds healing while we were here.
