You've got to have brain stem, even something reptilian, to start. It might work on some of the `rats.

Two-year-old Eden Carlson lost a significant amount of brain tissue after spending 15 minutes underwater. Director of Hyperbaric Medicine, Dr. Paul Harch, says she made remarkable improvements after being treated with oxygen for 45 minutes twice a day.
Weeks later, Eden’s parents brought her to New Orleans, and Harch put her in a hyperbaric chamber.
“I dosed it at the same level of oxygen but now with pressure, and she made another very noticeable improvement with just the first hyperbaric treatment and from there just accelerated,” Harch said.
In February of 2016, Eden escaped the baby gate in her home and fell into a near-freezing pool. Eden’s heart did not beat on its own for two hours, as doctors performed CPR for 100 minutes.
Harch says after multiple hyperbaric treatments, Eden could walk and talk again, something doctors said she would never be able to do. He says even more incredible was her brain, as the toddler actually regrew the brain matter she had lost. That was evident in the MRI scans of her brain.
“The MRI came back as ‘normal,’” Harch said, “She had regrown a substantial amount of lost brain tissue, and you could see it involve the entire brain.”
Harch says Eden continues to improve today. This is the first known case of growing back both white and gray brain matter. He says the potential for future patients with similar problems is enormous. He says it will allow for a forum to look at hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
“It’s a therapy that’s been around for 350 years, and the medical profession has missed the potential application of this therapy,” Harch said.
***Two-year-old Eden Carlson lost a significant amount of brain tissue***
Near freezing water temps or not, the child still lost a “significant amount” of white & grey matter.
***Their young brains have remarkable powers of regeneration.***
It isn’t just young brains. There are plenty of instances where neural pathways were essentially re-routed in CVA pts or others with some other type of brain injury.

I saw a documentary once about a child in UK, who was born with, or developed fluid on the brain. Imaging showed almost all fluid in his skull, with a sort of shell of brain tissue surrounding it. He was a twin. Despite the small amount of brain tissue, he was developing at a normal rate. Here’s a link to a similar story:

So there’s hope for liberals after all???
I’m a big fan of dephlogisticated air.
You are absolutely right.
There is nothing wrong with their brains. Their heart and souls on the other hand, are pure evil.
Aside from an authentic religious experience I have never known that to change.
Same therapy that was used on Randal McCloy Jr. after he survived the Sago Mine explosion on 1/6/06. Worked great for him too.

Correction...explosion was on 1/2/06
Just add this example to the growing number of "cases" being cured by hyperbaric medicine, including autism............
I recall reading about this or similar as well. The brain is probably the biggest terra incognito still remaining in medicine.
Well, determining autism or not is a bit more nebulous than having before and after MRI's.
Given the supreme simplicity of hyperbaric treatment, one has to wonder why it isn't used more broadly. The equipment can't be all that expensive to acquire and operate.
No, Congress has been brain dead for decades already.
Would not want to ruin a multi billion dollar cancer treatment industry with a cure would we?
Most likely the cost and the fact it's not proven to be effective. A friend had one session following back surgery that didn't turn out as expected. The cost to him was $145 and they said it could take up to 40 sessions........yea, right.
$145 doesn't strike me as all that expensive compared to many other medical treatments. And it "is" obviously effective for some things, given the MRI evidence for this case.
"A friend had one session following back surgery that didnt turn out as expected."
And what was "expected"?? Not all treatments work for all patients, unfortunately. If it was "reduced pain", then it falls into the same category of nebulousness as autism.
Certainly not 40 sessions at $145 a pop.....and they're not covered by insurance.
Especially a child’s brain.
That doesn't answer my question. What TREATMENT "result" was expected that didn't happen.
