Many physicians that work in hospital HBOT and Wound Care Departments are inhibited by reimbursement requirements and are unable to treat many of the patients that they know  HBOT would assist in recovery. As this field of medicine grows in the United States, more and more specialist physicians are referring their patients to our Centers for HBOT sessions. Because the list of maladies are so varied, we make 24/7 use of physicians and scientists that have a long acquaintance with HBOT to support the referring physicians and their patients. We are proud to be associated with such an eminent group and our  Center's Medical Directors are be able to draw on their vast experience. The Curriculum Vitae of our Science Advisory Board members are condensed. To view a full version click on the (CV) click-here button appearing in each specialty.

 

Dr. Cramer is a Board Certified General Surgeon who completed a twelve month Fellowship in Hyperbaric Medicine at the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) in 1980.  He subsequently served as the Chief of Hyperbaric Medicine at the USAFSAM from 1982-84.  He has been active with the International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine (ICHM) serving as the President of the 14th ICHM held in San Francisco in 2002.  He has been the Secretary-treasurer since the formal organization of the ICHM (1998-2008).  Dr. Cramer is the Emeritus Director for the  San Francisco Institute for Hyperbaric Medicine  San Fransico Institute

 

The Institute is dedicated to clinical research and education in the rapidly developing field of Hyperbaric Medicine.  Patient treatment under currently accepted guidelines will be provided on a space available basis.

Clinical research protocols will be based upon prospective, randomized, clinical trials.  If the end points are in anyway equivocal, every attempt will be made to double blind the studies.

Hyperbaric Team Training intended for individuals who are new to the field and plan to be involved with clinical HBO treatments on a daily basis will be offered by the Institute. This will include physicians, nurses and technicians.   The course will include both didactic lectures and hands on experience at the Institute’s chamber facility.

A periodic international symposium is also planned.  This will bring international experts from around the world to San Francisco for a state of the art review of the current status of Hyperbaric Medicine.

        Robert Lyne-Sands

    

   Robert received his education at Newington College, Sydney Australia. Robert is the designer and patent holder of a innovative mobile hyperbaric chamber, the “TRCS”, now in fleet-wide use by the United States Navy, Marine Corp. and Coast Guard. The eight-year research and development phase of this transportable chamber system began in 1982. During this period Robert attended many of the Worlds’ foremost hyperbaric research facilities and worked with the U.S. Navy on a collaboration basis. In 1987, the South Pacific Undersea Medicine Society, (whose membership is usually reserved for physicians and full-time hyperbaric researchers) awarded Robert full membership. Robert has lifetime membership in the International Congress of Hyperbaric Medicine.

     Robert moved from Australia to the U.S. in 1990 and became a U.S. Citizen in 2002. He became closely involved in the treatment of many "investigational" illnesses using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These ailments included  HIV/AIDS fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, stroke, autism spectrum disorders. His focus is now on  brain damage caused by traumatic concussion -- the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan War.

     Robert’s professional experience not only includes decades of hands-on work in these "investigational" areas of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, he has more than twenty years of clinical experience in patient treatments for the conditions “approved” by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. Robert has lectured extensively to defense, emergency response groups, specialist physicians and patient groups in Australia, the United States, South America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

    Ms. Kelly LeBrock
    

     Kelly LeBrock, was educated in Quebec, Canada and England. She is best known for her modeling and film career. Kelly's  prime focus is on children. She is the celebrity spokesperson for "Club Carson," -- the  members are all children that suffer from cancer – a club that no one wishes to join but is pleased that it exists – where their oncologists  can  send them for almost zero-cost  hospital standard hyperbaric treatments and nutritional advice.

     In the late 1980's Kelly was one of the first U.S. citizens to own her own hyperbaric chamber – not for vanity reasons.

     Kelly quickly recognized the link between the increased oxidative metabolism, stimulated by exposure to breathing oxygen in a hospital quality hyperbaric chamber and the need for an equal response to  supply these oxygen energized  cells with healing nutrition and nutriceuticals. Kelly started her own brand of homeopathic remedies which quickly landed the shelves of stores across America. Kelly testified to Congress in 1995 to the House Enquiry on Insurance and Medicare Access for alternative treatments on the needs of  all Americans to have affordable access to such powerful remedies..
