The Hyperbaric Lifestyle
An extensive hyperbaric coaching program with Dan Fredrickson
What is a hyperbaric lifestyle?
This is when you start to set up your life by compressing all the good things that are happening in your life and purging the things that are not taking you to your place of happiness, fulfillment, and a great future for you and the people you love.
The hyperbaric lifestyle is all about changing your attitude about people and events that are influencing your life. Quoting Charles Swindell, “I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace.” I try every day to live by those quotes. I’ve found that by doing this I have far less conflict in my life and much more empathy and caring for people. I think the reason is, by looking at why a situation is happening rather than reacting to what is going on, has changed my whole perspective of the entire emotional setup of each conflicting situation. It solves a lot of issues so much easier and I don’t say or do things that I regret later because of the emotional lack of control in heated conversations.

It's a Frame of Mind
I’ve been working in the field of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for over 45 years and have had many successes helping people overcome great adversity with their health issues. These are problems that standard medicine couldn’t handle, and these people were basically told, either do some horrible medical procedure or take highly reactive side effect drugs or just suffer. In almost all of these cases, we were able to help cure short- and long-term medical problems.
The real problem I have with my patients, is putting them in the right frame of mind by teaching them the Hyperbaric Lifestyle. The desperation I see on these people’s faces when they come in would be heart breaking to most, but I have a different path for them. First, is to understand that they have control of their thinking. Second, there are always many ways to tackle a problem. Third, there is hope. I give them examples of many of my other patients that have had success healing the same or similar things that they were suffering from.

A Different Approach
I give them a different perspective of how a body heals and to never let some DUDE with a Dr. title in front of his name be the controller of my thinking, health, and life. They are just giving their opinion to you from the limited information that they know and only that. Everything else that isn’t in their small wheelhouse of knowledge is unproven or can’t be relied on. This is true of any “expert” (even me). Doctors have huge egos and hate to be told they are wrong or worse yet don’t know something. They will fight tooth and nail to prove they are correct even at the detriment of their patients. (Think Chemo for cancer patients) Bold statement but having been in the progressive nondrug medical business of healing patients for over 45 years, has given me many situations that have conflicted with the standard drug and surgery business of doctors. Doctors are very busy and most do not take the time to keep up with all the new innovations in healing that are constantly improving our health without drugs. Doctors get 0% training in anything outside of slicing, dicing, and drugging patients. In all my experience with doctors, I have split them into two categories. Money Doctors and Healing Doctors. ( I have another article about “How to choose your Doctor). Obviously, they are in conflict constantly. Each has their own way of getting patients to follow their recommendations.
Money Doctors
Money doctors, or gloom and doom doctors, tell patient, “Honestly” about what’s happening to them in disturbingly graphic ways. This is to convince or scare them that their opinion, usually drug, slice, and dice treatment, is the only sensible way to take care of this problem. If alternative procedures are asked about, they are, through doctor ignorance and bias, generally told they aren’t effective or are based on voodoo science. The term Voodoo Science has been used to describe alternative medicine (acupuncture, chiropractors, massage and nutritional diet) for decades. It is used by pharmaceutical companies to push people to the only intelligent decision about their health is taking, our pills, shots and surgery. The alternative is just plain foolish. The funny part about that is, if it were just garbage, then why is it still around and people having success using it with proven testing and history of success? Using the Nazi philosophy, “If you say a lie long enough and often enough people start to believe it as truth.”
The Power of Hyperbaric
An example of the money doctor attitude about medicine. We were negotiating with a doctor, who owned a brain injury clinic, to put a mobile trailer with chamber to give Hyperbaric Treatments to his patients on-site. We had already treated two of his long-term patients that were getting moved out because their insurance wouldn’t pay anymore. The patients had languished in his clinic for 6 months with no improvement. Each patient did 40 HBOT treatments to start and both had remarkable improvement. One of the dads confronted the doctor, at a new patient group meeting, about why he didn’t recommend HBOT this before. The dad yelled before they asked him to leave,” My son has more improvement in one month from Hyperbarics than you said he would ever have in his entire life”.
The father was escorted out and later when I spoke to the Doctor about why he wasn’t going to have Hyperbarics at his clinic, He said, “I lose too many patients”. In other words, money is more important them people.

I have many more stories, but you understand what I mean.
The other smaller group is the Real Doctors. They have the exact opposite attitude as the Money Doctor. These Doctors investigate what’s going on in a patient’s life along with what health issues they have and with the patient work out a real plan for them to heal and be happy.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments along with a doable health plan and positive mindset can conquer just about anything.

2) Daydreaming, not visualizing.
One is something you try to do and the other is something you escape with. Take a vacation in your head.
In this session we will explore:
The difference between visualizing (work) and daydreaming (vacation).
How to use each (visualizing and daydreaming) to move you to your path of balance and success.
Seeing and feeling are the same. Can’t have one without the other. Strange how our brain works.
3) Having a kids’ lunch.
Remember the happiness of opening your lunch bag and seeing what goodies were inside. The blast of adventure and excitement, on a small scale, made it something to look forward to almost every day.
In this session we will explore:
The adventure of opening up something that is unknown and experiencing the joy of discovery.
Lunch is a social mixing of ideas, cultures and adventure.
A feeling of security is knowing you have a bag full of food. It frees your mind to think about anything. No worries on a full stomach.
Trading goodies at lunch is the best part of all.

4) How to clean up your life inside and out.
How many time have you said,”I’m (going, want, need, have) to really get my shit together”. No one wants to get their shit together, really. That’s called constipation. You want to eliminate the shit in your life. Here’s a start to looking at and planning the life long task of eliminating and keeping the sewage in your life to as little as possible.
In this session we will explore:
Financial cleaning- other then health, money is the 2nd most important aspect of your life. It controls almost everything you can do. We were never taught any of this in school.
Food and drink - Of course, everything you put in your body will make a difference but with all the conflicting info about what’s good for you, how do you figure out a reasonable way to eat that is both tasty and good for you and not difficult to do and within your budget.
Family and friends - One of the most important parts of your life is the people you hang around with. They can positively lead you where you want to go or they can be the worst influence of your life. Learn to see the difference.
Learn to listen between the lines about what people really mean.
See if being around certain people and places are helping or hindering your progress and success.

5) Lessons I learned as a Navy Deep Sea Diver.
What Navy Dive school taught me about being prepared to be for anything in life and how you can organize your life the same way. Ask the question can I do this better, faster, more efficient, safer or cheaper?
In this session we will explore:
Be in top mental condition. Sounds kind of corny but without keeping your head together nothing else works right. What I mean by this is to get your rest, don’t eat a lot greasy, processed foods. Instead of sodas drink lots of clean filtered water. You do these things when you have a choice. Your brain is the most important organ in your body and it needs rest and hydration and glucose from good food. Thinking your out of a problem is much better then working really hard physically to solve it.
Be in top physical condition. When I was first entering Navy Dive School, my first priority was being in the best physical condition I could. Physical fatigue was the most common reason students dropped out of school. My class started with 44 people and after there the third week ( which was scuba hell week ) our class dropped to 11 people. These 11 were people I knew I could trust because, to get this far in school, you had to be tough, confident and have a never quit attitude no matter how difficult the situation became. I knew that if something happened to me my dive team was going to be their whether their life was at risk or not. My back was always covered and I cover theirs with the same attitude. They’d have to take both of us if they wanted to get through us. I always started with rule one, think about the smartest way to do or get something, and if I’d have to gut it out physically if need be. Knowing that you can be as physical as possible is very good at building confidence in your ability.
Patience is one of the most difficult things I have ever learned. It is an on going lesson for me. I was a very hyperactive kid growing up and I drove my mother crazy, always getting into things and never stopping. So, stopping and waiting for anything was extremely difficult for me. In Navy Boot Camp just standing in line for endless minutes was torture. The beginning area of Boot camp was known as Worn Island, because when you first arrived, no one could stand still and it looked like a bunch of worms wiggling around. By the end of Boot Camp, we could stand for hours and not move. Forced patience.

6) What is your end purpose?
If you have an idea of where you’re going you can at least point yourself in the right direction. If you know your prize, you can find a path to it. Enjoy the journey.
In this session we will explore:
What’s your story? This is the old, I’m looking at my grave stone and what’s written on it? After you laugh and think of all the funny ones, then write a serious one, it can change your whole way of thinking depending on where it goes.
How to write your future, even if you have terrible penmanship. Graffiti your mind with directional signs. Always read the road signs in your mind. If you’re really looking, they rarely lead you in the wrong direction.
7) Remodeling your life.
Life like your house needs to be remodeled to keep updated on everything from health, fashion, technology and new ideas about travel, food and directions of purpose. And just like when you remodel your house, having the correct tools, knowledge, and plan, gets the job done in an orderly, step by step fashion.
In this session we will explore:
Every house gets older and needs to be upgraded with new products and ideas. Life is the same and is always about change. Those that don’t change become dinosaurs and fall to the wayside, useless and forgotten.
Putting in a new double door to your mind opens up so many new ideas to experience.
Constantly review your plans and change as needed when more knowledge and information is gathered and understood.
Always be ready for the next remodeling of your life. It is exciting to be constantly looking for improvement and discovery.

8) Walk a mile in my shoes.
The toughest thing to do when you have an interaction with anyone, is how to act around them. Especially when you don’t know their background.
In this session we will explore:
How to get most information by looking and observing someone - the airport game.
How to start a conversation to find direction of conversations- What’s a compliment in one person is an insult to an other. How to know.
What kind of shoes am I wearing? - They say a lot about the person and their situation, look down and evaluate yourself.
By practicing these lessons, it can help give you a clearer insight to a person or groups thinking. This will give you a much better chance to start a great relationship without accidentally blowing it without knowing it.
