“He still has a heartbeat and has fight in him. We are wrecked.”
Shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton, one of the toughest gals alive, has pleaded for help finding a “miracle” doctor after her nephew was medivaced from Maui to Oahu following a drowning episode yesterday.
In a post to her 2.4 million followers Hamilton wrote:
HELP‼️ My precious nephew was medivaced to kapiolani in Oahu this morning after drowning last night. He still has a heartbeat and has fight in him.
We are wrecked. But I know how proper medical support can make or break someone’s chance of survival and in this case we’re asking for help from anyone who has information of what we can do to give my nephew the best chance.

It was quickly updated after a follower got Hamilton in touch with a world-renowned doctor famous for his work in hyperbaric medicine, and who is particularly noted for his case study involving a toddler who suffered brain damage due to drowning.
Update we got ahold of Dr Paul Harch help save my nephew and educate doctors in Hawai’i. @harch.hbot
PLEASE ONLY MESSAGE MY BROTHER if you have timely information on other treatments to look into @noahhamiltonphoto my brother Noah’s cell is +1 (808) 652-7667
Please pray. THANK YOU!
Doc Harch preaches Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) which involves the patient breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber. This therapy aims to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream, potentially aiding in the healing of various tissues, including brain tissue.
Following the treatment of the drowned toddler, there was reported to be a significant reversal of brain damage, as evidenced by MRI scans showing a “near-complete reversal” of brain atrophy. This case was highlighted for its potential implications on treating brain injuries, though it sparked skepticism and debate within the medical community.
That case, along with Dr. Harch’s advocacy for HBOT, has been both celebrated for pushing boundaries in medical treatment and criticized for potentially giving false hope or misleading claims about the capabilities of HBOT in reversing brain damage.
But, goddamn, what else are you gonna do? I learned real early on that without someone to advocate for you in hospital, you’re gonna end up on a cold slab real quick.
Here’s hoping for the kid.

Thoughts & Prayers.
Watch the kids not the phone when they are swimming
Thoughts and prayers usually work in her circles, no?
on the contrary, sally.
You can do all you can to protect them, but accidents happen, and I’m sure the little guy knows how to swim. You don’t know the circumstances.
Easy to be a cunt when it’s not your child.
re: good thoughts; yep, they absolutley work. their is a power and energy in the universe that can be good or bad. Like you said, actions are realty, but if your thoughts are good then you will usually manifest a good reality.
i’m not back peddling at all. I have many times dealt with Karma, especially after my involvement with your SOTB pals you often reference, and every time the consequences (Karma) taught me great lessons…..and saved my life.
Now, you’ll come back at me with some shit-bag comment and we could do this all night, but point is this little guy is struggling for his life. not much more to say but I am hoping and praying that he recovers.
You go ahead and pretend to be an uncaring tough guy, but this is my exit.
not wishing ill on it at all.
Karma’s an educator and if Karma steps in and educates it, it’s all for the better of the educated.
My hope is that the little guy fully recovers whether God or modern medicine makes it happen, but then I have a young son, so maybe I’m a bit sensitive to these matters.
Hopefully, you can drop the tough guy BS and wish the best for Bethany’s nephew as well.
Good thoughts by many go a long way in times of need.
maybe, but if not I hope Karma steps in and fixes you.
Such a tragedy.
Glad someone connected them with Doc Harch.
Praying for Bethany’s nephew to survive and make a full recovery.
So your partner didn’t advocate enough for you both to get a warm room and you had to do it on a cold slab? Were needles, cords, stethoscopes, gowns and other paraphernalia involved as well? And did it indeed lead to the kid for whom you were hoping would emerge 10 months later?
