"Traumatic brain injuries are quickly emerging as the signature wound of the U.S. war with Iran so far, echoing a pattern of post-9/11 wars, according to a U.S. official. More than 200 U.S. troops have so far been wounded in the war, and at least 140 of those were TBI-related injuries." ABC News

Military Encounters lead to TBI

Three and a half weeks into the Iran Encounter, ABC reported over 200 US casualties. 140 were reported to be suffering from what used to be called “the invisible wounds of war,” TBI and PTSD.

Authorizing HBOT puts the US on an equal footing with Israel. It would start an immediate cost savings, rebuild force resilience, improve quality of life for hundreds of thousands of Veterans and their families, and is in keeping with the basic precepts of MAHA and their New Vision of Transformative Medical Care.

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. . . Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1

March is TBI Awareness Month, as the White House has reminded us. The Sea of Troubles at the VA and DoD is the suicide epidemic, their continuing #1 medical priority. It is also Academy Awards month. Up for Best Picture is HAMNET, named for William Shakespeare’s son, and the background to his revenge tragedy, Hamlet.

Hamlet’s reflections on Yorick’s skull is focused on death and revenge. The “Sea of Troubles” for Hamlet was bringing justice to his father’s murderer. For us and the families of the 159,000+ suicides, justice demands accountability for the Suicide Epidemic, and the memories of service members who died before their time.

Opening Possibilities to Brain-Wounded Veterans

It’s hard not to be cynical in the face of a medical culture that is slowly changing over time. That’s inevitable as more worldwide science shows how effective Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is in reversing suicidal ideation and in helping heal those brain wounds which keep announcing their presence with months and years of symptoms that degrade lives and families.

Helping in that eventuality are such groups as the Heritage Foundation and their growing interest in alternative, innovative technologies like Hyperbaric medicine and photobiomodulation. Equally interesting are Olympic athletes like Mikaela Shiffrin and Michael Phelps and hundreds of professional athletes and teams using Hyperbaric therapy for healing, recuperation, peak performance, and concussion recovery.

American College of Hyperbaric Medicine: Safety Accreditation Program Launch

The American College of Hyperbaric Medicine (ACHM) is proud to announce the official launch of the ACHM Safety Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) Program, a comprehensive accreditation initiative designed to establish the highest standards for operational safety in clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities across the nation and globally. The ACHM in collaboration with the American Professional Wound Care Association recommend that all wound care centers offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy demonstrate that they are in compliance with the highest industry safety standards, and distinguish themselves with ACHM Safety CAQ accreditation.

The Safety CAQ Program represents a landmark achievement in hyperbaric medicine, providing facilities with a rigorous framework to demonstrate their commitment to patient safety, staff protection, and operational excellence. Developed by the ACHM Safety CAQ Committee, this program is built upon the foundation of the newly released ACHM Safety Consensus Document for Safe Operations in Clinical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Failing to treat brain wounds can lead to degraded lives, escalating healthcare costs, depression, and suicide. Images of successes and the history of servicemember suicides and effects of negligence can be found here. Those above are mostly dead from suicide, diagnosed after death with CTE.

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: The NFL, DoD and the VA should immediately treat brain-wounded Service Members and concussed athletes with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). We can return players to action and stop the suicide and opioid overdose epidemics and bolster readiness imperiled by untreated brain wounds. The evidence of safety and efficacy is backed by over 28 clinical trials. Oversight of Veteran suicides seems to be left to family members, friends, some not-for-profits, and the media since Congress, the VA and DoD allow the carnage to continue.

Dear VA Secretary Collins

We are appealing to you to change the culture at the VA from one of “brain wounds are a mental health issue” to one of: “brain wounds like TBI/PTSD/PCS/BLAST/Concussion must be treated like a wound and healed using modern, proven, scientifically validated alternative therapies.” Brain wounds — TBI/PTSD/PCS/BLAST/Concussion — are wounds. They can be treated. The world outside the VA is treating them with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), doing the job your VA cannot and will not do.
