REMEMBERING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICES: U.S. Service Members, 1776-2025

American History has been described as constant war, punctuated by periods of peace. Depending on your count, America has been involved in 85 “wars” since 1776. Practically every year in our 250 year history had American service members in harm’s way, frequently in multiple areas of the world. Whether fighting Indians or Iranians; whether alone or in alliances; whether defending direct American interests, or the sovereignty of the oppressed, American service members have bled and died, doing their duty.

Memorial Day. We remember. An historical event, a looking back, a time of reverie and commitment to do better.

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.

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: DoD and the VA should immediately treat brain-wounded Service Members with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and other proven alternative therapies to 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. Read More

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.

The month of June was intended to give more time and visibility to education, advocacy, and support for those affected by post-traumatic stress disorder—both veterans and civilians alike. 15 years later, we still have an epidemic of suicides in service members: now over 153,000 since 9/11. Cases of PTSD are on the rise, owing in part to the COVID pandemic and the effects of long-haul COVID.

A brain injury is a wound that never heals without the appropriate treatments of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Neurofeedback, and supplementation. Specifically, MRI-DTI’s are revealing what was once considered invisible wounds of the brain. Some Veterans and First Responders have requested a second MRI-DTI after completing all treatments. These follow up MRI-DTI’s have shown significant and visible healing of fiber tracts resulting in lives restored. What a sight to see! Read More

When veterans do not suffer other physical trauma, their brain trauma often goes unrecognized. Being able to walk, talk, and eat does not signify a lack of injury. Concussion is not just a brain bruise; it is a serious injury with profound consequences if healing does not occur. It is time for concussion injury to be correctly diagnosed and treated. Read More
