The latest clinical study on the use of Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT) to treat and help heal brain wounds and reduce symptoms from brain injuries showed positive results. The journal Scientific Reports this week published A double-blind randomized trial of hyperbaric oxygen for persistent symptoms after brain injury. This study is the 18th Clinical Trial among 27 peer-reviewed studies that all show the positive effects of HBOT for treating and helping heal brain wounds from TBI/PTSD. Read More

A Half-Truth is a Whole Lie

Lately, polarized politics turns all problems into wicked problems. Thus, politics has become a series of half-truths dressed up as policy statements that become rallying cries and wish lists. Concerning Veterans, four half-truths that have become whole lies are instructive. The sad fact is also that the VA and DoD persist in continuing to repeat the lies that their research proves that HBOT is unproven, unsafe, ineffective, costly, risky, or worse.

The NFL could run the VA, and vice versa

It is not hyperbole to draw parallels between the NFL and the VA [and DoD as well] when it comes to willful ignorance about how to both diagnose and treat brain wounds, no matter when suffered. And even they know that the earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the greater the likelihood that suicides, suffering and costs are reduced.

How Hyperbaric Oxygenation is Restoring Brains damaged by AHI, Burn Pits, BLAST/TBI/PTSD/Concussion

The validity of using HBOT for wound healing to the brain is validated in the most recent research. Unsurprisingly, delivering oxygen under pressure safely and economically leads to effective wound healing. And numerous other interventions for comorbid maladies have a much better chance of effectiveness when the concussion cascade is interrupted and reversed.

Pathophysiology of Brain Wounding, AKA: How is Damage Caused by a Brain Wound?

Over 100 years of research show that repeated BLAST Exposures (RBE) have negative effects on the human brain. Researchers want to come up with better and faster ways to identify brain injury. And the only non-pharma-based intervention to heal those brain wounds that is available now is not being used: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Veterans: Your Brain May be Unwired

We need to support our brain’s ability to heal. Our bodies, our brains are designed to heal. When tissue is wounded, extra oxygen is necessary for the tissue to survive and heal. HBOT is a powerful tool that enhances the oxygen delivery in the blood and has been proven to help the brain to heal and detoxify. Read More
The mass slaughter of North American bison by settlers of European descent is a well-known ecological disaster. An estimated eight million bison (from a high of 30-60 million) roamed the United States in 1870, but just 20 years later fewer than 500 of the iconic animals remained.

From football fields to battlefields to America’s classrooms and assisted living facilities, citizens and policymakers and the medical profession are wondering what can be done about suicides, “mental health” and the growing sense that daily life is causing damage to our brains. Whether it’s sports, or legal and illegal drugs, or violence, or online abuse and bullying and shaming, or mass casualty events, or the suicide and opioid epidemics, increasing numbers of young and old have “mental health problems.” We seem to be losing our minds.

2024 reminds us that the Veterans Administration continues off-course by avoiding actual brain wound healing while pumping more $$$$ into research, “Mental Health,” and achieving a new normal. Meanwhile, the suicide rate continues upward. Read More
