TreatNOW End-of-2025 Update

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.

Robert Beckman 873 Views ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

TBI appears to compound suicide risk in veterans: those who experience TBI are 1.5 times more likely to die by suicide than veterans without TBI . . . . This is particularly concerning given the prevalence of TBI in post-9/11 veterans

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.

Treating Invisible Wounds from the Battlefield and the Street

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

Military Veterans: Your Brain Has Been Disconnected

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.

A Half-Truth is a Whole Lie

Robert Beckman 2018 Views ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

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

Robert Beckman 1704 Views ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

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.
