brain health

A major newspaper coined a new category for repetitive falsehoods, the “Bottomless Pinocchio.” These are falsehoods repeated at least twenty times. We are adding to the brain-wounded totals. We can only hope that we stay in the hundreds, not the tens and hundreds of thousands over the last twenty years. But in what is surely a first, DOD reported in less than two weeks that of at least 140 of the 290 U.S. troops reported wounded last month, 140 have been officially classified as TBI-related.

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.
