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.

NCAA, Concussions, CTE and Brain Wounds: RELEVANCE FOR VETERANS

Veterans and their families with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are in a similar boat as NCAA athletes suffering debilitating concussion symptoms. Two recent legal cases involving former college football players diagnosed with dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) display close parallels.

[Ellie Souter (snowboarder, 2018); Frank Wycheck (NFL, 2025); Demaryius Thomas (NFL, 2021); Mike Webster (NFL, 2002); Kelly Caitlin (Olympic cycling, 2019); Chris Simon (NHL, 2024); Phillip Adams (NFL, 2021); Mike Day (SEAL, 2023); WWII 1000 yard TBI stare; Ryan Larkin (SEAL, 2017); Heather Anderson (AFLW, 2023); John Mackey, NFL, 2011]

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.

Concussions, NFL Playoffs, Veterans, and Science

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.

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.

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.

Veterans on Labor Day: Pray, but Move Your Feet

Coaches routinely tell players: “Move your feet.” The VA and Politicians are fond of sending “Thoughts and Prayers” to wounded Veterans. It’s a good time for Veterans to pray, but don’t just stand there. Take charge. Don’t take useless advice. You can heal, but you have to Move Your Feet.

Concussion Remission and CTE – Part 2

There should be no excuse for doctors and medical staff in the military and professional and college and high school sports that they remain “alter-ignorant” about how to properly diagnose and heal brain wounds. Concussion and CTE are hardly back-water areas of medicine. And the science and peer-reviewed research continues to pile up that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy allows for the remission if not complete healing from brain wounds of all kinds.

“Deja vu all over again.” Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Concussion research and reporting is following a well-worn path that leads to lots of money for research, billions of written words in thousands of studies — and untold numbers of avoidable deaths.

Coming to Scientific Grips with CTE

CTE is a progressive neurodegenerative disease linked to repetitive head trauma, often seen in athletes, military veterans, and others exposed to repeated brain injuries. CTE might start with the first Concussion. Recent research on acute concussions by Dr Daphne Denham demonstrates brain wound healing and symptom reduction/eradication within four Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions.

So What’s the Buzz about a Concussion Treatment Breakthrough?

The Concussion Treatment Breakthrough is about to be revealed in a peer-reviewed journal due out this month. In the piece, validated with an EEG-based brain biomarker, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is shown with objective evidence to quickly relieve and eliminate symptoms of acute Concussion and restore brain functions typically degraded for weeks.
