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.

Thank You for Your Sacrifice

What do the pictures have in common? The faces of brain injured Warriors and athletes who sacrificed, not just served. And too many dead with undiagnosed brain wounds.

We’re twenty-four years out since 9/11. On the order of fifteen thousand Americans — roughly seven thousand U.S. service members and about eight thousand U.S. military contractors — have been killed in the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and related theaters, according to the best available research. Ten times that number are dead from suicide over the same period, and 877,000+ Veterans and millions of citizens suffer with untreated brain wounds.

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.

On periphery, former NFL ballplayers diasnosed with CTE after their untimely deaths: Jovan Belcher, Bubba Smith, Junior Seau, Ken Stabler, Andre Waters, Aaron Hernandez, Demaryius Thomas and Mike Webster. Researchers have found CTE in 345 of 376 former NFL players studied. Center montage of "1000 yard stare" evidence of brain wounds from multiple wars.

Labor Day, 2024 The Cost of Doing Business

In the world of athletes and service members, there’s a particularly odious reality: service members and athletes are expendable commodities that have to be replenished or taken off the books to achieve peak performance, to win. On this Labor Day, here’s a FACT CHECK ON TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP of untreated brain wounds. It would be a one-time adjusted cost of $19.7 Billion to treat and help heal all 877,450 TBI Veterans with 80 HBOT treatments.

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.

Veteran Organizations Have to Step UP to End the Suicide Epidemic

If you want to help end suicides, you have to help heal Brain Wounds so that Service Members have a chance at a lifetime of health, not a moment of relaxation from pain and suffering. Now get out there and refer the brain wounded to us and lobby those VSOs and your state legislatures to join in the functional medicine approach to helping restore health and Quality of Life to the wounded and their families. Get the VSOs to fund and lobby hard at the state and federal levels to actually help heal brain wounds.

It’s happening again. We can all be thankful on Independence Day, but a special group of people suffer a dependency that locks them into a constraining future. Veterans suffering brain wounds, and anyone with an untreated brain injury/Concussion/TBI/PTSD knows the confines of polytrauma, sometimes years after the injury.
