Weaponization of Science: Winning the War for Truth
Publishers are not acting in good-faith and in a transparent and fair fashion to the researchers that have done the yeoman’s work to inform the public. There is certain information that is viewed as too outside the Overton Window, to be allowed out in the open. Too bad this is science and not politics – with politics you would expect this level of underhanded, power-seeking behavior. With science, this is never acceptable.

The Brain Wound Awakening: Part I
We intend to explore realistic paths forward that can make the VA and DOD real heroes to the Veterans so in need of help for their brain wounds. The Awakening has to happen on both sides, those that resist, and those that need to understand that resistance. We need to find ways to sit with decision makers to construct the roadmap to success.

In Memoriam: Dr. Carol Henricks
Dr. Carol Henricks, a premier neurorehabilitation and Hyperbaric Oxygenation specialist, passed away on October 1, 2025 in a way that makes her friends smile.

No brain wound healing is possible in the current system. Pills and talk therapy rule.

Helping the VA do the Right Things, Starting with Suicide Prevention
Inform Veterans about alternatives to pharmaceuticals; alternative, non-invasive, proven therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) that actually heal brain wounds instead of the “mental health” approach: masking and palliating symptoms forever. . . . or until the Veteran disappears or succumbs to suicide.

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.

Concussion Remission and CTE – Part 1
“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.
