The TreatNOW Coalition today released a paper by Dr. Ken Stoller, HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY for BRAIN REPAIR. The essence of Dr. Stoller’s arguments is that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) heals “invisible” brain wounds the same way it heals visible wounds. The FDA already approves HBOT for use in healing five “wounds”: carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness (“the bends”), arterial gas embolism, thermal burns, and diabetic foot ulcers. Effort must now be placed on gaining recognition of the science behind the evidence of safety and efficacy of brain wound healing in the thirty clinical trials already published.

Moral Choices have a Vector, and Medical Appeasement has a Body Count

State investment to expand hyperbaric oxygen therapy for North Carolina veterans with TBI, PTSD. Statistics on the past three years reinforce the 30 clinical trials showing HBOT for TBI/PTSD is safe and effective.

This study is the first to systematically evaluate the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in adults with chronic longstanding neurocognitive impairments stemming from post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI). Decades later, statistically significant improvements were observed across all major cognitive domains, including global cognition, memory, executive function, attention, and information processing speed.

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in persistent cognitive impairments that extend into adulthood, yet it remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on chronic neurocognitive symptoms in adults with PCS stemming from pediatric TBI.

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Robert Oppenheimer, remembering his first thoughts from the Bhagavad Gita at the Trinity Test, July 16, 1945 "It's a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon. This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces." President Trump, February 28, 2026

The nuclear bombings caused ~340,000 Japanese deaths and 150K–300K global fallout casualties. Compare the costs of Afghanistan, Iraq and related Middle East wars just to US forces since 9/11: ~11,000 US armed forces and contractors killed. Over 877,450 “invisibly” brain-wounded Traumatic Brain injuries alongside 53,700 visibly wounded. Over 163,000 Veteran suicides. Over 110,000 Veteran deaths due to prescribed drug overdose deaths.

Admiral, you’re going to get pushback when you seek ground truth about how to treat Operator Syndrome and BLAST brain wounds. The polytrauma that surfmen and SWCC and SEALs and Marauders and Delta and drone operators far from the battlefield experience is treatable. Curative interventions with Hyperbaric Oxygenation and some alternative interventions that work at reversing neurodegeneration and physiologic structural damage are available today across the nation.

Veterans: Close the “Medical Link” Gap with a NEXUS Letter

August 1, 2026 Robert Beckman 574 Views blast injury, concussion, Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy, nexus letter, PTSD, VA disability claims, Veterans, Veterans Affairs

Global Nexus Letter, LLC today announced the launch of its independent medical opinion service designed to help veterans address one of the most common reasons VA disability claims are denied: the absence of a clear medical opinion linking a current diagnosis to military service.

Three out of four domestic violence survivors who experience physical abuse sustain a brain injury. That injury is almost never screened for, almost never diagnosed, and almost never treated as the physical wound it is — it is absorbed instead into psychiatric labels that describe and palliate its symptoms, all without addressing its cause.

Domestic Violence, TBI, and the Case for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

75–80% of intimate partner violence survivors sustain a brain wound. Up to 1.6 million a year — a number that may rival combat and contact-sports TBI combined. The problem isn’t a mystery: it’s invisibility. HBOT — already backed by 29 peer-reviewed studies — is the treatment nobody’s funding for this population.

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.

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.
