American College of Hyperbaric Medicine: Safety Accreditation Program Launch
The American College of Hyperbaric Medicine (ACHM) is proud to announce the official launch of the ACHM Safety Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) Program, a comprehensive accreditation initiative designed to establish the highest standards for operational safety in clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities across the nation and globally. The ACHM in collaboration with the American Professional Wound Care Association recommend that all wound care centers offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy demonstrate that they are in compliance with the highest industry safety standards, and distinguish themselves with ACHM Safety CAQ accreditation.
The Safety CAQ Program represents a landmark achievement in hyperbaric medicine, providing facilities with a rigorous framework to demonstrate their commitment to patient safety, staff protection, and operational excellence. Developed by the ACHM Safety CAQ Committee, this program is built upon the foundation of the newly released ACHM Safety Consensus Document for Safe Operations in Clinical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

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.

TreatNOW End-of-2025 Update
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. 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.

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.

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.

Veterans Brain Wound Awakening: Part 2
Over 66,000 Veteran Service Organizations have sprung up since 9/11. No one can doubt the overwhelming resilience of most Veterans and the goodwill shown by foundations and volunteers, and billions of dollars of donated monies spent to restore normalcy to Veterans injured in war. No doubt the intentions of investigators on the DOD Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee meant well with their Report that encouraged “caring contacts” but said not a word about healing brain wounds. The entire tenor of the Report ignores any discussion about the physiological underpinnings of suicidal ideation. Suicide continues to be viewed as a problem fixable by more human contact, mental health programs, and psychiatric and drug interventions, not as a physiological condition brought about in any way by an untreated brain wound.

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.
