About the session:

Over 800,000 Veterans are suffering from diagnosed, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed brain wounds. Modern medicine does not recognize brain wounding; instead, it uses the language of behavioral and psychological disease. Since 9/11, the suicide rate among Veterans continues to rise. Opioid overdoses, coupled with suicides, number over 250,000 in the last two decades. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) uses oxygen, approved by the FDA for use in 14 indications. It works, and it has been used 100,000 times in the US and worldwide. Safety and efficacy were demonstrated in 21 clinical trials. Ten states have enacted legislation appropriating $32.3 million for HBOT treatments as it has been observed to eliminate suicide ideation. Veterans diagnosed with TBI / PTSD who receive HBOT begin normal sleep patterns, experience reduced nightmares, improved “in the moment” life with family, and gain the ability to return to everyday life and sometimes employment. 

The obvious question: Since HBOT works to heal TBI/PTSD, why isn’t VA (Veterans Administration) using it?
