Concussion: Veterans, NFL, Havana Syndrome victims equally mistreated

The level of negligence in treating brain wounds continues unabated. The number of injured increases, along with budgets to diagnose, but not to treat and heal. Significant end-of-year investigative reporting reveals the continuing institutional negligence in facing the human and financial costs of brain wounds, whether from sports, war, or "unknown causes." First, a look at the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’S EFFORTS TO PROVIDE FACILITATED MEDICAL CARE AND BENEFITS FOR INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY ANOMALOUS HEALTH INCIDENTS . The Report summarizes festering problems with the "gaslighting" by the CIA: the absence of a clear case definition for AHIs, uncertainty surrounding the origin of AHIs, and CIA’s evolving organizational position that have greatly complicated CIA’s ability to consistently and transparently facilitate medical care, provide compensation and other benefits, and communicate clearly about AHIs to the workforce. Perhaps the most significant recommendation for victims of AHI is #10: "CIA should develop a comprehensive, consolidated, and easily accessible listing of AHI related care and benefit programs that CIA employees and contractors may be eligible for, including links to related policies, points of contact, frequently asked questions by program, and any other additional information needed for the individuals to access these programs." The nature of AHIs, and the difficulty of even diagnosing the cause of the polytrauma suffered by victims, necessitates use of alternative therapies outside the "standard of care" employed at government and mental health facilities. It is abundantly clear that the overwhelming number of victims suffered traumatic brain injuries. Current protocols for TBI are sadly lacking. Further, the interview and diagnostic processes at places like the National Intrepid Center of Excellence have led to massive numbers of complaints by patients of disrespect and disregard, along with rejections of demonstrated evidence of TBI by outside sources. These realities are in addition to the inadequate care provided. But getting that diagnosis is only a part of the challenge. Reinbursement for alternative therapies is next to impossible, despite growing evidence that treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) are providing the healing and help that aren't available with drugs and computer-based therapies. Current protocols are thus stacked against accurate diagnosis of the injuries, and further slanted in the direction of inadequate treatment protocols. Victims of AHI continue personal physical and mental battles with their health, exacerbated by the stress of fighting their own Agencies and the bureaucracy for recognition, rehabilitation, and restitution. Meanwhile, the pain of the victims continues, even though treatments exist that are already proving to be game-changers. Second, investigative reporter Katherine Herridge released a smoking gun report on Agency and DOD/IC responses to claims of victims of AHI. The report includes a letter from DOD in March 2024 that countermanded claims by many across the government that claims of attack were spurious or the results of mass hysteria. The letter states: "we believe your experiences are real, and we are unwaveringly committed to continue to provide quality care to you and those who are eligible." Sadly, that "quality care" promise is routinely violated, according to numerous interviews with victims who endure unending obstruction and disrespect. Even cursory oversight of senior leadership at the NICoE would reveal the execrable and repetitive behavior of particular doctors who are unrepentant in their denunciation of the claims of victims. The Report on X this week includes an extended interview with an AHI victim. She is a victim of both the attacks and the system that treats her like a leper. Perhaps a new administration can make a dent in the "leave us alone" mentality in military medicine and bureaucratic obstructions, but not without listening to the victims and those who are treating and healing them without compensation or recognition. TreatNOW's continuing support to AHI victims, and the record of successes treating and healing their AHI-induced brain wounds/TBI, attests to the existence of treatments that the DOD/IC and the VA continue to resist. And it is clear that nay-sayers within the IC system who claim no weapon exists that could cause such damage have not kept up with decades of fielded systems, including high-power microwave (HPM) systems developed by Epirus. Yet those minority voices that deny the suffering and claims from America's best and brightest Russia analysts continue their litany of arguments that any Eagle Scout could debunk in a day with an A.I. assisted research set of questions. Third, the Washington Post continues its reporting on "The Concussion Files" with revelations about the work of BrownGreer, the law firm hired to adjudicate claims against the NFL under the landmark NFL concussion settlement. The firm and the NFL promised to compensate every former player with dementia or a brain disease linked to head trauma. Sadly, the wounded must wait, and wait. The wiggle room allowed by overly broad weasel words and the second- and third-guessing by settlement doctors, expert panels of "reviewers" and skulking legal investigators intent on denying claimants' reports inhibits successful claims by years. Despite paying out in excess of $1.2 billion to only 4,000 of the eligible 20,000+ retired players, there are still over 75% of retirees still outside the process. And those already making claims are being subjected to protracted and too-often futile attempts to make their cases that their symptoms of depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological and behavioral deficiencies are tied to their careers in the NFL. Some have died with CTE before they even received a proper diagnosis. Don't let the blue tent of their "Concussion Protocol" hijinks fool you. No medicine is being performed in that tent or in the legal negotiations that stall payments for head injuries. Neither active nor retired players with brain wounds are being told that treatment exists for their symptoms. To admit there is a treatment is to be forced to answer the next questions: "When did you know and what did you do to stall adequate treatment? And why aren't you telling players they can get help immediately?" These late year revelations all point to bureaucratic stonewalling to deny victims both status, adequate diagnosis, and treatments that are proven but which fall outside of "standard of care." The irony of course is that medicine admits it is confused, on new ground, without prior experience, and groping in the dark to even properly explain what has happened. Sounds like a recipe for a new set of approaches with the welfare of the victims in mind. It will be a happier new year when we Heal Brains. Stop Suicides. Restore Lives.

NexGen Hyperbaric Partners with Philadelphia Flyers to Implement Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Current and Former Players

Alternative nonpharmaceutical treatments appear to be gaining acceptance for the treatment of common neurodegenerative conditions, memory decline, and reduced cognitive function. Substantial animal and human research now suggests that these same natural dietary supplements, vitamins and minerals, and the use of hyperbaric oxygen may be a better first-line choice for the treatment of Post Concussive Syndrome, which has generally been underreported by both athletes and the military. Maroon and Bost, Clinical Neurosurgery. Dr. Joe Maroon has been affiliated as Team Physician with the Pittsburgh Steelers for over thirty years. PRESS RELEASE PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexGen Hyperbaric (NexGen) is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the Philadelphia Flyers, making them the first team in the National Hockey League (NHL) to integrate hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) into a comprehensive wellness plan that supports not only their current players but also alumni. This innovative step positions the Flyers at the forefront of player health and wellness, as they utilize NexGen's proprietary mobile hyperbaric system. The Flyers' commitment to using this advanced system reinforces their dedication to ensuring longevity, performance, and recovery for both their active roster and alumni. By leveraging NexGen's mobile HBOT technology, the Flyers are setting a new standard in sports medicine. As the first team in the NHL to offer cutting-edge treatment of this kind to existing and former players, the Flyers are creating a holistic approach to athlete care that extends beyond active play, ensuring that everyone who has a hand in building and extending the team's legacy benefits from the latest in recovery science. "NexGen Hyperbaric is a partner that the Flyers are very excited to be working with as we look to the future of advanced care for our athletes," said Ian McKeown, Vice President of Athlete Performance & Wellness. "It's clear that NexGen is aligned with our vision of the importance to enhance player performance and wellness, while being on the cutting edge of technology to give our athletes an advantage in recovery and overall health at all stages of their career and beyond." A First-to-Market Approach to Player Wellness The Flyers' decision to implement HBOT into their wellness plan for both current and former players sets a precedent within the NHL. By being first to market with this approach, the team underscores their forward-thinking vision of what athlete health truly entails—recognizing that the physical and cognitive demands of professional hockey do not end when a player's career does. By offering former players access to this advanced treatment, the Flyers are acknowledging the long-term impacts of the game, making sure those who gave their all on the ice have access to the best tools for recovery and cognitive health. Enhanced Medicine: Unlocking Full Biological Potential The Flyers are not just using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat injuries; they are embracing enhanced medicine—a proactive approach aimed at optimizing the body and mind's full biological potential. HBOT is known not only for accelerating recovery from physical injuries but also for enhancing mental clarity, improving cognitive function, and promoting overall wellness. This therapy can help the body recover more quickly, prevent future injuries, and sharpen mental performance—enabling athletes to not just heal but to thrive. By integrating HBOT, the Flyers are actively working to make their players healthier, stronger, and more resilient, taking performance and wellness to the next level. Benefits of Caring for Former Players The benefits of integrating HBOT into the Flyers' wellness program are multi-faceted. For current players, HBOT aids in faster recovery from injuries, reduces inflammation, and shortens rehabilitation time, allowing them to return to top form more quickly. However, it is the team's commitment to former players that truly distinguishes this partnership. The cumulative toll of professional sports can linger long after retirement, with many former players facing chronic pain, cognitive issues from concussions, and decreased quality of life. By offering HBOT, the Flyers are providing a lifeline that can help alleviate these challenges, delivering lasting benefits to those who helped shape the team's history. "By committing to the health and well-being of both current and former players, the Flyers are truly leading the way in sports medicine and recovery," said Jonathan Rotella, CEO of NexGen Hyperbaric. "This is more than just recovery for the next game—this is about making sure that those who gave their all for the team are taken care of long after they've stepped off the ice. It's a pioneering move, and we're proud to be a part of it." A Vision for Long-Term Health The Flyers' vision for player wellness goes far beyond the typical. By integrating HBOT into their holistic health strategy, they are investing in the future well-being of every player who has worn the Flyers jersey, ensuring that the best recovery tools are available at every stage of life. This approach not only helps current players recover faster and play better but also gives former athletes the chance to improve their quality of life long after they've left the game. About NexGen Hyperbaric NexGen Hyperbaric is a leader in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, offering innovative solutions to enhance healing, optimize performance, and promote long-term health. Our proprietary mobile HBOT systems are designed to meet the needs of athletes, medical professionals, hospitals, and anyone seeking to improve recovery and cognitive function at a high level.

Labor Day, 2024 The Cost of Doing Business

“The Cost of Doing Business” is frequently used to describe the overhead costs or losses that are expected but unpredictable. For example, breakage, disaster damage, Covid closings, lawsuits, or, god forbid, protection money or “incentive” payments. Most businesses have insurance or an “other” category for unexpected losses. In the world of war/national defense, equipment like planes and ships and tanks deteriorate – or “depreciate” – over time. They are both fixed costs and subject to deterioration and total loss. Accountants take account of those costs. It’s not quite the same with human life and death, and particularly injuries like brain wounded Veterans. In the world of Labor, salaries are a known expense, and are not typically tax deductible. The rules around professional athletes’ salaries, however, are quite different. Owners like Steve Ballmer of the LA Clippers NBA team can take the kinds of deductions on team assets — everything from media deals to player contracts — that industrialists and the Pentagon take on factory equipment. Those lowered taxes allow owners to pay far less tax than the players or even the workers in the snack bar. For the Defense Department, tax considerations play little role in budgeting other than “the cost of doing business” is measured in lives, and readiness, and morality. It’s been twenty years since the death of Pat Tilman, the NFL player who left the Arizona Cardinals to become an Army Ranger. His death by friendly fire continued a tradition of sacrifice going back several wars, joining Bob Kalsu and Nile Kinnick on the honor role of NFL KIAs. George McAfee, Art Donovan, Chuck Bednarik, Rocky Bleier, Chad Hennings, and Alejandro Villanueva were NFL players who came back to pro careers after service. Whether in the NFL or the military, they were expendable. They accepted this. But the fact remains: rehabilitation after major injuries, especially TBI/PTSD, then and now, is far short of what is possible to return the “asset” to a state of health. The records also show how some of the richest people on the planet use their membership in the exclusive club of pro sports team owners to lower their tax bills. The records upend conventional wisdom about how taxation works in America. Billionaire owners are consistently paying lower tax rates than their millionaire players — and often lower even than the rates paid by the workers who staff their stadiums. The massive reductions on personal tax bills that owners glean from their teams come on top of the much-criticized subsidies the teams get from local governments for new stadiums and further deplete federal coffers that fund everything from the military to medical research to food stamps and other safety net programs. Government Contractors have long been known to work the system to both keep out opposition and lower their tax burdens. All businesses flirt with tax loopholes and aggressive accounting to lower costs and increase profits. But 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. In a sport this violent, the question is not whether a player will get hurt, but when. According to a 2017 Harvard analysis the mean injury rate in the NFL is 5.90 injuries a game, compared with 0.45 in MLB, 0.16 in the NBA and 0.59 in the NHL. "The average NFL career lasts 3.3 years, according to the NFL Players' Association; 78 percent of players go broke within three years of retirement and 15.7 percent file for bankruptcy within 12 years of leaving the league, according to a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research." But the hidden costs affect not just the pros. Of the 44 million children and adolescents participating in sports, the estimated incidence of concussion is 1.1–1.9 million yearly. Generally, children are expected to recover in 28 days, but symptoms can last longer, and this is known as persistent/prolonged post-concussion symptoms (PPCS). Cost of doing business? Certainly for a family that doesn’t realize it doesn’t have to be this way. They have not been told about the research and clinical evidence showing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) heals wounds and eliminates symptoms from concussion within one week. 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. Continuing with the failed pharmacology and talk therapy treatment protocols results in an estimated Veteran re-occurring annual lifetime economic impact of $4.7 Trillion. Over the 40-year lifetime of TBI Veterans, treating versus not treating brain wounds is less than 0.42 percent of the total impact cost to not treat all TBI Veterans. And suicides among those brain wounded would be virtually eliminated. The National Brain-Wounded Veteran Brain Drain: Cost-Benefit Analysis of Changing the DoD and VA Standard of Care for TBI and Suicide Prevention. www.treatnow.org The validity of using HBOT for wound healing to the brain is validated in the most recent research. Unsurprisingly, delivering oxygen under pressure safely and economically leads to effective wound healing. Numerous other interventions for comorbid maladies have a much better chance of effectiveness when the concussion cascade is interrupted, healed, and reversed. ****************************** The TreatNOW Mission is ending service member suicides.
