Veterans
Our returning military endemically suffer from the trauma of war. The Veterans Administration must and will make available to vets and active military a full range of therapies which will allow them to recover and move on to real engagement with life along with their families and communities.
Both in past wars and today veterans are suffering from conditions which make reentry into life problematical, challenging their physical and emotional health and marginalizing them economically. While these conditions, Post Traumatic Brain /disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussive Brain Injury, known during past wars they were not effectively treated, resulting in many veterans finding themselves facing enormous problems which resulted in broken marriages, loss of jobs, health problems, drug and alcoholism, and suicide. We will change this.
The cost of treating for these problems is far less than the cost exacted from veterans, and from America, if we fail to ensure veterans get what is needed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
A proven therapy which is rapid and used routinely in Russia and China today because it is effective and low in cost.
Dr. Paul Harch has produced results which can help America's military recover and move on.Once in place, these therapies can also be used for victims of other conditions, lowering our medical costs further.
Neurofeedback
These small and inexpensive units are routinely used for ADHD today. They work when applied to problems with addiction as well.
Organic Sulfur
Studies done with this show the increased oxygen to the body can reverse symptoms of aging and aids healing.
