23.01.2022 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promising By Mackenzie Raetz, Daily Sun Specialty Editor Dec 2, 2020... Dr. Mohammed Elamir said the hyperbaric oxygen therapy offered at Aviv Clinic in the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood can be tailored to each patient’s needs. https://aviv-clinics.com/ New research shows residents can take their health to new heights with a treatment offered at a local facility. Aviv Clinic in the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a treatment for which patients sit in a chamber or suite that allows them to breathe in 100% pure oxygen in a highly pressurized environment. HBOT is commonly used to treat ailments such as decompression sickness and non-healing wounds, but growing research not only shows it can improve the aging process it may reverse it. Protective structures at the end of chromosomes called telomeres shorten as we age. Once telomeres shorten enough that they can no longer protect a chromosome as a cell splits, that cell no longer replicates. Those stuck cells become senescent cells, which contribute to aging and age-related disease. HBOT treatments can lengthen telomeres and reduce the percentage of senescent cells in the body, according to a study published last month from Tel Aviv University. The Holy Grail of aging is telomeres and senescent cells, said Dr. Shai Efrati, principal investigator on the study and director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at Shamir Medical Center in Israel. If we want to reverse biological aging, we have to lengthen telomeres. In the small study, healthy adults age 64 and older participated in 60 HBOT sessions. Researchers compared blood samples from 26 participants taken before and after treatment and found telomeres on chromosomes grew longer instead of shorter and the percentage of senescent cells in the overall cell population was reduced. .............

16.01.2022 *US VETERANS ONLY FREE TREATMENT BELOW * AUSTRALIA VETERANS - YOUR COUNTRY IS TURNING ITS BACK We (MY WIFE AND I ) are fighting here for your right with DVA, to receive the best treatments available,we have show cased and created a precedent in the government, but implementation of treatment for veterans, the public , everyone is difficult and long with minimal support. We have political and public and medical support, but we need YOUR HELP. ... NO chambers means no treatment FOR EVERYONE There are over 4400 External Support organisations, for veterans, they do a phenomenal job, but no support. The US have 1200 private centres and public government approval , we in Australia have 3-5 private centres and public hospital in each capital city. For a country the size of the US, its disgraceful. ESOs where are you, help us ..... we have the facilities at PRO PATRIA Wagga ,to make this a vailable to 10000s, ...... Help us ..... be part of leading the change

09.01.2022 More evidence.. HBOT and Dementia HBOT and Dementia At the end of the 2020 ... three-month study, the results showed improvements in attention and cognitive processing speeds possibly as a function of increased blood flow to the brain. Amir Hadanny, Chief Medical Research Officer and co-author of the study explains: In past research, we had observed HBOT’s ability to treat acute insults to the brain in stroke patients, traumatic brain injury, fibromyalgia even PTSD, we were able to treat injured brains and help regenerate tissue and recover function. This study was entirely different. We saw that in healthy adults, without a specific injury or insult to the brain, we could regenerate brain cells and blood vessels and improve cerebral blood flow. Improved blood flow means red blood cells can bring more oxygen to previously underserved areas of the brain that stagnate with age. This enabled our healthy patients to actually improve their cognitive function. More specifically, HBOT induced significant enhancements in cognitive performance in the domains of attention, information processing speed, and executive function (shifting between activities) in addition to global cognitive function or general awareness and acuity. These data suggest that HBOT can actually improve cognitive abilities in healthy adults beyond what is considered normal at a given age. Researchers observed that participants’ significant improvement in cognitive testing correlated with significant functional improvement as seen in the MRI in the brain tissue regions responsible for these functions. These improvements were a result of brain tissue regeneration from the HBOT group’s daily HBOT treatments. Efrati even suggests that the efficacy of HBOT may turn the clock back to an earlier time. #hbot #hbotaustralia #bradfewson #vetsweforget #carershaveright #royalcommission #DVA #TBI #CTE #MSA #Parkinson #veterans #hbot #hbotaustralia #bradfewson #vetsweforget #carershaveright #royalcommission #DVA #TBI #CTE #MSA #Parkinson #veterans
09.01.2022 The coverup and denial of treatment The problem is not whether hyperbaric oxygen is effective for treating brain injuries, but why the interference in offering this therapy to those who need it. The problem is not the treatment, the problem is the government and big pharma.... Note this is 2014 US article. Everything has now been clinically proven with 100s of studies. The article shows what is happening here in AUSTRALIA. CORRUPTION, CRIME, DECEPTION TO CONTROL A INDUSTRY, AS ITS NOT IN A PILL Abstract Background The modern age of hyperbaric medicine began in 1937; however, today few know about hyperbaric oxygen’s effects on the body and medical conditions outside of diving medicine and wound care centers - a serious ethical issue as there are 20 US military veterans committing suicide every day directly related to Traumatic Brain Injury/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The problem is not whether hyperbaric oxygen is effective for treating brain injuries, but why the interference in offering this therapy to those who need it. Discussion Up against black-boxed anti-depressants that are not efficacious, it should be a no-brainer to use a safe, off-label drug, but in the case of military veterans, every suicide might be seen as a tremendous cost saving to certain technocrats. The unspoken rationale is that if the military were to embrace hyperbaric oxygen as the efficacious therapy that it is then current active troops that have suffered injuries will come forward and seek treatment and benefits for their Traumatic Brain Injuries now that they know there is a viable therapy and in so doing troop strength will be decimated. So, to attempt to delay the acceptance of hyperbaric oxygen the Department of Defense has funded faux-studies claiming low pressure room air to be a placebo or sham, and then proclaiming there is no statistical difference between treatment arms and sham or placebo treatment arms. With few who understand hyperbaric medicine there is almost no one to call them on this subterfuge and prevarication. Many peer-reviewed articles have been published in the last decade that demonstrate hyperbaric oxygen is effective in repairing an injured brain even long after that injury took place. One of the most notable showed that blast-induced brain injured war veterans experienced a 15 point IQ increase (p < 0.001). Summary Hyperbaric oxygen is an efficacious, benign and humanitarian way to affect brain repair but it has not been adopted because it lacks patent protection and has no large corporate sponsors. It has also met interference because other agendas are present be they the protection of the status quo, myopic budgetary constraints, or perceived liability issues. https://medicalgasresearch.biomedcentral.com//s13618-015-0
08.01.2022 Again and again , more and more evidence. The government in Australia is trying to control the whole industry. This a deliberate effort to deny everyone The Basic human right to medical treatment. But all that research is overseas and doesn’t count in Australia and according to the departments unknown advisors , that dont produce any evidence , it is dangerous to my health. What is dangerous is our government not giving treatment that keeps me alive.... All approved and accepted and precedent made, but they choose not to. Regardless of doctors, specialist and report. NO...JUST NO. Your GPS problem?? No validity or evidence to support there refusal to provide treatment. Spread the information, the amount of ground breaking medical science now, from Cannabis, mushrooms, HBOT, Light therapy etc etc is amazing. Natural and safe. .

03.01.2022 Have your say The Australian National Audit Office : AUDIT ON DVA... The objective of this audit is to examine the effectiveness of planning and management of the Veteran Centric Reforms program by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). Thats programs policy, administration etc. The ANAO welcomes members of the public contributing information for consideration when conducting performance audits. Performance audits involve the independent and objective assessment of the administration of an entity or body’s programs, policies, projects or activities. They also examine how well administrative support systems operate. The ANAO does not have a role in commenting on the merits of government policy but focuses on assessing the efficient and effective implementation of government programs, including the achievement of their intended benefits. The audit is currently collecting audit evidence and is seeking input from members of the public. We particularly value information that deals with significant matters or insights into the administration of the subject of this audit The ANAO proposes to examine: Has DVA planning for veteran-centric reform been effective? Has DVA established fit for purpose arrangements for implementing the Veteran Centric Reforms program? Is DVA appropriately monitoring, evaluating and reporting on the implementation of reform measures? https://www.anao.gov.au//performa/veteran-centric-reforms
03.01.2022 Can You Heal from TBI and CTE https://tbitherapy.com/cte-tbi-treatment/ Summary for quick read or full article and references below... Summary Rest, heal, treatment,oxygen, nutrients....or it dies For every TBI or CTE patient with or without symptoms, at a cellular level, they are deficient in the resources, oxygen and nutrients, to provide enough energy to function as well as to heal the brain. Hence, it makes since that providing oxygen, through pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and nourishment from autologous plasma dripped directly into the brain through the upper part of the nose can help traumatic brain injury patients as well as potentially prevent CTE. However, once a TBI patient has progressed to the degenerative state of CTE, it can be much harder to restore the neurons to a more functional state. By Dr. John Hughes, DO As a TBI treatment specialist, I see a variety of patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from military blast events, professional and high school sports, motor vehicle accidents, blunt traumas, or other causes. These patients almost always have some degree of mild to severe chronic post-concussive symptoms including mental fatigue, loss of concentration, memory loss, loss of decision-making, loss of motivation, insomnia, loss of libido, depression, anger, and even suicide ideation. These patients come to my clinic, TBI Therapy, with numerous questions about whether they can actually heal from their traumatic brain injury and if it may eventually progress to CTE in their later years. What is CTE? Boston University of Medicine researchers define it: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma (often athletes) The repeated brain trauma triggers progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau. These changes in the brain can begin months, years, or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement (Boston University Research). Ultimately, if TBI patients do not receive effective treatment, their TBI may eventually progress to become CTE in which their post-concussive symptoms actually become more permanent and pronounced, primarily, per the current medical theory, due to the build of tau proteins. What are Tau Proteins? Tau proteins are intracellular proteins of neurons that support microtubules, hollow fibrous tubes that give structure to the cell. Tau proteins in proper numbers are essential and normal in everyone’s brain. However, when patients have untreated or poorly treated concussions or more severe TBIs, these proteins tend to hyperaccumulate in the cells and block neuronal signaling, particularly along axonal pathways, leading the symptoms associated with CTE, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s. When these Tau proteins hyperaccumulate in cells, they begin to act a lot like scar tissue that occurs after sports injuries or surgeries in skin, ligaments, tendons, and even joints. The scar tissue inside tendons and ligaments is also fibrous tissue called fibrosis. When viewed under a microscope, the fibrotic scar tissue looks a lot like disorganized calcified spider webs in comparison to the normal longitudinal patterns of collagen healthy tendons and ligaments. This scar tissue, operating in a similar way to Tau proteins, hyper-accumulates and ultimately ends up trapping nerve fibers and blocking nerve transmission. Treatment for this fibrosis in tendons and ligaments requires an injection of autologous human plasma (aka platelet rich plasma from the same patient), which is rich in growth factors as well as anti-fibrotic factors, and oxygen to help restore the tissue to a healthy state. Tau immunostained sections of medial temporal lobe from 3 individuals: The Tau stains are brown. It is theorized that treating TBI patients with oxygen, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and plasma rich in growth and anti-fibrotic factors may also prevent Tau protein accumulation associated with CTE. In the same way that scar tissue forms in tissues due to lack of oxygen and nourishment, this rationale explains why Tau proteins develop in the neurons of the brain. For every TBI or CTE patient with or without symptoms, at a cellular level, they are deficient in the resources, oxygen and nutrients, to provide enough energy to function as well as to heal the brain. Hence, it makes since that providing oxygen, through pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and nourishment from autologous plasma dripped directly into the brain through the upper part of the nose can help traumatic brain injury patients as well as potentially prevent CTE. However, once a TBI patient has progressed to the degenerative state of CTE, it can be much harder to restore the neurons to a more functional state.
