Awareness of concussion in military members, football players and other athletes has reached an all-time high. Revolutionary emerging technologies will change neurological recovery forever. The operative term here is the recoverable brain. Our brains are designed to learn all throughout our life, and injured brain cells may heal, given the proper support. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the first therapy that has been demonstrated to heal brain injury.

The extensive research of Dr. Paul Harch covers the basic science of healing with HBOT, animal research and human research. His work has been submitted to the FDA, confirming the effectiveness. There has been more research on HBOT than on any drug or device ever approved by the FDA. Harch’s textbook, The Oxygen Revolution, outlines his years of research and experience in treating brain injury, and the third edition has just been published.

Those who believe they have had a concussion should get evaluated.
