Oxygendeprivation:Near–Drowning,HypoxiaandAnoxia

Oxygen deprivation: Near – Drowning, Hypoxia and Anoxia
08.08.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
Oxygen is the most critical molecule for our continued health and well
being. A few minutes without oxygen is devastating for your cellular health.
Serious oxygen deprivation may take place if someone has survived near –
drowning, a massive cardiac arrest requiring CPR or near – hanging for
example. Is there a way back ? What is the emergency treatment ?

Blast Injury: the gift that keeps on giving. Veterans who have been deployed have virtually all experienced blast injury. A blast “rips” through your brain in 3 msec, causing diffuse injury and dysfunction. It is most likely that anyone who
experiences one blast injury experiences more than one blast injury, injuring an already injured brain. Blast injury is the gift that keeps on giving: in combination with other injuries that deployed military members experience, the injury contributes to neurodegenerative symptoms. Other traumatic injuries, toxic exposures, neuroendocrine dysfunction, hypoxia from
sleep apnea and other pathological processes worsen a brain injury condition.

Alzheimer’s in Military Veterans
24.07.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
Is Alzheimer’s dementia an unavoidable consequence of aging, or is it a treatable condition ? Statistically a higher
percentage of military veterans, first responders and professional athletes will be diagnosed with “Alzheimer’s Disease”
and at a younger age than the rest of the population. What is driving this trend ?

Low T
14.07.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
After more than 20 years of evaluating veterans and first responders, I
have rarely seen a man with Testosterone (T) levels that are consistent with
his age: most men had very low levels. Low T interferes with brain
health, whole body health, belly fat, emotions, sleep, sex drive and the
ability to reproduce. How did this problem get so bad ?

Memory chip: Are implantable chips safe and effective for veterans ?
30.06.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
Veterans have asked if it is safe to have a memory chip implanted and if it
will help to restore their memory. This is a complex issue. Memory
problems are due to brain injury. There are a limited number of ways that
the brain can be injured: trauma, infection, inflammation, hypoxia / anoxia,
poisoning, nutritional deficiency and genetic mutation. The brain can heal
from these injuries to an extent, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
helps.

Veterans ask, Why Can’t I Sleep ?
18.05.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
One of the biggest complaints combat veterans come to the clinic with is that they cannot sleep at night and therefore they never feel refreshed or restored. It is hard for them to fall asleep, stay asleep and sometimes wake up early in the morning without being able to return to sleep. They don’t dream. Other sleep disorders are common. Why is this happening ? Even with lots of alcohol, muscle relaxers, sedatives, supplements and sleep medicines their sleep is not restored.
Sedation is not sleep!
The Recoverable Brain
08.05.2025
Dr. Carol Henricks
Dr. Richard Neubauer coined the term “the recoverable brain” in 1996 when he was treating stroke patients in a hyperbaric chamber. He was referring to the ischemic penumbra, the injured area around the core stroke area that could recover and be made healthy again by improving cellular health with the extra oxygen provided by hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT).
