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).

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!
