About: TreatNOW Mission -- Identify and treat veterans and others suffering from Concussion/TBI/PTSD -- TreatNOW Goal -- Ensure that over 870,000 Iraq and Afghanistan brain injured veterans and active duty service members, along with all citizens, get insured access to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for their Invisible Wounds. The TreatNOW Coalition is supported by numerous clinics and physicians worldwide. The Coalition has built a collaborative network among 150+ civilian Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)-capable clinics which have, on a largely pro bono basis, successfully treated over 31,000 TBI/PTSD patients, including over 12,000 Veteran and casualties. Using HBOT and a variety of safe and effective, alternative therapies, clinicians are actively treating and helping to heal underlying brain wounds that are ignored with current, passive 'watchful waiting' and drug-based Concussion protocols. And patients are able to quit taking most of their drugs. HBOT is proven to virtually eliminate thoughts of suicidal ideation.
