New Investigative Spotlight: Hyperbaric Hospital — Boston
We just came across a powerful investigative piece by L.A. City Films that’s sparking major conversation in the hyperbaric community. The report documents 16 years of research and evidence showing how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — especially for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and PTSD — has been systematically obstructed within major U.S. institutions, including the Department of Defense and the VA.

According to the article, Dr. Paul G. Harch and other researchers have gathered peer-reviewed data and patient outcomes that support HBOT’s effectiveness in healing neurological injuries — yet access to this therapy remains limited for the very populations that need it most.

Key points raised:
• The report argues that evidence exists — but institutional barriers delay or block adoption.
Medium
• It highlights the need for a true Hyperbaric Hospital in Boston — partnered with Harvard Medical School — to scale evidence-based HBOT and ensure it’s available to veterans and civilians alike.
Medium
• The piece frames this as both a medical and moral issue, not just a scientific debate.

🗣 Let’s talk about it:
🔹 What do you think about the claim that HBOT is being “blocked”?
🔹 Should there be more access to hyperbaric care for conditions like TBI and PTSD?
🔹 What barriers have you encountered in advocating for or accessing HBOT?
