Harch Hyperbarics for Traumatic Brain Injury WGNO

Harch Hyperbarics for Traumatic Brain Injury WGNO ABC26

Injuries suffered in two separate roadside-bomb explosions in a span of two months in Iraq in early 2008 left Tim Hecker with a traumatic brain injury and severe post-traumatic stress. He was no longer the man Tina had married.

Frustrated with her husband’s descent and the lack of progress with traditional care, Tina went online and found information about Dr. Paul Harch, a New Orleans-based physician specializing in hyperbaric medicine. His facility, Harch Hyperbarics Family Physicians’ Center, uses high-pressure oxygen to treat basic pathophysiologic conditions.

Following a phone call and an initial interview, Tim was selected to be part of Harch’s pilot study on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for TBI and PTS. He claims the treatments have given him back most of his pre-injury life.

BRAIN STORM: NCIS, A True Story | Best Short Film WINNER in the Los Angeles Cinema Festival | INDEPENDENCE DAY 2012


This is an L.A. City Films Production

BRAIN STORM: NCIS, A True Story ( 9 Min ) : A Short Film exploring the application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on wounded war fighters suffering from blast induced Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) during combat operations in Iraq/Afghanistan. LtCol Al Burghard, USMC, retired, shares his story for the advancement of Dr. Harch’s hyperbaric medicine research.

To date, there are no FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of chronic traumatic brain injury. The current standard of care for brain injured military veterans is the off-label prescribing of psychoactive medications blackbox labeled by the FDA for increased suicidality. These medications have been implicated in the 18 veteran suicides per day epidemic.

At the same time, conventional medicine has no suitable alternative treatment. The medical research of Dr. Paul G. Harch, MD, however, strongly suggests that there is an effective treatment. That treatment is hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the simple daily intermittent exposure to increased pressures of oxygen. Dr. Harch’s research is showing that HBOT 1.5 ATA can improve brain blood flow, metabolism, neurological function, and give patients back their lives.

Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery – Astounding Results Made After HBOT

Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery – Astounding Results Made After HBOT
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) corrects brain-injury.

Curt Allen was treated with pharmaceutical grade hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) in a hard shell chamber at Family Physicians’ Center which is a fully staffed professional MEDICAL OFFICE. Anyone seeking HBOT should see an experienced HBOT MD who has training in treating neurological disorders. HBOT, oxygen under pressure acts as a drug to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels into the damaged tissue of the brain. Dr Harch developed & refined the neurological protocols. btw Curt is doing great!

HDNET Part 2 Dr Harch treats Veterans with TBI PTSD

HDNET Part 2 Dr Harch treats Veterans with TBI PTSD

Promising Treatment for Soldiers With Traumatic Brain Injuries and/or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder TBI/PTSD

An excerpt from the HDNet World Report website 4/13/2010
On tonight’s “HDNet World Report” correspondent Carol McKinley travels to Louisiana to investigate what may be a big breakthrough in treating the estimated 320,000 veterans returning from war with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — that treatment is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBOT.

During the HBOT treatment, patients are exposed to pure oxygen, one hour at a time, in an airtight chamber.

The man behind this new therapy is Dr. Paul Harch, who has been treating soldiers at his clinic outside of New Orleans with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

“What is theorized is that there are damaged brain cells that aren’t yet dead, they are disabled,” Harch tells McKinley. “It’s like a car that’s broken and can only go in first gear, somehow it [the oxygen] is restoring energy metabolism capability to cells.”

“I was definitely skeptical,” said Margaux Mange, a former MP who served in Iraq and is now being treated with H-BOT. “I mean I’ve been through brain surgery. Oxygen? I was like…how’s that gonna help? But I’m a believer!”
