    • Keep continue fighting for the rights of human. We need to decrease the tax below to a lower or middle class to back up economic, and make it stand strongly. I wish all of the illness patience and elder patience will have a good care and good benefit for them for treatment, equality and none discrimination. Freedom speech, democracy and protect in safe. Human rights and freedom speech never had for Asian, Vietnamese, Africa, Indian and black America, special is in the workplace. November 25th; the date of human right but some places was not right for the human. It still had not protected women well. And some places still had discrimination. We need to fight for the human rights immediately and also protect women. Everyone must equality and freedom likely freedom speech. For the most of the Asian, Africa, black American. All of those people never had freedom speech in the workplace or in the public, special is a Vietnamese. Please put hand together, we fight for freedom for ever. Look at the living cost right now, if tax is increase again how the people’s at middle class or retirement, disabled can survey their life in home and how they can support their family during their earn income are very limit and tightness. Therefore increase tax is not good for everyone. Need to decrease and cut tax for the payer. Make us proud of you. God Bless BY: Christine Nguyen December 3, 2012

    • As an advocate for VETERANS returning from their war-torn rotations in Iraq and Afghanistan, let me remind you that there are hundreds and thousands of veterans with diagnosed, misdiagnosed, and unreported cases of PTSD and TBI. Veteran suicide rates are off the charts. Why? Because there has been no effective treatment for our wounded warriors with brain injury. Until now. Today, there is hope. Today there is promise of PTSD and TBI treatment with Oxygen. Originally popular with the U.S. Navy, SCUBA and commercial divers, HBOT has been researched, clinically tested, and published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Neurotrauma, Jan. 2012. http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/neu.2011.1895 HBOT stands for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. For PTSD and TBI, 40 treatments, under an M.D.'s prescribed care, can return a wounded, despondent soldier, back into a viable, productive, family (wo) man. In only six to eight weeks! So, why isn't this household news? In a word, “Politics”. “It’s too good to be true”. “Not enough research”. “We like things as they are...” It seems criminal to keep a safe, proven, tested, and documented treatment like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) hidden from the American people. HBOT saves lives. It has little to no side-effects (ear clearing, like on an airplane). HBOT is extremely cost effective and permanent in proper doses. The U.S. government knows this and is not embracing it. Rather, it appears to be blocking progress! Congressional bill, H.R. 396, known as “The TBI TREATMENT ACT” requires the CMS (Medicare) to reimburse doctors and clinics prescribing HBOT treatment for traumatic brain injury. It sits buried “in committee” -- in need of its own resuscitation! With medical fee reimbursement, legions of injured soldiers will find treatment right down the block. Patients will demonstrate increased vitality with improved cognition scores. HBOT treatment will lower stress, reduce anxiety, alleviate depression and curtail insomnia. It's all good. (Just not for Big Pharma). You see, Oxygen is not patentable. It is a gas. # 8 on the periodic table. It has no profit motive. Oxygen is an extraordinary healing tool, applied under pressure, as a drug, that performs true "miracles of medicine". I urge you to help our cause. Set the scales on balance. Improve the lives of those that fought for our freedom. Help cut through the clutter of back door politics. Our website, www.HBOT.com provides you the tools in which to learn more. Thank you and happy holiday wishes.
