Honoring Our Heroes: Advanced Care for Veterans at Environmental Brain Health Clinics of America
Why We Created This Military Veterans Program
You served. You sacrificed. Your dedication allowed us to study and innovate without fear of harm from hostile forces. Now, it’s our turn to serve you. At Environmental Brain Health Clinics of America, we are committed to helping those who suffer from chronic diseases and symptoms often caused by undiagnosed inflammation.
It's your turn to be understood, helped, healed, and thanked.
Our team has developed a state-of-the-art evaluation process to accurately assess the physical and emotional impact of your experiences, ensuring you receive the comprehensive care you deserve, and are conducting extensive research towards the US Military Veteran Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Study.
Our Mission
We recognize that the environments in which military personnel serve can pose significant health risks that are often unmonitored and untreated, which we believe constitutes a national security concern. Our esteemed team has advocated for better recognition and treatment of these risks to political and military leaders in Washington, D.C.
Understanding the Impact
Biotoxins, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and Emotional Trauma:
These elements each have the potential to debilitate, but combined, they can profoundly affect a person's life. The synergistic effect of impact injuries, mold and biotoxin exposure, chemical exposure, and traumatic stress can lead to severe health issues. This combination can disrupt various body systems, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
Just a few of the associated consequences are listed below:
-
Depression
-
Overwhelming anxiety
-
Isolation
-
Increased relationship conflict
-
Brain fog
-
Memory impairment
-
Fatigue
-
Addiction
-
Employment conflicts
-
Loss of productivity
-
Multiple new health issues start stacking up
-
Multiple medications may be required for all the new diagnoses
-
Homelessness
-
Suicide
What Are Biotoxins?
Biotoxins, such as mold or related bacteria, are naturally occurring organisms that become hazardous in concentrated indoor environments. Many military personnel have been exposed to these in water-damaged buildings, older structures, and various high-humidity locations.
Consider your service locations – training facilities, barracks, base housing, and government buildings. If you have chronic health symptoms, it may be time to evaluate whether past biotoxin exposures are still affecting you, especially when combined with head injuries or traumatic stress from your service.
Our Comprehensive Evaluation
Holistic Approach:
-
Immunological Response: We measure your body’s reaction to biotoxins, recognizing that the immune response can persist long after the exposure.
-
Changes To Brain Structure and Brain Function: We assess changes due to biotoxins, impact injuries, and traumatic stress.
-
Nervous System Balance: We evaluate how traumatic events and biotoxin exposures affect your nervous system.
-
Systemic Impact: Using a Systems Biology approach, we identify the effects of toxins and trauma on other organs and body systems.
-
Comprehensive Reporting: We provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report that connects these factors to your daily life and health challenges.
