Today she can, and is now a spokesman for the Stroke Association.\n<\/div>\n<div>\nHyperbaric oxygen therapy has also been shown to help with chemotherapy, infection, radiation therapy effects, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, emphysema, asthma, ADHD, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiac disease, migraine headaches, vertigo, early dementia, vision loss, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and of course traumatic brain injury and PTSD.<br \/>\nWilliam S.
