NEVER FORGET: VETERANS’ DAY 2026
VETERANS SUICIDES EXCEED 164,000 since 9/11, and neither the VA nor the DoD will tell Veterans a scientifically-validated, healing treatment exists for their brain wounds: TBI/PTSD/BLAST/Concussion
Twenty-five years of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and throughout the Middle East have cost American taxpayers over $8 trillion according to the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs at Brown University. 4.5 – 4.6 Million people have died as a direct result of fighting. (Brown COW).
The HOW Foundation, GruntStyle, America’s Mighty Warriors, the 22 Project, BurnPits360, the HUGS Project, KOTERRA, Stand for the Troops, HBOT4HEROES, over 195 clinics and their Foundations, and the TreatNOW Coalition remind us of other statistics that get lost too often.

Increased Likelihood of Suicide Among Veterans vs. all others
Congress, the VA and DoD can and must do better. We can arrest the suicide rate among all Americans. The Opioid and Substance Abuse epidemics can likewise be reversed if and when we accept what science and research and clinical/evidence-based medicine are telling us, all over the world. The use of Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT), together with other Alternate and other safe and effective therapies, are in use and available today. (Evidence)
