"At the Department of War, we have the most elite warriors on the face of the Earth. . . .We must constantly look for new ways to optimize your performance, your resilience and your long-term health. . . . This initiative, it’s not about artificial enhancement. . . . It’s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, and ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight.. . . . We owe our warriors the absolute best medical care in the world. And this program delivers on that obligation. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
The Secretary of War has done a terrific service to America’s Warriors. The new mandatory Pentagon testing of testosterone levels, whatever the medical merits, sets the stage for a long-recommended test now made possible by another medical device. This could lead to a life-altering breakthrough for Veterans and active duty forces hammered by Blasts for decades, and continuing even today.
Alternative therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy are already proven to support sustained performance, resilience, and long term health for those living and working in demanding environments. DoW and the VA can usefully open themselves to what the Israeli Defense Force already knows. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, along with other alternatives is available to the IDF through the Israeli Ministry of Defense Rehabilitation Department and to Israeli citizens with similar diagnoses. This capability in Israel has led to a service member suicide rate ten times lower than in the U.S. where over 163,000 Veterans have succumbed to suicide since 9/11.

American History has been described as constant war, punctuated by periods of peace. Depending on your count, America has been involved in 85 “wars” since 1776. Practically every year in our 250 year history had American service members in harm’s way, frequently in multiple areas of the world. Whether fighting Indians or Iranians; whether alone or in alliances; whether defending direct American interests, or the sovereignty of the oppressed, American service members have bled and died, doing their duty.
Memorial Day. We remember. An historical event, a looking back, a time of reverie and commitment to do better.

We are appealing to you to change the culture at the VA from one of “brain wounds are a mental health issue” to one of: “brain wounds like TBI/PTSD/PCS/BLAST/Concussion must be treated like a wound and healed using modern, proven, scientifically validated alternative therapies.” Brain wounds — TBI/PTSD/PCS/BLAST/Concussion — are wounds. They can be treated. The world outside the VA is treating them with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), doing the job your VA cannot and will not do.

This weekend at the 1st Annual Koterra Golf Classic, I had the incredible honor of receiving the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs Commander’s Award, presented by General James S. Hartsell, Executive Director of the FDVA. To have General Hartsell stand with us, acknowledge our impact, and affirm publicly that “HBOT heals ” was a moment of validation for every family, every volunteer, every donor, and every Veteran who has walked through our doors searching for hope.

Coaches routinely tell players: “Move your feet.” The VA and Politicians are fond of sending “Thoughts and Prayers” to wounded Veterans. It’s a good time for Veterans to pray, but don’t just stand there. Take charge. Don’t take useless advice. You can heal, but you have to Move Your Feet.

Veterans with brain wounds will talk about how much relief they get from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, particularly the ability to get off the drugs that seemingly made them worse, not better. This applies directly to the anti-depression drugs prescribed throughout the VA. But there are unintended consequences of the prescribing behavior in the VA that go unreported, even to the Veterans.
