recently found the podcast after I think you guys followed my IG. After listening to several episodes, I have so much hope and I just wanted to thank you guys for putting this information out there. I’ve been a paramedic for 10 years and I had no idea HBOT can treat PTSD, TBI, etc. I was familiar with it because of burn and crush patients. I recently was connected with SOC-F and subsequently the Warrior Health Foundation. I’m signed up and awaiting dates for TBI rehab. My private healthcare docs have been utterly lost on how to treat me and I can’t say enough how much hope I have now knowing I may get my memories back, get rid of the baseline anger and deep down rage. I owe it to my wife and kids to pursue this. Once again, thank you so much. I’ve been sharing the podcast to everyone who will listen! -Joshua Skovlund
