S.O.S. Program - "Save Our Soldiers"

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been garnering more and more attention in the last few years.  The reason is simple; HBOT is proving to be an incredibly safe and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions such as autism, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, serious burns, Cerebral Palsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, migraines, Parkinson’s to name just a few.

In fact, currently there are approximately 66 different medical conditions where HBOT is being used for treatment. And one of the most serious conditions is showing some of the most significant results: TBI (traumatic brain injury).

The results of HBOT treatment for TBI has become so compelling that beginning in January, Ft. Carson will be one of five military bases participating in an 18 month study of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for TBI soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered a TBI injury.  It is a tremendously important study that is being conducted under strict scientific guidelines.  I believe the results will open the floodgates to widespread HBOT use by validating this therapy as a truly effective treatment option.

It is estimated that Ft. Carson alone has some 8,500 soldiers who have suffered a TBI over the years of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.  Unfortunately, this study will only offer treatment to a tiny fraction of the Ft. Carson soldiers who could be helped by this wonderful therapy.

Why the SOS Program ?

Giving Back to our Soldiers:

We’d like to give something back to our Ft. Carson soldiers who have sacrificed so much for us.  So we’re introducing our SOS (Save Our Soldiers) corporate program.  Here’s how it works;

1. For a monthly membership fee of $50.00 all employees of your company will be entitled to purchase HBOT sessions for the same $50.00 pricing of our consumer program (but without the individual $24.95 monthly membership fee).
2. In addition, each month PPH will take that $50.00 fee and turn it into a credit for one HBOT session.
3. PPH will match that session and donate a second free session.

These free sessions will be put into an account for a Ft. Carson soldier who needs HBOT treatment but is not part of the upcoming study and can’t afford private treatment.

 
The typical protocol for HBOT treatment for TBI is an initial 40-session regime.  So the goal is to accumulate 40 free sessions, sponsor a soldier in need and then follow his/her progress through the course of their treatment.

For every 20 companies that participate in our SOS program we can sponsor and begin treatment for one soldier each month (20 sessions donated by corporations, matched by 20 sessions donated by PPH for a 40 session regime).
