And that bought chambers and microscopes and electrophysiology equipment.

It allowed me to tinker in the lab.

And in the process of tinkering, we just had some serendipitous discoveries with the cancer things and then just fundamental effects that happen in cells under high pressure oxygen emissions.

nitrogen, helium, different gases.

Very basic.

So the Office of Navy Research has a 6.1 program, and that's basic science, and then 6.2, 6.3.

And as I progressed in my career, I started working up from a cell-based system to animal models.

Then it went to a pig model system.

Now, essentially, we're doing the rat studies at Duke with human subjects that get inside a chamber.

We get diaphragmatic, we get EEG, we have a line going into their arm that goes to like a mass spec to get blood gases, to do metabolomics.

They're working a simulator, a flight simulator, they're exercising.

It's water out immersion, so their body's underwater, but you get the

hypovolemic effect of the fluid shift and things like that to simulate that dive.

And then we push them to a seizure, believe it or not.

So this got approved through an IRB, which is even more amazing than the Cahill study.

But we pushed them to an EEG seizure to where we can see the seizure and then we decompress.

So we look at latency to seizure under ketosis, dietary ketosis or supplemental ketosis or the combination.

So those clinical trials, I'm co-investigator on it because it's being done at Duke.

They're registered clinical trials on clinicaltrial.gov.

And these are being funded by the DOD?
