But yeah, there's a problem with the studies that have been done because the DOD funded a study where they did hyperbaric oxygen and the control was hyperbaric air.
So hyperbaric oxygen is 100% oxygen.
You know, it increased.
Yeah.
So the control was just hyperbaric pressure.
And then both groups got benefits.
There's a lot of muddy waters.
So the DOD wants to put a nail in this coffin.
So they actually funded this.
my university, University of South Florida, we have six beautiful chambers in a facility that's run by the neurosurgery and neuroscience department.
And my friend, Dr. Joe Duturi, runs the facility there, which is putting a nail in this coffin.
So they have subjects with PTSD and also subjects with brain injury, but it's more of a PTSD trial.
And they have
A sham.
The sham is that they pulse the pressure during the initial compression to make you think like you're undergoing pressure, but keep it at one atmosphere.
And at the end with the decompress, they pulse it so you feel a little bit.
Well, it's brain injury, PTSD.
So it's just answering that question because PTSD is such a huge problem for one thing, as is brain injuries, but they kind of across the board, they're treating these chambers.
Six chambers are active from morning till night.
So it's a $30 million project that has all the right controls, all the people involved and multiple institutes are sort of collaborating, but the central location is, yeah, it's ongoing.
