Eddie Zant, MD
From The Journal of the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society: In January 2010, a peer-reviewed journal published a case series report regarding two brain-injured airmen who were casualties of an IED in Iraq. Both were going to be medically boarded out of the service. Their military physician prescribed Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT 1.5TM ). Both of them recovered and they were both retained on active duty. The case series report is authored by Colonel James Wright, M.D., at Hurlburt Field in Florida (720th Special Tactics Group); plus Eddie Zant, M.D., treating physician; and Robert E. Schlegel, PhD, PE, the developer of the DoD's ANAM neuropsychological testing battery. Colonel Wright had previously directed all Air Force Aerospace and Hyperbaric Medicine Research at Brooks City Base in Texas. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is FDA-approved for many kinds of non-healing wounds and is the only FDA-approved non-hormonal treatment for the repair and regeneration of human tissue. It causes a biological repair to tissue damaged by a lack of oxygen or compromised circulation and signals DNA to begin the healing process. Click below to see complete article.
