Healing Heroes Network – Thanking the Real Heroes of America




The Government of the United States of America has deployed thousands of troops in the territory of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Government deems these two countries as terrorists’ hubs which are a potential threat to the security of the States and which are capable of another attack like the one in September, 2001, popularly known as 9/11. The troops have been deployed to keep a check on the terrorist activities and movements and take necessary actions to counter them whenever necessary. These soldiers put their lives on line and go through a lot of sufferings to safeguard their nation and its residents. These sufferings include both physical as well as mental trauma and it affects the overall lives of these troops. The government of the United States has set up a special Department of Veterans Affairs for these troops. The work of the department is to look into the needs and requirements including of these troops which include healthcare and other medical facilities. But the scope of the services is very limited due to a large number of soldiers and different locations which are very difficult to access.And many a times, these services by the Department are completely unavailable.

This is where the Healing Heroes Network comes into play. The Non-Profit Organization, which was founded in the year 2008 by Dr. Allan Spiegel and his wife Stacey Spiegel, collects funds and donations from various general people and use these funds to help these soldiers, who are termed as the ‘National Heroes’ by the organization. Besides providing monetary and financial assistance, the organization also provides some very important therapies as well as services for injuries which include Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because HBOT is used off-label but is not an official treatment for PTSD and TBI that are not currently provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs of the Government of United States of America. Hence, the organization pays its tribute to the heroes of the nation by helping them recover from their problems and sufferings which they attained while fighting for the nation.

The organization through its venture also provides the general public to come forward and take a step towards helping these troops who sacrificed all their lives only to safeguard and secure their sovereignty and freedom and by donating money to the organization, the general public can thank the troops for their services. Hence, Healing Heroes Network is one of the best organization through which the real heroes are thanked for their efforts.
