Expanding Veterans' Access to Breakthrough Treatments
Every day, an average of 17 veterans take their own lives. These are men and women who survived combat, yet lost a quieter and longer war against the invisible wounds they carried with them. We owe it to these heroes to do absolutely everything in our power to help those who are struggling with mental health and substance addictions.
Mounting evidence shows that neuroplastogen treatments like ibogaine can provide a durable path to healing where traditional medicine has failed. Unlike traditional treatments that manage symptoms, ibogaine appears to work at a deeper level, stimulating the brain's own repair mechanisms and encouraging the growth of new neural connections that can bypass the damaged pathways underlying PTSD, depression, brain injuries, and addiction.
This week, I sent a letter to President Trump — along with Congressman Morgan Luttrell, a former Navy SEAL — urging him to expand access to this life-saving treatment for our nation's veterans. I will always fight for those who fought for our country.
