Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Andrew Cavanaugh, a combat Marine turned inventor who built the world's first Multi-Modality Recovery Sauna after his own health collapsed and the system had nothing real to offer him.
Andrew breaks down why the PTSD diagnosis is a lie that destroys the men it's supposed to help, how grounding alone reduced blood viscosity by 270% in clinical studies, and why stacking infrared, earthing, and halo therapy into one unit attacks the root and not just the symptom.
If you've ever felt like the system failed you or someone you love, this one hits different. Don't skip it.
