Description
PULITZER PRIZE-NOMINATED | VETERANS DAY 2025 RELEASE
“It's not a mental illness. It's a combat injury.”
That single distinction changes everything.
For decades, we've told our warriors their suffering is a “disorder”—an incurable condition requiring lifetime pharmaceuticals and talk therapy. We were wrong.
Silent Scars, Bold Remedies shatters everything you thought you knew about combat trauma. Scientist, former Army Ranger and civilian special-operations soldier, and New York Times bestselling author Dino Garner, together with co-author Liz Fetter, delivers a revolutionary truth the military and medical establishment have overlooked: What servicemembers endure is Post-Traumatic Stress INJURY (PTSX)—a physiological wound sustained in the line of duty that, like any physical wound, can heal.
The Game-Changing Reframe: This isn't semantic wordplay. Reframing “Disorder” to “Injury” dismantles the stigma that has kept hundreds of thousands from seeking care, transforming shame into recognition and hopelessness into action. It's the first step toward true recovery.
Beyond Pills and Talk Therapy: The Bold Remedies are literal game-changers. This book unveils cutting-edge, often non-traditional pharmacological interventions that address trauma at its molecular source:
• Advanced breathing protocols that regulate the autonomic nervous system
• Neuromodulation techniques like stellate ganglion blocks and dual sympathetic resets
• Specialized physiological approaches that restore nervous system function
These aren't experimental theories. They're evidence-based treatments already transforming lives—treatments most clinicians have never heard of.
From Surviving to Thriving: Through powerful first-person accounts, witness servicemembers who haven't just managed trauma—they've achieved Post-Traumatic Growth, emerging with renewed purpose and meaning. These stories prove what's possible when we stop managing symptoms and start healing injuries.
For readers of The Body Keeps the Score and Tribe, this is the next essential chapter.
Released on Veterans Day 2025, Silent Scars, Bold Remedies offers veterans, first responders, healthcare providers, and families more than theory—it offers a battle-tested map back to wholeness. A book that will save lives, restore families, and fundamentally change how America cares for those who've served.
This isn't just another book about Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries. This is a book about moving past the old notion of PTSD and physically healing at the molecular level.

Advance Praise
This book is nothing short of a scientific and medical masterpiece. "Silent Scars, Bold Remedies" by Dino Garner and Liz Fetter is one of the most comprehensive, deeply researched, and profoundly hopeful books ever written on the subject of trauma.
At over 1,000 pages, it leaves no stone unturned, masterfully weaving together cutting-edge science, practical protocols, and powerful human stories.
Unlike any other popular or mainstream book, it contains 130 pages of hundreds of first rate references: books, review articles, and scientific/medical articles, all dated in the past few years. What’s more, each reference has a SUMMARY so you can immediately know what it’s about. And the word SUMMARY is conveniently in BOLD letters. Wow!
The Index is also very comprehensive, perhaps even too much.
What makes this book a true five-star achievement is its compassionate and revolutionary reframing of post-traumatic stress from a lifelong psychiatric "disorder" to a treatable physical "injury." The authors are keen to tell us that PTSX (their acronym) isn’t just “all in your head” nor is the “pill for every ill” an accurate statement. They build up the story from page one to one thousand, slowly showing us how all these mental illnesses have a MOLECULAR BASIS. It’s a magnificent journey of a thousand pages!
The writing is smart, gentle and accessible. This simple but profound shift in perspective dismantles stigma and opens the door to real, tangible healing. The "Bold Remedies" sections alone are worth the price of admission, moving far beyond talk therapy and pharmaceuticals to detail actionable, non-pharmacological solutions—like advanced breathing protocols and neuromodulation—that can heal the nervous system at its molecular source.
They discuss Dr. Eugene Lipov and his pioneering STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK and DUAL SYMPATHETIC RESET therapies; the latest developments (as of late-2025) in MDMA, Psilocybin, Marijuana, and Ketamine therapies; studies in the molecular biology of traumatic brain injuries; etc.
Near the end, the authors invite all healthcare providers to join together and come up to speed on biophysics, neurochemistry, molecular biology, etc. so they can best treat anyone with post traumatic injuries.
The authors have created an essential guide, manual and encyclopedia and bible for veterans, first responders, or anyone living with the invisible wounds of trauma. But its message of resilience and post-traumatic growth is universal.
This isn't just a book you read once but rather a manual for life. Everyone should have a copy on their nightstand. Reading even a few pages every day provides a powerful dose of hope and practical wisdom that can guide anyone on a path to becoming whole again.
