TWO-TIME PULITZER PRIZE NOMINEE | RELEASE DATE: CHRISTMAS DAY 2025
“It’s not a mental illness. It’s a combat injury.” That single distinction changes everything. For decades, we have told our warriors that their suffering is a “disorder”—an incurable condition to be managed with a lifetime of pharmaceuticals. We were wrong.
In Silent Scars, Bold Remedies, scientist, former Army Ranger, and New York Times bestselling author Dino Garner dismantles the stigma of trauma to reveal a revolutionary truth: What servicemembers endure is a Post-Traumatic Stress INJURY (PTSI). It is a physiological wound sustained in the line of duty, and like any physical wound, it can be healed.
Inside this groundbreaking guide, you will discover:
* The Paradigm Shift: Why changing the language from “Disorder” (PTSD) to “Injury” (PTSI) demolishes the stigma that keeps warriors from seeking care.
* Beyond the Pills: A deep dive into cutting-edge, non-pharmacologic interventions that repair the nervous system rather than masking symptoms—including Stellate Ganglion Blocks and Dual Sympathetic Resets.
* The Science of Survival: An exploration of advanced breathing protocols, neuromodulation, and the physiology of the “warrior ethos.”
* Stories of Triumph: Real-world accounts of servicemembers who moved from simply surviving trauma to achieving profound “Post-Traumatic Growth.”
For readers of The Body Keeps the Score and Tribe, this is the next essential chapter in understanding trauma.
This is not just a technical manual. It is a manifesto for the human spirit. Silent Scars, Bold Remedies provides a battle-tested map back to wholeness for veterans, first responders, and anyone navigating the aftermath of trauma.
