How we help

  • Awareness For Blast-Related TBI

    Traumatic brain injury is the signature injury of the GWOT. Yet many blast-related injuries remain unrecognized or inadequately treated. Blastology Foundation raises awareness of these injuries and their lasting consequences.

  • Funding Treatment Access

    Through donor support, Blastology Foundation helps wounded GWOT veterans access investigational stem cell treatment for blast-related TBI and assists with associated travel expenses.

    Donate To Support Treatment

  • Purple Heart Recognition

    Too many veterans affected by blast exposure never received proper recognition. Blastology supports efforts to close the gap between injury, documentation, and honor.

Veteran Impact Story

A Chance To Feel Like Himself Again

“Before treatment, I was dealing with headaches, anxiety, focus issues, and the strain it put on my family. After Blastology helped me access treatment, I felt clearer, calmer, and closer to normal than I’d felt since the blast.”

The story behind blastology

Josh Lindstrom, a retired Green Beret and Purple Heart recipient, knows the consequences of blast-related traumatic brain injury firsthand. After years of rehabilitation and treatments that offered little relief, he pursued stem cell treatment as another option for addressing his injuries.

Drawing on his personal experience and years spent studying the effects of explosive blast forces on the human body, Josh calls himself “The Blastologist.” He founded Blastology Foundation to help other wounded veterans access treatment.

“Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is our generation’s Agent Orange.”

— Josh Lindstrom, Founding Director
