Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``No Hero Left Untreated Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Magnetic EEG/EKG-guided resonance therapy has
successfully treated more than 400 veterans with post-traumatic
stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual
trauma, chronic pain, and opiate addiction.
(2) Recent clinical trials and randomized, placebo-
controlled, double-blind studies have produced promising
measurable outcomes in the evolution of magnetic EEG/EKG-guided
resonance therapy.
(3) The outcomes described in paragraph (2) have resulted
in escalating demand from returning members of the Armed Forces
and veterans who are seeking access to magnetic EEG/EKG-guided
resonance therapy.
(4) Congress recognizes the importance of initiating
innovative pilot programs that demonstrate the use and
effectiveness of new treatment options for post-traumatic
stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual
trauma, chronic pain, and opiate addiction.

trauma, chronic pain, or opiate addiction.
(b) Locations.--The Secretary shall carry out the pilot program
under subsection (a) at not more than two facilities of the Department
