Adapted from a recent broadcast, WBBM NewsRadio’s [ @wbbmam ] Lisa Fielding reports on Dr. Lipov’s pioneering work in treating post-traumatic stress. “This week’s Difference Maker” segment highlighted the story of his patient, Chicago Police officer officer, Lieutenant Melinda Linas.

Chicago has had 20 deaths by suicide by CPD officers. According to 2021 data, law enforcement personnel are 54% more likely to die by suicide than all other segments of the population, given the (often, repeated) exposure to violent crime.

Linas came to Dr. Lipov for relief. She says the SGB shot made an immediate difference.

“I talked to a clinician. I should've done this sooner. I couldn't break through so I sought out the shot after talking to others who did it. It was a game changer. I was not able to employ tools and sort through a lot of trauma,” said Linas. “ I was able to see clearer and work through and share my story with other officers. It's changed my life. I feel calmer, I sleep better and my family has noticed I'm less stressed and able to deal with trauma so much better."

"The whole idea of a shot to make me feel better was super strange, in my neck was a little weird too. It was time to find something to make myself feel better. It kicked in immediately. I didn't know I could feel so calm. So far, it's lasted but I still see a clinician. It's made me a happier mother. I'm more present." she smiled. "The kids noticed, the husband noticed and I talk about this a lot." she laughed.

Dr. Eugene Lipov is a board-certified physician in anesthesiology and pain, and one of the world’s leading experts on the physical consequences of post-traumatic stress — a pioneer in stellate ganglion treatment for symptoms of PTSD. Just released, “The Invisible Machine,” offers a new understanding of trauma…and a treatment to reverse the symptoms that could have profound implications for medicine, mental health and society at large.

Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR), formerly referred to as SGB, is a treatment that “resets” a person’s fight-or-flight response, which depending on the level of trauma, can get stuck in the “on position” resulting in symptoms such as stress, anxiety, hypervigilance, hyperarousal, insomnia, paranoia and at worst-homicidal and suicidal ideations.

Until DSR, no treatments have warranted such successful results — an efficacy rate of 80-85%, and few side effects. In fact, the original SGB treatment, which Lipov discovered in 2006, was only available to elite special operators such as US Navy SEALs, Delta Force, 9/11 first responders, sexual assault victims and people with extreme trauma. Now, DSR is available to everyone.

To date, somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 people have been successfully treated with SGB / DSR. A number of patients are now reaching 10-15 years or relief. The results are real and relief is available now.
