I had this done about 1 year ago. It changed my life for the better. I hope more people with PTSD and high anxiety find out about this. I've been telling almost everyone I know. Science is truly a miracle for me 💖 Thank you!
@TeamBury Outdoors I was able to receive financial aid at the time but since then, it seems the price has been lowered (you can find the different pricing on their website). For me it lasted about a year but I have experienced long-term, positive changes in my life since having the injection. I've been able to heal and become a better version of myself. I've had some of my anxiety come back but not nearly what it used to be. I'm a lot more grounded and relaxed inside. I can separate myself from my ptsd symptoms. I definitely would get it again and I would recommend it for anyone who has high anxiety/ptsd symptoms. Even physically, I've been less sick. Trauma really does a number to the mind and body so I'm truly grateful for science.
I have a sociopathic mother. Talk therapy makes it worse. You go to a therapists office and they tell you horrible things that cripple your self esteem - you are permanently damaged, you can only manage your symptoms, let's talk about how you feel. When you tell them how you feel, they tell you that you can't get out of feeling that way, you need to "be aware" of your feelings. This makes you even angrier, which retraumatizes you. I am currently on a ketamine regime and really look forward to trying this therapy. It seems very promising.
I had my 1st SGB treatment through Stella Group the week before Juneteenth. I’ve got a flight to get 2 more treatments over 2 days in about a week, because I responded so well to the first. It’s been life changing, but you have to follow the regimen & prep steps a week ahead of time and everyone’s body and trauma is different. I haven’t been able to stop talking about it when the opportunity arises i tell anyone willing to listen to look into SGB for trauma since the only reason I got the first treatment was CPTSD. I can’t unfeel what real relaxation is like.
Stella is a financial rort! In Australia they charge approx $3000 for one treatment, one side. You can get exactly the same treatment from a radiologist with a referral from your GP, for about $500. You might need to make a few calls / emails to find a radiologist that will do it, but guaranteed you will find one in a major / capital city.
I would do anything to be able to get this treatment! I've been on fight or flight mode since I was a young girl, I'm 56 now!! I'm sure you don't except HMO though. I tried to do this when I had BCBS INS PPO and you weren't excepting insurance plans, now I see that's changed and so has my insurance plan!!' I am devistated!!!
I really had hope this would be the treatment for me. I flew out to Los Angeles to get the SGB. For the most part, I did get some desired effects, which was less anxiety, reactivity, and derealization (it didn't help the latter but it helped for former). Sadly the effects only lasted for a month or so, maybe less. I'd like to get it done again one day, but it's a lot of money knowing it lasts such a short amount of time. That was my experience anyway. Everyone is different! I really hope people get long-lasting healing from this.
The Stellate Ganglion Center in New Mexico is way cheaper than any place else in the US from what I've found. $450 an injection and Dr. Narim is amazing and an award winning anesthesiologist.
I'm curious to learn how combining this treatment with neurogenesis and neuroplasticity promoting substances like Lion's Mane mushrooms, Psilocybin mushrooms, or Ayahuasca could have on the outcome of the treatment, particularly the degree to which the injury is mitigated and the permanence to which this mitigation could be achieved. I had heard it explained that the trauma injury that is PTSD is induced by structural but reversible neurological changes, and if this could rightly be called a 'disorder', then the biological system under suitable conditions should easily be able to resolve this; the trouble is it seems that industrialised society isn't conducive to this... Shout out to Dr. Michael Levin!
@@dr.johnvogel3430 Ketamine isn't a classic psychedelic, it's a dissociative and has a completely different mode of action to what are generally classed as psychedelics. Of course psychedelics can be abused, but substances such as psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca exhibit an anti-addictive potential, not to mention the fact they they can be, and are being used as addiction therapy.
Wow, so exciting to see this video!! I remember seeing you doing the SGB close to 10 years ago on TV for PTSD. I just had mine done two weeks ago! I've had fairly severe ME/CFS, POTS, anxiety, depression just to name a few things. After reading the book CFS unraveled by Dan Neuffer and seeing how the root cause of some of my issues is likely a dysfunctional automation nervous system, I thought the SGB in combination with his brain retraining program ANS rewire would be my next course of treatment as I've been ill for almost 15 years now. Well, my heart for the first time in that 15 years isn't pounding and fast, I have no anxious feeling in my chest and I haven't had one adrenaline rush from being startled! I'm actually able to do a few minutes of exercise a day now (which is a big deal for me) since my heart can tolerate some exertion. I'm praying that this SGB is the beginning of my healing journey!! May God continue to bless all of you doctors who are changing people's lives!😊❤️🙏
@limardiyev343 hey!! So I had my first SGB done in Feb 2023, it helped eliminate my pots, tachycardia, anxiety and by April I was able to exercise an hour a day and leave my home often, which was all impossible for the past decade! Well in June, it wore off quickly and I was doing horrible again within days, couldn't do anything, almost back to bedridden. I had another SGB done in June and it did NOTHING for me:( I think the Dr missed because they only use x ray guidance and not ultrasound, which is more accurate. So in July I went to Stella Center in Chicago and Dr Lipov did my 3rd SGB. My resting heart rate went from 140 the day of the procedure to 70 the next morning!!!! My tachycardia, POTS, anxiety are gone again and im back to being able to exercise and can leave the house daily for short outings!!! I'm not sure if or when this will wear off but this is the only thing I've found in 15 years of ME/CFS to give me some life back!! I'm so thankful and live each day to the fullest while I can. I had a right side DSR SGB at Stellla, and honestly will only trust them to do it in the future for me!
@@jessedwards2912I have the same symptoms as you my heart rate went up to 140 for no reason I believe covid had something to do with it. Do you experience any difficulties breathing post injection or lump in the throat ? Also do you get any numbness n tingling symptoms ?
@views-bn6xh I definitely had horners, the difficulty swallowing, talking, and reduced breathing after my SGB, which is expected and not a bad thing. It is because that whole nerve cluster is temporarily shut off. My eye, throat etc was all back to normal after 7 hours. So have you had a SGB?? I'm 3 months past my 2nd SGB (the 1st one wore off after 4 months and my symptoms returned), and my resting heart rate is still in the 60s!! It was 120-140 daily before my SGB. I wish you luck and healing!!
@@jessedwards2912 thank you for the support 😊 I have yet to get it done but I’m considering it because my attacks have gotten much worse where I’ve been admitted into hospital twice now my resting heart rate went to high 140. I’m just afraid of the difficulty breathing side.
I keep seeing videos with words like I feel better, or less anxious, or can deal with stress better but how do you actually feel after you have had the SGB for PTSD a month later, a year later, five years later, ect? Do you feel like you are on a type of tranquilizer that doesn't wear off? Can the procedure affect your judgement? Does it slow down your mental/cognitive processing which can affect your judgement/decision choices? Why are there not more videos of at least several years post SGB for PTSD treatment?
Does it basically gradually wear off or what ever affect it has is permanent? Do some people some how feel worse days or years after the treatment?W hen and if it stops working does the previous symptoms of tension, severe anxiety, depression, vigilance come back stronger? If the SGB for PTSD addresses traumatic emotional memory will it affect other memories that are not traumatic but say thrilling like how it felt on an amusement park ride or some similar? What specific areas of the brain are affected? What is the difference in say a person taking a strong tranquilizer that last for the same duration of time? Does that interrupt the nervous system as well? What is the difference in someone having the affects of the I think actually out law-ed electro shock treatment which interrupts the nervous system and affects the brain and having the SGB for PTSD?
Hi, so I actually received this injection over a year ago and if you go up in the comments, I explained some of this but feel free to ask more questions. I'm already planning my next one but I've had some lingering benefits even over the year
@@maxbelizaire9261 yes it was the only thing that works. I swear on my life it went away immediately with what he does. It totally disconnects the switch man. It still comes back later on, but it’s relief they get you out of trouble for immediate.

Well probably because it’s a brand new gimmick to reduce PTSD symptoms and the anxiety that goes along with that. Everything at least for the most part starts out super expensive then slowly goes down. In this case that can also depend on how well the product works and how profitable it is for the company and/or the physician. It’s really just supply and demand with a little greed mixed in there a bit. I’m totally kidding I have no idea who these people are or what their business model is so don’t quote me on that.

I need it done badly. It's biological and Ivr suffered enough. I am 69. What is the price? I read about 4k is that right?
Because you I was able to heal many of my issues
Thank you Dr Lipov .
Thank you so much for this wonderful work Dr. Lipov! Thank you for your courage and innovative solutions!!!
Thanks for sharing your personal story. Absolutely incredible.
Dr Lipov is the best!!

Based on the synergy observed between SGB and ketamine, combining SGB with other psychedelics (if needed) would likely be additive

Yes I hear ketamine is the best bet combined with SGB.
I need to do this.

The VA refused to give veterans this treatment…
Outright refuses.
Costs $3000, lower the cost so people can afford it…
Not everywhere. Shop around.
thank you. Question answered. Its all about the money. $3k for 10min. Gold mine
None of those helped me.i tried ketamine and dsr
Epigenetic change doesn't change DNA.

No disrespect, but if it's just 10 minutes of needles and anesthetic, why is it so $$$$?!
Bullshit (n=1). No peer review. Placebo is a hell of a drug!
You may want to look at the randomized placebo-controlled multi-center peer review study in JAMA Psychiatry in 2019.
