Doctor: Injection can 'cure' PTSD in veterans | Fox News

Just thought I would share this with PTSD suffers who have not found other relief. I know very little about it but you can read for yourself. Also, I think since it is a clinical study it is free.

Wow....one injection cost $1,000 right now. I would suspect that it would be free if you were in this study. They say it last about 10 months. Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter that is secreted in relation to stress. It may be a breakthrough or it may not, who knows. They say this injection also helps hot flashes. Makes sense as meds also help this. Thanks for sharing this info and video.

Thanks for sharing this, it's nice to know about this and even follow up on to see if it continues to prove to help those with PTSD with no dangerous side effects. I noticed that the possible negative side effects were not discussed, may not be known at this point either.

This should be posted in the other PTSD forums as well IMO.

So far, Lipov has treated 65 patients from 25 states and one person from New Zealand. The cost of the injection is approximately $1,000 and is fully covered by his non-profit Chicago Medical Innovations. However, Lipov said in order to keep performing the procedure, the organization needs donations.

I was thinking this means it is free? I don't know it says it is fully covered by the non-profit. Also, I think many of the people who have turned to this procedure had not found any relief thru medications.
