Now, leading experts in the field have a radical new understanding of post-traumatic stress . . . and a surprising new treatment to reverse it could have profound implications for medicine, mental health, and society.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. However, top trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a \u003ci\u003ephysical injury\u003c\/i\u003e--and while invisible to the naked eye, the posttraumatic stress injury (PTSI) can now be seen on a scan. Most importantly, the effects of PTSI are \u003ci\u003ereversible\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the sympathetic nervous system, controlling the fight-or-flight response. Anyone who has endured trauma, including long-term microdoses of emotional stress, can have this injury. Dr. Lipov has pioneered a safe, 15-minute procedure that reverses the injury, relieving mild to extreme symptoms of PTSI--irritability, hypervigilance, anxiety, insomnia, and more--for survivors to combat soldiers to the everyday person. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving hard science with moving human stories, \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Machine \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how this treatment was developed.
