The only risk is the risk of pharmaceuticals loosing out on millions of dollars.

Dr Lynch, have you seen success with this treatment helping with chronic insomnia?

@jameslynch3448 17 күн бұрын

Yes. If you look at which specific symptoms respond best to SGB, sleep problems are toward the top of the list. See: drjameslynch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SGBEffectonPTSDSxs_HighlightsMilMed16.pdf

Yes, one of the symptoms that SGB helps most with is poor sleep. We have researched this and published our results which have been supported more recently by another study which found SGB has a significant impact on sleep.

Looking for studies that support the data as trying to promote the use of this procedure here in the UK, but we are backward here so i'm looking for information to present to the health authorities here. Help appreciated.

@@markpatrick5246 There is a clinical trial using Psilocybin to treat Major Depression, I participated in it 2 years ago. The other thing is in state of Oregon they have regulated Psilocybin Centers that administers Psilocybin under the same settings as the study with a minder present. I would never advocate taking medicine illegally obtained.

Dr. Lynch we have feelings of hope for my husband after finding your videos on PTDS/anxiety. Traveling from the Charlotte, N.C. area to Annapolis would be a challenge although we would prefer to see you for this procedure. Do you know of an affiliate with your skills closer to us?

Dr. Lynch - Are there any consequences to essentially turning off the fight or flight response? It seems concerning/unsafe to turn off such an important protective part. I'm wondering how hard this dials that system back and for how long? In your example of someone slamming brakes in front of you causing you to enter into fight or flight - would SGB make you feel like there is no threat if someone slams their brakes in front of you?

@jameslynch3448 5 ай бұрын

Turning off the sympathetic response permanently would be a terrible idea! Thanks for the question. No. SGB uses an anesthesia that wears off in 6-8 hours. It allows the fight-or-flight system to RESET. The cervical sympathetic trunk simply goes to sleep for 8 hours. When it wakes up, it functions normally-typically at a state which is appropriate not in a state of inappropriate hyperarousal. Hope that helps. drjameslynch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/SGBNeurocogPerformanceMilMed15.pdf

No. SGB does not turn off or even dampen a normal fight or flight response. (That would be a bad idea!) The anesthetic used to “block” the cervical sympathetic trunk wears off in 6-8 hours. This allows the nerve to RESET from an inappropriately elevated circuit to normal function. Hope that helps. See article in link above.

It doesn’t work that way, it just resets it. So if you were actually in danger you would still know and react properly instead of constantly being in fight or flight doing simple everyday tasks.
