The Invisible Machine

The Startling Truth About Trauma and the Scientific Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Life

By: Eugene Lipov MD, Jamie Mustard, Holly Lorincz

Narrated by: Kent Klineman

Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable.

Meet 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 stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment.

Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.

Narrator was not good he didn’t keep you engaged and made you lose interest quickly

I enjoyed this book because it has inspired me to delve deeper into learning about the treatment.

Narrator should be fired from audiobook business

I have never thought that a stammering individual might be able to land a job in an audiobook industry. it's hilarious, were it not so intolerable. Please do listen to the sample, it's self explanatory. I hoped that his narration manner might improve further on throughout the book, unfortunately it only got worse. Probably, I would return the book for a refund.

The future is Now

This book is intelligently and compassionately written and the procedure spotlit here is slowly and surely changing our world. I’m full of gratefulness and hope today.

Civilian Post Traumatic Stress

The book reads like a documentary with well articulated accounts of Post Traumatic Stress (PTS). It has helped me understand my partner better and provided so much insight into what others close to me may be going through. Everyone deserves freedom. Everyone deserves relief from PTS! The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) or the more advanced Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) offers this relief, this freedom, with low risk and high efficacy! My hope is that all who suffer from PTSI receive this treatment and begin to experience the joys of life again!
