Erase PTSD Now is a non-profit organization that aims to alleviate the suffering caused by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through innovative solutions. Its Executive Director, Coleen LaCosta, is a passionate advocate who aims to raise awareness and secure funding for the transformative treatment pioneered by Dr. Eugene Lipov. Erase PTSD Now appeals to the public for support to save the lives of those suffering from PTSD, and generous contributions have enabled over 400 SGB procedures since January 2022.
Dr. Lipov is renowned for his expertise in treating PTSD symptoms and introduced LaCosta to the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) procedure. SGB emerged as a groundbreaking approach to treating PTSD when Dr. Lipov discovered its effectiveness in 2006. Over the years, he refined the treatment into Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR), which not only alleviates post-traumatic stress symptoms but also offers longer-lasting relief. DSR has achieved an impressive 85% success rate in “rebooting” the body’s sympathetic nervous system, resetting the “fight or flight” response. It is available to individuals from all walks of life, including civilians, soldiers, first responders, and veterans.
Recognizing the life-changing impact of this treatment, Erase PTSD Now is committed to raising awareness, securing funding, and making a lasting difference. The inspiring stories of survivors before and after treatment serve as inspiration, fueling Erase PTSD Now’s commitment to its cause.
In a significant development, Erase PTSD Now and Dr. Lipov have launched a movement to rename Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI). Dr. Lipov collaborated with renowned psychiatrist and trauma science pioneer Dr. Frank Ochberg, who brings his expertise to the cause. Scientific evidence supports the notion that PTSD is a biological injury, necessitating the more accurate term PTSI. Even the military community has expressed support for this name change.
