***Trust This Works!!! *** I used to have POTS. Do a KZbin search on fasting people getting healed. I challenge you to ask God To Heal Your Body! Do a complete fast for 3 Days No Food Only water or Juice! The Lord well deliver you from this affection just like he did me! He wants to heal your body just ask in faith and fast and prayer. When he heals you make sure you spread the word to others suffering from POTS. God Bless!! Jesus Christ Is Lord

Could you possibly do a video explaining why you have chosen NOT to have any surgery to fixate and stabilize that atlas and axis once and for all? In the beginning of my journey I was so against surgery too, but I have been forced to live in survival mode for 3+ years now and I want to go back to life. I'm finally open to the fusion or fixation surgery bc I can't live like this anymore, tho I am still terrified. I watch Centeno Schultz clinic vids on the topic and the regen med doctor there is very knowledgeable and he said there is literally only a FEW surgeons IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW! that he would trust doing such a precious procedure. I am in the process of trying to get in with them and of course I will have to travel but ya, you r so helpful and knowledgeable and I would love to hear your opinion and thought process regarding the surgery

Have lots of those issues but what makes me crazy is bending causes pain more than eating even though can’t eat much and am under weight plan to have median Artuate Ligament Syndrome surgery with other surgeries at same time in about a month lots of testing first. Don’t digest too and since vax I escaped symptoms my pots got worse. Iv fluids daily. Also full fast and my blood pressure rises when bend causing weird feeling and yea chest pressure also had 9 CPNerve blocks having another before surgery. Also had issues with bowel movement I now mad the hard decision to get an illiostomy which does help the BM issue which was horrible

I really appreciate you naming these misconceptions. I relate a lot to getting advice that may be useful for some, but often left me feeling more isolated as these approaches and interventions didn’t change my overall health and function. It’s so important to do right by our bodies, but it’s also important to acknowledge and emotionally support the legitimate barriers we’re experiencing. I’m so happy for all of your improvements and health and the milestones you’ve met like even going to get your haircut. ❤

What concerns me about the DNRS programme is it taps into the Type A personality, because of the amount of work that needs to be done each and every day. That it can become a stress in itself to get all the 5 pillars done every day and if we don't manage that, we feel like a failure. Because as Type A's we are perfectionists and over work ourselves. There are some days where all 5 pillars can't be achieved or we simply don't want to do them, especially women with our hormonal cycles. We will naturally be more motivated some weeks of the month, others we simply want a break and rest from it all. How do these people on the DNRS commit and do their practice without fail every single day? I certainly can't.

I think it's really important to address the fact that sometimes you can't heal because the underlying cause hasn't actually been addressed, and simply trying to re-wire the brain, cannot heal every situation. In the case of, for example, tethered cord, you are still having spinal cord trauma unless you address the actual physical caudal traction. I had a very fatty filum terminale and it had caused a lot of injury to my spinal cord. I actually have a syrinx in my neck from the spinal cord traction. And if I had not actually had that traction released, no other forms of mental training would have gotten me out of that situation. Now, I still have ways to go with my healing, and of course hope that brain retraining and somatic excercises will help my healing mindset, but I know that in these circumstances it takes other types of treatment and therapies to help us get there. I still have PTSD and trauma to work through and I think there will always be that underlying fear of health declining again, despite treatment. I definitely think it's really important to address the trauma, and not to ignore it. I do think we should allow ourselves to recognize our human emotions and learn to overcome them. Healing is such a roller-coaster.

I really appreciate your video about Prolotherapy.

(I suspected SIBO or Gastroparesis since those conditions can also be caused by EDS, but I haven't been tested for the GI problems)

Omg if i reported every doctor, nurse, specialist that has treated me appallingly, made me feel ridiculous and patronised me, there wouldn't be any left. I'm just a crazy menopausal woman, hypochondriac, anxious and depressed, that's what they labelled me as. I literally have PTSD from the treatment of these medical professionals! When I had the tilt table test, they sprayed some kind of medication they give for angina in my mouth, 5 seconds later i was passing out, blood pressure was non existent. I heard the guy doing the test say POTS but never been diagnosed or even called back for results! I also look into medication interactions. I don't trust doctors anymore. They told me i was stressed and depressed, gave me antidepressants, never took me seriously ever since. Now im suffering with Sjögren's syndrome and fighting to be listened to and taken seriously! Ive had to go private for specialist tests because my doctors won't order any testing, they think its my mental health! When i get the results I'm going all out and calling out every bloody doctor that wouldn't listen to me and treated me like sh#t . Everyone has got the same story unfortunately.
