In December 2021, I started having bad pain in my upper back, shoulder muscles, heart palpitations, not being able to digest food, constipation, itchy skin, rash on my face, high blood pressure, anxiety etc…. I started searching for answers and went to a gastroenterologist. My testing came back fine. I kept looking for answers and came across the videos from Caring Medical. I had cervical neck problems from a car accident around 2016. So I went to A doctor in my town to get it checked. I have been going to a chiropractor for years and have been living with the pain and headaches. I got my first treatment of Pyrotherapy. Wow, it made a big difference. Headaches are gone, pain reduced to about 75%, heart palpitations gone, rash on face reduced 80%, anxiety reduced about 60%, itching reduced about 40%, food sensitivities is way better. I take digestive enzymes and Hydrochloric Acid to help with my digestive sluggishness. I only take them with larger meals so that I can train my body to work on its own. Also, when I eat, I lay on my back and stretch my body and I can hear my stomach start to move with gurgling sounds. This is my first time writing about my process. I usually just read and get information but I feel that if I am healing, that I should share it. It’s been about 5 weeks since I had the procedure done. Healing energy to you all 🥰

Where did you get the pyrotherapy at?

[@KMx108]

Thank you for sharing your experience!!

[@aicy5020]

Does pyrotherapy shorten overstretched or torn ligaments ? If so I would like to try this. It's amazing how oesophageal or stomach problems can cause severe back pain ( upper and lower) but they do I recently spoke to an extremely proficient consultant GI specialist and he told me of a variety of problems this can cause Particularly Functional neurological disorder ( used to be called conversion neurosis before they realised it was not purely psychosomatic and is probably a physical ideopathic condition ie the cause is not understood). Personally I believe the use of the new vaccine technology may have played a part in the increase of diagnosed FND An A&E nurse in the UK told me that he was willing to lose his career not taking these vaccines because he has seen too many people coming in with unusual neurological symptoms after taking them

[@florismeng9282]

All of your symptoms are from deficiency of stomach acid. You can take zinc , Iodine, so the stomach get able to make stomach acid. The doctors, misunderstand . They think because you have not acid. They make IT worse by pills. If you der you tube video from Dr Berg about, stomach acid deficiency symptoms, you find out that All tour symptoms are because og that. Hej has a pill with 50% ACV Apple cider vinegar and 50% Hydroclorid acid. But if sine ind has Ulcer, or stomach inflammation, you midt ude first zinc carnosine for ligning og the stomach.

[@brianjones2891]

I can not say how much this video has given me hope. I am literally in tears right now. I have been fighting and struggling so much with so many of the symptoms you have described for years. I have seen cardiologist, gastroenterologist, Neurologist, and many others along with so much testing including brain and cervical MRI's (which left out C1 evaluation) and still nothing. The heart palpitations, food getting stuck, bloating, cant swallow even water, scared to eat, pain in my neck, loss of hearing when I look up, dizziness, panic attacks and anxiety when I have never had them before, temperature regulation issues, numbness and tingling in my face, left arm, left hand, and so many more. The rash on my face is so embarrassing that I barely leave the house anymore. My fear of going floating that I might have an episode of feeling bad and dizzy with a headache and neck pain so strong that I don't want to do anything anymore. I was a welder for 20 years and have been told by several doctors and chiropractors that my neck is all messed up from the constant trauma from the weight of the hood and flicking my head to drop my hood. Several have told me that I have sever whiplash when I have never been in a car wreck. Without all of this, some how none if them managed to put it all together. I found your videos and am so excited to set a DR.s appointment tomorrow to talk with my PMC Dr. that i am taking notes. Thank you so much I am now excited for tomorrow for once.

[@oaklandmade007]

😳 WOW 😳 it took 6 1/2 years for my rare form of Achalasia of the lower esophagus to be properly diagnosed..and I have a pinched nerve in my neck! .I went to 8 different hospitals in California and Texas, and everyone had a different their of why my food wouldn't go or stay down. When I had my first endoscopy, they saw that the bottom of my esophagus was almost closed shut and my sphincter muscle above my stomach was in a constant spasm...so they "dilated" them both by putting a balloon inside and blowing it up until they stretched enough for food to pass......it only gave me relief for 3 weeks until everything started closing up again...then I needed another one ........I had 53 of them total😵‍💫 I literally hold the record for the most endoscopies with dilation done on one person at the hospital who eventually did my surgery💯 it's CRAZY! Unfortunately, my local VA was the ones taking care of me.....they said surgery wasn't an option, so I would just have to accept my quality of life😓 and keep getting my insides torn open every 3 weeks. ....I finally got private insurance and went to another hospital, I was in surgery the next week! They said the VA tried to kill me! No one should have 53 of ANY procedure 😡 they also said my insides were full of scar tissue and looked like they belonged to a 65 year old from them ripping me open every 3 weeks😡 the surgery I had was called a heller myotomy with a fundoplication Nissan wrap.......it literally saved my life because I was on the verge of starving to death💯 my older cousin wasn't so fortunate and she passed away from the same symptoms that I had😓moral of the story my brothers and sisters is to never give up hope, and don't take some smart, dumb azz doctor's word as law💯 stay safe out there🤗

[@jarodallen7496]

Wow shits starting get discouraging when reading about what the VA is doing to us ... I don't have any stomach issues directly thank God however my story is much similar to include the VA... long story short I'm 36 after the VA literally made me suffer until I achieved bone on bone arthritis at age 32 following my 10yrs of service in Army 3 of which was the cradle to my final enlistment. I just could not take the pain anymore and did not reenlist at e6 at 30 yo 😕.. turns out both of my shoulders are in a state of endstage arthritis one of which is a prosthetic bc the VA waited until I damn near groveled for the procedure when i hit bone on bone. Following the surgery I've had a myriad of odd nerve like symptoms all up my ulnar and median pathways I was told to have my spine fused back in 2017 by VA when I went to get second opinion upon my return to schedule the procedure seems the doctor who recommended took it personal that I wanted some reassurance before a fusion, and went on to essentially defame me in his notes on my record and cited my recreational use of Mariijuana following my visit to CA after getting out Army from a decade of service 😮‍💨🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️...to him a reason to recommend removal of my pain medication which apparently is something that has held strong to this day... Anywho the doctor who originally recommended fusion disappeared never responded to me and my pcp ignored my calls to telecare and er visits in agonizing pain and prescribed ibuprofen 30 days following any such cry for help. Reason I bring up fusion is that the location where my spine is herniated C5-C6 and C7- T 1 are where the nerve roots are for the muscles innervated by those nerves which are the shoulder, neck and arm 🤔 which likely explains my inability to abduct my shoulder on the side my spine has deviated from 5 yr old herniation that the VA has full knowledge of. I kicked and screamed to community doctors as well as VA docs I have lost many well paying jobs bc of my disability which in my stubbornness I continued to accept offers and move to the work location for the sake of the career prospects which unfortunately all crumbled away in my hands... every job ended in medical leave until I either resigned or was let go. I say all that to say that I just saw my 6th orthopedic now in OR who finally agrees with what I've been saying the entire time clear and blatant nerve damage via contact of my cervical/thoracic herniated disc's with my spinal cord specifically the ventral cord as was listed in an mri I found from VA dated 6yrs ago where they clearly identified and notated it but did no active intervention to alleviate me of what now has literally become one of the most knee buckling crosses that I've had to bare I don't usually fuss much but smh thus has amounted to unnecessary hardship and debilitating of an otherwise healthy young man and by golly heads will be a Rollin' once my health is fixed I will focus on the litigation process and the list of negligent providers that as you said "tried to kill me"

My problems started in the 90's with severe coughing attacks which kept getting worse with having laryngospasms. I had barium swallow tests, mobility function test and had to wear a acid monitor home for 24 hours, which showed I have mobility swallowing problems. I had a Nession Fundoplication surgery, hiatal surgery and put on omeprazole that was in early 2000's .I've had Mri's and Eeg's of my brain, Finally a neurologist doing every test he could think of diagnosed me with vagus nerve damage. I have a military neck (no neck curvature) seeing a chiropractor still for that and back and hip issues. I had a scope done last year 2021 and had my esophagus stretched for swallowing issues. Now I'm seeing a lung dr for breathing issues feels like someone has their hand around my throat squeezing my wind pipe, been diagnosed with dysphagia, seems like I asperate everything into my lungs, now I have copd, emphysema. I wish I could find out if a vagus nerve could be healed or fixed, I been living with this for so long, I'm tired of suffering from everything and it all started from a cough that wouldn't go away One dr I seen even told me I have had a cold for 15 years. smh...

I've gone from 126 lbs to 101 lbs in 6 months, and I'm 5'2". I have 2 dislocated cervical bones, 2 herniated cervical disc's and a benign tumor above them. They attribute all of my problems to the vagus nerve but offer me no treatment but dry needling to be able to move my neck, and Zofran TID for vomiting, and of course pain management. I've been vomiting for two days, and yet when they do a scope they say, Oh nothing serious. Yes, except I'm disappearing and if this keeps up I'll be dead from anorexia( as in lack of appetite), vomiting, dehydration, malnutrition, and organ failure. Your video makes me think maybe there is hope, because frankly I've been getting my affairs in order.

Wow, a brilliant presentation! My son was diagnosed with achalasia some years ago and after copious visits to doctors and hospitals. He was told by his GP that he was a ‘conundrum’ , I think it was suggested he might be anorexic, he lost so much weight and muscle mass, it was heartbreaking. The UK doctors didn’t know what to do with him.😢 He was given a hellos myotome, with a fundoplication wrap, he was ill for months! Moving on and some years later, he has frequent short hospital stays every few months, because he starts trying to vomit. They give him anti-sickness meds, a morphine drip for pain, saline and blood works. Stress is a massive trigger, he has not been ‘right’ since, So little information is available on this subject, I thank you for this, I wish we had known more before he had the op. Prior to the op, they used a balloon, post major op he has had follow up ops and medical procedures. He drinks water every time he eats to push the food through, he used to love his food. All this kicked off with a campylobacter infection contracted while he was working on the cruise ships. 😢

YOU'RE an AMAZING Dr. Thank you for showing us your Vagus Nerve video. The older ARMY Drs knew a HELL of alot more than these young Drs today!! Years ago I was very ill and I had horrible stomach pain for about a week my grandmother took me to our family Dr. who used to be an Army Dr. She told him about my symptoms and asked him if I had a terrible ulcer and he instantly knew what was wrong with me. He said that I have H. PYLORI BACTERIA. He gave me one shot of Penicillin. He said H. PYLORI IS CAUSED BY A BACTERIA and a shot of Penicillin will get rid of it. He was right and when I got home my symptoms were gone. Recently my grandson had the same symptoms and I told his parents that his symptoms were exactly like mine years ago I said he has that H.PYLORI BACTERIA but they decided to take him to a prestigious hospital where the YOUNG Drs examined him, then they did all kinds of tests, gave him different meds but his symptoms persisted. He said he can't take this pain anymore. So I called his mom and I told her that he's got the same symptoms that I had years ago and I was the same age as he is now when I was ill I said it was my family Dr who knew instantly what I had when my grandmother told him my symptoms. I said at least tell the Dr what I had and what my Dr said it was and he gave me a shot of Penicillin because it's the only MED that can STOP that bacteria so she told this to her family Dr and he listened and gave my grandson the penicillin and it got rid of the H.PYLORI BACTERIA INSTANTLY.

Also Big Pharma I believe is threatening them with taking away their license and ability to work. It shows they are all in bed together with each state licensing board. Did they ever tell us that the recent mandatory prick hadn’t really been tested? Or how many died from the treatment or are now permanently disabled? Now they are pushing this and hormone blockers to little children. I bet have of these parents don’t have a clue what is happening. Everyone needs to do their own homework, don’t just accept the first diagnosis or treatment. Thank you Doctor for sharing this info. Your video’s have helped me a lot. I’ve always had a kinda sickly life, no diagnosis but I always felt sore, tired etc… All of the video’s I could relate to but I’ve never received the diagnosis for each. One of my problems after 5 cervical fusions with instrumentation is my spine is being absorbed, 1/2 of all the cervical bones are gone, shown on the lateral view front to back. I’m a disabled Radiologic Tech. My esophagus looks collapsed and I frequency choke on my own saliva and food. I live on chicken soup and ice cream, the easiest for me to swallow. You have been a GOD send to a lot of us. I was told in 1997 that I have an extremely rare disease/disorder that causes clots and it’s always fatal. At the time I was so Ill I said I didn’t want to know any more except how long. He said most have 2 years but everyone is different. Well I’m still here but I don’t have any quality of life and most time wish it would just be over. I hope others try hard and follow his video’s. If it sounds like you at least you’ll have a starting point. Personally In my opinion we have been given diseases in our vaccines and medicine. Although you’d be hard pressed to find someone to tell you. I worked for an incredible Radiologist ( a Dr. that specializes in medical imaging and diagnosis). He told a class of college students learning about diseases and disorders that most of the awful diseases were deliberately given to us. Many Fauci’s before the one we know.

For the ones who suffer of a slight vagal dysfunction (a bit of Titinitus ringing sometimes, gastro reflux, tachycardia, shortness of breath for ex) or a cervical / neck issue causing Migraine (migraine as a sciatica of the neck so to speak) I would like to recommend a book for practical self-care: Autor Stanley Rosenberg, rolfer, cranian osteopath, american having a clinic in Dänemark Title "Accessing the Healing power of the Vagus Nerve" Self-help exercises.

WOW!!! In 1997 my ex-husband drove us into a 5 vehicle car accident and my seat belt did not hold me so I bounced all over the place inside the car. I had severe whiplash plus damage to my lower spine. Then my ex walked out on me and stole everything I had. In 2012/13 my neck "went out" as I was trying to unpack my stuff in my new apartment. It was so bad that every tiny, little motion made me scream in pain. I was put on methadone for pain which caused even MORE problems for my body. I tried and tried and tried to get help with all the snowballing effect of health issues. I have trouble eating anything solid as it feels like it gets stuck along the way. The pain IS excruciating at times. I often have acid reflux at which point swallowing several glasses of cold water only helps. I often vomit for no reason for several days in a row. I just lost 50 pounds from not eating. My blood sugars have gone out of the normal range for no reason. I have awful anxiety a lot of the time but they keep pushing me to get counselling or to make me go on anti-depressants & to tell them what I was thinking when it hit but they WILL NOT believe me when I tell them the truth. I often wake up at night in a full blown anxiety attack and now fear sleeping. I consume mostly yogurt or foods of that nature since foods like meat or hard foods create terrible pain and feels like it is stuck. My heart began, more recently, having palpitations and sometimes have gone up to 180 beats per minute but will not come down to a normal rate. They said in Emergency that I have A-Fib although there were no tests done. I began having high blood pressure issues a few years ago. What I am saying is that I have had almost everything in the way of symptoms you have mentioned and there are a lot of symptoms I get that I have not put in here either. I doubt that doctors where I live even KNOW what Achalasia is!! Re: that car accident in 1997 resulted in severe nerve pain in my butt area especially on the left side. It took them 15 YEARS to diagnose that. Fifteen YEARS of being accused of looking for drugs, looking for attention, looking for a way to get out of working - accusation after accusation after accusation to FINALLY have someone who KNEW how to operate a CT SCAN caught the problem. I had Piriformis Syndrome that I fixed myself within 3 days of mild stretches and exercises. THIS IS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. I am in Canada and we have the worst health care there is - I can not get the help I need. I am going to copy the web address for my doctor and tell her to go home and watch your video. MAYBE THEN I will get some help finally!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

HOW DO YOU FIX vagus nerve degeneration

[@augrse]

It takes time. Aerobic exercise, chiropractic work, rolfing, professional massage (I’d also buy a massage gun), traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, cupping, herbal tea), and possibly Vagus Nerve Stimulation (via device) if it is causing serious anxiety/depression. I’d try to get to the root cause by developing a stack of tools at home and in your community that can really give you a sense of what is going on inside your body. Use Western medicine for imagery and medication and if you are really out of wack in the beginning but I would wean off of it eventually. You have to be seriously dedicated to getting your body back, or truly inhabiting it for the very first time. Cut out alcohol and other bad habits as well, if you can’t keep them in moderation. Easier if you just stop them altogether. Be patient with yourself. And please know, there is hope :)

And so I could sit here and cry because when it came on I truly believe I experienced a form of whiplash. I collapsed like an accordion straight to the ground. And I went to a chiropractor who said without a doubt that I had a subluxation. This was after having spent 4 days in the ICU and 6 weeks with PT and OT. My PT person tried desperately to get 12 more weeks approved because my core needed to be strengthened. I've always had problems with swallowing since then which I thought was something to do with the throat muscle. I can't make saliva which is a side note. But more importantly flash forward 20 years and that subluxation is still there with swelling and migraines, and yes I don't eat well and I have things that get stuck in my throat. Right now I would pay a million dollars to sit and have a conversation with you. 🤔

My daughter has achalasia at 12 due to EDS comorbidity. We likely inherited my dad's genes, who has frenic nerve compromise and had hiccups which caused several heart attacks before he passed. We need to address CPTSD and compromised vagus nerve. Refer to Dr. Andrew Maxwell's video from last year's EDS conference addressing the autonomic nervous system issues and how innervation problems including gastroparesis/achalasia are part of what he calls the Pentad. My POTS (tachycardia) requires cervical neck brace a few hours a day.

Wished I hadn't, but I did have a cervical fusion one year and a couple months ago and am having trouble swallowing and front neck pain too. I don't think they can undo this operation and take out the hardware, but during the operation I went into AFIB twice. Possibly due to damage of the vagus nerve. Hopefully surgical procedures will be much different in the future.

Love seeing good videos. I'm 30 and made the mistake of going ten yrs before I got on the Kath for treatment. But I knew I had achalasia after doing hrs and hrs of research. But the Upper GI doctors would say everything looks fine etc. So I was hopeless. And waiting the ten yrs made my esophagus wider. So that and then not being able to swallow water down eventually broke me. I'm 6 foot 30 yrs old and weight was 100 pounds. Mal nutrition ruined my teeth lost all them and had just severe health issues. So I got my manometry test done. And then diagnosed with achalasia type 2. Eventually got the poem done. And it's saved my life. Now I can't eat like normal. But I can take small bites and drink after every one or two bites and just take my time eating and everything will pass. So I can deal with that. Lol I will take eating tiny bites and Taking forever to eat vs not getting water down on bad days. So I been trying to help people with achalasia and bring awareness. Because it's incurable. The poem and heller do help relieve symptoms for most but some it doesn't last long and some doent help at all sadly. So achalasia awareness is very important to me and my fellow people with it. Because you can't eat get water down and with that you can't work or anything. The spasms and heartburn pain for us with achalasia is beyond excruciating its not like a normal heartburn for someone. So if anyone woth achalasia needs to talk? Feel free to respond and I'll get you my Facebook or social media name to talk. There a great FB group page for achalasia. That anyone woth achalasia or family with achalasia you should join.

I had a posterior cervical fusion c-1 c-7 about 4 years ago in July .. when they got in there to see what was wrong with the cord, besides the stenosis they found on mri.. a bone spur grew over my cord and smashed it flat as a pancake the dr said .. after I remove the aspen brace my head falls foreword and I’m often walking around looking at the ground and need to lay back a little vs sitting up .. I was not told this could happen .. it’s uncomfortable and painful to try to hold my head up.. So what I did on my own was ordered a cervical posture brace .. I got the one that has the addition of straps that secure around the ribs.. this way I have the option of using them or not but still having the straps around the shoulders .. since I started using the posture brace, I have slowly been able to reduce the head falling foreword.. it’s helped me to improve posture and reduce pain from holding my head up in my neck, shoulders and spine.. I’ve also been able to eat and take fluids better..this worked for me and I only need to use the brace intermittently now.. having the posterior cervical fusion was the worst experience in my life and I’ll be dealing with it forever.. no one told me my head could fall foreword or how to deal with it and the pain associated with it if I experienced this.. the cervical posture brace has helped tremendously for me.. I’m glad I bought it..

[@kraziecatclady]

12 mins into this video and you have explained pretty much everything I have been experiencing. I have been having digestive issues for a few years (GERD and chronic constipation) and in the last 2-4 years my anxiety has spiraled out of control (frequent panic attacks and disassociation). I have had two ulcers now from taking too much motrin for over a decade. I was taking the motrin because of neck, upper back, and right shoulder pain. Physical therapy didn't help my neck, but dry needling (basically acupuncture) helped my upper back and shoulder for about 2 months, but it is starting to hurt again. I have to prop my arm across a pillow at night or it will be so numb in the morning that it is useless for a few minutes until the blood starts flowing again. If I don't prop my leg, my hips become extremely sore. Physical Therapy sent me to orthopedics and they took an x-ray of my neck which shows degenerative disc disease with moderate loss of disc space and "moderate anterior as well as posterior osteophyte formation at C5-C6..." and a lot of other scary sounding terms. I'm not a doctor so I don't understand more than what google tells me about these terms, but it doesn't sound good. I have an appointment for an MRI this week so they can see what is going on with my neck better because at this point, it was suggested that I might need neck injections for the pain. I saw a few links online while looking for the terms from the x-ray read out and came across something about cervical spondylosis (which is also listed in the x-ray) and mood disorders. Then I saw the stuff about digestive issues and numbness in the arms. I had no idea that neck problems can cause anxiety issues. My psychiatrist has been confused because while I have had anxiety for a long time, it has never got to the point where it has become this disabling even in worse situations. I can barely leave my house anymore and I've started having binge eating issues tied to my anxiety. It would be wild to me if it turns out all of my problems are actually being caused by the pain my neck, but all the things I have been reading seem to match up with every issue I have been having, some of them I haven't even told the doctors about because I didn't think they were a big deal in comparison to my anxiety. Is there anything you suggest I should talk to my doctor about when we get the MRI results?

Dr Hauser Many years ago I had scapulothoracic fusion performed and had relief from pain for many years. about 2 years ago I fell in the shower landed twisted on my left side. Afterwards I noticed my sternum was sticking out and lying flat caused pain in the vertebrae in the region where the bottom of the rib cage connects to the spine at the back, This gradually got worse with time and my scapula started to pull on the vertebrae, One day later I sat up quickly and felt something give and there was a crunching and popping noise. I believe I have either disconnected the rib cage from the spine or torn a ligament from the rhomboid or lower trapezius from the spine, Previously i also had cervical fusion from C5 to T1 and several first rib resections on both sides. After the time I sat up causing damage the rib cage rose and I felt the muscles below losing function and just pulling. I seem to have lost my abdominal muscles and the transverse abdominals . It feels like my upper body is not connected properly to the lower region. My buttocks have severely atrophied down to the bone in places and my lowe back is just pulling. Its impossible to sit with by buttocks against the chair and the rib cage is not sitting in the correct position I also have trouble swallowing and when I drink liquids I always cough violently.

Also look at Prolonged Fasting to invoke autophagy and massively invoke stem cell rejuvenation of core body physiology. Pancreatitis is most likely caused by insulin resistance in my opinion. Revero health and Shawn Baker MD channel good place to start.

This explains things that I understand my health lots more. I have had front neck surgery twice n back surgery twice. I get strangled lots n scares me to death n the surgeon said if they have to go back into neck anymore it would close throat more.I can not eat my dinner at one time ,I have to eat part n have to wait to eat more

Doc, would you please do a video on the vagus nerve and heart palpitations? I know you've mentioned them in your past videos. I've been struggling for over a year with them and have most of the symptoms you mention on a regular basis. My heart palpitations are completely random, sometimes with movement, sometimes with stress.

I have the same problem. I would also love a video on this. I get what’s called PVCs when I eat, but also when I am hungry. It feels very much like a palpitation. My doctors just don’t have a clue.

I've done my own study on this subject and can say with extreme confidence that the whole problem revolves around an arthritic sternum. When young and in good health we wildly neglect our inner health...we let it take care of itself but by our wild behaviour the flow of hormones, bilirubin, cerebrospinal fluid all take a hit. This fluid does a number of important things...it lubricates all sphincters within us...even the replicating living cell is a sphincter...but it also clears out salts which congest just about everywhere within us. It's early days yet but the science is most encouraging. It is a righteous science which I got from the Holy Bible.

[@nanallen1]

@stephanie r I have lived this nightmare for 20 plus years since a neck/ sacrum injury in 1998. So injury - Yes. But also scoliosis can cause instability and misalignment. The stability of the sacrum/ pelvis also influences the neck and lower skull and can cause these problems and more. Watch every video you can on this channel. Dr. Hauser is wonderful. The neck - critical to everything.

(labelled idiosyncratic?, five times now), gall bladder removed along time ago but have been worse and worse since 15yrs ago since it was removed, but still pass UNFORTUNATELY small stones and have biliary spasming and snaps the biliary bile duct door shut, leading to jaundice and extremely deranged lfts, lots and pancreatic bloods can swing way off without explanation, extreme pain days from biliary stenosis type1 pain is easily or worse than the pancreatitis pain, (I can actually black out and stop being able to breathe from the pain, its 10/10++), effects my diaphragm cos the pain irritates it(?), Sphincter of ODDI dysfunction, intense anxiety attacks for no reason sometimes in succession for 24hrs straight- no explanationever given in E.R, bursts of chills and shaking for no reason, bouts of daily SEVERE raynauds mainly in feet but spreading over the years to hands and nose and ears, random tachycardia events, heart palpitations that skips beats in the wrist, uncontrollable hot flashes, now developing inability to control bowel movements with no warning style diarrhoea,(to scared to leave the house most days), frequent electrolyte drops where I end up in e.r with tachycardia and BP all over the place usually EXTREMELY HIGH, and need immediate drip iv top ups of all electrolytes, recent new addition to all this craziness, extreme light sensitivity which leads to intense aura with no migraine pain triggered by sudden unexpectedly bright electronic lights (can cause total or partial blindness in both eyes, I have developed a permanent scintillating scotoma in one eyes peripheral, (it was estimated in E.R it may have been a TIA or mini stroke?) I presented to E.R both times, first time both eyes lost vision in less than a minute but self resolved in an hour or two, I then developed a chronic headache that lasted 3 months straight. I get frozen upper traps on the left side of my neck. Extreme pain in my thoracic front but mainly back... just discovered I have 2 entirely deflated empty discs in my thoracic, (no idea why? Or how!) I'm 41, I can't stand for more than 10 minutes or I'm out for the entire day after I trigger the back pain. I'm on a large amount of various types of pain killers 24/7 and it does help the biliary pain, the bowel incontinence, but not much else and not always, doesn't help the neck and back pain at all. I also get bouts of POTS. Where I completely lose all vision and sometimes hearing aswell for up to a few minutes at absolute worst on standing up after rest. I'm sick of EVERYONE TELLING ME IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD AND I'M JUST HAVING ANXIETY!!! I had a massive car accident and was T-barred, hit my head on the right side really hard, car rolled 3 times and was totalled. But I somehow had no concussion or evidence then of neck damage. I do pole dance as a sport and fell in 2014 and hit my head side on and eventually I discovered the bulging sack like discs into my spinal cord likely due to that event! My Dr denied it could cause pain or ANY other symptoms. I also have bouts of EXTREMELY BAD Gerd. Please tell me, this could all be traced to this condition???

My lord, Dr you are very knowledgeable on many areas. I have had neck issues from 4 times whiplash over many years plus repetitive work aggravating neck, back, shoulders etc. I really wished there were experts like YOU (or even actually you)here in Perth west Australia. Some of my family members have digestive, problems eating, nausea and pain issues but unsure if their Doctors have looked into the Vagus nerve area of things. I’ve shred your video with them just now I guess to see if they feel it’s relevant. So many times the GPS or specialists we see are blind to things “outside” the square if you get my drift. Often just sticking with the usual or common medical causes they know n have sealed with instead of “really” going further n deeper beyond to investigate and find causes. Too many times I’ve had doctors say..”well it all seems ok” or “hmm, we can’t really find much problem their ….so?” After I had a fall causing a colles wrist fracture 4 years ago “I “ actually informed the hospital doctor who tended me that I had CRPS and soon after telling THEM I had discovered I now have Dupuytrens Contracture! 😳 it was by really taking note of what I was going thru symptoms wise and researching online reading reports, case studies and people with same symptoms that I told them these findings… I was correct btw…lol They confirmed but said the DC was hereditary, I disagreed and said I felt it was triggered but the fracture and trauma. I still have sharp pain in right wrist n up forearm now and luckily the DC in that hand has only caused nodules and pulling into the centre of palm under lil finger and ring finger from both base of palm and thumb side with only minimal restrictions of straightening those two fingers out. I’m awaiting an orthopaedic specialist appointment and will be asking about or whether radiation therapy is a choice. Thank you for such an in-depth session, as a non medical professional alot goes over my head but at the same time I’ve understood what you were explaining (maybe just not “all” the medical terms etc) but it’s certainly very interesting. Stay well. I’ve subscribed n look forward to watching n learning more from you. Lisa Perth West Australia

Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) helped my friend incredibly. She'd been on antacids for years, then had Schatzki's ring surgery, and was put on Protonix, indefinitely! - it's a proton pump inhibitor which is VERY bad for you, and is usually only prescribed for 90 days tops. BUT this doctor said she would have to stay on it! The longer you take PPIs, the greater your risk of early death- literally a 51 percent increased risk of premature death found in people taking them for a year or more. Thanks doc! 🤬 Taking antacids longterm period is not much better. There's studies out there and lawsuits too. I can't remember the exact mechanism of action of the black seed oil but I do remember that it had many healing qualities and seemed for sure something to try. She started with capsules and at first she felt like she was burping them sometimes but eventually it seem to subside. She then added a good probiotic, which I'm assuming helped in the absorbtion of the black seed oil as well as everything else, and found nigella sativa in a powder form with higher amount of active components. Prior to all of this she had swallowing problems and gerd so bad she had to have her work schedule catered to her around her ability to eat and digest - she could NOT lay down or recline at all for at least 3 to 4 hours after eating, and even then she was still woken up throughout the night with issues and stayed exhausted. She also thought she was lactose intolerant! ALL of it went away. She was able to quit taking the proton pump inhibitor, and whatever that stuff is people take before eating dairy, and all antacids and doesn't have to cater her whole life around her ability to swallow and digest. Plus tell that dr to kiss her ****. Very interesting disorder, and although I have not experienced it I definitely feel for anyone who has to go through ANYTHING like it after seeing what all my friend had to go through. She literally couldn't eat on a 30 min lunch break! It may not be exactly the same thing you're going through but it's worth checking into because there were soooo many healing qualities to black seed oil it was mind blowing. It's even used in traumatic brain injury! Which is how I found it, researching for my daughter her suffered a TBI in an auto accident. Also another thing is glutathione levels, it's the body's main antioxidant and low levels affect EVERYTHING, as well as reduce our bodies ability to rid itself of toxins (like heavy metals in all the food). We're ALL low in this unless we're perfectly healthy. Selenium increases glutathione, it plays a very important role in so much but we don't ever think about it. Also an even faster way to increase glutathione levels and help the body detox is N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) - an amino acid that also is used in everything from tardive diskinesia and Parkinsons to kidney issues and lung issues -and works so well it must be the reason why the FDA tried to ban it and Amazon quit selling it! Fortunately it's still available

[@shantejames9816]

Thank you for this information! I need to find a way to get from Houston to you ASAP- Here's a revised version of your text with improved grammar: I was diagnosed in 2010 and underwent a Heller’s Myotomy with Fundoplication. I traveled to Chicago to see an Achalasia surgeon; however, a day or two after the surgery, the surgeon noticed I was one of his rare failures. Since then, I’ve been receiving dilations once or twice a year. My spasms have been severe. Recently, I was also diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and have herniated discs. I feel it's definitely related to my nerve issues. I experience neck pain and numbness frequently. I've been advised I have level 4 Achalasia and should consider an esophagectomy. However, as a parent of three young children, I don't feel ready. Additionally, I fear that if the nerve is the root cause, I may continue facing issues even after a partial removal.
