Honestly kind of weird to me that I’m just now seeing this video. Silke, I just want to thank you for helping me with my journey of healing from CFS. Your ASMR videos helped me out so much when I first started this process a couple years ago. I got out the US military about a year ago. I was in a special operations unit, and even with the usual stress of working in a setting like that I had the added stress of not truly fitting in there. After my first deployment I decided I just couldn’t do the infantry stuff anymore and quit my ‘cool guy’ job for an office job in the same unit. The dissonance between my souls yearnings and the duties of that job just became too much to cope with. When I quit my infantry role a lot of people took it personally and a some seemed to want to make my life hell after the fact so it wasn’t exactly a healthy work environment. The height of my battle with CFS was when my nervous system was just buzzing all day from being on edge. I would put on your ASMR videos to fall asleep every night. If I didn’t I just could not get out of my head. I eventually started learning about all of the techniques you were talking about in your videos which lead to picking up a meditation routine which has been huge. It’s like the ASMR videos you make were my training wheels to get to where I actually learned about down regulating my nervous system on my own haha. Ultimately though this is 98% lifestyle changes. I’ve had to let go of a ton of limiting beliefs, old behavior patterns, and friendships that weren’t serving me anymore, but the universe was just waiting for me to open the space in my life to allow new ones in. I’ve started looking back on my battle with CFS, and more and more I’m coming to the conclusion that CFS isn’t a ‘disorder’ or something wrong… it’s the human organism rejecting modern living. For whatever reason a lot of people in our generation just can’t seem to handle the expectations placed on us by society, and when we deny those urges for so long to ‘play by the rules’ it catches up to us eventually. I do think the up tick in CFS could have something to do with humanities evolution and returning to our roots. The way we’ve been operating as a species isn’t sustainable on any level - personally, societally, or ecologically - and my guess is that CFS is a physical/emotional/spiritual manifestation of that pattern of behavior. As much as I wouldn’t wish CFS on anyone it is very cool to me that the people who learn the ride the wave so to speak always come out on the other side truer to who they are, and more in alignment with the gifts they’re meant to give to the world. Anyways, there’s my novel. Thank you so much for being who you are. You are truly a permission slip for the rest of us to live more authentically, and more in alignment with our core values.

Thank you for this long, thoughtful response. Helpful for me as a man and as someone who works construction, used to be a whitewater guide and outdoor educator, and as someone who was always up for the challenge I wondered what was wrong with me when I see mostly women who suffer with cfs. My life is more like that of a single mother so I guess it makes some sense but your theory about modern life being incompatible with the way we have evolved makes a lot of sense. Thanks brother

I have the same impression..... "the human organism rejecting modern living ". From my perspective it is rightbrained activities that are missing....creativity, art, receptivity, cyclical living, intuitive insights, trancelike states of consciousness beyond the thinking mind, cooperation, ceremony, sacred spaces.... essentially more feminine energy. It has all become about functioning at all costs, linearity, rationality, logic, effectivity, competition.... I am not made for this

Nervous system dysregulation started with complex childhood trauma; not having co-regulation with a caregiver to establish a regulated nervous system, and then not having a safe parent to co-regulate with when I felt scared. Then you make adaptations to survive, further dysregulating my n/s, and it snowballs from there, turning into anxiety, panic disorder, and then when I had several high stress situations happening at the same time, I crashed and developed CFS/ME. Trauma therapy is the thing that finally made sense to me. SE Somatic Experiencing; Peter Levine’s work. He also has written books.

I was diagnosed with CFS in 2011. I worked a job that was very stressful for thirty plus years. Having watched documentaries on the subject, I am thankful that my symptoms are relatively mild compared to many others. I still have days when I sleep 15-17 hours at a time, but for the most part I can function on a day to day basis.

@@djolesentimonga2113 Look into Cfs Recovery, Alan Gordon, dr. Andrew Huberman, dr. Alex Korb neuroscientist, therapy in a nutshell, dr Caroline leaf I think that’s her name, and just by searching on KZbin and google “how to regulate nervous system” “nervous system healing”. A lot of the work is going into a parasympathetic state. So do whatever relaxes you and brings you joy. So walks in nature, meditation, journaling, being more kind and compassionate with yourself, eft tapping, deep breathing, gentle exercise, prayer, doing an activity that you are able to currently do that you once loved: like photography or painting. If possible I recommend working with a mental health therapist, it’s really worth it once you find a great therapist. Also a psychologist that specializes in chronic pain, Cfs, somatic therapy, cbt, even better if they practice a bit more holistic. they can really help you work through any emotional stressors/limited beliefs/trauma/etc. because health outcome truly is based on biological, psychological, and social factors. Not just biological. Maybe your insurance covers seeing those professionals, hopefully they do. Also give your body the nutrients it needs. Do grounding exercises, mindfulness, and definitely don’t spend too much of your time on your phone, that’s also a stressor. Getting high quality sleep 7-9 hours of sleep, getting healthy sun exposure. Don’t listen to any stuff that’s negative, it will just drain you. Also starting a gratefulness practice, has been shown to have so many benefits with mood, life satisfaction, depression, anxiety, etc. also not believing every stupid thought that comes into our mind. Not every thought is true, accurate. So reframe the negative thoughts/fears into something more accurate and productive. A great resource is people who do brain retraining. So just search up brain retraining on IG or KZbin

Thank you so much for this video. It totally resonates with me. My first symptoms of CFS started in 2018 and my greatest wish is one day to also say "I consider myself as fully recovered". Just the thought of it brings tears to my eyes. You talk about creating a life that you want and enjoy and I´m fully with you. But I see it as a hen-and-egg problem or viscious circle - creating a life that I want promotes healing, but in order to create a life that I want (do the things I love) I need to be (more) healthy. For example for doing the job that I love and go to places that I enjoy, I need to be healthy first.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am currently feeling very frustrated because I have been in a major flare up of my CFS symptoms. I learned in 2022 about CFS being caused by a hypersensitive nervous system that's putting me into a freeze response - and I've been trying to calm my nervous system and respond well to symptoms, but I feel like I haven't made much progress at all in a year and a half. In fact I feel quite hopeless at the moment, like I don't even want to be alive if it means I feel like this all the time. It feels like I don't even have the energy to breathe properly. My life is passing me by and I spend most of the day in bed. I can't even clean out my disgusting fridge because I have no energy to do so. I am thinking that maybe what I need to try is somatic exercises to release trauma from my body. Lord knows I have had enough trauma in my life. Calming my nervous system hasn't seemed to work on my own. I will look into the trauma aspect, thank you.

Thats because you problaby have MEcfs and this women experienced chronic faltige, which can have a lot of causes. She most likely has some sort of burnout with Adrenalin fatigue. I make this assumption because 1. a neuroinflammatory disease cannot be cured by „Brain retraining“. Just as you cant heal HIV by „Brain retraining“ or cancer = if you heal your Symptoms by guided meditations and breathwork you do not have MECfS. Its really that simple. Sadly these Kind of people, who have mental issues, are often Diagnosed with mecfs because most mental conditions come Hand in Hand with fatigue, uninformed doctors are quick to Diagnose mecfs. Which is a seperate diagnosis to what this women was experiencing.

It's important to understand that these are all things that helped for her. There is no scientific proof for any of this. That doesn't mean it can't help to look into those things. But you have to be careful because more stress or activity can make your condition worsen. Personally, I have CFS ME and I fully recognise your struggle. There is also growing proof that deceases like CFS ME and long Covid have a biological basis. So it is not just a case of mindset.

In an extreme CFS and MS flare up for years, fully bed bound, can’t even take care of basic needs and people in my life left so just in bed 24/7 .. done a lot of nervous system work, diet , medical interventions … worst of it , is being completely left alone to deal with it, mine has progressed significantly, so at this point I don’t even live anymore!

How did the curable app helped you? Did it just help with pain since the focus of the app is on it or do you think it has also an universal approach against any chronic illnes which is triggered by an overdominating parasympathic system/ irregulated autonomous nervous system like cfs? I would like to give it a chance but the emphasis of it seems just on pain but there should be brain retraining elements to be also useful for cfs/ ptsd? Thanks alot for your video by the way. You gave me more the focus to work on the psychological sides. :)

Even Joey Carbstrong (A vegan leader) says he would eat meat in a survival situation. Your CFS is a survival situation so morally it is ok to eat fish and eggs in that case because you need it to live life normally. The fish especially high in Omega 6 is anti-inflammatory which would help, and the eggs are an extremely bioavailable natural multivitamin so you are going to get everything you need instead of urinating out a multivitamin.

Exactly my experience and conclusions too. Im still healing, but know its just a matter of time until fully healed, now that I can see the whole picture, and most importantly see it in myself. Glad to see someone explaining it in this way and emphasizing the mental/emotional/spiritual component. I feel like it is at the heart of so many illnesses. Best wishes 🧡🌈

Thanks for sharing your experience and your recovery process ! That’s gives so much hope, Nevertheless I don’t think that working on nervous system could be enough for everyone to heal. Even if I totally agree with the fact that permanent stress and trauma are a main factors in CFS.

Right, I've seen chemiclas, exposures. Medication, suppliments and even foods cause or bring on CFS. Not just stress. But physical stress so the body isn't "fine"

Hi!, I wanted to ask a few things because I appreciated this video but am also a little confused about some things...(also, it's hard to show expression through typing but this is NOT meant to be offensive!!)...so you mentioned that once you started living your life more in alignment with what you wanted to do, you felt better? Did you not like being a yoga instructor?, and what did you do for work with your job that you felt was more you? Also what pushed you to make the decision to make a big move with CFS (I guess as someone who also has bouts of it, moving hasn't seemed like a good idea because it can be really stressful, both times I've moved with CFS before things got worse). And am a little unclear about what specifically you did after the breathwork class to continue to recover. Will for sure listen to that podcast and get that book, thank you and glad you recovered!

Not sure for her but try any yogic breathing. Patrick McKeown has some of the best breathing videos and got me thru cvid 2x. Also Michael Sealy hypnosis videos. He has loyal subbs for a reason. Not to overwhelm you but also look up Sukie Baxter for the poly vagal and somatic breathing. As Dr Gabor Mate says disease (dysfunction) isn’t an entity in us it’s a process. This and not identifying with or using my DX unless I have to was a life changer. Hope any of this helps. Peace and health. 😊
