3 Components - Work with the Nervous System (Autonomic Nervous System) - Meditation - Therapy - Dealing with past trauma - changing life cirumstances - Brain Training - Treating the condition like a phobia - You are scared of everything (foods, people, cirumstances) You become an expert in being sick. - Teaching the brain that the world is safe. - Gradual exposure therapy is pacing. - Looking at underlying infections - Adressing the gut, nutrition, heavy metals and molds in the body.Healing the gut is crucial

Yes, Calming down the nervous system was key for me to getting better. In my first year I was stuck in Fight or Flight. I was only getting 4 hours of not even propper sleep a day. I learned about the nervous system and did all the things to calm it down, meditation, natural remedies, meds, breathwork, HRV feedback. I was trying to take control over my nervous system, but it just would not calm down. Right when I hit the one year mark, I got reinfected and crashed to very severe ME. This was where I gave up. And THIS was a turning point for me. I gave up trying to control things. I let go. I let my body do its thing. And this was when my nervous system switched to recovery. All of the sudden I went from 4 hours of sleep to 20 hours of sleep per day. Good, restful sleep. And I started getting better. From Bell 5 to Bell 20 within 6 months, which felt insanly rapid.

@@saintejeannedarc9460 Irene Lyon has a great channel, among others, that talk about physiological symptoms like those seen in CFS and other conditions as communicaton by your unconscious alerting you to toxic unprocessed emotions that are stored in you. They are a result of the unhealthy cultural behaviours (like emotional suppression). Because we were taught from a young age to bury our feelings, they don't just disappear, they sit in our physiology and actually affect our behavioural patterns and overall health. There are a variety of tools to help access and process these trapped emotions, like journaling, all with a massive emphasis on self compassion - validating and acknowledging what has affected us over the years - no matter how small the event was. Gabor Mate, who I urge you to check out if you haven't already, says that trauma isn't what happens to us, but what happens inside of us as a result. As a way of coping, we buried our experiences and our minds became disconnected from our bodies and its sensations, and ultimately disconnected from who we are. Reconnect your mind, your consciousness back into the body and the unconscious, and begin processing all the pain - that is the path to freedom.

I say with them, told them how much i loved them, held their hand and cuddled with them. They managed to push through the day and crashed again at home, but, when i was cuddling with them and was Non- verbal. They leaned towards me and whimpered “Thank you” and when i got home, i burst into tears. Thank you for this ❤❤❤

I don't agree with the pacing exercise approach to Long Covid. I've had LC for almost a year now and my GP here in the UK told me to exercise no matter what and every time I do, I crash. Even if my session is light or it's a walk in the forrest, and before this I was an extremely fit rock climber. I eventually switched Drs in the practice and she told me not to exercise at all and that is also the advice from the leading LC researchers/Drs here in the UK. I know some people are claiming to have success with pacing, but I'm more convinced this is a media driven story that's pushing people further into trouble. My real progress kicked in once I really looked at my gut health and I've made huge leaps forward.

Are you talking about probiotics? Cause theres a research showing correlation of poor gut health and long covid. I did a stool test and found out my level of healthy microbes is much lower than the norm so I was prescribed concentrated dose of probiotics and also follow a more gut healthy diet. It definitely helped me to improve thou the recovery progress is slow. For exercise, I only slowly resumed cautiously light level of exercise (to the point just before severe pem kicks in) which I think helps but it is really hard to get it right so I understand why some ppl say you shouldn't exercise. Actually it should be called conditioning other than exercise since you shouldn't be stressing your body. I was also very active in rock climbing before long covid hits in May this year. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Hi, I recently recovered from a long covid since I was positive with covid 19 in October 2022. I'm in my 30s, was moderately active (running and hiking) before covid, but afterwards I struggled with long covid. I had fatigue, couldn't walk before I had to sit down and rest, I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was prescribed Symbicort. I couldn't work out for more than 15 minutes. I started eliminating food that causes inflammation such as red meat, deep fries and white sugar from my diet, and incorporating more strength training instead of primarily cardio, especially core training. I took multivitamins, ramped up my water intake and made sure I had enough vitamin D. Now's the third month I've been feeling my normal self again.

I’ve tried the brain training thing for two years, I’m not scared of anything but every time I exercise I’m bed ridden for days or weeks after trying it, I’ve attempted to push through it and makes it even worse. I think this goes quite a bit beyond being scared of exercise. I have viral feelings, sore throat and body aches everytime I try lifting weights. This is wu wu silly advice for most people with the CFS symptoms. I was a stellar athlete before this.

@leaperrins8373 Жыл бұрын

I think you are misunderstanding. If exercising makes you ill then don't do it, or just do what you can without symptoms. You then very very slowly build on that, teaching and strengthening your nervous system over time. I've never heard anyone recommend that you push through with CFS. The key to recovery is stopping the push and crash cycle, not increasing it. Many of our internal alarms are unconscious. We may not feel threatened by something, but our nervous system is registering the event as a threat unconsciously.

I tend to agree - this may work for some, but not if underlying areas are not dealt with, like adrenals, thyroid, liver, kidney, pineal gland ... mitochondria are hit by covid, hot baths can help, they help me - really hot, get in and run it up with Epsom salts, and take 1-2 litres in with you. Weigh yourself before and after, rehydrate. Hot/cold baths also really good for the immune system. Saunas, IR saunas, then supporting the body where it is crashing. As far as I am concerned this is not brain training, I am not afraid of exercise, as you say, it refuses to do what I used to do. Thyroid levels are wrong in different countries, and if you have the symptoms, TSH is not optimal, then thyroid may well be part of the problem. Sleep is huge, and is stress related.

OMG Raelan, this is a GAME CHANGER. My LC started in January and it def has progressed to where it's obvious today it's turned into ME/CFS. I fought that for a bit there and kept pushing myself, stressing myself, only to relapse obviously, or get worse. For me it happened due to a big life change I made willingly, which taught me now in hindsight, that changes when possible need to be gradual, not sudden. It costed me my health, but the advice you are giving us here, is amazing. It says the hard truth, which is, it's us. It depends on us, and that's why no doctor or supplement is healing us. It's up to us. Lots of love, thank you for your work!

Thank you Raelan for summing up the things the recovered community has been trying to say for so long repeatedly. My biggest key to a full recovery was understanding that this issue was my autonomic nervous system and not some undiagnosed disease that was going to kill me. Especially after being cleared by my doctors. This was a brain-body illness for me and realizing that was huge. I don’t like the phrase mind-body because people think I’m saying the illness is “all in your head”. The issue needs resolving with brain rewiring. It just so happens that your brain is located in your head 😅 Doesn’t mean your symptoms aren’t real or made up. Very real symptoms. Very real condition. Very real approach to recovery as well. Recovery is also very real too. All these recovery stories aren’t made up. Keep doing what you do Raelan. The community loves ya and so do all of us over at Recovery Jumpstart!

Hi Raelan. Thank you for everything you provide on your channel :) I developed a 'mystery' illness about a year after chemo/radiation for cervical cancer.

The red herring was a high ANA reading and the endless hunt to find an autoimmune condition when nothing specific was showing up. My symptoms are more in line with fibro/cfs. I appreciate your take on how the brain can block our bodies natural ability to heal. I certainly experienced a huge threat to my survival and I really don't think my body understands that it's in the past now. Thank you :)

The way you've synthesized the common threads from close to 100 interviews is a massive contribution to this field and community. Thank you for all you do! I'm thrilled that the pivotal role of the brain and nervous system is being understood by a wider audience! It took me 13 painful years to discover this approach in 2018 and once I did, it skyrocketed my recovery. I am passionate to share this knowledge so people can avoid more suffering than necessary! Neuroscience is proving how stress impacts our brain and nervous system, and how to unwind those patterns by finding a felt sense of safety in our body. The symptoms are 100% real and it's not our fault. It's biology. But thankfully with new understandings and practices, we can recover! It can take dedication but it's empowering and life-giving work. Wishing everyone wellbeing and love on their journey! ❤

They are strong minded people and fighters, but their problems are clinical like a damaged nerveus system making them unable to breath normaly or they lack the ability to perform normal gas exchange.

I was tested for auto immune diseases and after these were negative I was told, "you have chronic fatigue syndrom. This is new to me and really overwhelming. Stress has always been with me. As a teacher stress is part of the job. This will be my last year teaching. There are lots of reasons but often as teacher we do it to ourselves. I was the teacher who took work home every weekend and stayed late. Finally, in my 50' I stopped doing this. I don't stress about work anymore, I enjoy my last year with my students. I do have a functional doctor and get acupunture, take supplements; acupunture helps me a lot but can be expensive. Over winter break I am going to focus on my diet and beginning meditation. For me, though it's not the fear of going for a walk, it's literally the pain I will be in the next day. I love to be outside and have been depressed but it's counter intuitive to do something that you know will cause you pain. It's not fear that keeps me from doing things it's pain and the need to get myself to work. Hopefully this will change and I will get back to doing the things I love outside Thank you for sharing this video.

there is not a lot to be done, we suffer from tissue scarring, extensive tissue scarring caused by inflammatory cytokines, which we know never fully recovers, and any activity involving areas where tissues have been scarred are weakened for life and could potentially sustain further injury further progressing the tissue damage and symptoms we present with, we must limit ourselves each and every day or face relapses, we feel better for a small amount of time and we start performing any sort of activity and either later that same day or the next its all over again.

Then October I got sick for a month with a virus. Then November I got a bad cold. January/Feb of this year I apparently got COVID again for a 3rd time because the dr told me I had a spike in my antibodies. I’m losing my mind!!!! The fatigue is debilitating!!!

As a new viewer, and now subscriber, who has he going through the cycle of having episodes where I have the same symptoms that leaves me tired and in bed for days on end, just want will enough to function for a few hours before being rest again, having had every test and scan under the sun that came back negative and just being told by my doctor that in the end I will just have to live with it I'm a little confused by this video. I completely agree with everything you say, and your right in what you say, it will help people who are afraid to go back to how they are living before, missing with people, doing exercise, eating more healthily, but I think you are confusing many different experiences into one and saying that everyone can be "fixed" when I don't believe this to be the case, some people like me who have to live with it. I'm not negative, I try to eat healthy most of the time, I go out with friends when I'm feeling up to it, I love to run, so when I can I get out into the wild and go for 15km runs, but I have to accept that what I have will never go away, and I'm not sad about this it's just how things are. Some people aren't like this and it may just be a lingering infection that these changes will see them back to normal and it's great that you are giving this advice based on your experiences, personal and with those you've spoken to, I'm sure it will help many, and resonate with those that have been through this and recovered, but I think Long COVID and ME, for example, are completely different, and whilst the first is fairly new and be completely different (whilst having similarities in terms of symptoms). Everyone is different and in the end I think the first think I say anyone suffering would be it's positive, because from my own experience if you aren't things can spiral and get worse and worse which brings in mental health issues along with the underlying medical ones. But in the end at some point you have to do the best you can, strive to be better, try new things and see if they improve things, and maybe in the end there will be a breakthrough, but I don't think there's a one size fits all solution, some people will just have to learn to live the condition they have, rest up, eat well and rinse and repeat if and when it again. I'll have to watch more of your videos as I can't judge on one interview, but thanks again for the advice, and even if something doesn't work for you it's great to know what certain things have worked for others, and to try things if there's something I haven't tried yet, it may help a lot.

I so wished I know what I now know five years ago. I agree with you repairing the nervous system is central to recovery. And it is not that black and white. I see CFS/ME as a form of burn out. And for me there are/were underlying issues of lack of self care and stress management. the body calls us out for us to 're align' with ourselves. What's happening in the world is a mirror of how we treat ourselves. I also start to become more aware of my thoughts, how I can harness them positively without ignoring and dismissing my feelings, as brain training can also be a risk. As other people have said I too like all your interviews. They give me hope to get better myself, my experiences are becoming more a shared experience and they give me ideas. Thank you! and you look so healthy, that too is good to see.

Another point: Post Exertional Malaise is *now* the main diagnostic criteria for ME, so if someone has fatigue but not PEM, then they don't have ME! That's another reason for recovery: they didn't have it in the first place (ie they had a *temporary* bout of fatigue, not a permanent one & often *rest* allows folks to cover from this type of fatigue, most often caused by *overdoing things or a busy/ stressful lifestyle* akin more to *adrenal fatigue/ exhaustion* rather than ME/ CFS/ long covid. Temporary can often be 3 to 4 years rather than the arbitrary 6 months the doctors state is temporary). There are a lot of possibilities that many folks (especially doctors & patients) don't consider or aren't *aware* of🙏

The reason that lab results of long covid patients come back normal is because most patients can only do bloodwork which shows only a part of your health, if you really want to know whats going on inside the cells more specialized tests are required. The big labs are already seeing that there are a lot of weird biomarkers in long covid patients but cannot find the cause yet unfortunately, there ate a lot of hints that mitochondrial dysregulstion (which controls the nervous system) plays a big part.

I developed varicose veins and venous insufficiency after COVID even though I have none of the risk factors. Covid has been found to damage the endothelial cells that line the vein walls, causing actual damage. I would see this as “being broken”. Do these same concepts you’re speaking about apply to those of us with actual damage to our bodies or does this only apply to people who had much milder cases of what they think is long Covid? My tests aren’t “coming back fine with a clean bill of health.” I have ultrasound proof of vein wall/valve damage. I have endoscopic ultrasound proof of chronic gastritis, gallbladder sludge, and pancreatic hyperechogenicity in my pancreatic duct. I have AMA in my blood work which points to a liver autoimmune disease. I went from being completely healthy to having actual evidence showing up on tests that show my body is being physical damaged and changed after Covid with no other explanation. Does any of this advice apply to me? Can I heal? Or am I actually broken?😢

Thanks! One year after I got covid initially I am still dealing with symptoms and I do recognize much of what I have so far found to be effective in what you share here. Although the intensity of some of my symptoms (like dizziness, palpitations) has significantly decreased, I am generally feeling so much weaker, more tired and also more anxious about everything than I was a year ago. Dealing with this on top of another chronic health condition has really worn me out. I do try to work on the fears, and if I look at things objectively I can see that most of the time when I do go out I feel pretty ok, yet there are still experiences when I go for a cup of tea with a friend or something and I do start feeling unwell, dizzy, shortness of breath... and this then brings back the fear and sort of proves me that it is not just an irrational fear. Finding this very difficult to handle at the moment. I am curious also if anybody recognizes that entering into a building/cafe/other specific space somehow triggers the symptoms? As if there is something in the change of air that my body has difficulty adjusting to. There are specific locations that tend to trigger this especially strongly for me and I can't relate that to anxiety or anything like that. I'm glad there are success stories out there and thank you for sharing, I was starting to feel quite desperate at this point so this helps to find back my courage!

I agree with everything except leaving out emotional repression and limiting beliefs. Rebecca Tolin, who is mentioned, healed in the Dr. Sarno method and one key thing about his method is acknowledging and feeling emotions in the body that we have suppressed and repressed. Along with working on emotional repression is seeing where we are operating from "not good enough" etc. Why are people overachievers or people pleasers to the point they sacrifice their wellbeing? It is because during childhood that was their coping mechanism to get out of the feeling of not good enough. The best way to be is to know we are good enough and do things out of choice and not out of fear of not being good enough.

An excellent summation and simplification of what it is to go through MECFS. It all boils down to the fact that our Autonomic Nervous System has gone out of whack. When that happens it produces the variety of symptoms that occur....and they're all different for everyone!!! That's why the typical American doctor, who is not trained to recognize MECFS, has no clue of what's going on!!! Since I have been going through my own process of healing, even my Raynaud's Syndrome has gone away!! Thanks again for your channel and all your insight. I especially liked your interview with Dr. Myhill. In the meantime, I have read some books about the brain. My favorite one was entitled Neuroscience and the Fruit of the Spirit by Bryan Spoon.

I was thinking about this last night after I commented and wondering what help I would want if I had a sister who cared. One of the hardest things about this disease is that any treatment is not from doctors and is self discovered. It’s hard to know what will actually work. I have spent thousands (probabaly in the ten thousands) over the years trying different things. I no longer want to invest more money when nothing is guaranteed. I get so frustrated by people like this who say they have the answers and then charge vulnerable people money. If my sister offered to not only pay but also take the time to help me go through the course slowly and try it, that is what would help the most. I realize your sister may not want your help, but if my sister came with a completely nonjudgmental attitude and offered true help, it would mean the world to me.

Here’s a great story I heard that could help: there was a major hurricane that hit an area and the flooding was rising. The mans home had water filling up the ground level. Some rescuers came past to warn that he must evacuate but he said it’s okay, God will save me. When the water level rose higher he climbed onto the roof of the house, a helicopter flew past and let down a rope, but he didn’t take it saying he didn’t need mans help, God will save me. When the water rose above roof level the man drowned. On arriving in heaven he asked God, why did you forsake me? God said, I sent you a warning, a boat, and a helicopter. Why did you not listen? God’s work is done in many ways. He speaks to us through different mediums and signs. It’s our job to listen. When your sister is ready she will hear. But not all of Gods work are big miraculous healings where you just wake up better one day. They are people listening to the signs, following his guidance and taking action on it. Every single person who recovered following this video did so because they found this video out of millions of online videos. I hope your sister finds the guidance she needs. ✨ 🌸

My brain is perpetually expressing a lack of safety. This is likely due to two things: childhood emotional neglect & trauma, and long covid (when I had covid, I experienced my brain having panic responses I had never experienced, like they were in a part of my brain that I was not used to experiencing them in). Those responses have continued to the present day. It's been over a year. Meanwhile, my childhood trauma has exploded open. I will be getting my gut checked, but....I don't see how people can be 50% better after a day. I also don't see how people with my symptom set can recover quickly. My nervous system, for two big reasons, has been stuck in fight or flight. I do brain retraining (self-taught with a book) and work to calm my nervous system almost every second of every day, because that is the requirement, when your system is in fight or flight. I am cultivating a different outlook, but, right now, I don't see how I would be one of the people for whom it would take only weeks.
