Tongue Pulling For Neck Pain

[@MaryTheMuse]

Holy moly! How many people have I gone to, to help with this mystery ear, throat face, neck, head pain on my right side? Very many. My right nostril tends to close up more than my left nostril. When I held my Kyphotic head in a straighter position, tucking my chin a bit to keep it straight, and pulled my tongue to the left, I heard a crackle sound on my right ear, felt a stretch where I usually get throat pain on my right side, and I noticed that my right nostril opened up, air flowing freely! Amazing! Thank you!😊

[@l.g.6098]

Amazing! 🎉

[@stopchasingpain]

Fantastic. So happy it helped. Well done. Tongue is powerful for sure. ❤️

[@BL-qk3ub]

I have a swollen, scalloped tongue (with the ridges) and was told that the cause is my Hashimoto’s. After doing the exercises, my breathing actually instantly improved! WOW! It’s more natural, incorporating my diaphragm, and not forced or shallow like it usually is. I’m hoping to see other positive changes like with my forward head posture. Working on my tongue positioning as well. I love ALL your content!! ❤Thank you!!

[@stopchasingpain]

Fantastic. Well done. So glad it helped.

[@KalakoFala-vy9ry]

I did the tongue pull last night and I'm having a profound emotional release today. I consider this a good thing as I'm going through detox but I never would have guessed something so simple could be this effective. Thanks for sharing your experience Dr. P.

[@monicab8176]

That’s awesome! Thank you for posting this !

[@temptouchllc7395]

This emotional response is common when you do "mouth work." Most of us hold a lot of emotions in our tongue, scm, jaw, etc. Once it starts releasing all of thar you will feel much better. It may even boost your confidence to "speak your truth."

[@sjepeto]

How was your emotional release like? what did you experience?

[@KalakoFala-vy9ry]

I cried for 5 hours straight. I could not stop. Deep deep sorrow. Fatigue depression all that. The feelings leveled out that evening.

[@KalakoFala-vy9ry]

Two weeks later. Wow. Still doing 1 tongue pull per day and I realize this is an area I completely missed in 5 years of treating Bartonella and Lyme. Drain the head and neck and get the blood flowing to the brain again. Also, osteopathic craniosacral therapy is also profoundly helpful for draining this area and restoring blood/lymph/glymph flow.

[@carlawest9915]

My tongue has had the same symptoms that yours did (swollen, ridged, white coating) for 30 years. Since i took your lymph workshop 5 weeks ago, most of these symtpoms have disappeared! I just tried this technique and when i pull on my tongue, i get pain underneath where my thumb is resting. Im looking forward to further clearing my fish tank of sludge 😊

Fantastic. Well done. Great job. Keep at it

TCM-Dr says "brain fog" is not in the brain only because we think we feel it there, but in my casefrom the liver qi stagnation, Gall bladder clogfging., if I remember correctly. Coin-blood due to chronic strong stress.

I thought that “ large tongue” with indentation is a symptom of under active thyroid….. This is very interesting information, I experienced all those injuries you mentioned in this video, also loss of consciousness and terrible falls. Definitely will try those tongue pulling. Thank you.

[@stopchasingpain]

There's more than one reason you can have a swollen tongue.

[@Roaster1987N]

Hey Doc, i will teach you something today. You are super aware of your own body and your tongue. I want you to observe your tongue and its shape when you drink out of a bottle. Try first with your left hand and then try with the right hand. Tell me if you can observe the change that is in your tongue. Ill post this on Instagram also in case you miss it. 🙌 and i also had another observation, last year when i did a facial massage for my lymphatic system about 5-8 days later i got an eye stye. Thought much of it and why ot happened. 3 weeks ago i gave my wife a lymphatic massage in her face and body, guess what she got 7 days later. A eye stye. So you are 100% correct, and its profound to be able to have my own observations over the past 15 years with all the issues and seeing where they came from. the MIND! As a inner peace therapist i will say this, you can fix the mind. But if the body does not follow then you will only chase pain. Amd vice versa 😂

I started doing the tounge roll from another video, out of curiosity. Didn't think much about it until suddenly my lower back pain suddenly was gone! It's been so bad I've had troubles breathing properly because of the pain. And it's been really hard dealing with for almost a year. Really, it's so amazing... and now I keep doing them almost every day, but can I reduce to maybe a few times a week?

FYI 0:30 you just said you had Autoimmune disease???? I was told this.. but I’m changing the way I say it. Due to so many titles atm. I can’t keep up… So , I’ve experienced autoimmune.. issues for a small while.. I’m trying to sort it out myself. I see it’s a traumatic response to a past experience. However fixing it won’t happen unless I can sleep in my bed. When I lay down no matter the direction or style .. I GET PIN AMD NEEDLES IN MY ARMS AND NUMBNESS ON SOULS OF FEET. I never knew that having a body part go numb could be really painful . But then later on it’s hot or ice cold. Then coming out of that process & in the middle of coming back to normal .. I can’t move at all till it passes. I’ve gone to walk and fallen str8 to floor. So now I find myself waking up in strange places asleep . Eg: opening fridge door to get ("? Or asleep with Head in freezer. So far from Normal & was funny first time, now I get so mad at self. I go to bed at 5-6 am with the pillows all around propping me up. B4 then I have to keep busy working around the house . Otherwise I’m just a Lazy bum that my Parents abandoned when I needed them the most. When mum added say last year. I’m still trying to process so many stages in that time. Between the lies told and influenced upon, the blame put on me for whatever went wrong in a day . Anyways that’s All shitful info on how I am where I’m at today. Legs are so Sore from standing or something close to that. But it hurts to sit also.. in my hips. Feels like the hips are being pulled out to the sides. I’ve tried so many places for answers. Maybe this essay will find u and I may get the answer I’m SEEKING !! Thanks in advance if u can help . I had a partial Hysterectomy in 2018! TMI BUT all factors .. Pls help if ur able to Sir

Could I ask you how you got your DNA to mutate back to normal from your autoimmune diseases?

[@louisejoel]

It's more likely his immune system was in fact weak and he's improved it by movement etc. The symptoms of immune deficiency are similar to autoimmunity because the result is inflammation. I do know people with diagnosed autoimmune diseases who have made subtle improvements through lifestyle changes (but not been cured). For example people with coeliac improve dramatically with reduction of wheat. That is a known environmental link to autoimmune disease. Most of the others are not well understood to date.

[@smiswilson]

How did you clear your body of the systemic yeast?

[@ReneeKnightYogaRani]

The only way is to go on a Candida diet, which starts with an elimination of many foods & then slowly adding things back to see what you should avoid eating.

[@jches830]

There’s a book called ‘the fungal link’ by Doug Kaufman. You can also google his anti fungal diet and you should find a pdf online. Another book is ‘how to eat move and be healthy’ by Paul Chek. At the very end of the book he talks about what to do to heal fungal and parasite infections.

[@ReneeKnightYogaRani]

@@jches830 these are both based on the candida diet which was developed by Canadian doctor Carolyn Dean. Carolyn was making people well with her Cantina diet in Canada and the government raised her office, her files…, and ran her out of Canada because she was making her patience.
