I listened to Dr John Sarnos You Tube lecture video 2 hour and 18 min . Three times in one week, accepted it was true for me also, and immediately I had a vast improvement . That was in Jan 2024, it's now May and I'm feeling 90% recovered. In the process though, I'm learning to take better care of me, instead of taking care of everyone else, slow down the pace that I have been living all my life. I'm a new me, setting new boundaries on people's expectations of me and my time. I have had to learn to stand up for me for the first time in my life and be kind to myself. Everything I learned as a child that made me feel valued was not true.
OMG, I am listening to him now and it is like Mr.Rogers is telling me everything is ok and I am so happy! Thanks hun! The more we learn and accept the better we get!
@tanyawieczorek6603 I have utilized the suggestions of Raelan and also Gemma of Healthy Gems (or Healing Gems) and it is a process; meaning one has to do the meditations the way they recommend. And, just yesterday from a LC Support Group, I learned one more trick and is Vagus Nerve exercises. Everything put together, I feel like I'm 95% back to normal. I need to point out that it's been a complete lifestyle change as I've gone along. What about you?
What you said about age being a factor in recovering from these mind/body symptoms really hit home with me. I'm 64 years old and have had ME/CFS since I was 17. I've heard this before about how age effects recovery but I looked at it like I couldn't recover because of my age. Watching this video, I realized I now see it as very doable, it's just taking longer, in large part probably because of my age. I've been in therapy, doing somatic tracking and meditation for 2 years or so. I feel like I'm finally coming out of the chronic fight, flight, freeze state I was in, which gives me a lot of hope for my recovery! You're doing such great work Raelan! I wish you continued success in doing what appears to be something you really enjoy!
Remember our symtoms quite often rotate in and out. I look at our recovery as it works in circles rather than a straight line. Progress is progress, change is change. Don't feel defeated if anything returns, its just part of the rotate and the transition through stages ❤❤
I love this- video recoveries. To me I frequently think of “overriding” my brain rather than rewiring it. And videos help do this- they help my brain think in the right way, instead of old unhelpful patterns.
I’ve actually had experienced overnight recovery from multiple joint pains and overall body pains, just one morning I didn’t need painkillers anymore. Unfortunately CFS won’t go away yet, but at least this event gives some confidence and hope
You can't cure CFS with brain retraining. If Ralaen has a cure why not put it out for FREE instead of charging people. Just give people every detail about the program.
@ nope. For 6 months I had to take strong painkiller at least once in 24-36 hours. And one morning it was just gone as if it was never there. CFS symptoms are decaying but not as fast as I’d like them to
@ not really. Just taking it easy. Can’t even return to daily yoga. But overall situation is not too bad, just productivity is around of 1/3 compared to before. Just doing less stuff and slower than usual
It’s important to note that Nick was not completely better after he cut down the tree. There’s a lot more to his story. Rebecca Tolin had a good interview with Nick where he goes into the details. Rebecca herself had a similar experience where she had a rapid temporary recovery after hearing someone tell her what was going on, but then she had many more months where she had to retrain her brain to get completely better. So I don’t really think these book cures are very often, if ever, immediate. I myself can attest to having days where I have almost 0 symptoms, and I have learned that this process is not linear. That being said pattern interrupting is by far my greatest tool for retraining, the brain.yesterday I had more energy than I have had in a very long time and it was all because I danced all day saying songs all day started to work out again like a normal person and I just had zero fear. Today I’m a little bit more tired, but I’m doing the pattern interrupting.
I would live to understand this concept better. I tried to research it but it only came up in relation to making sales. If you see this message, maybe you could point me to a resource. Thanks!
Christmas Eve I was throwing up from nerves and could hardly walk and then I said "NO" and put music on, my favorites, and danced like a fool and the next day Christmas I had ABSOULITLY no symptoms all day and thought I was healed! Not so fast BUT it is proof to me and my husband that it is possible to be 100% in the future now!
After being bed bound 3 tears, I did DNRS and in 4 days I walked a football field. Now I am not saying it was easy nor did I heal overnight but it was the proof I needed to recover from POTS and a lot of other symptoms.YES, it can happen that fast IF you really believe so strongly that you are not your body and YOU are in control and make up your mind with such strong conviction that the brain pays more attention to that new empowered emotion than the trauma that got you there.
How did you get to a place where you so strongly believed. I do believe but i guess i would say some days im stronger in mind than other's. Any suggestions.i noticed listening to brain retraining helps strengthen my belief, maybe i should make a habit out of it daily...i have 3 young children so it doesnt always happen aside from my rounds etc.
@@slee7991 Yes consistency is the key. Feeling like it and acting like it leads to being it. This is what trains your brain to believe that it is really safe. What would you do to make your children feel like they were safe? This is what you have to do every day.
There's a lot more going on in ME/CFS than just the ANS dysfunction. And a lot of the other stuff feeds back into the ANS dysfunction too, particularly if people have been ill a while. Not that we shouldn't practice neuroplasicity, but it is important to be realistic about all the factors in this illness.
Fantastic overview of brain training! Do you have any RUclipss with recommendations on Brain Training Programs you have actually used or programs you would recommend? Thanks 😊
Wow! You link to so much great stuff here (I've just watched the first Howard Schubiner video) Raelan, you really are the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you ❤
@@RaelanAgle Sure thing. I've just finished Dr Rebecca Kennedy's live group course, which I saw her mention in her interview with you and which is based on his model. She is fantastic!
This sounds interesting, but is based on the presumption that nothing is wrong in your body. In long-covid-patients there are found all kind of physical things that are wrong with the body, like microclots, too much inflammation and metabolic dysfunction of cells. So to me it sounds a bit too simplistic to recover by just teaching your brain to ignore certain signals. I think it could be only part of the problem/solution at most.
Well, Raelan, you react on allmost all the reactions but not on this one. Are you afraid of questions like this? Are you afraid that it is bad for your businessmodel?
My thoughts exactly. I can imagine that the brain is one factor. And I‘m sure it makes matters worse that with Long Covid we constantly have to monitor: „Is this too much? Remember the crash after the last walk!“ - sort of whispering failure into our thoughts. But if something is wrong in your body, brain-retraining will only get you a few steps of the way. I also dislike that if we do crash again, apparently we didn‘t retrain the brain enough - when it was actually something physical that happened. In a Long Covid Reddit thread someone said that MS shares the same history as ME/CFS/Long Covid: people were told to retrain their minds, to lower stress etc to be healthy again. Which actually does help with MS, but it doesn‘t change the underlying illness.
@@NinaKatharinaWeberScientists have fairly recently found that there is something very wrong in the mitochondria of cells in ME patients, . It's PHYSICAL, folks. It seems that the original virus that caused ME, caused the immune system to overreact. Similar to the symptoms in early COVID patients. In essence, this Chyto Storm damages the cell function. The mitochondria in the cells. It's like being in a car crash, on a cellular level. The cells can no longer function properly. That is why, depending on the damage, some ME patients never recover. 70 per cent of me patients DO naturally recover, over months or years. I have no idea the part Brain Retraining can play under these circumstances.
Is the limbic system producing the symptom? or is the the limbic system overreacting to the symptoms that are produced in the body. It's really confusing. So is the check engine light the limbic system telling you to freak out about the symptoms, or is the check engine light the limbic system producing the symptoms?
Thanks Raelan, a great video, gives such a clear concise understanding of brain training and makes it easy to explain to others too. Every video I watch I seem to learn something new, including mental note to myself not to glue my fingers together
I don’t feel “under threat” snd I’m not fearful of excercise. I do some walking often for a hr but it always feels like climbing mt Everest snd the fatigue never goes away. I have never had a remission from fatigue. So telling my brain I’m safe I’m not sure woukd be helpful. Am I missing something?
Same for me in the beginning. But I had a lot of fears and uncertainty about life and direction, and it makes total sense to me that my brain would say, “ok then we’ll make walking in any direction hard” in a literal way. This has been the case with other things I didn’t think I was afraid of or experience certain emotions when I did some deeper reflection, there were underlying wounds, traumas or beliefs from them that I still carried (and am working on changing a few now). Of course, there can be other issues like in my case, some bloodwork came back with abnormal results. They have since stabilized, so the rest from here is all the mind and brain.
@@AnrupB i see…I think I have had severe life events that were not typical that were stressful and physical stressors and traumas like Lyme… it all added up and then my body just gave up. Maybe cell danger response? I suppose I can rewire for these things?
Be very carefull! It is not recomended for people with PEM to push the limit; it will make the long covid much worse. It is allso not true that nothing is wrong with the bodyś of long covid patients; they found all kinds of things like microclots, inflammation in the brain, differences in cell-metabolism. It is dangerous to ignore your symptoms. This braintraining may be working for some people, but is not a golden method for evrybody. Don forget that Raelan is making money of the hope of people ....
So “ this old dog” is really going for it. I might be older but I know my brain can change quite easily from experience. So my family left for Peru this morning 🥲so rather than be sad and eat chocolate whilst watching Netflix I’m going to take the opportunity of only cooking if I want and limited housework and maximum joy to the enth degree.💃💃 I’m sure I can improve during the three weeks they are away , just don’t ask me to ride a “ backwards” bike as that would end really bad, lack of coordination here 🤕🤕🤕
How woukd you explain what is happening with medication withdrawal from concerta? I'm 13 months off I did cold turkey. Inhave this thing where I can't be friends with others on meds because I believe they are harmful.
I'm getting so much out of your channel. I came across it YEARS ago but I don't think you'd started the recovery story interviews yet or I just hadn't found them. Thank you SO much for doing this!!!! 🙏
I do believe in brain retraining now thanks to yours and others research. Thank you. However, I also feel there is more going on and there are likely many forms of ME/CFS
Summary Neuroplasticity Our brains don't just build their connections during childhood and then remain fixed. The brain can rewire and repair itself even in old age. There is no point where you are too old for the brain to rewire itself. So new pathways are created on the things we do on a daily basis. If we do more math, then our brains rewires itself more towards math, if we do languages, our brain wires itself towards that. Neurophisology Pain and other sensations don#t happen where we feel them. They happen in the brain. The autonomous nervous system is in part responsible for turning symptoms off and on. Because symptoms are just a extra strong signal to warn the body of danger. Example: Cut yourself on a sharp corner. -> Pain -> brain telling us, not do that again. But there can be errors. When the "Check the Enginge" lamp is burning in your car but the enginge is fine. Then the lamp might be the problem or the connection to the lamp. Getting Stuck So the Autonomous nervous system might be stuck in the alarm mode. So the symptoms are real. The issue is that the danger is long over (this also happens in depression and PTBS or in amputees with phantom pain) So in long covid our brain can get stuck in the danger zone and tell us that leaving the house is danger, that excercising is danger and will cause symptoms as warning signals that we have to stop that. How long takes rewiring a brain. In an experiment where a person glued 2 fingers together and observed how quickly the brain structure could build new connections to reflect the new bodily reality. [Source: www.amazon.com/Secrets-Brain-Season-1/dp/B09H5S7T1B]. They found out that first changes occured within 24h. This does not mean that all necessary changes occured. It is recommended that you try out the practice for 30 days every day and then evaluate the effect on you. There are circumstances that can slow down or speed up the process: ○ Age: the younger we are the quicker the brain adapts § Try to teach a child juggling and an adult. The child is vastly quicker § Emotional state: The calmer the quicker the brain can adapt. It will still happen when the optimal conditions are not met, but it will take longer.
Raelen, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your channel and what you’re doing. There have been many AHA!! moments listening to you and your many guests. My sudden adrenal fatigue and fibromyalgia came on after I unknowingly stressed my body for years (long term carnivore-what a mistake. Your gut NEEDS fiber!!) too much exercise and a severe traumatic event, along with childhood trauma and boom! I was taken out. All of a sudden I couldn’t do anything! I have fixed the diet. (Eat ALL of God’s foods - no man made garbage) I quit caffeine and am focusing on rest & recovery. I know that Jesus will heal me, and He’s using you to help people. Thank you.
I got gene testing done and turns out I have double mthfr so dont absorb folate B9 well. This has a load of knockon effects eg for energy and neurotransmitters. But this didnt show up in regular NHS blood tests apart from mild macrocytosis (blood / oxygen issue). So I think its a reasonable idea to get gene testing if you can afford it, so you can address or remedy any issues. Eg I take methyl folate now. I told my gp and she had never heard of mthfr. I guess gps dont get trained in metabolism issues much.
Hola! Please aside from of the short course you have, consider an intensive brain retraining program like DNRS. I strongly believe you can make it a FUN, EXCITING, challenge that's never been done w/ your very own "steps" (literally, both GUPTA and ANNIE created steps). You have all it takes! Please have it be an online program we can watch on the computer or via cell phone (computer for me). Give us the newest neuroplasticity book titles to read, steps to do, humor and bring in your puppy! take care and thanks for all you do.
I faithfully did brain retraining for 9 months. My doctor and psychologist recommended it. My coach told me I was doing it correctly and it was going along. I had not one single symptom relieved . . . ever! Finally, my psychologist and doctor told me that they did not think my brain was the issue. In addition to the ME/CFS I was diagnosed recently with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is genetic.
The idea is not to relieve symptoms but to shift nervous system states. That will eventually lower symptoms. But if you're doing it trying to get rid of symptoms specifically, that tells your brain the symptoms themselves are dangerous which signals more danger to the brain, dysregulation and keeps them around. You may also have threats around you that your body is responding to that you are not consciously aware of so it didn't "take"
@@B3l0v3d05But ME\CFS is due to damaged mitochondria, deep in the cells. Brain retraining will help you to come to terms with your new condition. It won't make an iota of difference to the symptoms themselves.

However, I also feel there is more going on and there are likely many forms of ME/CFS
Do you think brain structure changes from psychiatric drugs? It must in my opinion. And it must take a long time for restructure
Brain training for CFS, is it to reprogramm that "I am healing" - instead of focusing what I cannot do? Did I unstand correctly?
What did you figure out about this?
Hello… I wanted to know if the courses are only in English? Or can they have subtitles in Spanish?
Summary
Neuroplasticity
Our brains don't just build their connections during childhood and then remain fixed. The brain can rewire and repair itself even in old age. There is no point where you are too old for the brain to rewire itself.
So new pathways are created on the things we do on a daily basis. If we do more math, then our brains rewires itself more towards math, if we do languages, our brain wires itself towards that.
Neurophisology
Pain and other sensations don#t happen where we feel them. They happen in the brain. The autonomous nervous system is in part responsible for turning symptoms off and on. Because symptoms are just a extra strong signal to warn the body of danger.
Example: Cut yourself on a sharp corner. -> Pain -> brain telling us, not do that again.
But there can be errors.
When the "Check the Enginge" lamp is burning in your car but the enginge is fine. Then the lamp might be the problem or the connection to the lamp.
Getting Stuck
So the Autonomous nervous system might be stuck in the alarm mode. So the symptoms are real. The issue is that the danger is long over (this also happens in depression and PTBS or in amputees with phantom pain)
So in long covid our brain can get stuck in the danger zone and tell us that leaving the house is danger, that excercising is danger and will cause symptoms as warning signals that we have to stop that.
How long takes rewiring a brain.
In an experiment where a person glued 2 fingers together and observed how quickly the brain structure could build new connections to reflect the new bodily reality. [Source: www.amazon.com/Secrets-Brain-Season-1/dp/B09H5S7T1B]. They found out that first changes occured within 24h. This does not mean that all necessary changes occured. It is recommended that you try out the practice for 30 days every day and then evaluate the effect on you.
There are circumstances that can slow down or speed up the process:
○ Age: the younger we are the quicker the brain adapts
§ Try to teach a child juggling and an adult. The child is vastly quicker
§ Emotional state: The calmer the quicker the brain can adapt.
It will still happen when the optimal conditions are not met, but it will take longer.
quantum jumping, look into that to challenge skepticism further
Would you recommend any type of food?
In conclusion, what's the answer to healing faster? Is the Gupta program the main thing to do here?
By the way, I am 50 years old. So age is really not a restriction.
Raelen, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your channel and what you’re doing. There have been many AHA!! moments listening to you and your many guests. My sudden adrenal fatigue and fibromyalgia came on after I unknowingly stressed my body for years (long term carnivore-what a mistake. Your gut NEEDS fiber!!) too much exercise and a severe traumatic event, along with childhood trauma and boom! I was taken out. All of a sudden I couldn’t do anything! I have fixed the diet. (Eat ALL of God’s foods - no man made garbage) I quit caffeine and am focusing on rest & recovery. I know that Jesus will heal me, and He’s using you to help people. Thank you.
I got gene testing done and turns out I have double mthfr so dont absorb folate B9 well. This has a load of knockon effects eg for energy and neurotransmitters. But this didnt show up in regular NHS blood tests apart from mild macrocytosis (blood / oxygen issue). So I think its a reasonable idea to get gene testing if you can afford it, so you can address or remedy any issues. Eg I take methyl folate now. I told my gp and she had never heard of mthfr. I guess gps dont get trained in metabolism issues much.
Hola! Please aside from of the short course you have, consider an intensive brain retraining program like DNRS. I strongly believe you can make it a FUN, EXCITING, challenge that's never been done w/ your very own "steps" (literally, both GUPTA and ANNIE created steps). You have all it takes! Please have it be an online program we can watch on the computer or via cell phone (computer for me). Give us the newest neuroplasticity book titles to read, steps to do, humor and bring in your puppy! take care and thanks for all you do.
Let me go find that book I put on the shelf. Are you getting younger or are my eyes getting older?
I faithfully did brain retraining for 9 months. My doctor and psychologist recommended it. My coach told me I was doing it correctly and it was going along. I had not one single symptom relieved . . . ever! Finally, my psychologist and doctor told me that they did not think my brain was the issue. In addition to the ME/CFS I was diagnosed recently with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is genetic.
So you saying Ed isn't from brain ir stress? So no symptoms better?
@@joanneclark8256CFS\ME isn't stress induced. It's damage to cell mitochondria, on a very deep level.
@@joanneclark8256Neither is ME stress induced.
The idea is not to relieve symptoms but to shift nervous system states. That will eventually lower symptoms. But if you're doing it trying to get rid of symptoms specifically, that tells your brain the symptoms themselves are dangerous which signals more danger to the brain, dysregulation and keeps them around. You may also have threats around you that your body is responding to that you are not consciously aware of so it didn't "take"
@@B3l0v3d05But ME\CFS is due to damaged mitochondria, deep in the cells. Brain retraining will help you to come to terms with your new condition. It won't make an iota of difference to the symptoms themselves.
Does Consciousness exist in the Body or is the Body part of Consciousness? #2 is correct and Consciousness can change anything.
Omg just talking about the goggles made me feel dizzy! 😂🤪
Too many ads ugg
Her ‘claw hand’ motions are distracting and annoying, moved video away. Then still had to leave because of unnecessary word salads. Need to edit this for clarity.
