She’s a great guest! She fully understands and articulates the mind- body connection and how it can affect the body
Emotion work has been key for me in my recovery!
NAC + Bromelain (and Nattokinase) for spike protein detox. Just like a car accident, or chronic long-term relentlees stress, a virus triggers the stress response and one is then living in the sympathetic nervous system which depletes everything. Your executive function (pre-fontal coretx) is taken over by the mid-brain. Calm the stress response, look to emotions and changing lifetstyle. The body needs to feel safe again. One has to believe they will get better! Brain retraining, EFT etc etc...
Maybe NAC decrease blood viscousity, increased by some IgM cryoglobuline ?
for the people who dont understand. repressed emotion leads our body to produce lot of cortisol and so and...that are very bad for our bodys. lot of stress.. it makes tat the body get illnesses. if you try to aolvw the emotions and so on..thw bidy can relax more...and the immunsystem will get better again
Thanks for having me on the podcast Harry, it was really enjoyable to chat with you!
It was a pleasure! Thanks so much for sharing!
You’re very well spoken and your understanding of this approach is wonderful ❤
@@harryboby7563can you tell me some if the exercises or steps you did daily that worked well for you? Thanks
You’re right, it’s usually impossible to be clinically validated… which can lead others to doubt the severity of the experience. Spending thousands on tests and nothing is clinically obvious can be devastating as we search endlessly for answers. I believe the limbic system is key to understanding and healing so many dis-eases! We’re truly the unsung heroes of our own stories. It can hurt to be unseen or misunderstood… but I hope sufferers find strength in knowing that they themselves must be their primary healer and they should understand that most loved ones will not understand unless they’ve experienced it themselves. It’s a lonely journey but it can lead us to our strongest, best selves.
as some one who feels really stuck where I am right now, and was previously very social and active this brings me a lot of hope and makes me feel seen, thanks for this interview. It is making me realize that this is maybe a wakeup call for thought patterns and ways I being I have been practicing for years before
Thanks for the comment Katherine, hopefully it provided some food for thought.
I'm a fellow long-covider, and I think a lot of the critical opinions here about this approach are missing a fundamental understanding of the ideas behind it. The nervous system is capable of producing or contributing to all the very real symptoms and markers and physiological sensations we have. They're not in themselves mental or psychological or imagined. So far we all agree. That said, there are many factors that can influence the nervous system - physiological (eg. medications), mental (eg. brain-retraining) - and also repressed emotions. This is one way to enter and influence the nervous system and allow it to relax and for some people it's actually a way that really does work.
For sure, its certainly important to distinguish from those who dismiss these illnesses as psychosomatic. Also being aware that they present very heterogeneously, and may not be the 'full' answer for everyone. My mission is to share as many perspectives, and people can take what they find useful from these different approaches.
@@harryboby7563 I'm gonna be a bit of a stickler for detail and definition here, but I'm a therapist, also working in a clinical setting, so I feel obliged to do so 🙂Our chronic states do fall into the psychosomatic category in its true sense - something that involves both psyche (psycho) & body (soma). Sensations are real and not imagined in all psychosomatic illnesses - the headache, the nausea, the rash, whatever it is, is really there, just like the sensations we have. In them too, no physiological damage was found. In everyday use the word psychosomatic is often used in a degrading manner to say someone's feeling something that's unreal - but the sensations are indeed very real.
Totally agree. I'm also a therapist. Psychosomatic is not a bad word in my world
When i can't find my car keys, it isn't because they don't exist, it's because I'm not good enough at looking for them.
When you have a physiological problem that can't be explained physiologically, it isn't because it isn't physiological, "it's in your head", it's because the doctors aren't good enough at looking/understanding the physiological problem.
Thanks for sharing again. It is appreciated 👍
My pleasure!
What is most stressful is how bloody corrupt it is, both the spike and covid changes alot in the body. During the pandemic you could`t avoid news, how dangerous, how many died etc, and now when some of us feel bad, post Pandemic, all silent and doctors think its all imagenation. Soo odd.
Thank you for bringing on this guest but I do think this is much more than a question of label and to call it long covid when it's not long covid is an error. IT'S a big error because there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people with long covid and they will be scanning the web every day to try to figure out how to deal with it. Her symptoms are straight up chronic fatigue syndrome and I think it's really sad that her doctor had told her that the recovery rate is really low. I think her doctors in error which is not new. Doctors r they're just human beings with a 50/50 chance of getting it right although with doctors I think it gets worse --more like a 25/75 chance of getting it right because they read something that they've never done primary research on.
This woman fits straight up the profile for chronic fatigue syndrome: she's an educated white high achieving upper middle class gal. And So It goes. I do not think she has long covid. I do not think she ever had long covid & I don't even know if she had covid cuz her symptoms don't match with covid. I think it's disingenuous for her to say it's long covid or for you to say that because it's not and that misleads people who are suffering greatly from truly having had serious covid and suffering now long covid.
Anyway I don't think I'll listen anymore because it's just not what I thought it was supposed to be because it's not long covid. I am glad she read that book and realized she needed emotional reset and that it has worked.
I was excited to watch this video initially. But I’m profoundly disappointed at the basic premise which comes across as self blame. It’s patently absurd to assume that millions of people are experiencing long covid due to repressed emotions. Give me a break. There are related theories that talk about cell danger response or the like that may make sense. And I’ll buy that individuals with certain histories or personality traits may be more susceptible to LC. But the idea that LC and recovery from it is purely dependent upon one’s emotional state is profoundly harmful to people still challenged by LC.
It’s wonderful to explore potential healing treatments and methodologies. But promoting emotional repression as the main cause/treatment around LC is so very damaging. You should be ashamed of promoting this.
Such poor judgement.
Lc is not repressed guilt or whatever she put it down to. There are genuine markers for it, and ive tested posiitve for some of them. Maybe she got her gut brain axis working correctly again with diet and suppllements and didn't realise it , but it sure as hell was not down to her other interventions
@@swyllie30 exactly I've been getting great results from 5HTP
I have long covid and don't know what to do, can you give me some advice please
@@swyllie30 I've tried amino acids and 5htp hasn't fully resolved my LC!
