    I am a 59 year old Hispanic male. I suffer from trauma. You are a Godsend. I continue to get more useful information to understand my trauma from you than I have received from any MD or Therapist. Sometimes the clinical info you share is over my head.
    But, I’m pretty smart.
    Through repetition and multiple viewing of your videos, I eventually start processing and understanding what you are sharing. You are a breath of fresh air, helping me understand my full spectrum of lifelong trauma. I wish I had known you and the info you effectively share over 50+ years ago. Eternally grateful.

      Wishing you're supported in this and have been able to continue on your way to full well-being. I figure someone who can actually study, understand, and apply information like this -let alone in possibly not native language- has got to be pretty smart.
      I don't know what all you're working with, but generational trauma and trying to heal systemic made trauma, can be especially tricky because it's not really possible to remove oneself from the situation. This is under acknowledged in most mental health fields.
      There are a few other channels on here that I think are especially helpful for hands on understanding and applying. If you're looking for more resources I'm happy to share.
      Either way, best of fortune to you in your continued way to where you're wanting to be.

      Me too Joe, but I’d like to check out more about the courses that this channel are running… Only obstacle I have to doing that, is that I’ve sustained short term memory loss from trauma and anxiety, so I can’t remember any new information. It’s quite frustrating, as I’ve lost the ability to spell; articulate and my vocabulary is down to basic words… Trying to live a stress free life in order to heal, is near impossible in this age we’re living in. I’d love to go bush to get away, but that’s near impossible as well… This is not a sob story, as I’m actually a positive person.
      I hope all goes well with you, and that you find peace as you walk through this life.
      God bless 🙏

    Your presentation skills, and what you present are exceptional. I worked for years for criminal BigPharma pushing sometimes deadly prescription products which physicians love because they're really poorly educated, and trained. I'm a bioengineer, and I knew more than most doctors about human physiology, nutrition, and all the good research on alternative treatments not involving often dangerous, sometimes deadly, super expensive, often quite ineffective prescription products. I avoid physicians because most don't know much beyonx what we brainwashed them with, and we owned them with HUGE budgets. Thanks for your work.

    I've had an issue for a long time now and no doctor could figure out what it was....until I met an Indian doctor who told me I needed to see a specialist chiropractor and the problem was associated with the vagus nerve, which I had never heard of. So if anyone reading this knows of anyone who has a problem with ongoing burping/flatulance, especially at night when lying down, then the answer is the vagus nerve. I am not sure seeing the specialist chiropractor made much of a difference, just a dent in my pocket book, but I had an answer finally. I'm still living with the issue but it is good to know what is causing it. Right now in this war, I don't have faith in doctors or hospitals so will put up with it until medbeds are available on mass. Found this very interesting - thankyou.

You learn here how every square inch of the body is connected to the brain and all our organs to each other, too! Our bodies are so worth helping with everything we do and eat and think about and even with every person or organization we expose ourselves to! Boy, if learning this doesn't make you want to start eating whole foods and drinking pure water, and and start moving, etc., etc, I don't know what will! Thank you, Dr. Snipes for this wonderful series!!!

      I can relate to not having the language/words to describe.... 36 years of traumatic experience unrelenting like waves during a hurricane. So many things events people near death moments restarts success and tragedies, each one would talk months in therapy to process... there are dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of stories to comprehend. Each time I go to therapy to process my trauma A NEW CRISIS HAS EMERGED and the therapy was limited to day to day survival processing. Im so tired of trying to make it make sense. In trauma healing I am learning that I can focus on the now, and move forward into healing, starting with copings skills and understanding the why and how they work. I can heal without getting closure, apologies, validation, explanations, or justice. I can just be. Much love to you. one day at a time.

    Great information, I think it would be really amazing if you could also add freeze as one of the reponses. Often people are familiar with fight and flight responses but there is a third response "FREEZE" much like the reaction of a deer and headlights. People with neurological disorders or functional disorders often present with this characteristic which is definitely another stress response. I really wish more people would talk about this. My son went through freezing episodes for years before we found out he had functional neurological disorder and we thought he was having seizures, turns out they would non epileptic seizures. Just thought It was worth mentioning. :)

I tried to go to work, but it was debilitating. The first doctor told me I had trigeminal neuralgia and put me on codeine. I couldn't drive, so my mom had to drive me to work and my second opinion doctor who said it was trigeminal neuralgia and said codeine or headaches. That was my only choice. While my mom drove me home, she took me to her chiropractor. I didn't tell him the diagnoses, just let him look. He said my trigeminal nerve was being pinched. One adjustment. And the headache was eased. In fact it was gone for over a decade.

    I spent more than 10 years trying to stay conscious about 50% of the time. I was tested and told I had a severe case of vassodepressor syncope. I lasted about 2 minutes on the tilt table test. There was nothing they could do to help me.
    My blood pressure would drop, I would pass out and convulse. I wouldn't be aware of it once I was out but those around me said it appeared rather a violent reaction. I lost my job and my confidence. About 7 years ago it just suddenly seem to stop and today looking back it doesn't seem real that I went through that. I have a bit of residual anxiety but for the most part I'm fine. Strange thing the Vegas nerve.

    Having migraines recently (Prof Dr Najeeb) this is very encouraging. vagus nerve relationship to the Trigeminal nerve and migraine and facial muscles and brain schemas and response. Autonomic system, HPA axis and vagus nerve. Let's listen to our body and communicate with our mind to vagus, Trigeminal, hpa axis, communicate safety, rub our ears to relax ears/Trigeminal nerves, and trigger positive safe self- state schemas intentionally. Very good Dr Snipes. Wheatbags and long warm showers and rest. I notice with triptans for migraines they allow me to sleep and reset my brain-frequency wise . Triptans block the awful body pain of a migraine. It's like a reflection of nerve-pain message, and it blocks it like a mirror is stopped. Triptans block the Migraine body reflection messages. I can't explain it better. The body is relieved that is does not get the pain reflection images. Can anyone relate?

      Have had migraines for 30 years… since my teens. Triptans are the only thing that’s worked, but not always, and I have migraines so often I would have to take them daily and risk a stroke. Sometimes the migraine is just too strong and the triptan isn’t enough. 2400-3000mg daily of ibuprofen keeps it tolerable, but is horrible for my liver. Gepants haven’t worked and I go in for Botox in three days. Hoping it helps. Wishing everyone here some relief 😔

    At the age of 43 I had a hysterectomy, quite fit and at a good weight plus low normal blood pressure. During surgery my BP dropped drastically and my heart stopped when they opened the abdomen. They revived me and completed the surgery. Later, the anesthesiologist explained what happened and described it as a vagal/vagus nerve response. Asked about any prior incidents.
    I had prior incidents of passing out during a cervical biopsy, I assumed due to pain, and also in at least two other procedures. No doctor ever explained what this might be. I was advised by my surgery doctors to avoid all voluntary surgeries or any procedures on the internal organs. I did have a colonoscopy where I passed out during that. I now do cologuard and my heart is fine at age 71.
    Most people do not know they have this condition. Comments?

    Thanks for your videos. Have been dealing with full on trauma and anxiety since early childhood. No one ever helped as a child. I've tried everything as an adult. The Australian government and people just take advantage of people with my issue and I've had so much trouble finding help and getting financial assistance, even though my doctor of nearly 20 years has backed me up. I get bullied, taken advantage of and ripped my pay because they believe I'm stupid due to my trauma. No government departments follow through. I'm owed over 50k in wages. I go through periods of intense fear where I'm frightened to even leave the house and socialize. It's ruined my life and I've everything. There's no support at all and I get treated like crap by people in this country including the government. They call me a liar. Nobody understands. I feel so alone, no body to talk to but I am able to contact dead people and there are a few that support me. It's a horrible experience and its broken me. Taken away my faith in life, love, people. I go to other worlds to deal with it. Disassociate. Not many people who understand or give support or help and no one seems to know what to do even though they say they do. I've spent thousands and thousands of therapy and gotten nowhere. Just feel ripped off and defeated. I can't fight it anymore and I don't know how to beat it or make the feeling go away. Nobody gives a shit. It's a horrible and lonely experience

      I'm from the US but this all sounds incredibly familiar. The societal alienation from having these sorts of "invisible" disabilities is far more destructive than the disability itself imo. We're social animals. Isolation can create mental health issues even without the strain of preexisting trauma. The fact that we're treated like garbage and subjected to constant gaslighting from peers and even from doctors is enough to crush the hope of the most irrationally optimistic person, and then we're blamed for having a bad attitude if we attempt to point out the mistreatment. All of our avenues for help are gatekept by people who clearly carry subconscious biases against those whose lives didn't turn out as well as their own. Because how could they feel good about their own achievements if they were to ever admit to themselves that we're all just products of circumstance.

    I had a dysfunctional upbringing inasmuch as my mum had OCD and probably a personality disorder. I was a sickly child and had a lot of infections, so my mum’s OCD revolved around keeping me healthy.
    Unfortunately, food became her main tool. I began to dread mealtimes, then I started to feel nauseous as mealtimes approached, then I developed panic attacks, but this was in the 70’s and I didn’t understand what these terrible feelings were, I finally found out in my early 20’s when I was listening to a phone in on the radio.
    I was treated for Anorexia Nervosa in Hospital, but I wasn’t dieting, it was stress not vanity causing my symptoms. So, are these symptoms caused by this nerve???
