New research just came out showing a procedure blunting the sympathetic nervous system is helping patients with Long Covid. Dan Neuffer, a thought leader on the autonomic nervous system and chronic illness, who himself healed from severe ME/CFS, POTS, and fibromyalgia, share his thoughts. TIMESTAMPS below:
TIMESTAMPS:
0:02 Intro
1:18 The reason I wanted to thank Dan. My honest experience with his program ANS Rewire.
4:31 Recent Stellate Ganglion Block Study with Long Covid patients targeting the sympathetic nervous system - the background & the results
8:57 Dan's thoughts on the SGB study
10:07 The World Health Organization knew This for many decades.
11:55 Is reducing symptoms a good idea? Dan gives examples on when symptoms are the solution.
13:51 What we really want to do.
15:17 The truth about heart rate variability
18:54 Why he believes the study is onto something, but it also misses THIS.
19:26 We discuss Cortisol prescribed for CFS (not medical advice)
21:21 How my body was in the Upside Down with sleep. Dan explains why sleep hygiene alone won't fix your sleep.
22:25 We come up with a new analogy for healing!
25:04 Vagus nerve stimulators for targeting the parasympathetic nervous system. I learned THIS from Dan about the Vagus Nerve. Dan shares great insights here. (Not medical advice.)
31:35 Breathwork, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and ANS pathogenesis.
32:27 Dan explains how he believes Low Dose Naltrexone actually works (Not medical advice). Super insightful stuff. I learned something.
38:27 Why dosage is key.
41:45 Dan talks about his thoughts on those who say a pathogen is driving these conditions and we must focus our efforts on killing the pathogen. Interesting reflections.
45:26 Why his holistic program encourages people to seek medical interventions.
47:26 Why long-term antibiotic therapy may not have the same efficacy for all Chronic Lyme patients. Dan's experience collaborating with chronic illness medical clinics. (Not medical advice)
49:38 Dan's final reflections
OVERVIEW:
Dan Neuffer has long believed Autonomic Nervous System dysfunction is driving ME/CFS, POTS, MCS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Lyme, and now Long Covid. His crusade has since helped many people recover, while research continues to pour out supporting his theory. I invited him on my channel to discuss his thoughts (not medical advice) on the brand new small study showing promising results of the Stellate Ganglion Block (a medical procedure to blunt the sympathetic nervous system) for reducing Long Covid systems, including Post-Exertional Malaise.
Dan also shares his thoughts (not medical advice) on medications like Low Dose Naltrexone and Vagus Nerve Stimulator gadgets. His explanations are really informative and insightful. We also talk about lifestyle and brain retraining interventions.
Dan proposes a new paradigm for healing from chronic illness that is not simply about forcing a fix.
