Same! I wish I found your channel last year when I was battling this and being dismissed from ever dr u went to. I was dizzy every single day and have had complex ptsd for years so I have always been prone to trigger my panic response very easily. And June 2020 i started having hours long panic attacks where my bp would get so irregular and high and the monitor would register an irregular heartbeat. Last time I went into the ER (nov2020) my bp was 157/53 and respiration was 26. They dismissed me saying it was just a panic attack but panic attacks don't last for 4-6 hours straight with no relief. I was having cold sweats and tingling in my limbs. They kept cramping up and twitching. I was throwing up and had diarrhea with horrible stomach pains. Slight fever. I made them do a basic chem panel cuz since the first time I went in to the ER of june2020 i kept getting hypokalemic and my electrolytes would get unbalanced. Ended up showing i was very low in potassium. So they gave me a potassium pill and sent me home. Didn't get better till I got a new Dr that actually listened to what I was going thru. He didn't make the long haul post viral connection. But he did recognize it wasn't just anxiety. I stopped drinking coffee, consuming sugar in large amts, and started supplementing magnesium, potassium, and other supplements/minerals i was deficient in. I went to an energy healer also and within a month I was feeling back to normal. Now months later, i started to consume coffee again and stopped supplementing and I'm starting to notice all the symptoms coming back even after doing breathing exercises, especially the dizziness. That is always my biggest symptom which then triggers my panic response due to an over active amygdala. I even told my first dr that maybe my ptsd is what is causing these panic attacks to come on our of no where and last so long cuz I am prone to getting stuck in the sympathetic mode, and she flat out told me no. Finding your videos last year could have saved me so much suffering.

Thank you Shelley!

Yes, cold stimulates the vagus nerve. I used cold showers to heal from ME/CFS after a virus, along with using the Gupta program and homeopathics. I also used breathing - pranayama - to calm the vagus.

cold exercises the endothelium and circulative muscles and if those are creating a "dysautonomia like" symptoms that may well also explain

Can one just jump in the pool instead would that be equivalent cold showers are disgusting lol

Thank you!

💯

That’s the spirit Richard! Very sorry to hear about your Mum - hope you’re coping ok. Don’t underestimate the power that that level of grief can have. I lost my mum four years ago and still feel it daily.

Fasting is definitely working for myself as well. Slowly but surely we will get better!

Please be kind to yourself. This guy is selling this pseudo science here, RUN-DMC even admits it's not even tested in randomized control trials, but already on sale. Google Pacing, it's really the only thing that helps. Don't push yourself. Good luck.

Fasting and avoiding histamine triggering foods has been the key for me. But, after both vaccinations of the Pfizer I'm still dealing with nephropathy issues. Meditation, mindfulness, light exercise, and a clean diet have made a difference. I continue with supplements that support the NAD+ and mast cells. I'm investigating mitochondrial toxicity and making efforts to reestablish a healthier mitochondrial functioning and improve my overall level of health. The antioxidant cocktail is taken once or twice daily: Coenzyme Q-10 50mg Alpha lipoic acid 200mg Acetyl-L-carnitine 500mg N-acetyl-cysteine 600mg

Never give up!

A lot of us are getting uncontrollable adrenaline (ie “panic attacks” for the first time ever..)food sensitivities, neuralgia and all the “long covid” symptoms after the V.

@@RUNDMC1 Thank you!! 🥳

The haircut has made me feel lighter just by itself :)

Have a watch of my recent film with Dr Tompkins - this is classic HPA axis inversion

GI issues are definitely an issue with long haul Covid. The GI system is part of the autonomic system. When there’s a dysautonomic dysfunction then you will most likely have GI issues like - Nausea, Gastro Paresis…

I’m certain I got Long Term COVID because of a Chronic Yeast Infection.

I have had gi symptoms for 2 years 2 days after second physer vac horrible always diarea

Thanks Marlene!

Hi Earl, he’s been using this method to treat chronic illness for almost 15 years - it’s not a scam or something put together quickly to capitalise on the situation. Even if you don’t want to join the program I think there’s something all of us can take away from this line of thinking regarding limbic system dysfunction. And agreed, have a good day everyone!

I am actually doing the program it’s not a scam! The program only cost $250 which is way cheaper than all the vitamins I have bought in the last 6 months! I have been doing the program for 1 month and I walked for 20 min this week for the first time when I have been bed ridden for 3 months taking tons of pills which did nothing!

I want to add also that most of these technique had been explained to me by my therapist also who doesn’t even know about this program. Neuroplasticity is known and have been proven, it’s not something that juts comes out of nowhere, the Gupta program presents it in a more easier way to understand and guides you instead of being completely on your own

@@RUNDMC1 I am doing the Wim Hof breathing for almost a week now and it feels awesome. My resting heartrate came down nicely and i feel kinda relaxed. And would not have started this without you and Gupta, so i defenitely took away something from your video. Thanks a lot for all your work and have a nice day!

Box Breathing this is called. There are many forms of breathwork. All can help parasympathetic function and most important help us to regain self-regulation

Very interesting!

Stasis week 4. No longer having dizziness, shortness of breath, low BP and orthostatic changes, and some extra stamina. So far it has made the biggest impact. Still having PEM though. Have to make sure to pace.

Great to hear that Liz!

I’m only a couple of weeks into the program so can’t comment just yet, re Bruce P - am eagerly awaiting his next paper.

That’s ok - and thank you!

So great to hear Alison! Which parts of the program made the biggest difference for you personally?

@@RUNDMC1 initially I think hearing the theory of why it was happening made complete sense to me from my personal experiences with long covid and also my clinical training, so I think the mental shift of being ‘on board’ with it was the first thing. After doing the first meditation I immediately noticed a difference, and doing those twice a day and giving the nervous system the opportunity for deep rest at regular intervals has been absolutely key. And When I first started out, bringing all the thoughts about my symptoms fully into my awareness and then interrupting and redirecting them through the brain retraining. I realised how much time and energy was taken up with thoughts about being ill and my physical limitations - I very rarely have them now, and it has freed up such a lot of mental space! I am able to lose myself in everyday activities (and also because I am able to do so much more again) and the only time my brain might drift to symptom thoughts these days is if I am not doing much to occupy myself. I’m not 100% there yet but long covid no longer interferes with my every day, I don’t have to think about my activity and potential energy demands at all, and I’m not worried about the future any more. I’m just getting on with returning to normal life again. That is a huge leap from where I was at the beginning of this year. I hope you get on well with it 😊

Thanks fantastic to hear. Thank you Alison!

Thanks Tom!

nope its nonsense

I started the program and it’s really great and I am actually in touch with Sandrine which was mentioned in the video and she healed completely 100% and was completely bedridden.

Nothing more recent - sorry!

Thanks Mad Wolf!

That’s great news!

@@RUNDMC1 And also thank you for all your grat work all the time, helped me a lot to stay positive over the last jear

@@MrGuensch did you ever have brain fog also?

@@bigbuu4334 Fortunately not, but many other symptoms.

Thanks for your experience and sharing it here Jenny!

@@RUNDMC1 I think it's one of those things that is highly dependent on certain socio-economic privileges - as Tamsin said it is a full time life overhaul - and you also always have to consider what these kinds of things mean for the most severe patients. Even with that, just a 40% positive rate is not that far off from placebo or natural recovery rates. My own disability level regularly fluctuates between 40-70% disabled (over 15 years).

@@ShermanTank13 hi Jenny, do you have long Covid as well or ME?

@@oliviarabossit2826 Yes Covid for 13 months, ME for 15 years. I made some videos about it on my channel (replying with the channel these videos are on!) if you fancy checking it out. :)

If you look up Stasis breathing they have free onboarding videos and also Box Breathing is good.

Haha, that would be the least I can do!

@@RUNDMC1 long covid is a leaky gut syndrome. A doctor in pakistan is treating people long covid by prescribing them proton pump inhobitor like pantaprazole, eatung honey and yougurt in morning, eating raw onion and garlic with rice veggies, avoiding gluten, sugar, fast food, using olive oil etc. And people are healing in about 1 month of doing this

Hence the jigsaw puzzle I talk about in the film!

Indeed - thanks for watching and commenting Wendy!

How are you feeling now ?

Thanks Bradley!

This has been my suspicion around personal symptoms - feeling like my chest is weighted, not feeling like I’m breathing ‘automatically’ (breathing feels slow and off), baseline heart rate too high and disproportionate to activity. How do you heal brainstem dysfunction?

@@commenter7375 research hasn’t got that far :(. There’s been very little that’s even looked at this area, serious Brain research in ME has only just started despite the name Myalgic Encephalomyelitis . I guess they have to understand why, and see if they can address that

Hi Harry - there’s a good chance that viral persistence or debris is present in the vast majority of recovers from COVID - the difference in long covid is the way we react to them, and it’s this that creates the symptoms. Hence in a way, the viral persistence/debris doesn’t really matter - we just need to get ourselves to the place of those others who have recovered, whether some virus or debris lingers or not.

@@RUNDMC1 What’s your opinion on the differing inflammatory cytokine panel that presents in long haulers as per Dr Patterson’s research? Would you argue this response is all from the sympathetic nervous system?

Harry Boby the question is what’s causing this inflammatory immune response - what’s switching it on? I think there’s a very good chance it’s limbic system dysfunction

@@RUNDMC1 Very true, am going to give the Gupta program a go and put my all into it, can’t do any harm can it!

@@harryboby7563 Only the money spent on it... If it's a mindfulness program, I believe you can do this by your own.

So your nervous system and hence immune system are primed to over-react. You can re-write your story, its not easy but it can be done. I've been following @drjoedispenza work for sometime. Maybe worth considering one of his retreats at some point.

Yep me too

i can tell you exactly how to heal safely ,i onloy type the protocol out when requested 1000s all over the world are using it to regain their health,long covid ended in days safely,

So sorry to hear about this - hope you can find some relief from your symptoms.

Hi Brad. Dysautonomia is part of the problem with insomnia, as is seratonin dysregulation. We don’t really have enough science yet on it yet for me to make a film on it unfortunately!

I've had Dysautonomia for 34 years and haven't slept since

Thanks Jenny!

Hi Ben, it could be caused by a number of things - but most likely it’s inflammation of the respiratory system. The start of the cascade of processes that end with this inflammation may well be the amygdala. It could also be persistent debris triggering the amygdala! But my theory is not everyone gets triggered (the viral persistence study a while back were asymptomatic) so sorting the autonomic system is still a high priority.

As much as you possibly can. I do about 45 mins on average and it’s not really enough

Very similar to virtually any symptom for any illness. Literally ANYTHING.

I actually developed hypothyroidism immediately after my covid case. My TSH levels were normal pre-covid and clinical hypothyroidism post covid. My thyroid antibody levels were at 135. I've been taking Synthroid for quite some time now and the long covid is definitely not gone. Synthroid does not really help anything. Post exertional malaise still happens, and the tissue hypoxia in the presence of 100% blood oxygen saturation still happens. The Synthroid actually makes me jittery, which makes the condition even worse. You think you have energy so you might go for a fast walk, then end up with tissue hypoxia in all your muscles causing free radical damage, and then more post-exertional malaise. Caffeine and cocoa have the same effect. Giving yourself a boost of energy is very bad until you can solve the oxygen transport issue.

Agreed, the stress may be historical as well as current.

I've noticed my mast cell activation syndrome / histamine intolerance (not long covid , but very similar - probably also a post-viral syndrome) flares up in the evening.

i think its caused by leaking gut syndrome,food particles get into the blood through the holes in the gut that makes the immune system go haywire ,take a heaped tea spoon of slippery elm bark powder in a glass of warm water 15minutes before food,it takes about ten days for the holes in the gut to heal,end of pots,end of auto immune problems

Its all about consistency and commitment - this is not a fix but a methodology and changing your lifestyle - to reduce stress reactivity.

@@fabulousdoc You make some g8 points Tasmin - thank u - do you have pots & how are u now?

Please try Lemon balm herb calms central nervous system and add Ashwaghanda herb..this nourishes the adrenal gland. When palpitations started I take both at same time and it calms it down

i had POTS along with CFS/ME after a virus. the naturopath said she'd never seen anyone with such dramatic blood pressure fluctuations on standing form sitting I also had digestion problems, SIBO etc. I used the Gupta program to retrain my brain, as well as homeopathics from a medical doctor /homeopath in India, and supplements, cold showers and pranayama to calm the vagus nerve. The POTS went away after about 6 months and the CFS/ME started getting better after i started the Gupta program and the homeopathics - started them at the same time so i can't say which had hte greatest effect. The SIBO also cleared up. Homeopaths in India are all medical doctors as well and the one i consulted runs a hospital. I highly recommend homeopathics and also the Gupta Program really helped.

Hi Zac, I’m still on the stack although not taking all of it. Still taking 100mg daily of niacin though. Not heard of whoop but I think my Garmin does something similar!

@@RUNDMC1 Whoop is a bit more accurate than Garmin on HRV measurements and the algorithyms for "readiness" are more sophisicated. We are going to try @oura though aren't we :)

Dr Tamsin Lewis indeed! :)

@@fabulousdoc There's also Lief, which sticks to the chest with electrodes. They have an HRV training program & one can pay extra for a coach.

@@RUNDMC1 Gez - have you had your vitamin deficiencies measured through a blood test? I'm doing the stack, and have found Niacin to be the biggest contributor and B12 a close second. but my blood work showed that I was low in magnesium, and borderline low in D3, too. It's definitely worth checking out if you can have it done (3 of my doctors refused to run it, so I just paid for the test out of pocket).

Had a slightly better couple of weeks - thanks for asking :)

Hi Bene - could you maybe email me on dm20abn@herts.ac.uk? Thank you!

Hi Bene. Could you share your thoughts further?

@@rubencalderon7470 Sure! So I created a system based on recalibration. I totally agree with Gupta on how our physiology learned certain triggers for danger while going through covid and my approach is a 3-fold recalibration. 1. Recalibration of gas exchange (CO2 and O2), 2. Recalbration of fatigue (to know when we need to dial back our output in the moment) 3. Recalibration of Self (how we perceive ourselves, so don't argue with reality).

@@bmares1986 sounds interesting. Do you have any more details on this? KZfaq video/additional explanation?

@@RUNDMC1 I sent the email!

I’m glad the breathing program is helping! I think the Gupta program offers some more of the brain retraining aspects through exercises, visualisation, repetition etc

@@RUNDMC1 it’s funny I just bought the book “ the brains way of healing” by Norman Doidge MD which is about neuroplasticity. Btw, your looking better, your eyes don’t look so tired...I have had the same look with long covid and it’s getting better too!

I think the recent sunshine has helped!

Yes keep meditating - maybe do try the Gupta program’s free trial and see if it suits you

My personal case of hypothyroidism and thyroid antibodies triggered by covid is due to leaky gut syndrome I suspect. Essentially the proteins in all of the dairy and gluten that I was eating look like thyroid proteins to my immune system so it got trained to attack them. I know I had leaky gut because as soon as I cut those things out of my diet all of my allergies went away, and once I went on the Candida diet I had a massive herxheimer reaction. I suspect with the Candida and leaky gut fixed, my thyroid antibodies will disappear over the next few years. If you have leaky gut, the proteins from anything that you eat will end up in your bloodstream, and you will develop antibodies to them, and any tissue that looks similar to those proteins.

Hi Lacy, yes I’ve been doing a personally modified version of the program and yes it’s helped a number of my symptoms hugely

@minituremarvels Any link for step by step directions?

@@Conquerchronicillness Hi there, I didn't follow a specific protocol. I simply stopped eating for about 72 hrs , and only drank water or black tea/coffee during that time. I also took essential electrolytes; this is key to getting through the fast as you will likely feel very uncomfortable and have to stop otherwise. You need to take salt (sodium chloride), magnesium, potassium, calcium. Be very careful with the potassium as you can overdose it. A guy called Rob Wolf has a good article online about dosages for electrolytes during a fast. During the fast you can just take it easy, read, go for light walks, meditate etc. It kicks off the autophagic processes in the body, which is what I believe cured my long covid. Any questions let me know.

@@ConquerchronicillnessFrom the Rob Wolf link (note this is not specific to fasting, this worked for me but you may wish to do further research): "In general, you should be consuming 5,000mg of sodium; 1,000mg of potassium, ideally in the form of potassium chloride or potassium citrate; and 300mg of magnesium, preferably in the form of magnesium malate every day, in addition to what you get from dietary sources.
