Hey if you are watching this video, I just want to say "Hang in there". Watching recovery stories is a great step towards healing. We need hope! Sending you all a big hug 💗
My wife saved me. She kept telling me I wasn't going to die. I'm almost recovered
That's amazing 💓
It depends on whether you believe what other people tell you especially if they don’t accept advice well 😁
Amazing! How long did you got LC? Did you have high rate like pots?
Raelan, I truly want to thank you for giving voice to this issue. Omg I teared up as this woman was explaining exactly everything I was going through but had no clue why and the doctors all told me I was fine! Thank you!! I’ve been so alone in this long COVID hell
Hey @Joshfitvegan you are not alone! Thanks so much for this comment. I only just saw it. sending you a hug 💗
“One person who’s not gonna let me die”. That is so important. When you’ve been to so many doctors and tests and protocols you feel like you are all alone and left to your own research and ideas. Not exaggerating at least two hundred bottles of supplements that mostly made me worse. I lost 60 pounds from catastrophic digestive issues. I felt like my family just wanted me to do anything but bother them. My crying was a problem for them. But I believe it was healing for me. The fear and trauma dramatically affect your body and I was holding in a lifetime (6 decades) of stuff.
I’m still a work in progress.
I do think your belief in the treatment is the key to it working. Also compassion and love from your care partner. Love is medicine.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I am so sorry to hear you are suffering. sending you hugs 💗
These stories are so encouraging! Thank you so much for all of this work
That is great that you feel encouraged! I loved the recovery stories too and Raelan's channel helped me a lot 💗
What a wonderful interview! A great reminder that support and security go such a long way. Thanks so much to you both!
Thanks so much, Sarah! ❤️
Thank you Sarah 💗
Just spoke to Howard regarding any contacts he might know in Northern Ireland. What a gentleman. Feel genuinely very emotional regarding how kind, helpful and informative he was, but very sad 😢 that I no longer live in England and can’t take advantage of his services. This video genuinely has given me the only glimpse of hope that I have that recovery from this hell is possible. Thank you Raelan for all you do and Becky for this story. Much love and gratitude. ❤
So happy to hear that, Barnbrac! Wishing you all the best and I hope you find what you need to work through this. ❤️
Amazing to hear this
@barnbrac2452. and I hope you find someone close by - sending you hugs 💗
❤ Thank you so much Raelan for having Becky share her story.. She's amazing.. and very helpfull..
Thank you so much Linda... sending you hugs 💗
Sending my love to both of you. I'm almost there too and it all makes so much sense. TMS, allowing to feel my emotions and being kind to myself is key.
Sending love right back ❤️❤️
ah this is amazing to hear. So happy for you... 💗
@@RaelanAgle❤
@@amarilovecoachingThank you so much! ❤
I spent thousands on supplements and boutique doctors who prescribed various elimination and detox protocols that required more effort than I could even manage. I was told the same bs about die-off, but could never make it to that supposed point of "healing." I can really relate to the reaction of being scared of foods.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Sending you hugs 💗
Same here. I do think my functional medicine doctor and his protocols and strict diet tipped me right over.
You are helping me so much. Much more than any doctor. I will recover.
Thank you for writing this here. sending you big hugs 💗
A great video, Becky's story really resonates. I'm getting the Sarno book! Thanks Raelan :)
You're so welcome, Alex!
That's amazing Alex, let us know how you get on 💗
@@amarilovecoaching hey could you give me the name of the natropath? am also in UK, near brighton - also called Becci!
I cried listening to this. I can really relate to Becky's story. I have struggled with M E for years & then Long Covid set me right back. I was doing all those things, going round & round but I am now seeing Howard, I've had 2 sessions. I highly recommend him, he is a beautiful, special, being who totally gets it. I actually believe he is an earth angel. He is bringing me back to life. 😇 Well done Becky 🎉xxx Thank you Raelan
Great interview. Thank you Raelan and Becky. ❤just waht I needed today. Believing in ourselves and our abilities, including trusting our body to heal it's so crucial. It's taken me a long time to get the above, but I'm finally getting it. I've worked with Daniel as well for coaching, and he is trully a gem. Very compassionate and insightful. He is and has a gift.
So glad the interview resonated with you, Sky! You're totally on the right track, and we're all cheering you on! 🎈
So great to hear. Sending hugs
Congratulations on your recovery, Becky! Thanks for sharing your story. I feel as though my personality type is similar to yours. I'm still struggling after nearly 6 years, but working more on my autonomic nervous system through a program now. Great interview, thanks, Raelan & I love your studio! Thanks for the warning about the Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Mats, too, Becky. I had never heard of them before. Best wishes to everyone on this journey. 🧡💛💜
Thanks so much for the feedback. Only just saw this comment. Sending you hugs
hey @jog5289 I totally agree about us (lots of us with CFS) having a similar personality. Hoping you aren't being too hard on yourself, and relaxing on the perfectionism and high achieving streak that we all have. sending hugs
Daniel is an amazing soul & like a few others I ‘met’ Becky through his programme & Fb group. I hear his words in her replies to people on this thread. The Sarno book is part of Daniels programme that introduced us & led us to actually understanding TMS. Daniel is the key here.
She met a healer she trusted, and helped her to move from parasympathetic to sympathetic nervous system, and then she did more emotional work. Having been through the endless naturopathic treatments and been burned by nonsense, that machine was definitely not doing what he said it was. Such a thing simply doesn't exist (yet?). But placebo and healer relationship is incredibly powerful, and I'm happy that she found a winning combination. Sometimes if you can believe in a thing, that's the most important thing about the treatment, especially if it's not a treatment with a ton of side-effects.
Hey, I do believe in the power of placebo too, but the machine uses Kiniesiology. There is amazing info out there about it - muscle testing too is astonishing. You might want to do some more research. Sending hugs
God Bless you dear heart.I'm so thankful you came back...
Thank you so much for this. Sending hugs 💗
Hi. Raelan. You are doing important work. Keep it up. This interview, like the vast majority of the people you speak with, anecdotally supports the notion that these chronic illnesses are often a mind-body problem (I.e. limbic system impairment or dysregulated autonomic nervous system). It also demonstrates the power of the mind to heal through regulation of the NS via feelings of safety. Your guest mentioned a couple of modalities that are likely not to be scientifically validated, but nonetheless, because she believed in them they had a positive impact on her. After many years of research into my own health journey, I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion that the first order of business is to establish a feeling of safety in the NS. Then the body can begin to heal once it is consistently in parasympathetic activation.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. sending virtual hugs
I had cfsme for 11 yrs. Occasionally still have some symptoms. You learn alot by lying in the bed unable to move. I look at it as a trial that teaches so much. I feel better on keto and making sure i sleep.
Everything she is saying is what is happening to me. I’m at the point where have just given up on a protocol from a Doctor Who I thought knew what she was doing and was able to help me. I am rock bottom right now and will definitely be looking into finding a naturalpath.🤞🏻
Im 19 months in,after losing my mom,dad,miscarriage,and taking on a new job and just moved back to my hometown after being gone for 12 years.im a mess i still deal with dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, dpdr,brain fog,. Ive overcame pots,chest pain, high blood pressure. I have read dr sarno, i watch all the TMS videos, anxiety videos ect i understand the process to get out of this but its taling forever, i loose hope from time to time but i have to keep going for my wife and kids.😢
Hey, thanks for sharing. I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Sending hugs 💗
Very interesting, so glad you have recovered Becky. I'm going to reread my Dr Sarno book! I'm so glad you met the 80 year old therapist who gave you so much support and help and gave you hope, that made me cry. X
@sarahdean6441 thank you for this comment. Let us know how you get on... Sending hugs 💗
What a lovely lady. I am dealing with this for 6 months now. I was so health conscious.
Does anyone experience chronic insomnia also ? Raelen, can you open up some interviews as some of your guests only mention their insomnia but do not go further into how they dealt with that. How do you begin healing if you cannot sleep ? Also how do you meditate when your brain is so foggy ?
That's exactely what I want to know. When I get to sleep at 4am, and then I'm DEAD tired all the next day, just to start the process over day after day, is crippling.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and for your feedback. I am sure Raelan will respond too. I believe that insomnia plays a big part in most of our lives when we have CFS. it’s because we are so wired and tired; our nervous system has slipped into an erroneous state of fight or flight the whole time. Learning how to get out of fight or flight is key. It’s completely ok to meditate with a foggy brain (in my opinion). Happy to talk with you more if you want to connect. Sending hugs ❤
@@katesun2957 sending hugs 💗 do see my replies to Brie, as they are for you too
This story is almost exactly what my son is going through , I cry all the time and its so so horrible , whole families in crisis , too sad .
I am so sorry to hear about your son. Sending hugs to you both ❤
Interesting to hear the rest of Becky’s story as I only know her through Daniel’s programme and FB group. So it sounds like she tried lots of non-helpful stuff first (like most of us!) and Daniel’s coaching was the clincher? I definitely think TMS is the way out of this and releasing stored emotions.
Hiya, thanks for this great comment! So lovely to see you on here. I did try lots of not-very-helpful things, and the combination of calming the nervous system and the coaching with Daniel, (and that big hitter - TMS) were definitely what worked for me! sending hugs 💗
I have wondered how much EMF is affecting people too.
I can relate to this also.
My GP put me on a protocol of diet, supplements and drugs,after 6 months I was getting worse and also told the same, oh you are detoxing and not following the protocol.
I am currently seeing a naturopath and have been having infusions.
But honestly I’m about to give up on all of it.
It has cost me a fortune.
Oh Carol 💖 If it's not working, it might be time letting the protocol go. 💖 There are many paths to recovery. I'm sending you all my love.
@@RaelanAgle I am certainly giving up on Doctors.
With multiple emergency visits and admissions to hospital etc.
I have developed multiple illnesses and having been bounced around from specialist to specialist, but not actually getting help.
They just gaslight me and blame anxiety.
Thanks Becky & Raelan, wonderful interview ❤
Hey, thanks so much for your feedback 💗 sending hugs
Well done on your recovery, wishing you every success moving forward now. I absolutely loved this interview. Thanks again 🙏💕
I used a PEMF mat once - an alternative/holistic practitioner used this in his office. I used it a few weeks after I had Covid (and had been in the hospital). It reduced chest pain, fatigue, brain fog and helped me breathe better (had severe chest pain and had to take the highest dose of heart medication) in 10 minutes. I would buy it if it were cheaper! Grounding and visualizing are great for me too, but the help of that mat is incomparable, at least for me!
Ah this is really great to hear that it helped you! The lovely naturopath I talk about in the video is also a great supporter of PEMF, and there is lots of science to back it up... I just have found it is also possible to get incredible results without the mat, using other techniques... Thank you for the comment and feedback. sending hugs 💗
Has anyone has done the electroencephalogram ti scan brain activities with poor results before recovery?
Sounds like medical medium protocols. A lot of fear happens when we remove food groups or have fear around food and what can make us worse. Thanks for this video
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, all the protocols are pretty restrictive, including the MM one! Sending hugs
Thank you realan
Nice interview! I also work with Daniel van Loosbroek. Ralean is right, he is absolutely amazing. He introduced me to all of the TMS work and the inner child healing. I'm sure that's where Becky got it from as well. I can highly recommend his online course to anyone. Its absolutely to the point. All you need for healing. I'm almost completely recovered within two months after trying so many other approaches and courses.
I watch these videos for hope, but discouraged when I hear people go through this for 3 years. I am in month 4. I can't do this for 3 years.
It usually gets better with time.
It helps to do a variety of things you can do from the bed or chair.
Excellent🙏🏾🌹👑
You can get those mats now for pretty cheap
Definitely relate to the non-emotional status
Yes, I think it's very common for those of us who come down with CFS
I had tests on a similar machine in early nineties ( vegatest) it told me i could only eat oats, pears, and trout ??!!! I soon tired of that diet.
Those machines are a total fake tbh
oh dear, very restrictive! Maybe it depends on the practitioner too
Sounds like the confidence which this guy distilled was more important than the machine.
Absolutely! Once I started to calm down my nervous system, so much was possible! sending hugs
Thank you so much!! I feel you so much, I am in UK and been following Dr S.M protocol religiously for a year but getting worse.I think, I am getting more fearful and frustrated it is not working which surely doesn't help. Now I am starting to relax into listening more my body and soul. Have you been seeing Chris H? He was recommended by my friend while ago...
@@Ana2009Bond Hey there, thank you so much for this feedback. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling that you are getting worse (I totally get it!). I haven't been seeing Chris H (was that question addressed to me?) sending hugs 💗
I have same issues snd sufferring from last 3 years ..please ..please Can I get the name and address for yr N. Doctor... I really needed.
Hey there, can you see the information under the video that Raelan has put? She has linked to the naturopath, and to others mentionned in the video. Let us know how you get on. Sending hugs 💗
I agree with so much of what you say Becky. Whilst healing, it shouldn't make you feel worse. I too feel better, not worse when a treatment is helping me.
Food fear - that's another one. I think these very restrictive diets cause more stress on the body from the mental strain of adhering to them and the physical impact of the reduction of the varieties of nutritious foods.
The Asyra machine is a helpful tool on my healing journey too. I'd say it's been 90% accurate for me so far in what it finds. I send a hair sample to the practitioner to test with, as I can't travel to see her. She has said though it may not pick up as much as if I was being tested in person. So maybe this is the 10% discrepancy I've found.
Thank you so much for sharing this... it's interesting that you are also working with bioresonance... sending you big hugs 💗
Hi Raelen I would love to see you do a video(s) on people who have healed in a stressful environment. For example, raising kids and working, business owners in high stress environments that can’t just walk away from their careers, etc. Or is it impractical to think that people can heal in stressful everyday environments?
Such a valid question, Karen! It's something so many people grapple with. We'll be having an interview in a few weeks that focuses on that aspect. Wishing you all the best 🧡💛💜
Hey, i know I sound calm in the video, so just to share with you - I was evicted and made homeless during this recovery. Also I had a huge amount of other stressors. Please believe me, the triggers and stresses are hard, but it is still possible to recover. Sending hugs ❤
@@RaelanAgle yes how to cope with living with toxic people/family that you cant get away from, with a history of having had toxic friends would be so useful
narcisstic and toxic
So....feeling SAFE is the component we need to feel first to start healing...
When I was getting better I was really getting better
It's a strange thing to have to learn to trust yourself again!!! When I was getting better, I felt better and better, rather than worse! sending hugs 💗
Unfortunately, I have not reached the stage where I am really getting better. It seems that as I get better in one area, another symptom will pop up. For example, my current maladies started about three months ago with severe eye pain - which I discovered, after extensive testing and confusion, was apparently caused by Epstein Barr virus reactivation. Since then, I have had typical symptoms which all went away, then pain in different parts of my body, lymph node pain, headaches, spine pain, conjunctivitis, and a few other issues. Currently my face is burning like I have a fever but I don' t - my neck and back hurt - I am tired part of every day - I have mild headaches and eye pain... it's not fun. However, I thank God that I am still functional and able to work which I really enjoy. Your post and others about chronic illness associated with post-viral issues and other chronic conditions, give me some hope. Thanks.
@@amarilovecoaching
Oh I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Yes, I had a long list of symptoms that then changed and confounded all the doctors and healers. Sending you hugs
thanks - you are kind - sending hugs right back to you!

I'm curious to know the name of the 80 year old naturopath that Becky worked with 4 hours north of London? Thank you.
Hopefully you (and anyone reading this) can see the links in the information under the video. It's all there! Sending hugs 💗
Thank you@@amarilovecoaching
Sorry, the Derms voice on the commercial is soooooo buggy! Ick!
It's fantastic that she recovered, but the Asyra machine seems to be total psuedoscience. The mind is very powerful (placebos are real) and the guy made her believe she was finally getting help, so it helped her heal. I def wouldn't recommend anyone pay for someone to use that machine on them.
hiya, thanks for your feedback. The Asyra machine (and other brands of this type of machine) which offer bio-energetic screening is based on kinesiology, meridian point testing. It's pretty amazing stuff. A lot of great research shows how these things work (a book called "Power versus Force" is an interesting starting point).
Am sitting here with no hope with my young kids. I hope this Long covid just disappeared from our body really.
I know how you feel. I have been struggling with long COVID for 15 months now. I’m starting to feel better. Don’t give up. There IS hope. I felt like you many times but try to keep searching for answers. I know there is one out there for you. I’m not a doctor but my own personal help has been through meditation/prayer. I never thought it would help before I had this, but it really does. There’s lots on UA-cam. Find one that you like. Just try. It’s kind of baby steps. I hope you feel better soon.
You will make it. With Kids its even harder i know. Is there a was for you to get Help or give the Kids to Family members? You need to concentrate on yourself! Maybe you can speak With your doctor to get a concept
Do your kids have it, or just you? Sending love ❤
Hang in there! Sending hugs 💗
The Steady Coach channel has a free training programa on How yo Recover from Chronic Dizziness (It also applies for long COVID). I hope this helps You. I wish You they best.
people with Long covid should test their thyroid and B12 levels.
Hey thanks for sharing this. I believe most of us do that within a few weeks or months, as the doctors and holistic practitioners do all the physical stuff first. I guess the issue is for those of us who do all the physical protocols and then still don't recover... I personally was looking after my thyroid and injecting B12 every day, but this didn't lead to recovery - nor did other physical protocols. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sending hugs 💗
Did Becky actually positive for covid ?
Hiya, yes I did.
@@amarilovecoachingthanks for replying Becky. Were you concerned at all regarding further damage via spike protein, mitochondria, micro clots etc etc ? Did you take medications at all. I am sitting on the fence between TMS and the possibility of physiological issues being real.
I have been very blessed to never get Covid because I don’t be exposed by lots of different people daily and I stay away from crowded places 😷
That's great to hear. I think personally, I would have become housebound with ME / CFS at some point anyway - my system just couldn't take the stress anymore that I was putting it under! Thanks for sharing :) sending hugs
@@amarilovecoaching Thanks! I am a truck driver and lives alone and I haven’t been sick in over 13 years!
@@amarilovecoaching Hello any ideas on how you caught Covid and have you fully recovered and how long has it been since you had Covid and how many times?🙏🏽❤️
@@pc24681 hello - yes, I am 100 percent recovered. I caught Covid on a film shoot in March 2020 from someone I was working with. But Covid really wasn’t the issue; it was a trigger for underlying issues.
I dont know about this one
Well, then I'll try emotional healing next. Let's see what this is all about
Thanks for your comment @HeavenShallTremble ❤
I think Herx reaction is BS too!
I disagree I think it can exist . But it's definitely dangerous to attribute someone's symptoms to it when you're not qualified to do so. Telling people to push through can be dangerous and borderline abusive even if it is the cause of their symptoms.
you have to push through gently. Reduce activity and then build back up. You have to re-train the autonomic nervous system that these activities are safe. The autonomic creates the symptons. I'm 3 years in, about 95% recovered. TMS @@sla1xyz
Can assure you Herx reaction does exist and I was told to keep going - ended up completely bedridden which I wasn’t before.
@@hazelstinson9911 oh I am so sorry to hear this. Sending hugs 💗
Raelyn always describing long covid as hell on earth etc is so triggering for some reason.
