HOW AWESOME TO HAVE A MEDICAL DOCTOR talking about the connection of the nervous system and body function. Not talking about drug deficiency. THANK YOU!!!!
What great info! Imagine you don't make/have enough stomach acid, your pancreas doesn't release enzymes for digestion, so you get heartburn....and what does a conventional doctor do? Prescribe an acid blocker further causing damage to your gut. Unreal.
Happy we could help in any way. Wish you all the best in health. If you want to talk with us in more detail about your case, feel free to reach out to us directly.
This is uncanny how many things I deal with that fall in line with these symptoms. Palpitations, tinnitus, GERD that seemingly came out of nowhere, back and neck pain, quick to “flight” reactions
Me three! Intermittent POTS-like symptoms/insomnia, intermittent labyrinthitis/Eustachian Tube dysfunction, GERD (more in the past than now since I switched to Paleo Diet), leaky gut/IBS/constipation, tinnitus, neck and back pain, lifelong allergies, sinusitis/allergic rhinitis, eczema (especially in winter), left hand arthritis since February, even chronic/recurring nonbacterial prostatis/CPPS.
Hi The Centered Path, Yes, in one of the recent videos with Drs. Hauser and Hutcheson, he compliments the chiropractic field as a whole for following the neurology of these conditions/symptoms. In our center, we find the combination of Prolotherapy and Chiropractic care can be really helpful. Thanks for taking a moment to leave your feedback. Wish you all the best in health!
@@dianearnold5381 Hi Diane, Thanks for the feedback. If this is the first you're seeing Dr. Hauser, you may be surprised how much work he's done in the field of natural medicine and the dedication our whole clinic has toward getting patients off unnecessary medications and breaking the need for addictive pain killers. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment, not like cortisone or botulinum toxin. We also have a wonderful chiropractor on our team here. The combination of the Prolotherapist and Chiropractic approach has been great for our cervical dysstructure cases. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion of medical doctors too. Just wanted to share that with you for what it's worth. We wish you all the best in health!
Dr. Hauser.....Thank you kindly for sharing this informative video. It is frustrating how majority of doctors, even gastrologist don't explain this to the patient. I guess we have to educate our own self with knowledge from physicians like you who really care about their patients. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your caring spirit ! It is much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words, Caroline. Glad you connected with the information and found it helpful in your case. Wishing you all the best in health!
I have been complaining to my Primary and Gastroenterologist of symptoms that seem to be connected to the vagus nerve. They both look at me as if they’ve never heard of this happening. It so frustrating. I’m so thankful I found this video that confirms what I’ve read and been feeling.

It can also cause seizures. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy because of it but my dad brought me to a chiropractor after the hospital's couldn't figure it out. After a treatment plan the vertebrae stopped pressing on my vagus nerve and my grand mal seizures stopped completely. It's been about 13 years and I haven't had a seizure of any kind since. This seems to be something that people haven't quite figured out yet that really would help a lot of seizure sufferers and even rid them of their seizures completely like it did for me.
what kind of adjustment your chiropractor was doing to you? I’m going tomorrow to my chiropractor for the first time and I’m very curious what to tell him about this issue that I’m suspecting that I have.
I have had xmany health issues throughout my life. Around 1985 I started having neck issues. It started with a reverse curvature of the C spine. Now I have disc desiccation, broad based herniation, stenosis, spurs and other issues I don't understand from C1 to C7. Until I watched your videos, I had no idea of health problems related to it that I have. GERD, IBS, ringing in my ears, anxiety, horrible headaches, vision, dry eyes and mouth, skin and muscle, trouble swallowing at times, dizziness and blood pressure fluctuations so crazy I had to call an ambulance twice. It was dangerously high the first time and dropped so low that my BP machine couldn't read it the 2nd. I actually dropped to the floor when it was low. The doctors did a lot of tests but had no idea why it was happening. All tests of my heart etc were fine. It still jumps around. I've been on BP medication for 20 years. I'm having a new MRI next week because the last one was 3 years ago. Thank you so very much for this information. I will be talking to my spine doctor about it.
sounds exactly like me and i cant eat any cereal grains or tubers. i just eat veg fruit and lots of meats and my digestive system calms down a lot but i do have to have digestive enzymes and magnesium everyday. train doing costochondritis back stretches as it will let you have bigger breath intakes and also try squatting/cardio multiple times a week as the legs require more oxygen so its best to get them effiecient. i have had every test under the sun and the doctors could never figure my issues out but i came to the realization that my whole body is out of whack as i constantly felt the same symptoms as you but its better when i stay away from carbs completely make sure i stretch and relax parts of my body. do you have hypermobility by any chance as it runs in my family and we all have the same issue.
@@djsubliminalreeve my daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlose, hyper mobility. She said it's hereditary and she got it from me. The symptoms are just about the same too.
So glad this came up on my feed......wow, this explains so many of the symptoms that ive had for many many years. Yes, it has gotten worse over the past few years. Also, I really think that tinnitus is a byproduct of vagus nerve problems. Thank you Dr Hauser.
Tinnitus most experience is also likely from the massive electromagnetic pollution we are being bombarded with. Just wait till Fiveegee is completely rolled out
What a breath of fresh air, doc! My loved one has many symptoms which I believe are related to the vagus nerve, at least partly due to a possible sliding hiatus hernia, including left arm pain which is often relieved by belching, shortness of breath when he bends over, occasional IBS, lack of appetite/weight loss, occasional lip tingling, ongoing anxiety, neck pain/grinding, headache, occasional high blood pressure, lightheadedness/dizziness (possibly from ace inhibitor). Of course, because of his age his doc wants to put him through all the typical cardiac tests first. I get it, but I really don’t think his heart is the issue. His EKG was perfect, he does not have chest pain or nausea, his LDL is a bit high but so is his HDL and his triglycerides are low. The preponderance of evidence, and the timing of the symptoms suggests a vagus nerve issue, in my humble, uneducated opinion.
@Tatiana Coll If it's constipation, oil helps like castor oil, nasty but it works. To digest food get good quality enzymes. I use Caring Sunshine, they're online. For constipation it's a constant balance of fiber and water, so what helps me immensely is Celery Juice. It activates hydrochloric acid. Fruit fiber like pears, apricots, different varieties of apples can be too much fiber for me. Eat your water like melons, strawberries, etc... and it doesn't hurt to research and get a good para cleanse. I get mine from the source I mentioned before, it's natural Chinese herbs by the way. I have suffered with most of the things mentioned in this video for the last 8yrs and this video is life changing for me. I was finally able to get linzess a year ago, and it does work for constipation. I'm just wanting to go on my own. Sorry for the long text, but I want to pass the word around to help someone else because this issue is a nightmare and the medical field is refusing to let us know about these things. Best Wishes!
I have the exact same symptoms but also have pots now. After several tests all they found was a small hiatal hernia. I believe it’s pushing on my vagus nerve and messed with my nervous system. I did think that caused the digestive issues but now I’m thinking a lack of acid caused the hiatal hernia?? How is your loved one doing now?
#Yasmine Love I have all of the same problems. I just left a comment on this video. I had no idea how many of my health problems are related to my neck. I hope your loved one is getting the help he/she needs now that all of their issues are explained.
@@lozza1927 I have a small hiatal hernia as well. Well it was diagnosed as small when it was detected in mid 2010. Waiting on a new endoscopy now, but I’m having more issues than ever after a stomach bug about two months ago. Ever since I had a pretty much 24 hour bug (threw up 3 times that day), I have had severe digestion issues! My regular doctors are so incredibly clueless it’s not even funny. They mentioned none of this, told me my concerns about my stools and lack of digestion, were all anxiety. Told me she didn’t want to hear about that and that un-digested food was completely normal. Like yeah right. Anything fatty is going right through me. The symptoms have been nothing short of terrible. Bloating, inflammation, difficulty breathing at times, horrible constipation, nausea, I even get super hot from it, like hot flashes and have to cool myself with cold water immediately. I spoke with a specialist on Friday, who told me about my Vegus nerve. I am getting quotes from doctors in Mexico. I have an appointment with a local surgeon on august 9th. After 12 years of being told it was too small to repair, I am done messing around. I have to get these symptoms addressed asap. I can no longer work or play with my kids, and I have a business to run, and a family to live for. So sorry to go on and on, unfortunately this is the most excitement I’ve had in some time. Seeing others with similar issues. You mentioning the hernia and nerve in the same sentence, gave me so much hope that my assumption could be correct! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
I have cervical instability which on top of that all of the symptoms you outline in most of your vagus nerve videos and the multiple physicians I’ve seen here in west Texas have no idea why I’m having the in-compasanating symptoms. This is so incredibly true to what I experience sporadically. I’ve looked into prolotherapy and have found it is not covered by insurance. I wish to God some one some where could properly diagnose me. It is embarrassing for me to even to have to interact with my family much less anyone else. I lose complete control of my body whenever I wake up with these symptoms.
Hello, I feel the same, I have cervical stenosis and herniations c3/4 c 5/6 on days I’m having a flare up I pull myself away from family because I’m a nervous reck and in pain. All I have is medical and pray to god everyday for some answers or guidance. I won’t give up hope but there’s days where it’s a struggle. I hope you are well 🙏
How this came to my feed & just happened to fit my conundrum; is a miracle in itself. This is something NONE of the gastro doctors I've seen have ever taken the time to consider. I have major neck damage & my gut does nothing, no gas, bloating or pain, but terrible constipation no matter how healthy & minimally I eat. I basically feel numb & nothingness in my gut. The doctors tell you "more fiber" which makes it majorly worse or they give you a drug like Linzess. I mentioned that I wondered if there were a possibility of my neck & back nerves interfering, and the doctor said "that would be very rare, one would only see that in someone with paralysis in a wheelchair." That doctor is the big deal in the Hudson Valley of NY... frightening. On a sidenote; he must hear about Jeff Goldblum on a daily basis.
Agreed, found this quite accidentally and it's so very fitting for what I've been dealing with for a few yrs, seems some type of "divine" intervention going on. The constipation is brutal, like my intestines have just shut down. I've got a whole list of other symptoms too that I just knew were connected. I've got old injuries which have caused some serious structural abnormalities. Who knew being crooked could cause such havoc lol.
Same experiences... also, the suggestion of "more fiber" rings true for me as well, I have found that raw vegetables is like nuking my GI system, and well-cooked veggies [broken down fiber] is like giving my GI system a present.
I fully agree with you doctor In my own experience after learning and stimulating the vagus nerve I am able to overcome many of my health problems which were debilitating me for a long period of time
I cannot believe this. I figured out my brachioradial pruritis is caused by my cervical instability and now you're listing every single other thing I have wrong.

You are a great doctor. I am going through this right now. I am in Atl and had endoscopy. I have Gastritis and Gerd. I know it started from anxiety and I know that it affected my vagus nerve. You are so right. They don’t see it that way.
Thank you for your kind comment, Cheryl. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like our team to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you the best in health along your journey to resolve your gastritis and GERD. Take care.
I developed tinnitus years ago - Likely from using an improperly adjusted leg press machine. The sharp pain in my neck, all the way up to the back of my head was instant, and the pain lingered for several days afterwards. Then the tinnitus began. Fast forward about 15 years: I still have tinnitus despite enrolling in a clinical trial using rTMS treatment and now I also have some of the gastrointestinal problems you described. I can only eat a child's portion in one sitting. I'm determined to find out how to (safely) do self-vagus nerve stimulation. My insurance deductible is too high so I'm on my own. Videos like yours provide valuable information for people like me, as well as others who might not be able to get a definitive diagnosis. I have much respect for you and so much gratitude. Thank you!
Hi Antonio, So glad to hear that you've finally gotten some answers. That's a long time to be dealing with these problems. If you would like our team to review your case in more detail, and possibly see you in our clinic, we'll be happy to talk with you in more detail. Wish you all the best in health.
This is the first time in 10 years I’ve heard someone address the vagus nerve. I’ve been suffering for all these year and finally someone is explaining what I’m going thru. I have spasms, diverticular disorder. Diarrhea, cramping. But most of all I have pain between where my gb used to be I have tingling all they the vagus nerve. I sleep with ice Packs a lot to calm it down it’s scary. Most docs look at u like ur crazy but vagus nerve can reek havoc on ur body. Thank God I found this video. I will see if my insurance will cover.

I just revisited this response. I recently moved to pompano beach. I still suffer with vagus nerve and tinnitus, Gi problems etc. Does Medicare cover any of the services you offer?
My digestive issues are so unpredictable and can get so bad that I'm turned off by food. It's creating a eating disorder. Not to where I'm starving but just not getting enough. I'm losing weight. I had extra weight to lose but now I don't. I need to get my chiropractor to pay more attention to this area. Thank you so much. All of this sounds exactly like my life.
I dealt with this just not having an appetite I used unhealthy means to gain weight then went to attempt to balance it out the weight didn’t distribute all that even so I need to learn more
More wine intake to prompt satiation works for me noted draw backs since I actually started to sweat before I didn’t sweat Yey my skin would moisten if exposed to prolonged heat but now I actually get the fat person sweat but it isn’t profuse also the scent is different. Just something to note with the removal of frequent exercise and juggling eating habits. Hope you find something useful to trigger ur satiation
Thanks for this. I am inspired to see a physician to check my neck alignment. YEARS of issues and I remember having a serious neck injury when I fainted and hit the deck with my face! Brilliant info.
Hi Jill - we are so glad that you were able to get more information from our video! We are praying for your complete healing and that you can find someone to check your alignment :)
@@samaraarroyo2787 ringing in ears I have autoimmune disease, stomach issues heart palpitations.. I have herniated discs in all my cervical. Sudden spikes of blood pressure etc ... too bad I can’t get prolotherapy unless my inflammation levels lower down
@@khloe2722 I am going through some weird things. I have weird throat and ear pains and sometimes painful tinnitus, I have a weird feeling like food stuck in my esophagus and won’t digest. I’m in constant pain for the last 2 months, I was thinking it was glossopharyngeal neuralgia but now I believe my vagus nerve could be damaged
The God will give u a way, just keep patience, some one like Dr.#Ross will be your angel... Explaining some great phenomenon that always goes unnoticed...
I love your videos so very much! I wish I lived closer to your office. I love in NC and have suffered for about 17 years with pinched nerve pain that brings on the most excruciating pain imaginable at times from C1C2 issues. Doctors here don't offer help or solutions. I feel you are the FIRST doctor to truly understand what some of us suffer through with these conditions and issues. God bless you 😇🙏
I met Dr. Hauser many years ago, when I used to live in Chicago. Now he also has an office in Florida. Perhaps, you can set up a telephone call with him, and see if you are prone to this kind of Prolotherapy I did with him.
Hi Louise, Thank you very much for your kind words. So sorry to hear that you have been suffering from pinched nerve degenerative pain for so long! We treat many patients who travel from North Carolina. We do offer Skype consults and case reviews if you would like our team to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health! Take care for now.
My wife is going through the pinch nerve situation as well and we started seeing a chiropractor since doctors aren't helping other than giving nausea medicine. The chiropractor is slowly but surely helping more with every appointment and we have a series of exercises to do that help. If it is the same as hers, you should try stretching your neck both left and right while lightly pinching the neck muscle. But ultimately, I suggest finding a chiropractor to get some help along with his advice.
@@DeantheGM I do stretch daily. I've had a chiropractor since I was 18. Also have a massage therapist at my chiropractor. When you consistently never get your quality of life back, to the point you can't even lift a box without paying for it later, or even sit in a car where certain seats and headrest put your spine in an uncomfortable way that caused you to deal with extra pain for a day or two, doctors should realize that you need further help. I LOVE HOW in Caring rehab's videos they mention working to CORRECT SPINAL ALIGNMENT! They want to solve your problem not just treat the symptoms. .... So glad your wife is doing better! Surely do wish her well!
This cervical explanation explains my floating stool...long term and worsening constipation... esophagus reflex and heartburn and nearly 3 years of leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory responsis
Vitamin B specifically vitamin B1 in the form of Benfotiamine stimulates the Vagus Nerve. Dosage: 150 mg x 2 capsules with 250 mg of Alpha lipoic Acid and omg I felt like a new person. Amazing! Thank you for this info ℹ️
@@thartsoe1 I would say 100%. Start by relaxing more and not obsessing about your symptoms. If they are too strong take something for relaxation... research low acidity... especially if you have constipation, you maybe need some enzymes do digest your food... your vagus nerve is off probably because of stress/anxiety and then your stomach can't work properly and than you get your choky feelings from that (and anxiety - globus sensation) and on all that you stress about symptoms :) I personally have app with my chiro but I already am going to therapy (mental), taking enzymes, probiotics, eating clean and meditating in the morning and in the before bed... and occasionally I pop something for relaxing... :D
Hi Mind Over Weight, Glad you were able to identify the cause of your symptoms and received help from your doctor to obtain a cure. Wish you all the best in health!
Yes ,it happens AFTER stress for me ,like I would be fine during stressful days and than I would crash immediately afterwards,it's extremely unpleasant
Thank you so much for this... I have ME/CFS and have experienced gut issues, especially bloating for years not understanding the cause. What you said about fat malabsorption, that you can tell you have it if your stool floats helped me to realize that’s my problem! Now I know why my skin is so dry too and why I did well on a keto diet. I’m so glad I found this video! Thanks again.
Wow, I went off my low carb diet and this started happening. I'm back on it now and already feeling better. Still need treatment for the vagus nerve though. I have tinnitus too.
Yes, that’s my understanding… I think I was lacking good fats. I didn’t stay on keto but I’m more aware of including healthy fats in my diet and it really seems to make a difference
Thank you for this great info! I have terrible urges to defecate every morning at the same time, and have watery diahrrea 5-10 times a day. Every time I think about going to the toilet, or get close to one, that's when the urge hits the most. I also have an extremely stressful job, and anxiety is really affecting me. I'm praying it is the vagus nerve. UPDATE: I found out that it was the inferior quality coffee that I was drinking! I switched to LOW ACID, clean coffee and it cut my watery stools by 70 percent. Then I switched to DECAF version of the same coffee, and that cut it to 95% stopped. I still get urges, maybe once during the day, and once at around 6 AM, but it's no longer watery. I think the 6AM urge comes from too much cortisol. That's when it peaks. So I narrowed it down to 1. Unclean, cheap caffeinated coffee 2. Acid from the coffee 3. Too much cortisol.
Did u ever find out what it is? I'm having issues myself, I get dizzy when I've git to go poo . Thats everyday almost . I wonder if its the vagus nerve, or what the hell is wrong with me

Very informative video. Eye opening discussion about the hidden cause of digestive problems. Doctors used to treat digestive problems with ppi etc which makes the situation worse.
Hi Nettie Marie, Happy to share our experience and what we learn along the way in our practice and research. Glad that you found it helpful. Take care.
I had surgery to remove a schwannoma from my vagus nerve and have many of these problems. Dysphagia, Gastroparesis, inflammation, bloating, neck stiffness, migraines, etc. It was cute when you laughed about the banana poop. ;-) Thanks for the video.
@@linam8508 Hi Lina! I’m so sorry you’re suffering. The surgery actually caused all of these symptoms, unfortunately. I’m working with an Ayurvedic Practitioner to calm my system as much as possible to hopefully ease these symptoms. It’s tough when the vagus is damaged. Hope you find some answers and healing! 💞✨
I am certain I have disruption to my vagus nerve due to cervical spine spondylosis,putting pressure on my head and eyes. I also have reduced sense of taste and smell, hearing loss and worsening eyesight and depression... .....I believe all due to cervical spine compression and vagus nerve compression. I found exercises and cold packs to help the vagus nerve.......I believe I also need treatment for my cervical spine .....two vertebrae are sitting on top of one another and there are problems with C1 and 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and.6. My nervous system has been severely affected . Also my hands have poor circulation and I am always cold, which I believe is also due to the effect on the vagus nerve. I would appreciate Dr. Hauser's recommendations.....thank you...
I've been passing out since childhood..not often..my Drs must be dumb..they just found an ulcer too 🤔 A fib but no heart issue..i just wonder. Thank God for UA-cam and doctors willing to share info 💜💜💜
Sorry to hear that, Mary T. Glad that you have found some possible resources to explore for your case. We wish you all the best in health and a happy new year!
So grateful to information. I had a very traumatic life , pushing on.. Several seizures along with vomiting and dizziness most of the time ending up in the ER. Once staying for 4 days for acute pankritus not being a drinker or any good reason the Dr would send me to a general physician who offered perscriptions for stress I went a natural route. Did there imaging and wow finally with nueroscience and a better understanding. I've started meditating , reading , listening changed my career to have less trauma to get control of my nervous system
Hi Becky, Thanks for sharing your story. We commend you on the hard work you did in your habits and personal life to help get control of your nervous system. That's excellent! We wish you all the best in health. Happy New Year!
Dude ya cracked me up with the Poop scoop, but its my normal dialogue with clients so i can relate. Your videos are way better and informative. Keep it up, and thanks fir sharing the common sense code.
This make so much sense. I have been having major neck pain. X rays showed severe arthritis but MRI didn’t alarm my PCP, and I am currently waiting to go to a spinal specialist for my nerve issues. I have noticed a large increase in GI issues since having neck issues/nerve. Getting nauseous after every meal, lots of burping and farting, etc.
I’m pretty sure I just suffered my 1st panic attack, later in the day after my 1st chiropractic adjustment. Never felt that way before and have had 2 smaller episodes since then. Been going on 3 weeks now. I especially sense it coming after eating and with a certain posture on the couch, and not during any other time...
Hi Michael, Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear that this is happening to you after a chiropractic adjustment. Not sure why the adjustment was done or to what segments of your spine, but perhaps reaching out to them would be helpful to determine what happened and what is recommended to restore your function. If you are not gaining traction with resolving your symptoms, and would like our team to potentially help you here, we'd be happy to review your medical case in much greater detail. We wish you all the best in health and getting to the bottom of what is happening with your positional symptoms. Take care.
Yes, food (eating) and posture affects my anxiety type symptoms at times. A puzzle I've been attempting to put together for a few yrs..so glad I stumbled on these videos. Seemed my autonomous nervous system was outta wack, just wasn't sure why altho I'm pretty sure I have a hiatal hernia..low and behold that could be due to vagus nerve issues as well.
I have had severe chronic pain that started in my neck at age 23. I thought it was all caused from an emotional trauma that I experienced that turned into severe anxiety lasting for several years, then the pain. It started with a crunchiness feeling and sound in the muscles in neck. Then the pain went down into the back. It feels like a constant intense aching, burning feeling. Any amount of stress, or sitting differently, exacerbates it. I have met with many Chiro's who told me I have severe anterior pelvic tilt and some other posture issues, which I spent time trying to correct. I have always felt in my gut (which I also have always had problems with as well) that the source of the problem is not directly related to how I stand and sit but something else.
I was suffering from many health problems before learning to know about the vagus nerve stimulation and energisation After practising it I am able to live better bereft of all those problems
This makes SO MUCH SENSE!!! Lordy I have had back and neck issues all my life and now this is making sense. Yu are a peach, I love Yur delivery, Yu make it fun and have relieved much of my stress over this.
Hi Tony Pro, Sorry you are dealing with all of this. Glad that the video was able to help. Hope you are able to get resolution and stabilize your spine and avoid surgery, if possible. If you would ever like for our team to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for DMX and Prolotherapy in our clinics, we would be happy to do that. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website or email to tell us more about your case. Wish you all the best in health!
I have had Ulcerated Colitis for 40 years. Interestingly, everytime a chiropractor adjusts my mid/low back it causes a flare that can last months. I've had to limit adjustments to emergencies only. I've explained this to each Chiro I have visited and none of them could give me an explanation..... frustrating because the connection seemed obvious to me.
I have unexplained (left untreated) gastroperesis, severe GERD, connective tissue disorder/Lupus (SLE), TMJ, diarrhea/constipation, severe pain issues almost burns, in the past year I started having unexplained hoarseness and voice changes as well as heart issues such as bradycardia and PACs, and much much more. I always thought it was caused by my Lupus, and I’m only 32.. I’ve been dealing with these issues since I was a kid, had seizures at 7 they never knew why but they stopped when I was 14. But as an adult I had a few more but they only lasted a short time. I recently learned about the vagus nerve which is what brought me to this video as I’m trying to research this cause I believe it’s possibly the root cause to all my issues. I will be scheduling an appt with my rheumatologist very very soon to try and get in to a neurologist.. very helpful! Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thanks for making this video! I have been suffering with Sphincter of Oddi for several years with no relief from the stents the doctor put in. Now lately when I have a bowel movement I start throwing up. I have degenerative disc disease throughout my spine. I’m going to speak to my neurologist about getting some treatment for this.
I've had my neck fused, C3, 4, 5 & 6. I still have digestive issues but a CT scan shows nothing abnormal. I do have ilocecal problems off and on. I visit a chiropractor about once a month but really don't get much relief. I'm impressed by this video and now thinking that my problem is coming from the C1 and 2 areas.
I have reflux disease and sinus problem on right side every morning. I also had a C6/7 fusion op a year ago. I am working on getting full range motion. I never knew vagus nerve could have been a part of years of discomfort for me. I never knew neck and digestive issues were linked.
Hi Koriena, Thanks for sharing. Glad you are learning more about the many connections of the vagus nerve to help our vital organs function properly.

Dr, Ross....... Wow . My God, you are so SPOT ON..... After surfing the Web for years, I finally have stumbled on to you and your relevant dissertation . I have been seeking recognition of this from my many doctors.... Orthopedics, Neurologists, Psychologist, GIs, Rheumatologists, etc., I have a consortium of many spinal issues : Stenosis in many areas of the spine (cervical, thorasic, and Lumbar), DDD, Facet Arthritis, Arthritis in my Hips, knees, and now in the ankles. Moreover, I have suffered from IBS for at least 35 years . I have a shorter right leg stemming from a fractured right femur at age 15 (I'm 69 now), the growth plate was fractured and did Not grow while I was in Traction for 6 weeks and then a full body cast for 3.5 months. After the cast was removed, the Ortho doctor realized that my right leg is shorter by an inch. THAT shorter right leg which was left unaddressed (by wearing adjustd shoes perhaps?) has Wreaked complete HAVOC to my spine and well being. I also have 25 degree dextroscoliosis. During the past 15 years more and more deterioration has occurred . My neck gets stiff as a Rock, Cricks and Clacks and that also occurs with great stiffness throughout my spine. I have investigated and learned the extreme importance of the Vagus Nerve. BUT , you are the first medical informist that has alerted to the Cervical spine's spine affect to that Vagus Nerve and hence the main functions in the body. I could go on and on...... I have been to 6 Spinal / Neural Surgeons - No Surgery for me . Too much arthritis in the Lumbar spine. I have been tom 5 different Chiropractors - some little help. Acupuncture all minimal help. I'll leave with this because in addition to all the physical issues, the Chroinc pain and stiffness comes intense anxiety and anxiety attacks. I have suffered from Anxiety attacks for over 35 years. I also saw a web entry by a physician from Canada on a Pain Web site. He emphasized in his article / report on how the Squeezing of the spinal cord (herniated discs, stenosis , etc.) will cause chronic anxiety as the constant physical maladies will affect the Psyche with Pain, Referred Pain, muscle cramping, on and on.... It all makes so much Common Sense once you become educated on the effects of the central nervous system and especially the Vagus Nerve - the Body' Life Blood , if you will.
Hi Aldo, Oh wow, you have been going through a lot for these past few decades. Sounds like you have taken it as an opportunity to really educate yourself in regard to the vagus nerve and the connection to overall health- that's excellent! Not sure if you've already seen our 3-part webinar on the vagus nerve, but it might be something of interest to you if you want to check that out in our webinar playlist. We would be honored to review your case and see you in our center to hopefully get some of the answers you haven't been able to get from the other doctors. Please feel free to reach out and tell us more about your symptoms as well as upload any pertinent medical reports you'd like us to consider: www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now
If you loved this video, you may also want to know that Gut health is so important for overall health! A survey from 2018 of 71,000 Americans found that 61% had at least 1 bothersome gut issue! The most common gut symptom was acid reflux or GERD, then abdominal pain, then bloating.
So informative.. I'm a disabled veteran with years of being sent to multiple doctors with no help to my issues. I have spinal damage as well as nerve damage. I will be calling.
Thank you for your kind words, I_n_sis T. We are glad that it helped connect the dots on your situation. Of course, we'll be happy to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our center. Give us a call anytime, or email us. Take good care for now.
they wanted to take my gallbladder out STAT but I said no. Started taking stomach acid and enzymes and 7 years later I have been fine. Good to see a doctor that understands root causes. My scoliosis causes alot of these type of problems but keeping the atlas vertabrae aligned and taking enzymes has changed my life.
I ate shredded raw beets and lemon juice twice a day; ate only 2 small meals with no fats each day for a few weeks and took Now Super enzymes and Betain HCL (4-6 caps) per meal. Then I started increasing to normal meals but small.
Ross , you are an divine angel!!! Congratulations my friend! You described all the symptoms exactly, but I had a respiratory virus in 1996. I took anti-TB treatment for 4 months. But I was left with a very aggressive weather addiction. What natural product could I take for meteorodependency, considering the fact that I have a very bad cervical spondylosis. I think so: Before the weather changes, for example: the weather changes from cold to warm or vice versa, weather dependence, spondylosis, vagus nerve, parasympathetic nervous system, literally kill me. With respect and honest friendship, Erwin from Hunedoara, Romania. 🤗
I have every symptom your mentioning severe gerd digestive problems, acid reflux thats painful, ringing in my ears, vertigo, tachycardia, at night bradycardia ect an no doctor will listen to me here in AZ when i say i believe its my vagus nerve. Im afraid to eat because it enhances my symptoms. I dont know who to turn to
Hi Kendria, Very sorry to hear about everything you are experiencing with your health. :( Cervicovagopathy symptoms can be so debilitating! Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for us to hear this and for patients to not find much help locally. Very few doctors specialize in treating upper cervical instability and vagus nerve degeneration. Thus, our center treats patients from all over the world, tho right now many patients cannot travel, especially from internationally. If traveling may be an option for you in the future, we would be happy to review your case in much greater detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinic. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website, email, or phone. We wish you all the best in healing!
I started having problems shortly after an EGD procedure in December 2019. My problems are asthma, tachycardia, pressure in my chest and almost at times losing my voice. Today my heart rate went over 120. I found a place on the internet that spoke of holding your nose and mouth then try breathing out to stimulate the Vagus nerve. It worked my heart rate was back to normal in about 30-45 mins.
Hi Kenny, Thanks for sharing that. Yes, there are lots of ways to help stimulate the vagus nerve. When it comes to having all of those conditions though, we take it very seriously, as we have some of the most complex and difficult cases come to our clinics with structural problems in the neck that need to be corrected in order to resolve these issues. This way the person does not have to constantly be on alert or having to manage increasingly debilitating symptoms. If you would like our help on your case, we'd be happy to talk with you in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health and permanently resolving the issues you're having after your EGD procedure. Take care.
Wow, by accident saw this information last night. I have ankalosing spondolysis for 50 years. Lots of fusion and Kyphosis. No physical pain ,but get anxiety, panic attacks, bowel issues,blood pressure spikes. I am active with bike rides, when it was warmer exercised in Gulf. I meditate, do breathing exercises, slowing down my breathing. I still work as a hairdresser. Would like to know if your therapy or help can ease my symptoms. .. I am on Medicare, your work sounds amazing. My life has been one is seeking to be straight. My body has taught me a lot of lessons. Still hope to be normal. As boogie as you try to make yourself, I know that you are brilliance in motion. Good job.
Hi Salon Mirella, Thanks for sharing your story and glad you have been able to stay active. Hope that you found some content here or in our other videos on the vagus nerve that may help in your case. Our team is always happy to do case reviews to see if someone sounds like a good candidate for our center. We are not a part of Medicare. We always have our prices and more information about becoming a patient on our site that you may want to check out and see if this is something that feels right for you. www.caringmedical.com/head-neck-specialist-visit/ We wish you all the best in health and appreciate you sharing your story and kind comments. Happy New Year and we hope 2021 brings you many blessings!
My issues are starting to make a lot of sense now. Have been having a bunch of heath issues, including ibs and acid reflux, since getting a concussion 3 years ago. Man, it’s likely all caused by the undiagnosed (until this year) neck issue!
Sorry to hear about your post-concussion issues MrChippinator. We're glad that you're looking into what more could be going on to cause the symptoms. If you would like our help on your case, please feel free to reach out to us directly and tell us more about your symptoms and medical history: www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now Wish you all the best in health and recovery!
Now that I am thinking about it, my neck does tend to be sore whenever I have issues with the way my innards function. My spine has a congenital curve in it - not quite enough for me to have scoliosis, just enough to make my life miserable at times. I'm not sure which I dislike the most; having a backache and trouble with the hip & knee on one side, or having my C1 & C2 vertebrae getting compressed enough to affect my lizard brain and causing me to get mad at almost everything, like the leaky kitchen faucet. I have learned that easy yoga and stretches help a lot, but I avoid poses like headstand or anything requiring me to balance on one leg that would make any problems worse instead of better. Anyway, I'll always think about the digestive banana - sometimes I make more of the banana puree that comes in baby food jars. The other extreme is like some kind of hard fruit or vegetable, which I have not yet determined. Hey, a sense of humour goes a long way to coping with lots of things in life.
Hi Melanie, Thanks for sharing your story and your sense of humor! :) All of the symptoms you've described make sense to us based on what we see in the clinic. We hope that you are able to get to the bottom of your symptoms so you can get on with your life. If you feel frustrated at the lack of progress with your current treatment, and would like our team to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our center, we'd be happy to do that. Take care for now.
I go to a chiropractor every other month and she does my neck back etc. my gut and intestines seem sluggish and I’ve always had trouble. Mucus is produced by my nose (post makes drip) and my esophagus to protect the lining of the throat from stomach acids and pepsin. The mucus is extreme and it’s exhausting to get up and I have to get up during the night to clear my airway( sometimes scary) having a lot of difficulties getting the mucus up. I’m doing self maneuvers to get the hiatal hernia out of the diaphragm and taking enzymes to help with digestion. Silent reflux is nuts but here I am. You name it, I’ve tried it.
You are 100% right my vagus nerve was accidentally severed during an anti-reflux surgery of the stomach(nissen) since my life has become a living hell. The vagus nerve is too important.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I had an accidental truncated vagotomy my stomach especially the upper part does not contract. I am trying to find a way to regenerate my vagus nerve but for the moment it is impossible to do so. I have had 4 abdominal chrirugies instead of one because of the first one which destroyed my gastric motility. The first one was an anti-reflux (nissen) surgery then hernias appeared as well as inflammation. All your information is so true. I use the tens eco 2 in transcutaneous. I would like to have an internal stimulator implanted but the problem is that they do not recommend it for people who have had a truncal vagotomy. Which external stimulator do you recommend for me?
I have all those symptoms, as a car wreck in 2007 led to multiple cervical spine surgeries where the multiple fusions failed and a posterior fusion with hardware done. However, my neurosurgeon retired in 2018 and I haven’t been able to find a new neurosurgeon due to the complexity of my injury and failed surgeries thats left me in constant severe pain, and my family doctor had a new MRI done which shows yet another disc herniation. At this point as I’ve lost a great deal weight of more than 50 lbs. mostly i suspect is muscle loss over my entire body as I’ve become extremely limited to physical activity, i keep an upset stomach and unable to eat much because the constant pain makes me sick to my stomach, and I also have trouble swallowing, severe headaches, total body aches and pains, severe muscle spasms, etc. among other things. Just don’t know where to turn these days especially when I’m unable to find a doctor willing to accept me as a patient....
Hi Shannon, thank you for sharing your story. Very sorry to hear all that you have been experiencing for the last 13 years since the accident. We take on many complex cases here, patients like yourself who have been too complicated for most general practices. You may want to check out our 3-part vagus nerve and cervical instability webinar series (in our webinar playlist), if you would like to delve further into the work we do here with regard to diagnostic motion testing, Prolotherapy, and curve correction, as well as more about the vagus nerve functioning in general. You can also reach out to our team directly for a more detailed case review and see if you sound like a good candidate for our neck center. www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now We wish you all the best in health and healing!
I’m not even sure you’ll see my first comment but, wanted to add another piece: along w the constant diarrhea/stomach issues I do have constant pain/cracking in my neck, as well as (for years) tinnitus, nonstop post-nasal drip that’s very thick & annoying, and also not sure if this is worth mentioning but I’m always “overheating”, or sweat easily... -Regards (again!)
@@TzadikTheManic I also have tinnitus (which I’ve learned to block out), stomach issues, always overheating and sweating. Did you ever get to the bottom of your issues?
Hi Sweet Sally, Thank you for your kind feedback. Glad that the videos on our channel have been helpful. If travel to Fort Myers, FL was possible for you in the future, our team is always happy to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good fit for our center. We wish you all the best in health and recovering from your cervical instability symptoms! Take care.
This sounds exactly what i have. I have two fused vertibra in my neck. I have the crunchy sounds, stiff neck and gerd . i go to my chiropractor every month. It helps out the pain in all my bad misalignments.
This makes so much sense! I have had horrible IBS for years (can barely eat or drink anything without pain and diarrhrea) and just recently thought I had early dumping syndrome specifically. After watching this video, though, it seems with my jaw pain, scoliosis, and stomach pain, might be the cause of vagus nerve/cervical instability somehow. Maybe prolotherapy would work!!! Do you have any thoughts?
Mine would last only about 30 mins or less as long as I didnt eat or drink anything for the rest of the day. My GI put me on alosetron, which actually helped so much! I can now eat again like normal without side affects.
I've been struggling with my bowels for like almost 30 years! Then got a neck injury , so that hasn't helped. I get chiropractic adjustments every now and then that do help, but I always thought it was my thoracic / lumbar region causing it. Who knows, but you've opened up a new door for me. Thank you. PS. The way you cracked up about the bowel movements was too cute.
Selena Cole Give this a try: just a wild guess: try doing regular pushups - I relieved my symptoms by building up my neck muscles so I had a thick neck. 20-30 each morning, then the same at night. Also try inversion therapy to increase bloodflow to the head and neck.
I'm almost crying...I've been having issues all pertaining to this. Clicking and grinding of the neck, bloating, acid reflux, dizziness, my stomach is emptying slower according to an upper endoscopy, my bilirubin is slightly elevated but all tests come back fairly normal. If this is it I will be so relieved.
This describes 90% of my problems. Thank you. From an MD, finally, so heartening to have the acknowledgment of what I suspected. Who do I see to verify and treat?
Hi Kai, Glad that you found some of the content applicable to your case. Hope it helps you narrow down what type of specialist can help you overcome your symptoms. If you feel that you would like our team to potentially help you at our center, we'd be happy to talk in more detail about your case. www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now Wish you all the best in health in 2021!
Yes, I wish a Dr. Could diagnose this. But I think drugs are never the answer. So for over 15 years I have been coping with avoiding the foods that cause gastrointestinal freeze & migraines.
HOW AWESOME TO HAVE A MEDICAL DOCTOR talking about the connection of the nervous system and body function. Not talking about drug deficiency. THANK YOU!!!!
So true!
I didn’t think that was allowed for a medicine man
What great info! Imagine you don't make/have enough stomach acid, your pancreas doesn't release enzymes for digestion, so you get heartburn....and what does a conventional doctor do? Prescribe an acid blocker further causing damage to your gut. Unreal.
Please kindly continue posting your much appreciated videos 😌
Doctors don't look any further than their own training, they won't bend to other forms of healing!
Finally answers all 6 doctors couldn’t/wouldn’t tell me. This is amazing help.
Happy we could help in any way. Wish you all the best in health. If you want to talk with us in more detail about your case, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Couldn't... It's a specialty education
@@1customermaniac ahh, that is good to know.
Muse i know what you mean I’ve been seen by about 23 doctors
This is uncanny how many things I deal with that fall in line with these symptoms. Palpitations, tinnitus, GERD that seemingly came out of nowhere, back and neck pain, quick to “flight” reactions
for GERD, apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp in 8 oz water/day - sip whenever throughout the day or maybe just take 2 times. Can add honey.
Me too! I also have tingling and numbness in my feet on top of these symptoms.
Me three! Intermittent POTS-like symptoms/insomnia, intermittent labyrinthitis/Eustachian Tube dysfunction, GERD (more in the past than now since I switched to Paleo Diet), leaky gut/IBS/constipation, tinnitus, neck and back pain, lifelong allergies, sinusitis/allergic rhinitis, eczema (especially in winter), left hand arthritis since February, even chronic/recurring nonbacterial prostatis/CPPS.
@@cathrynp3491 Did you watch the video? If it is caused because of instability the acv will not help.
@@jerryjohnson9531 Try acupuncture! It works for neuropathy and other neuro symptoms
Funny how chiropractors have been saying this for over 100 years are were called quacks the whole time. Good to see someone do their homework!!!
Hi The Centered Path, Yes, in one of the recent videos with Drs. Hauser and Hutcheson, he compliments the chiropractic field as a whole for following the neurology of these conditions/symptoms. In our center, we find the combination of Prolotherapy and Chiropractic care can be really helpful. Thanks for taking a moment to leave your feedback. Wish you all the best in health!
I have had chiro for years and years after a bad accident, it did not help. So maybe this won't neither. 😫
Why can’t he say you need a “chiropractic adjustment”?? Always has to be an injection or a pill with MD’s. 🙄
@@dianearnold5381 Hi Diane, Thanks for the feedback. If this is the first you're seeing Dr. Hauser, you may be surprised how much work he's done in the field of natural medicine and the dedication our whole clinic has toward getting patients off unnecessary medications and breaking the need for addictive pain killers. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment, not like cortisone or botulinum toxin. We also have a wonderful chiropractor on our team here. The combination of the Prolotherapist and Chiropractic approach has been great for our cervical dysstructure cases. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion of medical doctors too. Just wanted to share that with you for what it's worth. We wish you all the best in health!
@@dianearnold5381 because like they say, if you go to a guy with a hammer (a prescription pad or a scalpel) everything looks like a nail.
This guy is a genius! Doctors never wanted to say this ( he is absolutely amazing and a life saver Gods Blessing’s
Thank you for such kind words, Flora. Wishing you all the best in health!
Dr. Hauser.....Thank you kindly for sharing this informative video. It is frustrating how majority of doctors, even gastrologist don't explain this to the patient. I guess we have to educate our own self with knowledge from physicians like you who really care about their patients. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your caring spirit ! It is much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words, Caroline. Glad you connected with the information and found it helpful in your case. Wishing you all the best in health!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy God bless you all.
I have been complaining to my Primary and Gastroenterologist of symptoms that seem to be connected to the vagus nerve. They both look at me as if they’ve never heard of this happening. It so frustrating. I’m so thankful I found this video that confirms what I’ve read and been feeling.

Exactly -self education
It can also cause seizures. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy because of it but my dad brought me to a chiropractor after the hospital's couldn't figure it out. After a treatment plan the vertebrae stopped pressing on my vagus nerve and my grand mal seizures stopped completely. It's been about 13 years and I haven't had a seizure of any kind since. This seems to be something that people haven't quite figured out yet that really would help a lot of seizure sufferers and even rid them of their seizures completely like it did for me.
I have Epilepsy also. The seizures affect my dogestive system. And have gotten better by going to a chiropractor.
what kind of adjustment your chiropractor was doing to you? I’m going tomorrow to my chiropractor for the first time and I’m very curious what to tell him about this issue that I’m suspecting that I have.
I have had xmany health issues throughout my life. Around 1985 I started having neck issues. It started with a reverse curvature of the C spine. Now I have disc desiccation, broad based herniation, stenosis, spurs and other issues I don't understand from C1 to C7. Until I watched your videos, I had no idea of health problems related to it that I have. GERD, IBS, ringing in my ears, anxiety, horrible headaches, vision, dry eyes and mouth, skin and muscle, trouble swallowing at times, dizziness and blood pressure fluctuations so crazy I had to call an ambulance twice. It was dangerously high the first time and dropped so low that my BP machine couldn't read it the 2nd. I actually dropped to the floor when it was low. The doctors did a lot of tests but had no idea why it was happening. All tests of my heart etc were fine. It still jumps around. I've been on BP medication for 20 years. I'm having a new MRI next week because the last one was 3 years ago. Thank you so very much for this information. I will be talking to my spine doctor about it.
sounds exactly like me and i cant eat any cereal grains or tubers. i just eat veg fruit and lots of meats and my digestive system calms down a lot but i do have to have digestive enzymes and magnesium everyday. train doing costochondritis back stretches as it will let you have bigger breath intakes and also try squatting/cardio multiple times a week as the legs require more oxygen so its best to get them effiecient. i have had every test under the sun and the doctors could never figure my issues out but i came to the realization that my whole body is out of whack as i constantly felt the same symptoms as you but its better when i stay away from carbs completely make sure i stretch and relax parts of my body. do you have hypermobility by any chance as it runs in my family and we all have the same issue.
@@djsubliminalreeve my daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlose, hyper mobility. She said it's hereditary and she got it from me. The symptoms are just about the same too.
which doctor to consult for this
@@nijabudeenmohammedn5354 for what issue? I do have Ehlers Danlose. I was diagnosed over a month ago by my Pain Management Dr.

So glad this came up on my feed......wow, this explains so many of the symptoms that ive had for many many years. Yes, it has gotten worse over the past few years. Also, I really think that tinnitus is a byproduct of vagus nerve problems. Thank you Dr Hauser.
And to the neck doc I go
Tinnitus most experience is also likely from the massive electromagnetic pollution we are being bombarded with. Just wait till Fiveegee is completely rolled out
It’s really great to see Steve-O making the most of his sobriety
Bahahahah yes he has come a very long way! For firing fire crackers out of his rectum to medically treating rectums!
🤣🤣🤣
Killer 😂😂😂
Lol
I can't get that song "video killed the radio star" outa my head!
What a breath of fresh air, doc! My loved one has many symptoms which I believe are related to the vagus nerve, at least partly due to a possible sliding hiatus hernia, including left arm pain which is often relieved by belching, shortness of breath when he bends over, occasional IBS, lack of appetite/weight loss, occasional lip tingling, ongoing anxiety, neck pain/grinding, headache, occasional high blood pressure, lightheadedness/dizziness (possibly from ace inhibitor). Of course, because of his age his doc wants to put him through all the typical cardiac tests first. I get it, but I really don’t think his heart is the issue. His EKG was perfect, he does not have chest pain or nausea, his LDL is a bit high but so is his HDL and his triglycerides are low. The preponderance of evidence, and the timing of the symptoms suggests a vagus nerve issue, in my humble, uneducated opinion.
@Tatiana Coll If it's constipation, oil helps like castor oil, nasty but it works. To digest food get good quality enzymes. I use Caring Sunshine, they're online. For constipation it's a constant balance of fiber and water, so what helps me immensely is Celery Juice. It activates hydrochloric acid. Fruit fiber like pears, apricots, different varieties of apples can be too much fiber for me. Eat your water like melons, strawberries, etc... and it doesn't hurt to research and get a good para cleanse. I get mine from the source I mentioned before, it's natural Chinese herbs by the way. I have suffered with most of the things mentioned in this video for the last 8yrs and this video is life changing for me. I was finally able to get linzess a year ago, and it does work for constipation. I'm just wanting to go on my own. Sorry for the long text, but I want to pass the word around to help someone else because this issue is a nightmare and the medical field is refusing to let us know about these things. Best Wishes!
I have the exact same symptoms but also have pots now. After several tests all they found was a small hiatal hernia. I believe it’s pushing on my vagus nerve and messed with my nervous system. I did think that caused the digestive issues but now I’m thinking a lack of acid caused the hiatal hernia??
How is your loved one doing now?
#Yasmine Love I have all of the same problems. I just left a comment on this video. I had no idea how many of my health problems are related to my neck. I hope your loved one is getting the help he/she needs now that all of their issues are explained.
@@lozza1927 I have a small hiatal hernia as well. Well it was diagnosed as small when it was detected in mid 2010. Waiting on a new endoscopy now, but I’m having more issues than ever after a stomach bug about two months ago. Ever since I had a pretty much 24 hour bug (threw up 3 times that day), I have had severe digestion issues! My regular doctors are so incredibly clueless it’s not even funny. They mentioned none of this, told me my concerns about my stools and lack of digestion, were all anxiety. Told me she didn’t want to hear about that and that un-digested food was completely normal. Like yeah right. Anything fatty is going right through me. The symptoms have been nothing short of terrible. Bloating, inflammation, difficulty breathing at times, horrible constipation, nausea, I even get super hot from it, like hot flashes and have to cool myself with cold water immediately. I spoke with a specialist on Friday, who told me about my Vegus nerve. I am getting quotes from doctors in Mexico. I have an appointment with a local surgeon on august 9th. After 12 years of being told it was too small to repair, I am done messing around. I have to get these symptoms addressed asap. I can no longer work or play with my kids, and I have a business to run, and a family to live for. So sorry to go on and on, unfortunately this is the most excitement I’ve had in some time. Seeing others with similar issues. You mentioning the hernia and nerve in the same sentence, gave me so much hope that my assumption could be correct! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Yes he has hernia sliding up this doc dosent know hernia
Love to see a Dr that has a good laugh, but can be serious. Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
I have cervical instability which on top of that all of the symptoms you outline in most of your vagus nerve videos and the multiple physicians I’ve seen here in west Texas have no idea why I’m having the in-compasanating symptoms. This is so incredibly true to what I experience sporadically. I’ve looked into prolotherapy and have found it is not covered by insurance. I wish to God some one some where could properly diagnose me. It is embarrassing for me to even to have to interact with my family much less anyone else. I lose complete control of my body whenever I wake up with these symptoms.
Hello, I feel the same, I have cervical stenosis and herniations c3/4 c 5/6 on days I’m having a flare up I pull myself away from family because I’m a nervous reck and in pain. All I have is medical and pray to god everyday for some answers or guidance. I won’t give up hope but there’s days where it’s a struggle. I hope you are well 🙏
Man can I relate to this..the flare ups are so unpredictable and make everything so miserable.
How this came to my feed & just happened to fit my conundrum; is a miracle in itself.
This is something NONE of the gastro doctors I've seen have ever taken the time to consider.
I have major neck damage & my gut does nothing, no gas, bloating or pain, but terrible constipation no matter how
healthy & minimally I eat.
I basically feel numb & nothingness in my gut.
The doctors tell you "more fiber" which makes it majorly worse or they give you a drug like Linzess.
I mentioned that I wondered if there were a possibility of my neck & back nerves interfering, and the doctor said
"that would be very rare, one would only see that in someone with paralysis in a wheelchair."
That doctor is the big deal in the Hudson Valley of NY... frightening.
On a sidenote; he must hear about Jeff Goldblum on a daily basis.
Agreed, found this quite accidentally and it's so very fitting for what I've been dealing with for a few yrs, seems some type of "divine" intervention going on. The constipation is brutal, like my intestines have just shut down. I've got a whole list of other symptoms too that I just knew were connected. I've got old injuries which have caused some serious structural abnormalities. Who knew being crooked could cause such havoc lol.
@@crazyratlady3438 👍
Same experiences... also, the suggestion of "more fiber" rings true for me as well, I have found that raw vegetables is like nuking my GI system, and well-cooked veggies [broken down fiber] is like giving my GI system a present.
I fully agree with you doctor In my own experience after learning and stimulating the vagus nerve I am able to overcome many of my health problems which were debilitating me for a long period of time
Hi Ashokenakka9666 - that's amazing! So happy that you have done some research in finding healing!

Trauma and ptsd fight flight freeze fawn issues is what is the root cause of many issues connected to this vegus nerve
Very much agree with this, this is why I ended up on this video x
Agree 100%. It isn't always a structural issue, often it's trapped trauma in the body.
Can’t agree more with you Cheryl Wisher Limberlife.
Makes sense. If you are always tense it will cause your muscles to pull your cervical area out of alignment.
@@katydid594 It can definitely be both.
You are a great doctor. I am going through this right now. I am in Atl and had endoscopy. I have Gastritis and Gerd. I know it started from anxiety and I know that it affected my vagus nerve. You are so right. They don’t see it that way.
Thank you for your kind comment, Cheryl. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like our team to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you the best in health along your journey to resolve your gastritis and GERD. Take care.
Thank you Doc.
I’ve been having panic attacks too!
I was waiting to hear the connection with anxiety. I have all these plus anxiety.
Praying for your anxiety to go away
GREAT doctor! We need doctors like you!🙏
😊 thank you for your kind words, Vera. Wish you all the best!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Don't mention it! It's just the truth...👋👋🙏
I developed tinnitus years ago - Likely from using an improperly adjusted leg press machine. The sharp pain in my neck, all the way up to the back of my head was instant, and the pain lingered for several days afterwards. Then the tinnitus began. Fast forward about 15 years: I still have tinnitus despite enrolling in a clinical trial using rTMS treatment and now I also have some of the gastrointestinal problems you described. I can only eat a child's portion in one sitting. I'm determined to find out how to (safely) do self-vagus nerve stimulation. My insurance deductible is too high so I'm on my own. Videos like yours provide valuable information for people like me, as well as others who might not be able to get a definitive diagnosis. I have much respect for you and so much gratitude. Thank you!
This explains everything I've been dealing with since 16 and I'm 28 now. THANK-YOU
Hi Antonio, So glad to hear that you've finally gotten some answers. That's a long time to be dealing with these problems. If you would like our team to review your case in more detail, and possibly see you in our clinic, we'll be happy to talk with you in more detail. Wish you all the best in health.
This is the first time in 10 years I’ve heard someone address the vagus nerve. I’ve been suffering for all these year and finally someone is explaining what I’m going thru. I have spasms, diverticular disorder. Diarrhea, cramping. But most of all I have pain between where my gb used to be I have tingling all they the vagus nerve. I sleep with ice
Packs a lot to calm it down it’s scary. Most docs look at u like ur crazy but vagus nerve can reek havoc on ur body. Thank God I found this video. I will see if my insurance will cover.

I just revisited this response. I recently moved to pompano beach. I still suffer with vagus nerve and tinnitus, Gi problems etc. Does Medicare cover any of the services you offer?
My digestive issues are so unpredictable and can get so bad that I'm turned off by food. It's creating a eating disorder. Not to where I'm starving but just not getting enough. I'm losing weight. I had extra weight to lose but now I don't. I need to get my chiropractor to pay more attention to this area. Thank you so much. All of this sounds exactly like my life.
I dealt with this just not having an appetite I used unhealthy means to gain weight then went to attempt to balance it out the weight didn’t distribute all that even so I need to learn more
More wine intake to prompt satiation works for me noted draw backs since I actually started to sweat before I didn’t sweat Yey my skin would moisten if exposed to prolonged heat but now I actually get the fat person sweat but it isn’t profuse also the scent is different. Just something to note with the removal of frequent exercise and juggling eating habits. Hope you find something useful to trigger ur satiation
Thanks for this. I am inspired to see a physician to check my neck alignment. YEARS of issues and I remember having a serious neck injury when I fainted and hit the deck with my face! Brilliant info.

I love your videos so very much! I wish I lived closer to your office. I love in NC and have suffered for about 17 years with pinched nerve pain that brings on the most excruciating pain imaginable at times from C1C2 issues. Doctors here don't offer help or solutions. I feel you are the FIRST doctor to truly understand what some of us suffer through with these conditions and issues. God bless you 😇🙏
I met Dr. Hauser many years ago, when I used to live in Chicago. Now he also has an office in Florida. Perhaps, you can set up a telephone call with him, and see if you are prone to this kind of Prolotherapy I did with him.
@@leejuro Hi leejuro- thank you for taking the time to share. Hope you are well. :)
Hi Louise, Thank you very much for your kind words. So sorry to hear that you have been suffering from pinched nerve degenerative pain for so long! We treat many patients who travel from North Carolina. We do offer Skype consults and case reviews if you would like our team to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health! Take care for now.
My wife is going through the pinch nerve situation as well and we started seeing a chiropractor since doctors aren't helping other than giving nausea medicine. The chiropractor is slowly but surely helping more with every appointment and we have a series of exercises to do that help. If it is the same as hers, you should try stretching your neck both left and right while lightly pinching the neck muscle. But ultimately, I suggest finding a chiropractor to get some help along with his advice.
@@DeantheGM I do stretch daily. I've had a chiropractor since I was 18. Also have a massage therapist at my chiropractor. When you consistently never get your quality of life back, to the point you can't even lift a box without paying for it later, or even sit in a car where certain seats and headrest put your spine in an uncomfortable way that caused you to deal with extra pain for a day or two, doctors should realize that you need further help. I LOVE HOW in Caring rehab's videos they mention working to CORRECT SPINAL ALIGNMENT! They want to solve your problem not just treat the symptoms. .... So glad your wife is doing better! Surely do wish her well!
The glasses and shirt are a bold move 😆
Ross Hauser, M.D. is a bold move. And it works.
@@rusty823 hell yeah!

This completely complians with everything iv been suffering from for the past 4 yrs.ever since my neck Injury.
This is everything I’ve been experienced
Vitamin B specifically vitamin B1 in the form of Benfotiamine stimulates the Vagus Nerve. Dosage: 150 mg x 2 capsules with 250 mg of Alpha lipoic Acid and omg I felt like a new person. Amazing! Thank you for this info ℹ️
Glad you feel like a new person. We wish you all the best in continued good health!
This doctor just described what I’ve been going through!
You can stimulate your vagus nerve various ways which when you suffer from a vagus nerve issue the relief is so heavenly. For I felt I was in hell
literally
I am having throat and choky feelings .and constipation. any clue if this is my issue?? I do have a hiatal hernia.. I feel horrible daily 😭
@@thartsoe1 I would say 100%. Start by relaxing more and not obsessing about your symptoms. If they are too strong take something for relaxation... research low acidity... especially if you have constipation, you maybe need some enzymes do digest your food... your vagus nerve is off probably because of stress/anxiety and then your stomach can't work properly and than you get your choky feelings from that (and anxiety - globus sensation) and on all that you stress about symptoms :) I personally have app with my chiro but I already am going to therapy (mental), taking enzymes, probiotics, eating clean and meditating in the morning and in the before bed... and occasionally I pop something for relaxing... :D
@@thartsoe1 maybe you have EOE
This guy seems like the real deal! I’m calling him tomorrow!

Ross Hauser is my new best friend. Thanks mate from Oz.
I developed these symptoms during a period of high stress and anxiety.
I'm no doctor, but stress is the culprit. Dr. Sarno proved this already.
Hi Mind Over Weight, Glad you were able to identify the cause of your symptoms and received help from your doctor to obtain a cure. Wish you all the best in health!
Yes ,it happens AFTER stress for me ,like I would be fine during stressful days and than I would crash immediately afterwards,it's extremely unpleasant
@@Србомбоница86 am from india... what is treatment of this??
Wow. This blew my mind! Incredible connection of all body systems. How I haven't heard about Dr. Hauser before?!
Thank you so much for this... I have ME/CFS and have experienced gut issues, especially bloating for years not understanding the cause. What you said about fat malabsorption, that you can tell you have it if your stool floats helped me to realize that’s my problem! Now I know why my skin is so dry too and why I did well on a keto diet. I’m so glad I found this video! Thanks again.
Wow, I went off my low carb diet and this started happening. I'm back on it now and already feeling better. Still need treatment for the vagus nerve though. I have tinnitus too.
Why does it explain why you did well on keto? Is it because you had an excess of fat which caused you to absorb more of it?
Yes, that’s my understanding… I think I was lacking good fats. I didn’t stay on keto but I’m more aware of including healthy fats in my diet and it really seems to make a difference
You were better on keto? Usually us with CFS have many reactivated pathogens and high fat diet is not good for us,ot has to be anti viral low fat.
Thank you Doctor Jeff Goldblum for the info!

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy seeing Dr George Kramer in Minneapolis in July for Prolotherapy
Thank you for this great info! I have terrible urges to defecate every morning at the same time, and have watery diahrrea 5-10 times a day. Every time I think about going to the toilet, or get close to one, that's when the urge hits the most. I also have an extremely stressful job, and anxiety is really affecting me. I'm praying it is the vagus nerve.
UPDATE: I found out that it was the inferior quality coffee that I was drinking! I switched to LOW ACID, clean coffee and it cut my watery stools by 70 percent. Then I switched to DECAF version of the same coffee, and that cut it to 95% stopped. I still get urges, maybe once during the day, and once at around 6 AM, but it's no longer watery. I think the 6AM urge comes from too much cortisol. That's when it peaks. So I narrowed it down to 1. Unclean, cheap caffeinated coffee 2. Acid from the coffee 3. Too much cortisol.
Did u ever find out what it is? I'm having issues myself, I get dizzy when I've git to go poo . Thats everyday almost . I wonder if its the vagus nerve, or what the hell is wrong with me

I had surgery to remove a schwannoma from my vagus nerve and have many of these problems. Dysphagia, Gastroparesis, inflammation, bloating, neck stiffness, migraines, etc. It was cute when you laughed about the banana poop. ;-) Thanks for the video.
Did the surgery help with those problems?? I have all those things yet no help from Doctors 😭
@@linam8508 Hi Lina! I’m so sorry you’re suffering. The surgery actually caused all of these symptoms, unfortunately. I’m working with an Ayurvedic Practitioner to calm my system as much as possible to hopefully ease these symptoms. It’s tough when the vagus is damaged. Hope you find some answers and healing! 💞✨
I am certain I have disruption to my vagus nerve due to cervical spine spondylosis,putting pressure on my head and eyes. I also have reduced sense of taste and smell, hearing loss and worsening eyesight and depression... .....I believe all due to cervical spine compression and vagus nerve compression. I found exercises and cold packs to help the vagus nerve.......I believe I also need treatment for my cervical spine .....two vertebrae are sitting on top of one another and there are problems with C1 and 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and.6. My nervous system has been severely affected . Also my hands have poor circulation and I am always cold, which I believe is also due to the effect on the vagus nerve. I would appreciate Dr. Hauser's recommendations.....thank you...
It ALL COMES TOGETHER with your knowledge. Ever grateful!! 💓
Thanks Tere- appreciate the love!
Most welcome, Doctor. The validation you give is imperative for many of us, I am certain! 💓
You’re knowledge is amazing & your transmission of your knowledge is miraculously in lightening Your a genius ❤️

So grateful to information.
I had a very traumatic life , pushing on.. Several seizures along with vomiting and dizziness most of the time ending up in the ER. Once staying for 4 days for acute pankritus not being a drinker or any good reason the Dr would send me to a general physician who offered perscriptions for stress I went a natural route. Did there imaging and wow finally with nueroscience and a better understanding. I've started meditating , reading , listening changed my career to have less trauma to get control of my nervous system
Hi Becky, Thanks for sharing your story. We commend you on the hard work you did in your habits and personal life to help get control of your nervous system. That's excellent! We wish you all the best in health. Happy New Year!
Dude ya cracked me up with the Poop scoop, but its my normal dialogue with clients so i can relate. Your videos are way better and informative. Keep it up, and thanks fir sharing the common sense code.
This make so much sense. I have been having major neck pain. X rays showed severe arthritis but MRI didn’t alarm my PCP, and I am currently waiting to go to a spinal specialist for my nerve issues. I have noticed a large increase in GI issues since having neck issues/nerve. Getting nauseous after every meal, lots of burping and farting, etc.
Hi Cara, Wish you all the best with your upcoming specialist visit. Glad that the video helped connect some of the dots for you. Take care.
How are you now pls?
it's cute how this doctor is making himself giggle while talking about poop.
Yes, it was a fun shoot. He was making two of us who were filming him laugh and then it got him laughing too. Glad you enjoyed 😊
Just the sort of giggles we need to cheer us all up.
I’m pretty sure I just suffered my 1st panic attack, later in the day after my 1st chiropractic adjustment. Never felt that way before and have had 2 smaller episodes since then. Been going on 3 weeks now. I especially sense it coming after eating and with a certain posture on the couch, and not during any other time...
Hi Michael, Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear that this is happening to you after a chiropractic adjustment. Not sure why the adjustment was done or to what segments of your spine, but perhaps reaching out to them would be helpful to determine what happened and what is recommended to restore your function. If you are not gaining traction with resolving your symptoms, and would like our team to potentially help you here, we'd be happy to review your medical case in much greater detail. We wish you all the best in health and getting to the bottom of what is happening with your positional symptoms. Take care.
Yes, food (eating) and posture affects my anxiety type symptoms at times. A puzzle I've been attempting to put together for a few yrs..so glad I stumbled on these videos. Seemed my autonomous nervous system was outta wack, just wasn't sure why altho I'm pretty sure I have a hiatal hernia..low and behold that could be due to vagus nerve issues as well.
I have had severe chronic pain that started in my neck at age 23. I thought it was all caused from an emotional trauma that I experienced that turned into severe anxiety lasting for several years, then the pain. It started with a crunchiness feeling and sound in the muscles in neck. Then the pain went down into the back. It feels like a constant intense aching, burning feeling. Any amount of stress, or sitting differently, exacerbates it. I have met with many Chiro's who told me I have severe anterior pelvic tilt and some other posture issues, which I spent time trying to correct. I have always felt in my gut (which I also have always had problems with as well) that the source of the problem is not directly related to how I stand and sit but something else.
have you tried dmso for the neck pain?
Hi any update? Seems like your symptoms and mine are same
@@Miss.Scarlett whats dmso?

That made me giggle too lol
I have had Ulcerated Colitis for 40 years. Interestingly, everytime a chiropractor adjusts my mid/low back it causes a flare that can last months. I've had to limit adjustments to emergencies only. I've explained this to each Chiro I have visited and none of them could give me an explanation..... frustrating because the connection seemed obvious to me.
I have unexplained (left untreated) gastroperesis, severe GERD, connective tissue disorder/Lupus (SLE), TMJ, diarrhea/constipation, severe pain issues almost burns, in the past year I started having unexplained hoarseness and voice changes as well as heart issues such as bradycardia and PACs, and much much more. I always thought it was caused by my Lupus, and I’m only 32.. I’ve been dealing with these issues since I was a kid, had seizures at 7 they never knew why but they stopped when I was 14. But as an adult I had a few more but they only lasted a short time. I recently learned about the vagus nerve which is what brought me to this video as I’m trying to research this cause I believe it’s possibly the root cause to all my issues. I will be scheduling an appt with my rheumatologist very very soon to try and get in to a neurologist.. very helpful! Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I have cervical instability. Thanks doc. This explains a lot.
Thanks for making this video! I have been suffering with Sphincter of Oddi for several years with no relief from the stents the doctor put in. Now lately when I have a bowel movement I start throwing up. I have degenerative disc disease throughout my spine. I’m going to speak to my neurologist about getting some treatment for this.
LOL! “Pooper Blooper” Love it! Thank you for the laugh and the great info! 🥰
I've had my neck fused, C3, 4, 5 & 6. I still have digestive issues but a CT scan shows nothing abnormal. I do have ilocecal problems off and on. I visit a chiropractor about once a month but really don't get much relief.
I'm impressed by this video and now thinking that my problem is coming from the C1 and 2 areas.
I have reflux disease and sinus problem on right side every morning. I also had a C6/7 fusion op a year ago. I am working on getting full range motion. I never knew vagus nerve could have been a part of years of discomfort for me. I never knew neck and digestive issues were linked.

You are the only that connected to me all of my issues ,thank you so much .
Dr, Ross....... Wow . My God, you are so SPOT ON..... After surfing the Web for years, I finally have stumbled on to you and your relevant dissertation . I have been seeking recognition of this from my many doctors.... Orthopedics, Neurologists, Psychologist, GIs, Rheumatologists, etc., I have a consortium of many spinal issues : Stenosis in many areas of the spine (cervical, thorasic, and Lumbar), DDD, Facet Arthritis, Arthritis in my Hips, knees, and now in the ankles. Moreover, I have suffered from IBS for at least 35 years . I have a shorter right leg stemming from a fractured right femur at age 15 (I'm 69 now), the growth plate was fractured and did Not grow while I was in Traction for 6 weeks and then a full body cast for 3.5 months. After the cast was removed, the Ortho doctor realized that my right leg is shorter by an inch. THAT shorter right leg which was left unaddressed (by wearing adjustd shoes perhaps?) has Wreaked complete HAVOC to my spine and well being. I also have 25 degree dextroscoliosis. During the past 15 years more and more deterioration has occurred . My neck gets stiff as a Rock, Cricks and Clacks and that also occurs with great stiffness throughout my spine. I have investigated and learned the extreme importance of the Vagus Nerve. BUT , you are the first medical informist that has alerted to the Cervical spine's spine affect to that Vagus Nerve and hence the main functions in the body. I could go on and on...... I have been to 6 Spinal / Neural Surgeons - No Surgery for me . Too much arthritis in the Lumbar spine. I have been tom 5 different Chiropractors - some little help. Acupuncture all minimal help. I'll leave with this because in addition to all the physical issues, the Chroinc pain and stiffness comes intense anxiety and anxiety attacks. I have suffered from Anxiety attacks for over 35 years. I also saw a web entry by a physician from Canada on a Pain Web site. He emphasized in his article / report on how the Squeezing of the spinal cord (herniated discs, stenosis , etc.) will cause chronic anxiety as the constant physical maladies will affect the Psyche with Pain, Referred Pain, muscle cramping, on and on.... It all makes so much Common Sense once you become educated on the effects of the central nervous system and especially the Vagus Nerve - the Body' Life Blood , if you will.
Hi Aldo, Oh wow, you have been going through a lot for these past few decades. Sounds like you have taken it as an opportunity to really educate yourself in regard to the vagus nerve and the connection to overall health- that's excellent! Not sure if you've already seen our 3-part webinar on the vagus nerve, but it might be something of interest to you if you want to check that out in our webinar playlist.

they wanted to take my gallbladder out STAT but I said no. Started taking stomach acid and enzymes and 7 years later I have been fine. Good to see a doctor that understands root causes. My scoliosis causes alot of these type of problems but keeping the atlas vertabrae aligned and taking enzymes has changed my life.
Can u share what did u take to cure it
I ate shredded raw beets and lemon juice twice a day; ate only 2 small meals with no fats each day for a few weeks and took Now Super enzymes and Betain HCL (4-6 caps) per meal. Then I started increasing to normal meals but small.
What enzymes?
Are you eating normal larger meals now or have you had to stay on small meals?
@@dimitrichristou4889 I eat large meals! larger than I need sometimes!

Congratulations my friend!
You described all the symptoms exactly, but I had a respiratory virus in 1996.
I took anti-TB treatment for 4 months.
But I was left with a very aggressive weather addiction.
What natural product could I take for meteorodependency, considering the fact that I have a very bad cervical spondylosis.
I think so:
Before the weather changes, for example: the weather changes from cold to warm or vice versa, weather dependence, spondylosis, vagus nerve, parasympathetic nervous system, literally kill me.

Hi Kendria, Very sorry to hear about everything you are experiencing with your health. :( Cervicovagopathy symptoms can be so debilitating! Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for us to hear this and for patients to not find much help locally. Very few doctors specialize in treating upper cervical instability and vagus nerve degeneration. Thus, our center treats patients from all over the world, tho right now many patients cannot travel, especially from internationally. If traveling may be an option for you in the future, we would be happy to review your case in much greater detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinic.

The yellow glasses stopped me several times from not listening but who knew? Good stuff
I started having problems shortly after an EGD procedure in December 2019. My problems are asthma, tachycardia, pressure in my chest and almost at times losing my voice. Today my heart rate went over 120. I found a place on the internet that spoke of holding your nose and mouth then try breathing out to stimulate the Vagus nerve. It worked my heart rate was back to normal in about 30-45 mins.
Hi Kenny, Thanks for sharing that. Yes, there are lots of ways to help stimulate the vagus nerve. When it comes to having all of those conditions though, we take it very seriously, as we have some of the most complex and difficult cases come to our clinics with structural problems in the neck that need to be corrected in order to resolve these issues. This way the person does not have to constantly be on alert or having to manage increasingly debilitating symptoms. If you would like our help on your case, we'd be happy to talk with you in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health and permanently resolving the issues you're having after your EGD procedure. Take care.
Wow, by accident saw this information last night. I have ankalosing spondolysis for 50 years. Lots of fusion and
Kyphosis. No physical pain ,but get anxiety, panic attacks, bowel issues,blood pressure spikes. I am active with bike rides, when it was warmer exercised in Gulf. I meditate, do breathing exercises, slowing down my breathing. I still work as a hairdresser. Would like to know if your therapy or help can ease my symptoms. ..
I am on Medicare,
your work sounds amazing. My life has been one is seeking to be straight. My body has taught me a lot of lessons. Still hope to be normal. As boogie as you try to make yourself, I know that you are brilliance in motion. Good job.

My issues are starting to make a lot of sense now. Have been having a bunch of heath issues, including ibs and acid reflux, since getting a concussion 3 years ago. Man, it’s likely all caused by the undiagnosed (until this year) neck issue!
Sorry to hear about your post-concussion issues MrChippinator. We're glad that you're looking into what more could be going on to cause the symptoms.

Now that I am thinking about it, my neck does tend to be sore whenever I have issues with the way my innards function. My spine has a congenital curve in it - not quite enough for me to have scoliosis, just enough to make my life miserable at times. I'm not sure which I dislike the most; having a backache and trouble with the hip & knee on one side, or having my C1 & C2 vertebrae getting compressed enough to affect my lizard brain and causing me to get mad at almost everything, like the leaky kitchen faucet. I have learned that easy yoga and stretches help a lot, but I avoid poses like headstand or anything requiring me to balance on one leg that would make any problems worse instead of better. Anyway, I'll always think about the digestive banana - sometimes I make more of the banana puree that comes in baby food jars. The other extreme is like some kind of hard fruit or vegetable, which I have not yet determined. Hey, a sense of humour goes a long way to coping with lots of things in life.
Hi Melanie, Thanks for sharing your story and your sense of humor! :) All of the symptoms you've described make sense to us based on what we see in the clinic. We hope that you are able to get to the bottom of your symptoms so you can get on with your life. If you feel frustrated at the lack of progress with your current treatment, and would like our team to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our center, we'd be happy to do that. Take care for now.
Wow. This is an amazing revelation. Thank you for this information

Hi Crow Medicine, You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful.
I go to a chiropractor every other month and she does my neck back etc. my gut and intestines seem sluggish and I’ve always had trouble. Mucus is produced by my nose (post makes drip) and my esophagus to protect the lining of the throat from stomach acids and pepsin. The mucus is extreme and it’s exhausting to get up and I have to get up during the night to clear my airway( sometimes scary) having a lot of difficulties getting the mucus up. I’m doing self maneuvers to get the hiatal hernia out of the diaphragm and taking enzymes to help with digestion. Silent reflux is nuts but here I am. You name it, I’ve tried it.
You are 100% right my vagus nerve was accidentally severed during an anti-reflux surgery of the stomach(nissen) since my life has become a living hell. The vagus nerve is too important.
So very sorry to hear about your vagus nerve being severed during surgery! Appreciate you sharing your story and we wish you all the best in healing!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I had an accidental truncated vagotomy my stomach especially the upper part does not contract. I am trying to find a way to regenerate my vagus nerve but for the moment it is impossible to do so. I have had 4 abdominal chrirugies instead of one because of the first one which destroyed my gastric motility. The first one was an anti-reflux (nissen) surgery then hernias appeared as well as inflammation. All your information is so true.
I use the tens eco 2 in transcutaneous. I would like to have an internal stimulator implanted but the problem is that they do not recommend it for people who have had a truncal vagotomy.
Which external stimulator do you recommend for me?
I have all those symptoms, as a car wreck in 2007 led to multiple cervical spine surgeries where the multiple fusions failed and a posterior fusion with hardware done. However, my neurosurgeon retired in 2018 and I haven’t been able to find a new neurosurgeon due to the complexity of my injury and failed surgeries thats left me in constant severe pain, and my family doctor had a new MRI done which shows yet another disc herniation. At this point as I’ve lost a great deal weight of more than 50 lbs. mostly i suspect is muscle loss over my entire body as I’ve become extremely limited to physical activity, i keep an upset stomach and unable to eat much because the constant pain makes me sick to my stomach, and I also have trouble swallowing, severe headaches, total body aches and pains, severe muscle spasms, etc. among other things. Just don’t know where to turn these days especially when I’m unable to find a doctor willing to accept me as a patient....
Hi Shannon, thank you for sharing your story. Very sorry to hear all that you have been experiencing for the last 13 years since the accident. We take on many complex cases here, patients like yourself who have been too complicated for most general practices. You may want to check out our 3-part vagus nerve and cervical instability webinar series (in our webinar playlist), if you would like to delve further into the work we do here with regard to diagnostic motion testing, Prolotherapy, and curve correction, as well as more about the vagus nerve functioning in general. You can also reach out to our team directly for a more detailed case review and see if you sound like a good candidate for our neck center. www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now

I’m not even sure you’ll see my first comment but, wanted to add another piece: along w the constant diarrhea/stomach issues I do have constant pain/cracking in my neck, as well as (for years) tinnitus, nonstop post-nasal drip that’s very thick & annoying, and also not sure if this is worth mentioning but I’m always “overheating”, or sweat easily...
-Regards (again!)
@@TzadikTheManic I also have tinnitus (which I’ve learned to block out), stomach issues, always overheating and sweating. Did you ever get to the bottom of your issues?
I wish that you were my Doctor. I have cervical instability Big time! Your amazing!
Hi Sweet Sally, Thank you for your kind feedback. Glad that the videos on our channel have been helpful. If travel to Fort Myers, FL was possible for you in the future, our team is always happy to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good fit for our center. We wish you all the best in health and recovering from your cervical instability symptoms! Take care.
You are wonderful.... specially with that Banana example (for stool consistency)
Keep up the good work... thank you so much.
Thanks for your kind words Shridutta, wish you all the best in health.
This sounds exactly what i have. I have two fused vertibra in my neck. I have the crunchy sounds, stiff neck and gerd . i go to my chiropractor every month. It helps out the pain in all my bad misalignments.
This makes so much sense! I have had horrible IBS for years (can barely eat or drink anything without pain and diarrhrea) and just recently thought I had early dumping syndrome specifically. After watching this video, though, it seems with my jaw pain, scoliosis, and stomach pain, might be the cause of vagus nerve/cervical instability somehow. Maybe prolotherapy would work!!! Do you have any thoughts?
U
How bad is your diarrhea mine lasts 24 hours sometimes luckily I don't get it very often I also get horrible burps that taste and smell like eggs
Mine would last only about 30 mins or less as long as I didnt eat or drink anything for the rest of the day. My GI put me on alosetron, which actually helped so much! I can now eat again like normal without side affects.
Very informative for me..i am suffering exactly the same problems after crona victim
Glad it is helpful. We wish you all the very best in healing!
Same here, how are you now? Please reply me
I've been struggling with my bowels for like almost 30 years! Then got a neck injury , so that hasn't helped. I get chiropractic adjustments every now and then that do help, but I always thought it was my thoracic / lumbar region causing it. Who knows, but you've opened up a new door for me. Thank you. PS. The way you cracked up about the bowel movements was too cute.
You think your bowel issues are from lumbar region??
Selena Cole Give this a try: just a wild guess: try doing regular pushups - I relieved my symptoms by building up my neck muscles so I had a thick neck. 20-30 each morning, then the same at night. Also try inversion therapy to increase bloodflow to the head and neck.
@@tenminutetokyo2643 what were your symptoms??? ,I also try to strengthen my neck ,but sometimes it gets stiffer after exercising it :(
I'm almost crying...I've been having issues all pertaining to this. Clicking and grinding of the neck, bloating, acid reflux, dizziness, my stomach is emptying slower according to an upper endoscopy, my bilirubin is slightly elevated but all tests come back fairly normal. If this is it I will be so relieved.
haw are you?😢
@@Dina455jI habe everything and my heart pounds and races .
This describes 90% of my problems. Thank you. From an MD, finally, so heartening to have the acknowledgment of what I suspected. Who do I see to verify and treat?

Yes, I wish a Dr. Could diagnose this. But I think drugs are never the answer. So for over 15 years I have been coping with avoiding the foods that cause gastrointestinal freeze & migraines.
Do you guys also feel tired weak and sleepy and imbalance virtigo
My chiropractor helps a lot!
