Miguel has put out sooo much free info too on UA-cam - for anyone watching, I recovered simply from consuming free to watch videos (on this channel, CFS recovery and pain free you/Dan!) … relate 100% to this man. I find it so empowering to watch these as mental maintenance. His outro has me bawling because he’s SO RIGHT
Please disclose if you benefit in ANY way from promoting Miguel and anything he is associated with as it appears there has been a lack of transparency regarding Miguel. I watched his videos and did not found them to be counter productive.
So pleased you recovered. How long did it take you? I'm so grateful to Miguel too for putting free accessible stuff I don't have the money for a paid plan but I'm well on the way, not there yet but a lot better by following his guidance. Plus jam rothney breaking free audio book..plus some mindfulness etc
@@PaigeWhiteestateI can stand by his programme. Full transparency. Didn’t and don’t gain anything financially from saying it’s an amazing programme that gave me my life back.
I am pretty sure you had to go through things other people can't even imagine. So when you think about writing a book about your life, your lifestory would be worth reading. Because you had to overcome really difficult things. Life is not about going to school, then work, marrying and having two children. Being a human means having it all. The happy, sad and scary moments. So in the end you really lived. Your story is just not the normal story we all are expecting, it is a herostory
So happy for you, Eric! Glad you mentioned that it’s not linear and although it is a long process, you are making progress pretty much the whole time you’re recovering. That’s definitely been my experience. It takes a lot of mental strength to keep going when you’re not seeing some huge changes. It’s happening in micro ways. Persistence and patience is a huge part of this journey.
23:40 You said how Fear is driving their personality ie perfectionism, overachiever, people pleasers. Yes!! Coming out the other side we stop living from a place of fear and we learn to live in authenticity. This is huge, thank you for this interview! This is my goal I'm learning how to work closer and closer to ! And 28 min mark I need too, about listening to that voice, and not ignoring it and staying up late or staying activated. But rather listening to our gut and living in moderation and balance.
Great interview. Eric's a legend..was in cfs recovery program at same time and he always had such a great insight into the condition and his contributions on the group calls were always inspiring and enlightening..so happy he has much such an amazing recovery
Wow, Wow, Wow ! I Loved this interview so much. Thank you Eric for sharing your journey with us. Stay well and continue to be the best version of yourself and the best dad you can be. I so wish i could have done this type of healing when i was a young mother. My deepest regret was not being the best mom i could have been to my children. I was ill most of their life
I love what you say about changing who you are. At one point of my recovery journey, I was very sad, because I recognized that the happy exited part of myself was not good for me. I thought something like, "am I not even allowed to be happy anymore?" But at this point I trusted the process enough to just go with it. It brought me back to the person I was in my childhood. There is another form of happiness. Calm and not as loud. The long summer days when you go the lake every day, being in nature, drawing, sitting in the window reading good books. And after a while I found out, that sometimes, when I think I am happy and excited, I am infact nervous. I think in my twenties I tried to much to be open and extroverted. But I am more an ambivert. And I am so much more happy now, because I changed my life and do things that fill me up and make me really really happy. Something I love. When I was a child everyone asked me, why I look so angry. And now I have my angry face back. All those years inbetween I was smiling so much, my face hurt. I still love to smile when I interact with people. But when I observe the world or think about the big questions in life, I do it with my resting bothered face and I love it, because it feels like being me.
This really hits. That’s what I’ve recently recovered - the part of me that is my inner child that I had locked away early without realizing it. I started my professional life at 14 (never did fit in at school anyway) and was dealing with full blown corporate job life by 16. It has been a long journey to realize that my inner child had grown up too fast. Being a highly capable child was beneficial career wise, but not nervous system wise. I’ve been extremely worn down for several years following another nervous breakdown but I’m figuring it out I think. This video and these comments really help! Thank you everyone. After working for 30 years, it’s time to address all this. And rediscovering the awe and wonder and innocence of my inner child was key, I think.
I relate to this comment very much. I, too, am rediscovering the side of me I knew as a child but then buried when I had to grow up too quickly. The loud and bubbly version of me was with me for a long time and sometimes that feels lost, but I do appreciate the gentle, calmer, observing, creative part of me that has its time to shine now. And the bubbly part comes out too, for shorter periods of time - it just isn't the default and the only allowed version anymore.
Wow each interview has so many gold nuggets, this in included. Yes we do need to change what brought us here in the first place, if we can, and although we can slip on this slippery slide we need to grab hold and stop before we hit the bottom again. When we teach our brain this, hopefully it becomes second nature and we move forward taking along our new tools with us . Sounds like you have your tool kit Eric, very happy for you 🥳
I was diagnosed almost 40 years ago, unfortunately those doctors have passed away, and I've moved away....i ve lived in my present community 25 years...have not found 1 doctor, that would take it seriously here...i just thank God I've been able to work all the years...had to find a job i could handle, thank God i did...anyway Eric thanks for sharing...success stories like your give me hope
"I can create something of importance whilst still taking care of myself" You truly can feel when something is made out of presence. As an artist, I'm trying to come back to that. my creativity as a nurturing and mindful process rather than a striving means to an ends.
7:32 thats me. It is the first time I heard sombody saying that in an interview. It is amazing that you found words for something I experienced. I am also very positiv and have zero quit in me. It helped me come out on the other side, but it also worked against me. I learned to surrender.
Raelan has helped so many people worldwide with these interviews, including myself. Her interview with Ben from re-origin led me there. Then her interview with Dan Buglio from Pain Free You, gave me more help. Thank You Raelan ❤
Interesting interview.. thank you for sharing. While I appreciate there is often a psychological element to most illnesses... In my experience, the most healing thing for this autoimmune disease, has been the AIP diet (3 months) followed by an anti inflammatory diet (more or less permanently as a lifestyle, bar occasional treats)...due to the fact that the gut becomes permeable. The most quickly healing thing for me for the trauma aspect, was hypnotherapy; so instead of re- living the trauma; being stuck in fight or flight, it is put into a processed part of the brain- like seeing it on a cinema screen, instead of re-living it. One session. Much cheaper than years of therapy! Hope that maybe helpful to people still suffering with lots of symptoms.
What a lovely young man, and an inspirational interview, thank you Alex and Raelan for the work you do ❤ And to all you fellow travellers, you'll get there like so many others before you, keep doing 'the work' ✊️🙏❤
My onset was late May, early April 2024. A"mild to moderate". All the classic ME symptoms. Impossible to think, the fog and anhedonia was the worse. Big 3: cognitive issues, Profound fatigue, and unrefreshed sleep. Minor: weak legs, gunk in the eyes, headaches, pain on back side of neck. Sleeping during day and crash days. Througout it, I have had remission days. In September I had 3 weeks remission. For some reason, the last 5 weeks from today I have been in remission. I have no clue why, it's random. It appears the demon is still underneath as I feel fatigue a little or certain light symptoms some days. I have no clue if I'm "recovering" or this is the CFS relapse and remission, that fluctuation be have for weeks. I pray to the gods it's recovery. I am trying high does Thaimine, psilocybin, low dose abilify and Quadracan/L-Carnitine. The Carinitine helps the muscles and the abilify might help the cognition and fog. I still think none of those things are the reason for remission.
Have you also interviewed people with chronic Lyme Disease? It’s an epidemic! And symptoms are very much like CFS/ME…or it’s possible that Lyme results in CFS/ ME, Fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases. I have all the symptoms you’ve talked about here and had Lyme, coinfections, etc. I have been diagnosed throughout the last 22years with Fibromyalgia, an unknown autoimmune disease, MS, Lupus, CFS and more
I also have chronic Lyme, in 2018 I became symptom-free from my me cfs symptoms after going on a high dose of H2 antihistamine for a month. The big mistake I made was starting to exercise again and I had a serious relapse after a few months. ME CFS, Long Covid and chronic lyme can come from Mast cell diseases. I probably have Mast cell activation syndrome and I have ruled out Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome and Systemic mastocytosis which are easier to test for. Mast cell activation is linked to Allergy, Asthma, hEDS, POTS, IBS, GERD, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, RLS, Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Migraines, ASD, ADHD, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Small fiber neuropathy.
Perhaps I didn't understand, or perhaps some explanation is missing: Eric said that he read extensively about mitochondria, and that this sounded like the key to all his symptoms. Is that right? (That is certainly in harmony with some of the research I've heard about.) Then, the type of lifestyle protocol he is using is going to fix mitochondrial dysfunction? That turning down the volume on life and changing behaviors will cause natural healing of the mitochondria and a return of energy and receding symptoms? That was never stated, but that is the connection I am making. The ataconite shunt hypothesis (that there is partial blockage of recycling ADP to ATP caused by ataconite) and a possible excess of free radicals in the mitochondria seem to point to a mitochondrial dysfunction. If that can be fixed (assuming that is the heart of the problem) with changing behavior, that would really be a breakthrough.
So sorry about your mum and your health plummeting. Incredibly difficult. Was there /is there any water damage/mould in the building you were living in or frequenting? Your symptoms are all so consistent with CIRS/Mold illness!
2024 was the year i drew the line and started "the work".After 10 years of crippling physical symptons, im glad to say that im doing the best i ever did all these years.Its real people! trust the process! im not symptom free, but i can finally be normal again.your mind really can change , and how you react to the episodes and flare ups is night and day difference.For the first time i can see the end of this!It feels like 1 step foward and 2 steps back, but with time and patience you can do it!
@@richardcerniglia8417 Yes, why is Raelan partners with one of the most expensive options when her interviewees have shared many other more affordable programs.
As much as he seems to really have suffered, it does NOT sound like ME/CFS. Not even close. More like MCAS or something like that in combo with a very nasty anxiety disorder. Which is horrible enough, don't get me wrong. But calling it "CFS" is a stretch, but none of what he tellls here sounds like actual M.E. M.E. is a different beast and there is no use of saying he suffered from ME for 20 years when it's absolutelly clear from his story that he did not.
@@LydiaNorris These are not just "names". It IS important how it's called because it's litteraly a different illness. Would you say cancer is a broken bone?? Of course not. Totally different things. Therefore it's very misleading to call what he had M.E. Because it's obvious that he did not. Working on the nervous system is always good. But you can't treat M.E. like you can treat a mild "CFS" or a mild MCAS or anxiety disorder.
@@TheOli4D What are the treatments for mild CFS or mild MCAS? The nervous system controls everything... It is a scientific fact that stress makes all diseases worse.. even broken bones..This program has helped hundreds of people who were diagnosed with CFS. It is gaslighting to say he didn't have it..
Histamine is one of over 1050 different types of mediators that mast cells can produce and release. There are also four different histamine receptors Histamine H1, H2, H3 and H4. They can lead to many symptoms in all organs such as the heart, stomach, brain and skin. To date, three mast cell disorders have been discovered that can cause ME/CFS symptoms and triggers including PEM where mast cells have become dysfunctional which can make them overactive and hypersensitive. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome and the rare Systemic mastocytosis which also causes too many mast cells. Some people with ME/CFS may also have Histamine Intolerance.
It’s different for everyone and depends on factors like when they learned recovery was possible, the support they had, their capacity to implement changes, and much more...
Thank you Raelan for all that you do! ❤Following your videos was a wake up call for me. I’m a nurse that suffers from long Covid for almost 4 years. After spending all my money on supplements and doctors, I finally realized that it’s my nervous system that does this to my body.I still work as a nurse and the shifts are very long, 12-13 hours. When I work 2 days in a row a crash almost every time with fatigue. I also have MCAS. My question is, do I need to reconsider my job working in a hospital long hours in order to recover? I did purchased DNRS program from Annie Hooper and just started doing it. I’m willing to do whatever it takes at this point and end this long Covid nightmare.
@@Caca201075I think you need the space to firstly be able to get out of danger mode and time to rest to recover from expansion but at your own pace. If your brain perceives danger at work it will be so much harder to calm the NS. Can you be signed off for 3 months while you figure it out ? I'm a vet surgeon and at the mo I can't even manage 2 hrs at work without a crash. So I'm not working at all. When I feel ready I will def rethink how I want my life to be. It wasn't working before or I wouldn't have had long covid (coming up 1.5 years). So I will reduce hours or consider non clinical role . If I want to go back to it I will but while recovering i just can't do that job
@ I thought about taking off work but for financially right now I can’t afford to do it. I have no support from anyone and most of my savings are gone on treatments. I can manage a 12 hours shift with no problem. I can do even 2 days in a row. If I sleep good without any symptoms interrupting, I’m okay. I signed up for Miquel CHF recovery program. To start, I was able to space my work days out and not work 2 days in a row so that’s a good start. Will see how I do and go from there.
Google ICD G93.3 it’s a neuroimmunological illness with PEM/PENE as Main symptom. NO other illness has PENE/PEM as symptoms!! Brain training is not working for Me/Cfs!!
ME/CFS is a diagnosis based only on symptoms where the cause of the disease is unknown. This means that not everyone with ME/CFS will have the same underlying disease. ME/CFS may then be a undiscovered disease or one of the three known Mast cell diseases. It may be an undiagnosed autoimmune disease or a thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's. People with Dysautonomia/POTS may be diagnosed with ME/CFS. Depending on what is the cause of their ME/CFS diagnosis, some may recover on their own, others will not be able to recover. Some causes of Dysautonomia/POTS include infections from viruses or bacteria, neck injury, autoimmune diseases, mast cell diseases, hashimoto's disease, dehydration and lack of physical activity. For some people with POTS, the disease will go away on its own within a few years. Some of these may still be ill from lack of physical activity. This is a group of ME/CFS patients who can improve with physical activity. This was probably the reason for those who recovered from ME/CFS with Placebo in the Rituximab study.
The Bible talks about cutting out the deadwood. Many lifestyle types dont work in the longterm in the modern world from junk food - a lack of nutrients to high stress - not being in a parasympathetic state to blue lights and violating circadian rhythms and not enough sunlight.
@@sampaterson1352 try clicking on the title of the video. Then scroll down past the description until you see things like: Miguel’s free course. I think you’ll find it on your iPad too. It takes a bit of clicking around. Give yourself grace and patience. Know it’s there and is iPad accessible and you’ll find it.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT IS THIS JUST SELLING A PROGRAM WITH A MAN NAMED MIGUEL ? WHAT DID HE ACTUALLY DO ? I HEARD SOME MEDITATION AND ARM CIRCLES ? WHAT HEALED THE MITOCHONDRIA ? WHAT DID I LISTEN TO HERE ?
Unfortunately the interviewer isn’t adept at actually interviewing and I gave up half way through. Would have liked to hear his story, but she was unable to draw it out in an interesting way and to stop the rambles at times.
I think the Headline for this interview is a little misleading! It doesn’t sound like he had “ME/CFS” for 20 years duration at all, more like an anxiety disorder (nervous system dysregulation)and he only developed ME/CFS or possibly just Long Covid on top of that, after he had covid in recent years! How ill and debilitated was he, bedbound, housebound for those two decades? Specifics and clarity are important when discussing these issues!
@@alexandrecouture2462taurine is 20 bucks for many months worth and fasting is free. Taurine is really good for the heart. It’s not a hard thing to add.
This sounds like an advertisement for some course. This guy hasn't talked about anything concretely applicable. No steps, nothing. What the heck did you actually change and do?
This is great. I’m also an animator and the start of my crash was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I had to work, but being creative under pressure when your brain has shut down is…ooof. I didn’t get fired (yet) so I’m figuring it out. Good work 🫡
Miguel has put out sooo much free info too on UA-cam - for anyone watching, I recovered simply from consuming free to watch videos (on this channel, CFS recovery and pain free you/Dan!) … relate 100% to this man. I find it so empowering to watch these as mental maintenance. His outro has me bawling because he’s SO RIGHT
Please disclose if you benefit in ANY way from promoting Miguel and anything he is associated with as it appears there has been a lack of transparency regarding Miguel. I watched his videos and did not found them to be counter productive.
@@PaigeWhiteestate you did not find them to be counter productive, meaning you did find them productive??
So pleased you recovered. How long did it take you? I'm so grateful to Miguel too for putting free accessible stuff
I don't have the money for a paid plan but I'm well on the way, not there yet but a lot better by following his guidance. Plus jam rothney breaking free audio book..plus some mindfulness etc
@@PaigeWhiteestateI can stand by his programme. Full transparency. Didn’t and don’t gain anything financially from saying it’s an amazing programme that gave me my life back.
Success stories are so varied and inspiring.
60% of my life lost. Having trouble appreciating the journey, but I am still in the game.
Some things might test us on our willingness not to give up. So from that perspective, I salute you.
Same here
Hard one to accept. So sorry. But nothing else to do than get better now ❤
We will get there❤

This is one of the most profound interviews you’ve done, Raelan. Thank you.
Very nice. It's good to see a man being interviewed. I think they bring different angles of perception. So happy for your recovery.
Great chat, you two! Very relatable. Raelan, you have such a way with words and express things so succinctly!

So, what’s “the work” you do?
I have abandontmant feelings and servere anixty ! How did you got anixty away ?
He really can’t explain it and he sounds like he actually isn’t clear. However, if he feels better then good for him! Yay 🎉 wishing everyone success
He explains it very well.
Does anyone have resources for teens struggling with ME/CFS?
And pricing for program is?
A few thousand. Miguel shares the info when you setup a call with him.
It’s over $6000. Please be careful with this program
@@alishakhanna3243 Be careful in what respect?
Hey. You’ve been given the wrong info below. There are three tiers of programs. Cheapest is $99 per month,
@@AnrupB can i get right info without calling him?
You can do it. Don't be afraid
Very inspiring 🙏
Hi Eric amazing ! How are your anixety now ?
Thank you
We can change
I am from Belgium
I Wisch it was in thus country all so🙏
I have a 14 yr old daughter who is needing nervous system regulation. This is her to a tea. What programs are good for teens?
VitD+K, magnesium, zink.
Not everyone has 10,000 Canadian to pay for that program
Look at re-origin. Great program, community at 10% of Miguel's program.
@@richardcerniglia8417 Yes, why is Raelan partners with one of the most expensive options when her interviewees have shared many other more affordable programs.
Your symptoms sound similar to mine. Did you have the vaccine or take any antibiotics?
Great guy!
Happy 2025 everyone!
It's going to be a good year!
As much as he seems to really have suffered, it does NOT sound like ME/CFS. Not even close. More like MCAS or something like that in combo with a very nasty anxiety disorder. Which is horrible enough, don't get me wrong. But calling it "CFS" is a stretch, but none of what he tellls here sounds like actual M.E.
M.E. is a different beast and there is no use of saying he suffered from ME for 20 years when it's absolutelly clear from his story that he did not.
He couldnt exercise tho, sounds like mild cfs imo
What ever you want to call it the nervous system is a important factor.. This program deals with all of it..
@@LydiaNorris These are not just "names". It IS important how it's called because it's litteraly a different illness. Would you say cancer is a broken bone?? Of course not. Totally different things. Therefore it's very misleading to call what he had M.E. Because it's obvious that he did not.
Working on the nervous system is always good. But you can't treat M.E. like you can treat a mild "CFS" or a mild MCAS or anxiety disorder.
Agreed
@@TheOli4D What are the treatments for mild CFS or mild MCAS? The nervous system controls everything... It is a scientific fact that stress makes all diseases worse.. even broken bones..This program has helped hundreds of people who were diagnosed with CFS. It is gaslighting to say he didn't have it..
It's just spiritual awakening
Why do these people coming from "CFS recovery program" seem slightly off for some reason? Is it just me?
Everybody seems a little off to me, tbh.
Was it Also express emotions ? Can u be in sun now
Histamine has more symptoms then most people realise, its not just anaphylaxis and rashes.
Histamine is one of over 1050 different types of mediators that mast cells can produce and release.
There are also four different histamine receptors Histamine H1, H2, H3 and H4. They can lead to many symptoms in all organs such as the heart, stomach, brain and skin.
To date, three mast cell disorders have been discovered that can cause ME/CFS symptoms and triggers including PEM where mast cells have become dysfunctional which can make them overactive and hypersensitive. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome and the rare Systemic mastocytosis which also causes too many mast cells. Some people with ME/CFS may also have Histamine Intolerance.
What is the normal time to get well from most of your interviews?
It’s different for everyone and depends on factors like when they learned recovery was possible, the support they had, their capacity to implement changes, and much more...
Thank you Raelan for all that you do! ❤Following your videos was a wake up call for me. I’m a nurse that suffers from long Covid for almost 4 years. After spending all my money on supplements and doctors, I finally realized that it’s my nervous system that does this to my body.I still work as a nurse and the shifts are very long, 12-13 hours. When I work 2 days in a row a crash almost every time with fatigue. I also have MCAS. My question is, do I need to reconsider my job working in a hospital long hours in order to recover? I did purchased DNRS program from Annie Hooper and just started doing it. I’m willing to do whatever it takes at this point and end this long Covid nightmare.
@@Caca201075anyone would crash with those hours.
@@Caca201075I think you need the space to firstly be able to get out of danger mode and time to rest to recover from expansion but at your own pace. If your brain perceives danger at work it will be so much harder to calm the NS. Can you be signed off for 3 months while you figure it out ? I'm a vet surgeon and at the mo I can't even manage 2 hrs at work without a crash. So I'm not working at all. When I feel ready I will def rethink how I want my life to be. It wasn't working before or I wouldn't have had long covid (coming up 1.5 years). So I will reduce hours or consider non clinical role . If I want to go back to it I will but while recovering i just can't do that job
@ I thought about taking off work but for financially right now I can’t afford to do it. I have no support from anyone and most of my savings are gone on treatments. I can manage a 12 hours shift with no problem. I can do even 2 days in a row. If I sleep good without any symptoms interrupting, I’m okay. I signed up for Miquel CHF recovery program. To start, I was able to space my work days out and not work 2 days in a row so that’s a good start. Will see how I do and go from there.
#1 obstacle for all American patients: profound, dark, false pride of physicians. They refuse to accept patient input.
What is ME/CFS?
Google ICD G93.3 it’s a neuroimmunological illness with PEM/PENE as Main symptom. NO other illness has PENE/PEM as symptoms!! Brain training is not working for Me/Cfs!!
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
@Moonraker11 Thanks
ME/CFS is a diagnosis based only on symptoms where the cause of the disease is unknown. This means that not everyone with ME/CFS will have the same underlying disease.
ME/CFS may then be a undiscovered disease or one of the three known Mast cell diseases. It may be an undiagnosed autoimmune disease or a thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's. People with Dysautonomia/POTS may be diagnosed with ME/CFS. Depending on what is the cause of their ME/CFS diagnosis, some may recover on their own, others will not be able to recover.
Some causes of Dysautonomia/POTS include infections from viruses or bacteria, neck injury, autoimmune diseases, mast cell diseases, hashimoto's disease, dehydration and lack of physical activity. For some people with POTS, the disease will go away on its own within a few years. Some of these may still be ill from lack of physical activity. This is a group of ME/CFS patients who can improve with physical activity. This was probably the reason for those who recovered from ME/CFS with Placebo in the Rituximab study.
The Bible talks about cutting out the deadwood. Many lifestyle types dont work in the longterm in the modern world from junk food - a lack of nutrients to high stress - not being in a parasympathetic state to blue lights and violating circadian rhythms and not enough sunlight.
What is ME?
Could someone tell me more about this course please if possible
She has it linked in the details
Thankyou, I can’t seem to get those details on my ipad
@@sampaterson1352 I literally just signed up after clicking the link I copied to you, all the best! h😊
@@sampaterson1352 try clicking on the title of the video. Then scroll down past the description until you see things like: Miguel’s free course.
I think you’ll find it on your iPad too. It takes a bit of clicking around. Give yourself grace and patience. Know it’s there and is iPad accessible and you’ll find it.
Don’t be daft it’s all a scam
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT IS THIS JUST SELLING A PROGRAM WITH A MAN NAMED MIGUEL ? WHAT DID HE ACTUALLY DO ? I HEARD SOME MEDITATION AND ARM CIRCLES ? WHAT HEALED THE MITOCHONDRIA ? WHAT DID I LISTEN TO HERE ?
Unfortunately the interviewer isn’t adept at actually interviewing and I gave up half way through. Would have liked to hear his story, but she was unable to draw it out in an interesting way and to stop the rambles at times.
I think the Headline for this interview is a little misleading! It doesn’t sound like he had “ME/CFS” for 20 years duration at all, more like an anxiety disorder (nervous system dysregulation)and he only developed ME/CFS or possibly just Long Covid on top of that, after he had covid in recent years! How ill and debilitated was he, bedbound, housebound for those two decades? Specifics and clarity are important when discussing these issues!
It is all depend on the circustames and other stuff that is crutial for health
❤
Fasting and taurine will help with true cases of CFS/ME (a postviral syndrome).
Source regarding taurine? 🙏🏼
@@northernflicker1111 on my community tab somewhere
BS. Unproven.
@@alexandrecouture2462 Yes you know more than the phds doing the studies lol
@@alexandrecouture2462taurine is 20 bucks for many months worth and fasting is free. Taurine is really good for the heart. It’s not a hard thing to add.
This sounds like an advertisement for some course. This guy hasn't talked about anything concretely applicable.
No steps, nothing. What the heck did you actually change and do?
This is a common pattern to entice people to inquire directly to spend money.
@@PaigeWhiteestate Yes, what a bunch of nonsense.
I think that's on purpose. I think there is a financial incentive on his side.
What the hell.....these are my symptoms and doctors have no idea!
Am I the only one that was getting two adds every 2-5 minute? Could not even get through… not good for severe ME/CFS viewers 👎🏼
Wish group
This is great. I’m also an animator and the start of my crash was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I had to work, but being creative under pressure when your brain has shut down is…ooof. I didn’t get fired (yet) so I’m figuring it out. Good work 🫡
Can i have contact u ?
