    Hi Johnny! Thanks again for another great video. I was wondering if you find meditation helpful. I've been getting back to medication lately and find it very helpful in grounding me throughout these uncertain times. Jon Kabat-Zin's book Full Catastrophe Living has been a great resource. It is geared towards informing people with health issues of the benefits of meditation and mindfulness. He is also doing a series with Wisdom 2.0 on UA-cam during the pandemic. It has been very enlightening and inspirational to watch. All the best, and take good care of yourself! 😉

      Meditation, chanting Om really work along with living in the Now and knowing everything will pass; certainly stops me worrying 😊

    Propolis and colloidal silver spray help with sore throat... provided that you don't have a bee allergy

    Lightheaded, breathless, palpations can obviously be anxiety however it could be Orthostatic Intolerance if it's only happening when standing. There's a NASA TILT TEST that can be done at home. I've stent 3 years trying to work out why I feel so well lying down (not including symptoms on symptomatic days)

    Missed your live, ty though Johnny as always. Since hearing about LDN on your channel and looking into it I got quite excited about it, but it's hard to get prescribed it over here. Il keep trying though. Love from London 🇬🇧

      Same here in Germany! But it is worth looking for someone who is willing to prescribe it. I looked into LDN when John mentioned it and am taking it for half a year now. It works! I am using 2mg per day still. Sometimes I have to skip two or three days so all the receptors can get rid of it and it really works well.
      Of course I am far from being well but it improves my quality of life and I am thankful that Johnny takes on the effort to make all the videos to help other people.
      Good luck for you!

    Btw - does the LDN have any side effects that you experienced? What dose do you take now? I am considering trying it but need to discuss it with my doc. He isn't familiar with that other than it's used for getting rid of addictions in higher doses. Thanks

    Hi Johnny, have you ever tried: corticosteroids, immunoglobulines, antivirals, IV saline, vagal nerve stimulation? If you did, what results did you have? Thanks, from a new severe me sufferer in Italy, country where this devastating condition has no support whatsoever
