Вставка

- In this episode, we have Alexandra Marynczak. Alex's health started deteriorating in her late teens, leaving her bed-bound for most of her early 20s. After her own research led to a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue syndrome, she set about looking for positive recovery stories and it was through a mix of brain retraining programs, Faster EFT and diet that she restored her health, and she now helps others recover too as a Mind Body Therapist and Holistic Health Coach.

Oh wow, I've had the "my illness is special so its harder for me" thought as well! I didn't realise it was such a common belief..Love EFT as well. Thanks for the interview,some helpful info in there.
I love how you interact and ask so many good questions throughout your podcasts! Thank you Alex, and congratulations!
ah thanks... slightly concerned i talked too much in this one so good to know you didn't think that!
@@TheChronicComeback LOL !!
@@Truehoon haha... mate, this doesn't mean I don't think I don't talk too much... my point is that:
1. I'm doing this for free
2. I'm a total amateur
3. I'm doing this to help and so why would someone feel the need to just come on and say something negative
@@TheChronicComeback You are doing amazing job...
These podcasts are really life supporting and helpful... people who can't afford programs get to know some tips from these podcasts.... love💕
Your videos are immensely helpful. Would be great to have someone who overcame or a specialist in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

Thanks! So I think most people I've interviewed are like to have this issue... i was told I did also... look at recent episode with luanne hopkinson, she had this
I am binge watching your channel- so inspiring! I've been dealing with this since childhood, but the most significant symptoms for 6 years. These stories give me so much hope! Thank you!
Great interview thank you!
This was so informative - love the way you ask questions and let the person being interviewed chat without interruption! Keep them coming!
thank you!
Im still looking for my spark moment of healing!
5 sessions of Faster EFT made no difference to me
Hi, how are you now?
I was the same with an internship, it was for my dream job and I had to leave halfway through. Since being ill and at home they offered me a full time job, I've told them my circumstances and they're willing to wait
if there's one thing i wish i'd have done sooner, it's left my job and focused on what matters. you're doing the right thing for sure... if you still want that job then you'll be able to deal with it so much better when the time is right rather than trying to do both at the same time
@@TheChronicComeback thanks mate. The UA-cam community is amazing, this was all within the last 6 months so I’m still overwhelmed by it all
This one was great, she has such a positive vibe and really articulated some concepts exceptionally. Phil- did not know you did an actual session with Robert Smith. Was that right at the time you did the episode with him? I did one with him two months ago too and had similar reservations about whether I had significant enough trauma for it to be applicable. Did you notice any benefit from it?
hey calvin, yes it was just after. so it just wasn't hugely effective for me personally but i can certainly see for some how it can be. i have huge trouble in visualising and getting in touch with feelings and so i feel that might have been the blocker there
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the interesting interview. It would also be great to bring someone on who has healed doing DNRS rounds for just 15 min per day, as mentioned by dr Neil Nathan.
He does detox protocol s to
Love this talk, so helpful to get the full and honest story the ups and downs. I have struggled with my health for 22 years and can see now that I have some very deep patterns of negative beliefs, behaviors, trauma and nervous system stressed and not regulated. So it's very deep and complex work sometimes needed. Not everything can be cured by an Epstein Bar diet and celery juice🍵😁. Will look into faster eft, I do some eft already during my week.
Hi Lars! Thanks for sharing a bit about your own story. Yes it certainly can be deep and complex work to heal from trauma and release limiting beliefs. This is why I personally like using faster eft, because it makes that process a easier and lighter ❤ and yes, the Epstein bar hypothesis as the root cause for cfs was incomplete for me as well! Sending you love and lots of healing ❤
Hi Alex This is a great interview. Can I offer to you to bracket calling yourself "a bad sleeper". All these things are affirmations. The thought will come but it's amazing if you don't verbalise it. Louise
She mentioned enemas as part of someone’s healing routine. Can you elaborate more on that? What one thinks it is helping? Detox or relaxing?
Enemas don't get to the reason you're sick. Please don't waste your time with them...
In my opinion enemas can be a helpful tool to clean the colon and eliminate toxins from the body
my personal experience is to focus on calming your nervous system down as a priority... things like enemas can be complimentary but not the focus. again, my experience and opinion. personal for everyone
💕
Medical medium is a con. I'm sorry.
Totally agree… I want to puke when I look at celery now
no need to apoliogise, im dubious for sure
About 8 years ago I heard him on a podcast where people were calling in and asking questions about their health. Despite my being open to the possibility that some people are gifted with extra-sensory perception, hearing that podcast had me convinced he was a fraud. However, since then I've heard so many people in various FB health groups say that his approach was a game-changer for them that I've been forced to reconsider. Am basically agnostic towards him at this point.
Interesting on people having different recovery times. What's the shortest time you seen people recovered?
From the time they had gotten sick? Hmm well the thing is, most people who come on here have a difficult story to tell so its taken them longer. But in terms of something like brain retraining, ive had people on who recovered in a few weeks and then others who took years but still made progress
@@TheChronicComeback okay. The people who recovered in few weeks, the length they were sick was a determining factor?
@@TheChronicComeback do you think if someone has active Lyme and co-infections, can get better on just doing brain-retraining?
@@majahorvat7294 yes 100%... or they can at least improve a hell of a lot
@@TheChronicComeback oh that is great news. Do you think that Faster EFT is as powerful as DNRS? I am a bit over all those visualizations...
So perfectionism comes from wanting to prove you are worthy? Good enough to be here? I have a thing that I am supposed to be useful and having M.E/CFS makes me useless. I don’t even understand what you mean about being in alignment with yourself.
i think depends on who you're talking about... all of these things are different for each person. perfectionism for me just means i feel like that if i don't do a certain protocol perfectly, i wont be able to recover. it's not down to my self worth. for alex, it was different.
@@TheChronicComeback so what does it mean to be in alignment with your self? And how can you know who you would be if shit hadn’t happened?
@@ladymuck2 It takes some thought, but it's important to consider if your goals are YOUR goals, and not those of your parents, or someone else you think you need to please or need to be. Or be like. Personally, I was running from my 'true' self, my authentic self, and spent years, decades trying to be someone I was not, and trying to please everyone else instead of myself. Doing so puts intense levels of stress on one's body, on one's immune system -- and prevents one from healing. I hope that makes sense.
@@ladymuck2 well i know exactly who i would be if shit hadn't have happened... i would be in london, in a very high paid successful job, working long hours, stressed, drinking a lot and taking drugs most likely.
I'm sorry Phil, but I don't find her credible. On your instagram she says she's had clients -- old ones, sick for decades -- recover in a few days to a few weeks. Yet she needed 2 1/2 years to heal?
So the important thing to focus on here (as with every recovery story that gets posted) is the recovery story itself… thats all i want anyone to focus on and the message that you can and will recover
@@TheChronicComeback Thanks Phil. I believe that. It would be great if you could find some older folks to interview -- like she talks about -- who have indeed been sick for decades, who have recovered. That would be huge. :)
@@DDumbrille have you checked either of these out?
ua-cam.com/video/xCbg_tC_F4I/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/K1pHXTmeBeY/v-deo.html
@@TheChronicComeback Thanks Phil. I did see the one with the guy who was in tons of pain awhile back, that was indeed inspiring -- but -- haha -- he's not really 'old'. :)
The woman's story was interesting, and you did a great job interviewing her, but I dunno, her 'do something for someone else and you'll feel great!' thing was kind of hard to relate to. It's not your fault though -- I'm just going through one of those rough patches -- was in tons of pain a couple of days ago, so was a little short tempered. Keep up the great work... :)
Sounds like she’s not all the way better though
I get people on the journey are not in the best head space, but seriously like... not cool. Alex couldn't wash her hair and is now diving in the sea. But more importantly just look at her radiance, joy, and appreciate her wonderful wisdom.
You should let the interviewe talk more instead of talking 50% of the time.
How about, it's my podcast and channel and I'll do what the hell I want? 😀
I'll refund you the money you paid for this interview... oh wait.
Sorry to anyone witnessing my negativity here, i just get totally flabbergasted with these keyboard warriors who come on and comment negatively on something I not only do for free, I actually pay others to help me produce.
People like you just ruin it for everyone else
So, in summary, if you don't like my style, go watch and listen to someone else.. because i aint changing for shit
@@TheChronicComeback Trigger easly?? Such angry reply for a comment on a CFS channel to help improve your videos....For anybody reading this, his reaction is the very thing you should avoid and people like him if you have CFS.
@@Truehoon yeah to be fair, i'm annoyed at myself that i got dragged into the negativity but i meant every word. I feel sorry for anyone who roams youtube looking for a place to drop negative comments.
Oh and this is something I'm doing purely on the side, I don't want or need to improve my interview technique as im a total amateur and never want to be any more than that.
@@Truehoon Whats an allowable level on the Angry-meter for CFS channels? How widely does it vary vs allowable anger on regular channels? Do you provide concessions when its preceeded by a trollish comment? Also whats an acceptable level of talking allowed for hosts of free podcasts you aren't required to watch? Also what else should people with CFS avoid? For some reason I feel like you know alot about triggering because you've triggered alot of people in your life. How did you become an authority on so many things? Also I dont think a 5 yr old should be on UA-cam. Lastly the interviewee appeared to have a great time and showed zero signs she got to talk less than she pleased so thanks so much for your riveting insight. When you write your book on Interviewing 101 I'll be sure to stand in line overnight for a copy
Oh and I don't even think this even is a CFS channel, so I hate to make your head explode
I love you podcast! Would it be possible to have someone with CCI or neck instability or severe spinal issues on the show? Including those who healed without a spinal fusion ? I have CCI and struggle to find examples of healing with mind body work when there is immense ligamentous injury . 🙏🫶🏻
Yes and or SFN. When neurology is involved, things aren't so straightforward.
Look into Nichole sach’s story/podcast.
definitely something we will try to do
Raelan Angle recently interviewed a woman named Luanne and she briefly touches on this topic somewhere in the section that starts at 17:50. Also it sounds like she was recently interviewed on this channel as well based on a comment above^ in response to someone requesting MCAS interviews.
