Problem with CFS/ME is that many people do ALL these things and still don’t get better. I’m following a healthy diet, sleeping well, meditating daily, setting firmer boundaries with people, taking lots of supplements, tried reverse therapy. Since august I am still not much better and can’t do sports like I used to.

Have you done any work on your gene set up, gene expression, nutritional requirements, possible mould colonisation? All these things can give you a real understanding about “you”. Your healthy diet might not be having the effect you expect, you could still be very deficient in some nutritional needs or even creating more problems by the food you eat For me, my immune system is suddenly reacting to lots of healthy foods I’ve eaten for years - broccoli, grapefruit, oats, nuts, the list is long! By cutting them out I have felt a gradual reduction in inflammation. Mould tests revealed I had extremely high levels of 2 toxins, wreaking havoc with all of my body systems. A functional medicine practitioner is helping me through this. Gene expression testing Confirms the CFS/ME diagnosis. Still work in progress but progress nonetheless 🤞🏻

I just don't know how people do it with no support. How do they even have a roof over their head when this disease prevents you from having stable employment? The depression that comes with it is the worst part. I'm traumatized by the failure that surrounds my life because the quality of my life is entirely degraded. I'm not sure getting over the stress and depression is possible when I'm drowning in medical debt and trying to raise a newborn.

Great point. I've had CFS off and on since my late twenties. I do go through periods in which I actually feel recovered, only to have it come back at some point. But besides aging, the big thing I've noticed it's having friends and a support system truly helps. Over the last five years I feel like I'm falling apart and my life with it. It's difficult to even take care of routine, daily chores/responsibilities. I feel like I need to simplify my life as much as possible but am having difficult getting there. Over the last four years I rarely see anyone anymore. I rarely ask anything of anyone and if I do, of course they want paid, which has become more difficult. I've always done things for others but find it hard to find people of the same mindset. So I end up trying to do it on my own. That only causes setback after setback. I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I can only continue to pray and hope the Lord will give me grace and help me through these difficult times.

Hi Miranda, I totally understand. I had CFS for almost 6 years. I’m almost 100% but couldn’t work for several years. I’m getting my life back relatively quickly. I used DNRS but you can go with other brain rewiring programs of your choice. In DNRS mood elevation is incorporated as one of the pillars. Please look into it, as many many people with depression have recovered 100%! I wish you well even though I don’t know you, from the bottom of my heart. This is curable!!

@inGods2hands

@@kathleenmay3530 I'm guessing "wild swimming" would be swimming in lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean - wherever you find a body of water in nature surrounded by plenty of fresh air. In Vancouver, BC there is a Hotel / Spa with an outdoor heated salt water pool, I would count that as wild swimming (fresh air, no chlorine and no ozone as typically found in city recreation pools.). In Harrison Hot Springs, BC, Canada there is a Hotel and also a Public Pool for soaking in the local mineral waters - not wild but close to it.

Hard to get much joy into your life when you feel so bad and can hardly socialize.

Such great info! My friend got Stage 4 melanoma cancer at at 24. Doctors said he had one year to live. He had 100% faith that he would heal. It was amazing. I thought he was in denial. 6 months later he was not only cancer free, his bones and lunges which were supposed to have holes in them, looked as if he never had any cancer at all! Doctors called it a miracle and maybe it was but I think his positive mindset had a part to play in it.

definitely. Doctors are always saying "that's just a placebo". But the wise ones are saying "we need to create placebo-maximized medicine" (!!). That's where the doctor says things to EVOKE the Placebo response, instead of the Nocebo response - which is the opposite and happens a LOT...like a bad spell they cast on the patient. PS. If you google "the X pill" you'll find something that's ALL about evoking the placebo response - openly - people are told its just a sugar pill, but it still seems to change their lives!!

That is why it is crucial to reprogram your brain- and as ridiculous as it sounds tell yourself over and over again that you are not sick. out loud. Your brain needs to believe it to stop producing symptoms.

I recovered from long term Lyme Disease which became chronic fatigue/ME (the names are irrelevant really) about two years ago. I still have to be careful and manage myself differently to how I once did. Virtually everything you mention in the video resonates with with the steps I took to recover. I was helped enormously by attending an NHS rehab course for 12 weeks which introduced me to the vagus nerve and really opened my eyes to the damage I had caused, unwittingly, by living a high stress, high carb/high sugar, western lifestyle. I wish I knew then what I know now. Great video for anyone who thinks they might not be able to recover.

So much great information ! I am looking forward to buying the book “Cured.” It is released next year in Canada. I have started to implement many of these changes in my life. I am 30, I have had fibro and Hashimotos for 10 years, and chronic fatigue for 3. The change that started my healing is changing my perspective. Perfectionism and past trauma lived with me everyday. I have to check these things everyday. Today I feel strong. I am building up my strength and stamina through yoga and gardening. I have come to a place where I feel grateful for what these illnesses have taught me about life. I have learned that these illnesses are not some sort of punishment, that my mind does not need to be in torment forever because it is self inflected. Life is not black and white anymore, but it is colourful. My body was telling me I needed to change myself. To take care and nourish myself. To love myself. I am important. And no matter what happens, I am strong enough and brave enough to handle it.

I did every single thing mentioned in this video and also have done a LOT more. Holistics, nutritional, exercise, diet, herbal, colonics, detox, acupuncture, psychology ect. ect. ect. you name it I have tried it. I am an expert on the subject of CFS/ME as I got it 32 years ago in 1988. But my relapse still happened and it does not go away spontaneously. And I did nothing out of the ordinary to trigger it. No stress, no cold or virus ect. Unfortunately it stays in remission in our system and some people feel great for years and others not so fortunate. There is no magic cure for CFS/ME though some people do recover naturally over time and some people are helped with their symptoms. I have tried everything on the planet to "cure" my CFS/ME but nothing has made it completely go away or make relapses go away any quicker. Once we get it it is always with us in our system yet for some people it does luckily go into remission for long periods of time until it rears its' ugly head again to remind us it is with us for the rest of our lives. Oh and one time I did the best detox and cleansing program on the planet and took the herbs and supplements that came with it. I eliminated 42 feet of mucoid plaque from my colon, I fasted the last week of the cleanse. Then I stayed an organic vegetarian for one year after the cleanse. It did nothing to make me feel any better or make my relapse go away any quicker or cure my CFS/ME. I have tried everything I tell you. There is no cure at this point and time for CFS/ME. No magic cure, though it can go into remission and symptoms can be helped.

The vast majority of people around you will not believe it to be a real illness, you have to accept the hard truth of that and not expect support or understanding from them, turn inwards and learn to self comfort and stand firm in the knowledge of your own truth. One or two people will eventually arrive in your life who do comfort and empathise. Cfs/me puts the autonomic nervous system into overdrive, hence the insomnia. I found Pranayama( yogic breathing exercises/yoga Nedra) immensely helpful in bringing it back in line and enabling sleep. Many guided practises on line. Difficult to stay with it when you are in full flare but you will find improvement. Alcohol is absolute and instant poison, a neurotoxin, exacerbating a neuro inflamatory condition. I found mushroom supplements most helpful, Lions mane, also weekly micro dose of psilocybin seemed to help enormously with pain, inflammation, cognitive difficulties and sleep

I havent heard of that - but as CBT therapist and a person with CFS for 28 years, I intentionally stimulate my PSNS via yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and use of steam room and sauna, gentle massage, and i would add, although no expert - cold water therapy. In fact about 24 years ago my motto to myself was 'the achillies heel of CFS is progressive muscle relaxation'. PMR targets the vagal nerve, and PSNS. In addtion to this - the other gigantuntuan impact was a low carb diet - removal of all processed food. Check out Dr Chris Palmer - harvard psychiatrist on cell mitochondria, sugar, processed foods. Cell mitochondira make energy - and also serotonin. So energy improves. I am listening to this womans video and her rediculous description of oxytocin and healing - sounds like a reiki practioner - incidentally that is not a bad practice either for stimulating the soothing system - or PSNS. Charlatan big time. Selling hope. I wouldnt believe anything out her mouth.

So true, Linda!

There is a strong link between trauma and chronic illness. One problem we have as a society is recognising that many of us have C-PTSD. This isn’t a judgement of child raising practices but an acceptance that many accepted practices harm children, that they are not the resilient punchbags we believe them to be and we need to recognise this. It was only when I found a psychotherapist who specialised in chronic illness was my C-PTSD diagnosed snd started to make sense. I had been told by my GP and a chronic pain specialist physio that I might be stuck in fight or flight but I couldn’t understand why. Cognitive dissonance had masked the very painful truth. This has given me a very different path forward. Validating ourselves and our experiences can make a big difference to moving forward.

Everything you have mentioned is soooo true. What makes me angry is that I have to be so strict with my health and lifestyle while others can get away by eating much less healthy and still are fit and strong as an ox. What is wrong with our health that it is so fragile?

I love your videos! I seriously feel like you are speaking directly to where I'm at in my journey right now. I can totally understand the gratitude for the illness because it is making room for this rebirth of myself who is making smarter choices about the foods I eat that are nourishing. I keep slipping this week but I know that I'm not going to give up. It's way easier to just eat that slice of coconut cream pie but I know I have to conquer this sugar addiction because its killing me so I try not to beat myself up but instead tell myself to try harder tomorrow. Thank you for making such helpful videos that make me stay focused on what I need to do in order to heal and that it might seem hard now but one day it will be easy and i will be kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

i got rid o my sugar addiction by learning to bake. at first i only used honey to replace sugar and only bought dark 70% choc. Now im ridiculously low carb n other than the 70% choc, no sugar at all as im using stevia and erythritol as sugar substitutes. These apparently are the least harmful (not like aspartame) and suitable for diabetics

So glad I found you. Been sick over 4 years now. Recently neurologist said it is fibromyalgia. Giving me meds to treat symptoms. I get so sick from the drugs side effects. The extra pain and sickness from the drugs pokes my PTSD. I just can't do these toxic meds. I am almost a shut in and spend a lot of down time. Can't work. Can hardly do even basic self care most days. Saw your interview with Ken Tamplin. I am a new subscriber to your channel. You make me feel hopeful.

Very true re animals and their instincts re what to eat or where to go. Us humans also have intuition/instincts, but our over reliance on **intellect** gets in the way big time. This is a big part of why it helps if we meditate often, I think...also why learning a TON can be good, because you get SOOO confused that you stop seeking a 'right diet' or 'right supplement' - and you start listening to yourself and your own body. (Confusion precedes real clarity?). I did 5 diets before I realized its best to just listen to my body.

This kind of recovery is wonderful when you have that level of financial stability and support. My last 30 years have been an unpredictable roller coaster. Literally. Been back and forth from completely bedbound, unable to speak to working very physical jobs.

does this include severe me/cfs who are bedbound for 20 years and have bad insomnia?

Really want to add the Gupta programme to the list. It is a wonderful brain retraining programme that has helped me so much. Online programme beautifully done. Coaches very sensitive and professional. Cost reasonable. Give it a go.

This was very helpful thank you. I have been slowly recovering from CFS for the past year and a half. I have made a lot of changes to my diet, mainly eating in line with Ayurvedic principals. I need to take it to the next level and totally eliminate sugar and processed foods. Also need to work on the self compassion! I also have endometriosis and have pretty much healed from this too. I found gratitude very helpful in that process- but struggle to have gratitude for CFS becuase of the severity of it. Work in progress. Thanks for the information ❤

Ty ty ty ty ty!

Great info - very inspirational. I bought Dr Rediger's 'Cured' and what an uplifting read, so thanks a lot for that tip. Btw, Raelan, may I suggest an idea for a video? I would be very grateful if you could walk us through the details of your diet during your recovery. What exactly did you eat - and not eat? I have become a vegetarian now + avoid sugar and gluten, and I do find it improves my symptoms. I do though find it very tough to give up diary. Love milk in my coffee and yoghurt, but cheese and butter don't matter to me. Do you think a no-diary diet is a non-negotiable in order to recover? I did once go non-diary for two weeks, but didn't experience much change, but perhaps it lasts longer before improvements occur? Also, I would be very grateful if you would tell us about what supplements you've taken. Thanks again, Raelan, for all the hard work you put into this channel. It means the world to me to know it is feasible to recover even after being sick for 11 years. 🙂❤👍🌹

Hi Anna Maria - I'm so glad you found this helpful. And thanks for the video suggestion - I have added it to my list of upcoming topics. I'm planning on doing a Q&A video soon and will include these questions there 😊 As for dairy, I suspect this is an individual thing. I know that I do better off dairy because I get GI symptoms when I consume it. Perhaps you are ok though! The switch in my coffee was tough at first, but I've come to really love adding in unsweetened vanilla almond milk into mine now. I no longer even miss the milk! But again, I don't know whether or not you need to make the same changes. I wish I had a better answer for you! Best of luck with all of this and thanks so much for your kind words and support 🌷

All good advice! Holistic healing mind body spirit are all connected!!❤

Hello Raelan. I've been watching your videos with interest after a Covid infection in June 2022 and now suffering from chronic fatigue and all the horrible symptoms associated with it. I'm in the pits of despair as to know what to do to recover, despite many physical tests and talking therapy. I haven't worked for 8 months as continually feel exhausted even doing the most mundane tasks. Any further help will be much appreciated! Many thanks.

This is really interesting. I would love if you could do a similar video but one that is specific to healing mecfs. You've interviewed a ton of people at this point, and it would be really cool if you could put together a list of all the specific treatments people tend to do who get better in a short video format like this. Or maybe you've already done this?

I read the book and it was fascinating, I have chronic wide spread pain and chronic fatigue.

Found video helpful and one on mental health too! The one about having a positive sayings folder encouraged me to start looking, again, at a series of booklets by Richard Daly called:- God's little book of Calm/Peace/Hope/Love and a few others! On each page is a positive heading and 2 to 3 lines, at the most, in connection to it! Something you can dip in and out of and not tiring for someone with m.e.!

i did the gerson cancer diet for just 3-4and after yrs of suffering with fibro. it not only fixed the fibro but i went from not being capable to barely walking across the street to the beach but then walking several MILES down the beach. truly amazing. Docs told me all the things i could not do. I am doing... I still have a problem with cfs part of it but i at least usually have control of it now as it comes and goes. I am have a very hard time staying on veggie diet. i am sure that is part of it why i still have troubled flares of Chronic Fatigue. You can tell people till your blue in face at what worked in such a short time and they just seem to make excuses. docs have them convinced that many are too depressed and I think many might be. but many dont realize it will also help that. And the drugs they use to treat it keeps their body sick more than healthy diet to cure it.

Yes, in fight or flight for almost ten years, but the puzzle is that my job as a marketplace seller on amazon stresses me, and I think getting out would be good for me, but stress has brought me to where I don't have enough energy to work a real work shift anymore so not sure how to proceed. Sure I could take time off to recover but I never do that because falling behind financially adds to the stress, so it's an endless thing.

That's a good question, John. I wish I knew the answer! I hope you find what you need to resolve this and wishing you all the best with your own health journey. :)

Some of the comments on here have a rather negative theme going on. The whole idea to recovery is that you absolutely let go of all negative thoughts and malfunctioning ways of being. This. Is. Hard! It's a complete shift in your way of being, thinking and understanding of absolutely everything you know. Letting go of every single thing that does you no good, including a pessimistic mindset. Nevertheless, the feeling of utter hopelessness as a result of the actual physical pain, not to mention emotional, from these diseases is a huge factor which contributes to a negative attitude towards potential healing. The power of the mind is beyond our own understanding or imagination. You can heal you.

Studying spontaneous healing was how Dr. Joe Dispenza started. I wonder if this is similar to his 'change your thoughts change your life' principles?

I don't have ME. But I'm here just learning because I have a friend who has long COVID. I don't know how much of this she has tried but most of these points are pretty straightforward. I personally don't understand a few. For example, don't "over-medicate" and don't count macros. It's probably my own experience that's biasing my view though, since I do take a lot of meds and count the sh*t out of macros lol. Was there anything more specific because it does kind of seem like this advice boils down to a mindset thing?

Such a great course!!! I’m so grateful I found you Raelan! In just the first week, I’ve had a dramatic shift in how I experience my energy! The awareness method you teach is BRILLIANT!!! Even my (non-sick) husband is benefiting from me sharing insights.

Forgot what you said about french fries and had some with a hamburger last night. That was good for about 5 extra hours of sleep today. I'd be interested in finding out what types of foods you omitted from your diet. Was it all potatos or just potatos without skin, fried potatos. Can you have potato salad? Do you eliminate high glycemic foods as well as added sugars? Are grapes out, potatos, dates? Also what role does depression play for you in this, if at all? I have low dopamine and take L Tyrosine. I'm already feeling SAD coming on and it's only the beginning of September. Still sunny out. Also do you consider energy exchanges in any of this? Are you aware that energy is exchanged by everyone and people can rob you of energy? Y'know, like people who are just a drain. Do you eliminate toxic people from your life? I guess that goes under the stress category. I will research ways to support my immune system because I've had allergies for decades. I can take Quercetin and that helps. I also use binaural beats which is sound healing. But I'd love to get my immune system to function normally. That is very energy taxing.

I think you'll find my comment on diet above might answer your question. Direct response: Diet is bio-individual. For ex, Raelan healed on a vegan diet, w lots of grains. Well that would make me very sick....so diet that helped her...may not help you. Best way to know is try the change you are thinking of, and observe what results. But as Raelan's video above points out - diet is just a small part of a bigger picture - some high glycemic foods here and there may not really matter all that much to your healing. Its up to you to notice and keep in view what *does* matter most to your healing - this is hard, I know! I blog on natural healing at Evolver Wellness... and I am VERY sensitive. For depression...same thing: have to just try things. But I would definitely bring the Bach flower remedies in, too, to your healing tool kit. I have a whole page about them on my site. And yes, it's wise to stay far from toxic people, that's very important. See them less, only talk to them when you feel strong. I now that can be a hard change to make but it's an important one. My healing teacher even tells us to get out of the cities - they can full of temptation, noise, bad weather and expensive rent. The country is the healing place :-).

Food is a tough one to figure out, isn't it?! What worked for me was a predominantly whole food plant based diet that did include things like potatoes (I always leave the skin on) and grapes. I don't eat tons of these higher glycemic foods, but I do eat some. I don't go crazy with fruit, but I do eat some of all kinds. I have also had severe bouts of depression that came and went, and yes I also am acutely aware of how people can be energy drains! It's a lot to sort out, I realize. Hope you area managing ok 🌷

Energy exchanges are real. We are electrical beings. Our cells are specialised to conduct electrical currents. Electricity is required for the nervous system to send signals throughout the body and to the brain, making it possible for us to move, think and feel. Galvanic skin response is the name given to the electrical properties of the skin. The Hindus greet with the gesture of 🙏 as they believe shaking another’s hand involves a transfer of energy that may not always be desirable. As a tattoo artist, at the height of my illness before an M.E diagnosis, I felt I was having an electro physiological response to my client’s own pain responses, conducted more readily by the normal occurrence of increased sweating in the early phase of a tattoo session. People looked at me as if I were mad if I mentioned this, so I never do, but research has led me to firmly believe we are physiologically affected by the energy of others. 3 years down the line and my instincts are so finely tuned in this regard that I feel in seconds when I need to get distance from someone’s energy field. If I don’t, I start getting symptoms, vertigo, dry painful eyes, tinnitus or hearing loss preceded by a popping sound, pain in my ear/jaw and cervical spine, racing, skipping heartbeat and a tidal wave of fatigue and body heaviness and pain.
