It's been a while.
How have you been?
It's COVID, riots, and Black Lives Matter-ing these days.
I had to take a break from blogging. Nothing to do with societal issues at large; rather, life kind of spiraled out of control right before COVID struck (yes, while in Arizona).
Turns out I have an ANS disorder. (Autonomic Nervous System Disorder). My mold doctor referred me to a Cardiologist who sent me to Mayo Clinic. Went through the rigmarole of testing all over again. Thank goodness for insurance!
I guess nervous system disorders are on a spectrum. To one extreme is POTS, which can mean being in a wheel chair, inability to stand up without getting dizzy, etc. I was scared that that was going to be me. BUT, thankfully, it's not me. However, I was diagnosed with O.H. (Orthstatic Hypotension) which is on the very mild side of nervous system disorders. Fancy way of saying, when I stand up, I have low blood pressure and blood pools in my legs instead of flowing properly to my heart. Also, my sympathetic/parasympathetic responses are a little out of whack.
ANS disorders can be caused by and/or related to:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (Concussions, head injuries, etc. hello Bethany's car accident a few months back)
- Trauma in general. Big T and little t traumatic life events. (Psychologist Peter Levine and several others have made a connection between nervous system disfunction and traumatic life events)
- Toxic Mold exposure (also actually considered a Tramatic Brain Injury)
- Limbic System impairment (for those suffering from MCS, PTSD, Lyme, Mold. The limbic system has been high jacked, and now the brain is perceiving everything is out to get it. The Fight/Flight is switched permanently to the ON position, unwittingly).
I have experienced all of the above, I guess we could call it the perfect storm; as such, I guess it's no wonder that I was diagnosed with a nervous system disorder.
Other than my yoga and compression pants, (if you saw my previous instagram post), do you know what helps me to conquer this ANS illness? Other than DNRS, and taming my mast cells, I also think that the following has helped me neurologically--
THE NEMECHECK PROTOCOL!
I would like to introduce Nemecheck protocol because it helps all forms of neural inflammation. Which is a commonality among several brain disorders: Autism. ADD/ ADHD. Parkinsons. Depression. CFS. ANS disorders. Plus several others.
Nemecheck protocol in 2 minutes:

Super Science-y and interesting 10 minute presentation and explanation of how Nemecheck protocal helps with brain disorders. Watch this embedded clip to learn more the relationship between Olive oil and neural inflammation.
Here's one screen shot from the 10 minute youtube clip.

I find it interesting that the treatments for CFS is often related to Autism treatment. I'm not sure why those two are correlated, but they are. (Probably the brain inflammation, but still. Kind of weird those two illnesses are connected in someway).

SO MANY success stories on the FB group. Over 24K likes and success stories posted!

Check out Nemecheck protocol if you want to learn about taming neural inflammation!
Really quickly: how does one implement consuming inordinate amounts of EVOO? (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) Especially if someone is persnickety about food. (Hello Autistic kids!) Heck, I can't stand the peppery taste myself!
I have mine with melted chocolate. ;o) Or, on top of my salad dressings. The chocolate is really yummy. With the vanilla and salt and melted chocolate chips, you don't taste the olive oil!
Anyone else do Nemecheck? How do you consume your olive oil?
