    has anyone needed a colostomy bag?

    I was talking to one of the other members about peristalsis awhile back after I tried a TENS unit for my IBS. Even though I have the IBS mostly in remission by avoiding my trigger foods I still get pain at the four corners of my large intestines so I got the idea to try the TENS unit for that...

    Study finds benefits of electrical acupoint stimulation with a TENS in ME/CFS

    A Chinese randomized controlled trial shows significant improvement in fatigue of ME/CFS patients after one month of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation with a TENS machine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29354991/ I have found this study and I thought I'd share it just in case it...

    Involvement of Cervical Muscle Lesions and Autonomic Nervous System in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

    A) seems like they knew about cci if they were suggesting cervical traction ,even to mention in a differential as something that they DIDN'T do. So is the cci /mechanical hypothesis known about in Japan ? B) I'm currently using frequency specific microcurrent bc of Robert Beckers work but...

    Treatment for SIBO, leaky gut and general gut dysbiosis

    Do you get chest pains from it as well? Jackhammer or Nutcracker Esophagus can cause chest pain and/or throat or jaw pain. Sublingual nitrate spray can be effective for either of these. Yeah, celiac artery stenosis can cause the same symptoms. I have been tested for this in ruling out Median...

    Herbal treatment in Japan for cfs.

    Other factors could be that the study used patients just recently diagnosed with EBV post-viral fatigue. One study found that for people with post-viral fatigue after mononucleosis, 69% of those recovered after 2 years or earlier. So if your study included lots of EBV ME/CFS patients who have...

    Involvement of Cervical Muscle Lesions and Autonomic Nervous System in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

    Wow, 56% ME/CFS recovery rate is a pretty spectacular result — if the study is to be believed. They had no control group, so very hard to interpret this recovery rate figure. The paper is not very clear on how long the patients had ME/CFS. If they only had ME/CFS symptoms for a short time of a...

    has anyone tried Dr Nemechek Vagus Nerve?

    Hi, I should mention before I even started with t-vns I began with manual stimulation on the vagal dermatome (both ears, inner tragus) on the outbreath. I did this for myself (out of curiosity) and my younger son - after he had a very interesting response to short term use of an ear plug in his...

    has anyone tried Dr Nemechek Vagus Nerve?

    I've read some criticism of tvns protocols that use very long periods of a continuous stimulation. Some studies indicated the brain may switch off completely to tvns if it's administed continuously for hours. I guess I am more using it to enhance breathwork. Prior to using electrical stimulation...

    is there any way or device that can help grow muscle or maintain it without exercise?

    TENS are electrical stimulation to relieve nerve and muscle pain. Not sure if this could help rebuild muscle but it may help you, especially if you try to exercise a bit. https://www.cochrane.org/CD011976/SYMPT_transcutaneous-electrical-nerve-stimulation-tens-neuropathic-pain...

    has anyone tried Dr Nemechek Vagus Nerve?

    The science is a bit mixed regarding tragus vs cymba conchae. Most studies indicates that the tragus is a sutible stimulation target for tVNS, but one study indicated that the cymba conchae was superior compared to the tragus. Here's some studies I've found regarding this: ---------------...

    has anyone tried Dr Nemechek Vagus Nerve?

    I am fairy sure it wasn't doing anything or at least the effect was minimal. As always I was trying other things so that muddies the experiment. As for selling it. It only cost me £25 so if I were to sell it second hand I would say around £12 but the problem is that it is a big hassel for me to...

    Don't know what to do about spinal pain

    So I just went to a chiropractor and had some xrays done and some cold packs put on my back while a TENS or some other form of electrical stimulation machine was used on my spine; placed one pad on either side of my spine and turned up the electricity to the point just below where it would...

    Autonomic Neuropathy is often overlooked in being one of the known causes of constipation so given the high prevalence of autonomic dysfunction affecting members here, that'e where I would be looking when constipation is refractory to other treatment. Be aware that with autonomic dysfunction in...

    Join us for a Community Symposium on the Molecular Basis of ME/CFS! Incredible opportunity!

    I forwarded youtube link for the ME/CFS symposium to Dr. Nath at the NIH. I mentioned some of the presentations I found particularly interesting. I am still not completely sure whether muscle biopsy will be added to second phase of NIH Intramural study of ME/CFS. @viggster - Do you have any...

    IVIG *might* be accessible via my immunologist. Definitely not plasma exchange though. At this point I don't even know if/what autoantibodies I have. I've tried some vagus nerve stimulation, not Gammacore, but using TENS with ear clips and it was pretty nasty. Even non-electrical vagus nerve...

    Buzzing the Vagus Nerve Just Right to Fight Inflammatory Disease

    Potentially it might be helpful to reduce inflammation and neuroinflammation in ME/CFS, especially if you subscribe to the vagus nerve infection hypothesis of ME/CFS. But note that they are working with the surgically implanted electrode form of vagus nerve stimulation, rather than the external...

    Vagus Nerve Stimulation (t-VNS) using TENS (non-invasive)

    I've used a TENS unit for years both at home and along with my PT. It's my understanding that you should never place the pads on your head, over the carotid artery, directly on the spine or near the heart, or inside the body. And it is also contraindicated for epilepsy and pacemakers...
