Thank you, I had not seen the videos, very helpful. He was a normal family doctor, quite experienced. He came for another problem and I asked him why my husband had this red spot on the back, so he looked at it, and he said, probably due to a deficiency, that stopped the development of the spine a bit too early, nothing to worry about, a lot of people have it and much worse and they never notice. I know that Maya Indians have this black or greying spot on the skin at the same place.
Maybe because it is not important and very common, not a medical condition, there is no name for it?
We now both have perfect backs and a lot of room for the lungs, the thoracic cage is ideal.
All I can say is : the flat part was there, and now after a few years, it has gone completely.
Vitamin K2 and lipophilic thiamine both work on this. After a year on heavy thiamine supplementation we had even more small improvements in the back. I had a broken coccyx forty years ago, broken leg and other bone problems, and it now is as though it had never happened.
We do not take Vitamin K anymore. If I had to do it again I would not take big doses, I would start with the atlas and thiamine. I noticed that thiamine gives a vitamin K effect, more subtle.
As to the sympathetic overactivation I think your are right. This is my opinion 100%. A couple of months ago we both had our atlas vertebra repositioned by an AtlasPROfilax practitioner. Since then, subtle changes nearly every week, and one of those is : it is now impossible to stress the body/mind all the time, that is without going into parasympathetic mode regularly. I can check it by the flow of air in the nostrils. Deeper sleep too. Better lymph flow even doing nothing.
I think the displacement of the atlas must be an adaptation to the push for continuous stress. Certainly, if the atlas is back in place, this adaptation to a more stressful life is impossible. You HAVE to rest avery 90 minutes or so. Maybe this is what Chronic Fatigue is trying to achieve : to stop us from being able to go on sympathetic mode continuously.
This week, a year after starting to take 400 mg or more thiamine per day, 2 months after having the atlas repositioned, something is happening to the sense of touch. I noticed it on the sofa cover, I could feel every thread of the cover. This morning my husband told me he can feel the ridges of his fingerprints when he touches the thumb to the other fingers.
In Yoga, the senses come from nadis which originate in the heart chakra. Nervous reconstruction it seems!
Be well, Take care and do not overextend yourself, there is plenty of time.
