New Imaging showing inflammed microglial in the brains of ME/CFS patients. The study was funded by the National institutes of health (NIH) This challenges the psychopathology(mental) diagnosis and promotes the physical illness diagnosis.

The vagus nerve is a parasympathetic nerve and the “rest and digest” portion of the autonomic nervous system. It should balance the sympathetic “fight and flight” nerve for optimal health. It is often dysregulated in chronic illnesses like ME/CFS. I incorporate vagus nerve techniques into my treatments and give patients simple exercises to do at home too.

I am excited to announce that I am now officially able to teach The Perrin Technique. The technique addresses the causes and symptoms of ME/Chronic Fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Long COVID.

I am having a great time assisting Dr. Perrin in Rijen, Netherlands. I hope to be able to teach this amazing technique for ME/Chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Long COVID in South Africa very soon.

An interesting article in the Guardian (UK) newspaper. A small study showing the physiological changes in the brains of ME/CFS patients affecting how they interpret fatigue.

More and more research is showing the “leaky” nature of the brain, making it susceptible to invasion by toxins and parasites, leading to increased inflammation and disease. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/LEiF3A5aPfFARedz/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Understanding The Gates Between The Arachnoid Barrier & Dura Mater: Arachnoid Cuff Exit (ACE) Points

“… researchers found that the arachnoid barrier cells formed leaky cuffs around the bridging veins. They called these tiny openings arachnoid cuff exit (ACE) points.”

“… the team observed molecules crossing from the inner layers of the meninges into the dura mater through these ACE points in live mice. Once these molecules reached the dura mater, they had direct access to the regions where waste drains out of the brain.”

“… Correspondingly, the team found that molecules could also flow the other way across ACE points, from the dura mater across the arachnoid barrier and into the brain.”

“The researchers next looked in people, …they observed the tracer rapidly spread from the dura mater to around the bridging veins in a pattern very similar to that seen in mice.”
