    Dear readers,
    I've been asked quite a few times recently why I actually went to the trouble of writing this book and this novel. ■It was a deep, personal desire of mine to point out, and make unequivocally clear, that these complex illnesses exist in our society and that they are barely acknowledged by conventional medicine.

  2. Your body already knows how to calm itself. You just need to turn it on.
    Have you noticed how touching your neck can calm you down instantly? That’s your vagus nerve. a direct line between your brain and body that controls your relaxation response.
    Try this: Gently massage the sides of your neck in slow strokes for 2 minutes. Or just hum. The vibration activates it immediately.

    Tu cuerpo tiene un cable físico real que conecta tu cerebro con tu corazón y tus intestinos. Este es conocido como Nervio Vago, y de seguro ya has oído hablar de él. Un nervio que impide que el estrés te consuma vivo.

    La ciencia ha confirmado que actúa como un "freno de mano" en tu sistema nervioso.

  5. 😫 Stress doesn’t just live in your mind - it lives in your nervous system. And at the center of that system is one powerful pathway: the vagus nerve

  6. As someone who has struggled with #VagusNerve issues for nearly 40 years, I find this fascinating:

    "The balance in the autonomic nervous system is vital because #COVID19 can trigger a patient’s immune system to overshoot its response resulting in tissue damage (lungs, kidneys, heart, nervous system), increased blood clotting, septic shock, and even death.  #tVNS [ #transcutaneousVagusNerveStimulation ] is an anti-inflammatory approach that improves patient survival...

  9. Big Picture Science for May 19, 2025: Touching a Nerve

    Some call it your sixth sense. You refer to it when you have a “gut feeling.” With a vast fiber network running throughout your body, the vagus nerve knows about and helps regulate every critical function in it, from heart rate to digestion to your immune system. Now bioelectric medicine is tapping into that bodily omniscience by using tiny electrical pulses on the vagus nerve to help treat diseases as diverse as epilepsy, diabetes, stroke, Parkinson’s, and even depression. In the coming months, the FDA is set to make a decision about a vagus nerve stimulation device, which, if approved, could provide first-of-its-kind treatment for an autoimmune disease that affects millions of Americans. We consider the groundbreaking potential of vagus nerve stimulation and ask whether electricity could one day replace medications.

  12. The brain's inflammation thermostat -

    Dr Jarred Younger discusses a new research study that identified a key brain region for upregulating and downregulating inflammation.

  13. Interesting if true: Vagus nerve innervation (controlled by BLA?) to Brunner's glands in the duodenum control the hospitability of the gut to lactobacillus. Ablating the glands renders the gut susceptible to dysbiosis.

  14. Finding a Master Immune System Controller

    'In a series of groundbreaking, elegant experiments ... a team led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Charles Zuker has found that one controller of the immune system actually lies elsewhere—in the brain. The researchers showed that a group of nerve cells in the brainstem acts like a master controller or rheostat, sending and receiving signals from vagal neurons in the body to either boost inflammation or dial it down. '
    ...
    'The first big question for Zuker’s group, therefore, was whether the brain really does respond to signals from the immune system. To find out, his team injected mice with a known immune stimulant, lipopolysaccharide, then searched the mouse brain to see if any specific areas were being activated by the signal. The quest was like “looking for a needle in a haystack,” says Medzhitov. But it worked. The researchers pinpointed an area of the brainstem called the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract. That was “extraordinarily exciting,” recalls Hao Jin, a postdoctoral fellow in Zuker’s lab who led these studies. Previous work by Zuker’s team had shown that this area of the brain received other body-brain signals up the vagus nerve highway. '

    Needs: #VagusNerve stimulation / normalisation, #Pain #Spasticity #Therapy

    I am looking for competent resources: devices, guides, online courses, remote consultancy.

    Time to make @kanako walk out of the pit.
  16. @silask Thanks for sharing, this is a) a very cool cool study, and b) scary if true.

    If true, then those bacteria have been sitting in plain sight in many brain samples and have never been properly studied (or rejected as surgery artefacts). Should be relatively straightforward to replicate in quite a few labs.
