Fifteen years ago I got some sort of . . .bacterial or viral issue. . .it affected my gut and my vagus nerve (I had no idea such a thing existed at the time) that wound up from my stomach to my collar bone and into my cranial nerves. It was horribly painful. Then it got into my lymphatic system, another thing I had never thought about, because we don't here in America, and I developed huge knots behind my knees, inside my elbows, around two spots on the sides of my ankles, of course the groin and neck and behind the ears. I suffered. I was very very sick. I lost twenty pounds. I had migraines -- I think from the crainial nerve irritation all the time, then I couldn't swallow I think because my gut didn't want the irritation. Long story short -- these people know what they are talking about and keeping the vagus nerve and the lymphatic system healthy is a god send. you don't have to wait until you end up like I did. This information is life changing. And doctors have no interest in it because there is no billing item number on their billing chart not to mention they do not recommend self-care for insurance reasons. Hope my story helps someone else -- do what Dr. Perry says
Wow thanks for sharing your story Gary and I’m sorry to hear you had to go through that. Appreciate the comment and as you say hopefully it helps others!
You fixed now?
News flash DOCTORS are fake main stream docs. They are lost don't listen to them .
smile and wave. take what you need and get the hell out without giving up a organ lol for their wallets to be full .
Its called food industrys are killing us slow and docs should be charged as well .
Do this shit yourself or find a person who cares
That’s grotesque, U poor thing,how Awfull OMG hope Ur improved a little,?!!
thank you and the others who responded to my post. Yes, I am much better now but it took years and it changed my whole life from work to housing to relationships. I really do hope my story helps other people to take care of themselves because when it's broke it's hard to fix and American medicine is very oriented to "proof" and billable actions like prescriptions and tests. Best of health to everyone and thank you so much for your kind words!@@sue-annthandy5387
Finally, someone explaining the vagus nerve properly, thank you. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed the video!
What an incredible Dr.! In 15 minutes he explained the vagus nerve, provided free, easy & effective massage protocol and addressed breathing while at it.
Talking about being succinct & effective while I spent hours elsewhere and didn’t get a fraction of his information. Thank you Dr. Nickelston for being so helpful!
Thanks Norma! Dr. Perry will love to hear this!
Thanks so much!
I feel like I just hit the jackpot with this doctor. He’s like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. This Information should not be hard for any doctor to know and deliver. I’ve spent five decades, searching and not one doctor has come close to any of this information. Never before has anything felt so accurate and on the money. Please bless this doctor with a happy, healthy, good long life - thank you Doc.
Agreed!❤
You should do an episode on POTS. So many people are struggling from so many symptoms of POTS. From irregular heart rates, to digestive issues, circulatory issues. So many people developed it after getting Covid and have no where to turn bc it completely ruined their lives.
That’s a great recommendation/topic. Thank you. I’ll add it to the list!

Think you will find that's the effects from the jibby j.a.b

I LOVE this Doctor.
He has COMMON SENSE ‼️
- Calm the body.
- Move the fluids.
- Then you’ll HEAL.
THANKYOU !!
We love Dr. Perry too! Glad you enjoyed the video!
i LOVE him too! this is the 2nd video i’ve seen with him. he seems like a genius & a very caring person!
How we move the fluid
@@ourhealthpathhi, did Dr. Perry mention if you’re supposed to massage the vagus nerve areas before or after doing the Big 6? I am in extremely poor health & need to learn this correctly.
He's a born teacher. Thank you so much for featuring him. The info is so healing. I've been doing the massages he suggests as he is talking and I feel calmer and more well than I have in ages.
Isn’t he?! And that is so wonderful to hear!
I know! He is sooo good. Born with this gift from God of teaching and advising. He give sooo much valuable information but presents it in a way that isn’t overwhelming. He also gives practical ways we can put into practice what he teaches. I’m very impressed and grateful for this information and for this man that presented it.
I enjoy m9ving around. All my jobs were physical and I was a Mom, so between work and my little boy, when I hit thd bed, that's where I stayed. I wouldn't even get up to pee. I was exhausted all the time. I never thought about Breathing, stretching, or improving myself or even being grateful for my good health, until I got really really sick in 2013.
Thanks for sharing your experience and reflections. 🙏 Let us know how you get on with Dr. P’s recommendations!
Playfully movement - Tai chi, dance, gentle swimming, social engagement, makes so much sense - yes play joy breathing.
Glad to hear it makes sense!
Wow!!! So chronologic fatigue syndrome - and Vagal nerve - massage the back of your skull and side of neck and above and below your collar bone. Under the collar bone abdominal muscles.
Yes - just as Dr. Perry demonstrates.
That was simple but this guy is hard to understand. The Nerd jokes are hard to sustain
This is definitely why I feel like utter garbage. I'm swelling up, my brain feels dead, I'm tight all over (since car accidents that chiros haven't fixed), yep I'm feeding the dragon -cant sleep, I don't feel safe, my being is screaming for relief, every noise makes me jumpy and anxious, I'm having mental breakdowns daily. I haven't even been able to even get to my chiro bc I feel like I've given up. I rub my neck constantly, and often chest, armpits , and every tender spot, intuitively. I'll do it more now that you've confirmed for me. Thanks for this video
Sorry to hear this Gina! Good luck with the exercises! 🙏
Try to cut down on carbs and sugar excercises daily no matter what omega 3 every day hope you feel better
@@rayvac7743 thanks, yep I already do those things. I just wish I felt well enough to get good sleep so that I could build momentum to health. I was given info on a new holistic dr and a chiro worth trying so that's my next step
Have you tried a craniel sacral therapist? That might be helpful if they’re good
@@daytradersuccesscoach9927 on my list!
Where has this Man been all my life? Thankyou Sir!
Haha - he’s great isn’t he?
Thank you Dr Perry. I've studied Polyvagal theory for many years, but your explanation is by far the best!
Fantastic! He’ll love to hear that! 🙏
I'm so glad this guest came on. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I took notes and will follow as much as I can every day to heal my nervous system - have had several severe neuro symptoms for 7 mo, too much nervousness, temp. dysregulation, tears, insomnia, no appetite (drink shakes). I'm thinking that just maybe my appetite will come back eventually with the stomach massage. I'm glad you said to massage the stomach even if you don't have pain. Drs kept telling me its just my thyroid and I told them no as it wasn't precipitated by trauma (I've done lots of health research, and of all the videos I've watched through my research to get well, this is the best video out there for me I believe). The antibody test was normal and the Neurologist was surprised. At least now I have hope. I'm super sore below the collar bone and have been for so many yrs that I haven't even dared to get a massage because it hurts when I lay on my stomach, now I know what to do for it. Thank you - what do I owe you? You even encouraged me to start doing yoga. You made my day!! I'm crying tears of happiness right now!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey and your experience with this video Cathryn. Dr. Perry will be so grateful to hear this! You don’t us or Dr.Perry anything! We’re here to help and to provide information that’s helpful and hopefully transformational. 😊🙏
Cool as hell coming from someone that as been through some real shit
I'm replying to my own comment. I finally realized why I've been going through torture for a year - Delta 8; if you use this poison,, watch you tube videos on it's dangers. Dr Perry is great but it wasn't the real answer. I was in the ER twice, only to tell me they know nothing about Delta 8, even though our MN Governor approves of it (sick).
I could listen to Perry all day! I just found him today and have been binging on his videos…just what I needed…right when I needed it. I love the human body and am in absolute awe of how it can heal itself when you get rid of the issue (rather than add another issue…like pharmaceuticals). I’ve been fascinating with and studying the vagus nerve for years and in under an hour he was able to connect the dots for me!! ❤. Edit…thank you for letting him speak and express his knowledge so freely without interrupting his flow of expression. His passion brought me on a journey!!
Wonderful!! I’m recording another episode with Dr. Perry today so keep an eye out for that (or make sure you’re subscribed to the channel and you’ll get notified). It’ll be released in the next couple of days! 🙏
@@ourhealthpath awesome! I can’t wait. He is just a wealth of knowledge!
I feel such incredible hope now to heal watching this video. I can go back to the things I loved movement soft delicate dance movements, voice exercise, massage, relaxing, joy mindless sillyness
Wonderful! We’re so happy to hear this video has given you hope!!
This guy knows way more than what he is giving credit to (to it). He knows about energy! He is spot on! My dad has (emotional) trauma...when he gives himself time on heartfelt educational videos, the next day his mind works well. When he spends time watching news (fight or flight), he doesn't do so well the next day.
That’s fascinating! Thank you for sharing 🙏😊
His massage techniques are a game changer. I defeated chronic fatigue/adrenal or hpa axis dysfunction in 3 days with everything else he talked about. Feels like I'd have knocked it out even faster with his massages. But 1 note on hydration. You can over do water. Instead add things to water including; apple cider vinegar, a lemon, magnesium powder, prebiotic powder. And drink bone broth on its own. I also made a tea out of cercumin + ginger + black pepper a touch of olive oil. That's 6 ideas and you ought to drink at least 8x per day. Your body will get nutrients while you hydrate. Good luck all
So glad to hear his massage techniques have been so helpful. And thanks for the additional tips - I’m sure people will appreciate them!
Where are his massage techniques ???
Oh wow, how did you heal your adrenals? I’m going through that now after steroids…
Did you have Cortifoo
Stress. Anxiety. Rapid heart beat at night. Keeping me up at night.
Great instruction here ! I mentioned vagus nerve to my doctor regarding lightheadedness and pain in my trap and collarbone I’ve had for years. He brushed it off as being just a digestion / and or fight or flight response nerve.
Sorry to hear that. They so easily brush things off that they don’t know/understand in my experience. Grateful things are slowly changing though!
I love his information. I have spent the last 10 years leaning Unfortunately, not enough trauma counselor who truly understand the mind, thoughts and body….We need to learn about trauma brain development …abuse of every kind and we need have school curriculum from the time you walk in and kindergarten to the time you exit your college. They need to teach people about EQ. They need to teach people about breath awareness. They need to teach people about emotional regulation …they need to teach people self soothing techniques..meditation..identification with thoughts and learned behaviors ..yeh human conditioning…that the brain can change if we observe..and learn techniques to calm the vagus nerve…Mind is alway one foot on the gas and one foot on the break and it’s exhausting..the body keeps the score..I do massages ..yet I need one every day yet …. A massage helps 100% …my body is tense and full of knots..hyper vigilant…trauma brain..yet I keep learning…
Thanks for the share Marie! We agree - this type of education would be paradigm shifting!
Great information!
I just had a styloidectomy that resulted from hypermobility. It’s literally a ligament that connects the jaw to the skull that calcified and was kinking my jugular vein. This thing looked like a dagger abutted to my C1 shredding my jugular and vagus nerve. I feel so much better from the surgery. After a lifetime of chasing what was wrong with me it finally came down to this. I’m better off for the journey of learning all the things. I found Dr Perry looking for lymphatic massage. The body work and working on my vagal tone is the next key. Thank you for this information. This is for someone out there. Styloids are becoming an epidemic because of the face down lifestyle. I found it through Dr Hauser of Caring Medical. Wealth of info to discover on the vagus nerve. Cervical correction is in order for many folks.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m sure people will appreciate it, as do we!
I have a VNS( VAGUS NERVE STIMULATOR)
Could you speak to how it works . Ì have it. For major
Depressive disease the. Other day i had severepain in my. Epigastric area. I took. 6 tums and a xanax. Before it went away. Thank you.
Thank you! This was very helpful, Dr Perry Nickleston makes sense to me. I believe this was another Divine appointment as I walk my health back to restoration.
So glad you found the episode helpful!
Amen 🙏
Wow! Straight to my heart!

Thank you so much, i have had lightheadedness for over 5 years CT scan report was coming from the brain vestibular. Pcp got report was not seen by PCP was seen by nurse who read the report wrong and sent me for therapy for my ears. 5 years later 2023 find out after new pcp sent to ENT specialist test we're done again to find out i was getting the wrong therapy for 6 month. Now i have to start all over with CT newrlogest and see what treatment is best. Its been a nightmare has ruined my life. Now i have a ear infection which i never had in my life and i am sure it came from the equipment used to run all the new test by the equipment used that most have not been sterilize. Present on antibiotics and much pain. I dont trust the medical industry anymore, I rather come to channels like this one to find out whats happening and what i should do. Thank you so much.
We’re so sorry to hear of your health journey Judith! But glad to hear you have found this video helpful, and hopefully it provides some hope too!

Thanks Michele! Dr. Perry will appreciate it!
Dr. Perry, thank you so much for this info. This is the most important info of this decade. I keep on thinking of the medial symbol of the snake circling around the staff when I think of the Vegas nerve and yet not many doctors understand the simplicity of solving problems relating to the Vegas nerve .
Dr. Perry is the best ever !
It seems many would agree!!! 😂🙌
What a fascinating conversation. Brilliant, thank you!
Thank you Stephanie! Glad you enjoyed it!
SO good thank you 🙏💕

Isn’t it!? Glad you enjoyed it!
Im glad you guys are good at the things im not good at
What are you referring to Christian? Thanks though!
My struggle with breathing comes largely from anxiety attached to lung disease, then my mind is flooded with fears...
I really appreciate your work, Dr Perry Nickleston. I've actually been massaging myself already and appreciate this confirmation.
Thank you so much for this advice specially when I have suffered from severe dizziness for almost a year and I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, God bless you for this advice 🙏🏻
It’s our pleasure. Sorry to hear of your severe dizziness. Wishing you all the best!
What a great hour I spent watching this wonderful human. Thank you for sharing!

Our pleasure Randy!!
This is great information. Thank you.😊
Glad it was helpful!
Wow I need to listen to this a few times it is so important
Isn’t it?! We hope you found it helpful!
I'll try one more time, but somehow my comment is being erased, right after I post it, twice. I really hope it helps someone... My comments were about grounding or earthing for 10 minutes a day with your bare feet on the Earth. It reduces inflammation it resets the Vegas nerve. It sucks the static electricity out of the Vegas nerve. Anyone could look this up on CZcams. I hope my comment is not erased again.. I see it's here, so I'll edit it. .I hope people read my comment. Take their shoes off and run right outside and put their feet on the ground. And no one has to tell you how to do it and you don't have to wait for someone's response, Nor pay someone to teach you how to do it and your insurance doesn't have anything to do with it.
Thanks for the share! I’m not sure why your comment was deleted - thanks for persisting! We actually have a video on grounding/earthing with Carrie Bennet. I’ve also written about it extensively. Such a fascinating topic!!! 🙏
This is very helpful! Thank you so much for the details in how to activate the Vagus Nerve.
Our pleasure Amy! Glad to hear it was very helpful!
Everything you said resonated very much with me, thank you doc :) and thank you healthpath!
‘Stop chasing pain’ sounds amazing
You’re welcome! Glad it resonated! 😊🙏
Loved, Loved, Loved this! Thank you Dr Nickelston!
So glad you loved it!! 🙏😊
So interesting, thanks so much for sharing. He explains everything so well!!
Thank you for this information. This is exactly what I needed to hear due to all the health issues I’m going through. You addressed everything I’m feeling. Finding your talk was not by chance. I’m going to implement all your advice ASAP.
Fantastic! Let us know how you get on!
Wow! I really needed to hear this right now. Talk about perfect timing. Amazing! Thank you so much. 😃🙏
You are so welcome
I have suffered for over a decade with ongoing strange symptoms and debilitating conditions and recently have been hit by a myriad of digestive issues. Long story short I've been in overactive sympathetic nervous system response for years. I started intuitively listening to my body and ended up doing a bunch of these things that people talk about to stimulate the vagus nerve without even knowing it was a thing. I know I'm on the right path. And people like you and this doctor are a Godsend for people in a situation like me. Much love and blessings and I hope so strongly that we can get this world healthier. We all deserve to feel good and contribute to the amazing lifestyle we could have here on Earth. 💚
He is so knowledgeable and know how to explain difficult stuff in a simple way.
We agree! 💯
This is fantastic info! He explains so well. This seems really important, relevant to all!, fundamental information + simple techniques. Thanks so much!! ☮️💖
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Dr Perry, I have learned so much from you. All you have said makes so much sense to me. God bless you. I will put into place everything that you have taught.
Wonderful!
Thank you ❤
Our pleasure!
Totally love this. Amazing. This is SO my story. Like they said, SO many AHA moments in this video. Thank you so much ❤
You’re welcome (on behalf of Dr. P!). Glad you enjoyed it!
It was amazing explanation. Thank you so very much valuable information.
Great! We’re glad you found the explanation so helpful. Dr. Perry will appreciate the comment.
That was truly helpful. Explains why I haven't healed ,no matter what I have done ..I have kept myself together and came to the basics ...good food ,hydrate,, sun, nature ,movement ,love ,shelter ,de-stress ,breathe creativity ....the basics ....wish I knew this 50 yrs ago ...but I guess it was my cross card ,karma to work through
We’re glad you found it so helpful! It’s interesting how many people (including myself) come full circle and realise just how important the basics are!!
