People should be careful not to think recovery is more complicated than it needs to be. All this stuff about mold, toxins, diet and so on can be helpful for a small minority who have underlying issues but for many it just creates more fear, doubt and worry and this actually feeds the illness since the illness thrives on fear. Safety is the one thing we need to teach our brains to stabilise our nervous systems.
The small minority matters too. Everyone’s journey to healing is quite different and brain retraining is not the answer for all things it’s one wonderful tool in the toolbox
Hidden mold almost killed me so I beg to differ !
100% correct, a "minority" may benefit from *_the list_* (like this person👆 that apperantly doesn't know what "minority" means), but they're the exceptions.
I'm severely injured w long COVID + several comorbidities. R healing from hell IS complicated + not simple 😢🙏❤️
Complicated diseases require complicated approaches /takes time! Heal the gut/heal the body.. it's not simple.. it takes time+ hard work ❤
Finding out what’s driving it for you individually is key and critical and there’s not one answer so thank you for bringing forward a diversity of success stories
Another amazing interview, Shaun is so insightful!!! As someone who recovered from ME/CFS by leaving a moldy house, diet, lifestyle, and (the biggest thing) a neuroplasticity program, I wanted to weigh in, because I saw some writing in the comments "don't make recovery more complicated - it's just safety." I do believe there is some truth to this. If we're going on all these forums and scared to death of every thing that could be wrong, there will be rabbit hole after rabbit hole, and expensive naturopaths. However, I really think there is a solution for this:
And that's looking at your own life like a scientist. Because doctors will not, they'll only look at you based on average symptoms and through their own organ/profession lens. And functional doctors and naturopaths will often throw everything at you. With mold, there is no mystery to it. Mold exposure is linked to one main thing, and that's water damage. Also, you don't always need some fancy protocol, good old sweat (at a level that's easeful for you) from a sauna is great at clearing things out. With the diet/gut stuff, I think testing the key minerals/vitamins/metals can help and maybe GI map, but the nervous system work really seems to do the most to heal that. I wish I didn't go down so many rabbit holes of herbs & supplements (so much fear, and so much money), but I think because of channels like yours and us sharing our stories, we're learning what really matters.
This is good advice, functional medicine doctors are taking in tons of profits off scared suffering people on pointless tests that are inaccurate to begin with
Thanks for your wise comment, Liz, I think you're dead right. 💛
One thing I take from all the recovery videos is that no one body is the same as the next :) it's hard to project one's recovery story onto yourself just because it seems different from individual to individual and you never know how your body reacts, what it needs etc. :) all of the videos are inspiring of course and give you an idea of what you could do, yet, I feel like everyone is so different and it's hard to know what is it that *you* need or that helps *you* since everyone out there has s really different story. Thanks for all the work you put into it!
Interesting! Really pleased for your healing!
When you said all the brain retraining you can do can't really clear toxins from your body or clear infections my understanding is that it indirectly can do just that. Understanding the cell danger response is helpful as when we are stuck in danger response, not feeling safe etc and we become adapted to this state then it does affect all body systems including the ability to detoxify and how good our immune system functions and much much more. So the idea is through brain retraining we strengthen our bodies own ability to regulate all systems through regulation of the nervous system through brain retraining and mind/body work. However I must say I don't think its always easy to do as I've been brain retraining myself for nearly 2 years with slow progress. However I'm surrounded by unavoidable stress which is tricky!
It's nice to hear a story of recovery that's not through brain retraining and that you healed through other methods whilst also trying the BR. Congratulations on your healing!
Are you pairing brain retraining with nervous system understanding/regulating?
@@taragunn9400 I think brain retraining is a part of nervous system regulation which is multi dimensional involving somatics, trauma work, poly vagal theory etc etc. Brain retraining part being the awareness of subconscious thoughts that can lead to dysregulation and lack of safety. Interrupting those patterns by coming into present awareness sends safety signals to the brain that we are OK, allowing the nervous system to calm, then leading to better homeostasis
@@lauracowan100it's knowing what's going on in.the subconscious especially with autism to
100%
Amazing that u got diagnosed in just a few months! My diagnosis took nearly 10yrs.. Healthcare for chronic conditions in the UK is dogshit. The fact thta it took a few yrs of trying different things really motivates me. I'm gonna keep trying. X
Congrats on your recovery, Shaun! Thanks for sharing your story and being a support to others.
4 years ago I launched into seeing a Functional Medicine Doctor and I'm sicker now than when I started. I've been mostly bed bound for the past 2 years, but could do short walks & more in the house before actually seeing the Doctor! Maybe in the big picture, once I'm well again, I'll be able to see how Functional Medicine has helped me, but right now it's just been a massive financial burden. I'm on 21 different supplements and medications costing a fortune, (and have been on more again while detoxing!!), and the appointments themselves are crazy expensive too. I've done Heavy Metal detoxes and a Mycotoxins detox, and so many different Functional Tests! The Functional Medicine system sounded fantastic, with getting to the root causes of illness, but now I'm wondering if I should have done the Brain Re-training first.. (I'm currently in a Program.) I wonder if the detoxes triggered my immune system further, to be stuck in defence mode, and further affected my autonomic nervous system too. Time will tell if I can recover with the Brain Re-training.. Ashok Gupta talks about the body being able to naturally detox when all the conditions are right.. I'm glad the Functional Medicine route worked for you, Shaun. I wish it had of worked for me too, as it sounded like the perfect system, and I was ever so hopeful. One thing is, the Functional Medicine Doctor was the one who recommended the Brain Re-training, so maybe that'll be something I can thank her for one day. God willing! Interesting how we are all so different and one approach won't work for everyone, so it seems.
Take care everyone. 💛🧡💜
Functional medicine made me sooooo much worse….. and scared the crap out of me…..which just dumped all more stress into my system… the minute he mentioned mark Hyman I turned the interview off… these so called specialist bled me of money, added diagnosis after diagnosis on me, had me consuming hundred of supplements and conceived me how “sick” I was….. I’m glad he got relief…. For me it was the worst decision of my life…. And I’m pulling myself out of the trauma it left me
Sending my love and blessings to you! I’m sure calming the nervous system is profound and will help!
@@mirandaandrea8215 100%!!!! I’ve been at it for 2 years and sooo much better… once I realized the NS was at the root of this calming it only led to so much healing… good luck to u too!
I feel like my story is similar to yours. I feel like doing all the things and not seeing improvement and in some cases getting worse has caused more fear and hopelessness. I have now been working on brain retraining and dealing with the fear before I try anymore "treatments". I have definitely made progress and can see more and more how the fear, feeling unsafe, has effected me all this time. I still have a ways to go but I continue to believe I can get better and that I can tackle one thing at a time. I feel like I need to calm my brain and body so that it can actually process any treatment properly. I feel like my brain sees the treatments as bad (because they are new/different) and rejects them. It sounds like you are on the right path. Wishing you all the best!
I would look at DR Michael Ruscio, there's a problem with trends of treatments and tests in the functional medicine movement, There being little to no scientific evidence for the tests, unfortunately because we are so desperate we are willing to try everything and do all the tests.Unfortunately for a lot of us this tends to lead us mostly nowhere or moving on from one functional medicine practitioner to another. It's a burden but doing your own research before seems to be necessary . I hope you will find relief soon.
Thanks as always Raelan!
I don’t understand why people can’t grasp the concept that sometimes it’s one straw that breaks the camels back after a long session of straws that led to their illness.
If you simply reverse that concept, sometimes the thing that gets you better it’s just removing enough straws and finally that one straw That really reduces the load is lifted that the system can heal.
People can become rigid in their thinking, and their belief system that the way they healed is home everyone should heal, and it is the answer and yet maybe that was just the one thing that finally helped them over the hurdle not the total answer.
The thing that could be finally feeling loved genuine, love, and feeling safety, and that the final thing could be getting a diagnostic test to give you an answer that you can do some thing and then you feel safe and that the answer could be doing brain retraining, and feeling like it is your autonomic nervous system and you do all the steps and you feel safe again so much it seems is finding those things even structural and getting some help for that removing each straw and then finally healing can happen.
And yes… mold is a bio toxin and if your system is weak then it can drag the load down to a level it’s difficult to overcome.
Agreed! I think anna marsh says for some people who did detoxing etc, the brain retraining at the end was the final piece to the puzzle, but sometimes if you miss some steps it may not have the same impact.
The sense of safety is a big one for me.
So well states
Agreed Yet add; Spike & or El natural elephant in the room which expresses / exasperates everything in one system (once toxic bucket so to speak) and the fact is it never shuts off / never shuts down opens up a whole new can of.....
Living such!
Thank you so much for all your work getting these videos out to us all! I really am LOVING this interview with Shaun! Thank you also Shaun for taking the time to share your story! You are so appreciated!
THANK YOU !!!!! I really really appreciate this interview!!
Thank you shaun, ive had cfs in various degrees for 40 yrs, i am now on a program, but spending more time than ever researching my root cause. Thanks for the interview ,it was inspiring, i will not give up❤ Xx
thank you, Raelan!
Interesting, thank you!
Thank you! I needed to hear that today. It’s hard to stand up for oneself when some people around you say oh it’s just burn out. Just chill for some weeks or months…
reignited my inspiration!
Great to hear your story Shaun, wishing you all the best, from another “ Melbournite”
G'day Shaun, from a fellow recovered Victorian! Congratulations on your improved health and new business, may you help many 🎉
Nice, what helped?
Healing my gut, then brain rewiring ❤
I lived in hidden mold, not black mold but from water damage, and it almost killed me. My immune system got totally wrecked and when I contracted Covdi in mars 2020 I got really sick and haven't fully recovered. I moved out of mold, got rid of most possessions, and started over just before i contracted the virus. Mold is such silent killer, but I am now on the recovery train 🙌 Thank you for addressing this very important issue!
& with Spike protein/s never off/ down complicates even more / uphill battle!
Ditto!
Good interview. Please ask your guests what their worse symptoms. As me/cfs has so many different clusters.
Great interview! What type of toxin tests did he take? Was it blood or urine? Thank you!
Good interview but missing concrete information what exactly to do.
he said don't do it yourself, find a professional
Yes! He has a good mic! 🕺💃🎉🥂🎊
Bad mics kinda waste these great convos.
How were your heavy metals tested for? Which were the metals ? Thanks x
what tests showed you had mold poisining? and how are they actually treated?
I am "curious" about the chronic dental infection because I have one too. Didn't find help from doctors in my city so now I have to go to another city to get the cure.
I got pneumonia about 10 years ago, (nearly died after they gave me antibiotics twice and was then hospitalised and put on steroids to unclog my lungs), I think from damp and mold in my house from water damage and not enough ventilation and now have CFS though got a lot of dehumidifiers (my idea) for around the house and hygrometers everywhere to keep an eye on the humidity especially living in bog damp Ireland and this cleared up my post pneumonia asthma and I don't now need inhalers but I still have CFS so something is still wrong and sometimes the fatigue seems strongly connected to digestion i.e. after a meal and weather especially dull days as well as any heavy or prolonged exertion so what could that be I wonder? I feel generally like a car that won't start.
I’m just past the 9 year mark. When my journey started I was 18 and my whole body turned bright red for a few months and was burning 24/7. I was incredibly weak and went 3 weeks without sleep at one point. I had various infections in my body before and they finally just found the major issues. It turns out I have MCAS, POTS, 2 viral infections, chronic immune suppression, and an intestinal issue, but I really don’t want to fight this anymore… Feels like I’m just watching my life pass me by while enduring torture with daily insomnia for 9 years. 😭 Really finding it hard to keep fighting lately.
May you be held and filled with Loving Awareness. May you be free from inner and outer harm. May you be well in body and mind. May you live with ease. This is my prayer for you and will continue.
Don’t give up hope ❤ There’s so much in these recovery stories to keep us going. You’re not alone.
@@belindahall788 Thank you for your prayers. 🙏🏼
@@RicoTheUnknown Yeah, but it’s so damn hard to accept losing so much to this while everyone else is living a normal life. 😭
@@Bossb_99 Hi, have you used any mantras? Try singing *HU* for a few minutes daily, to alter personal frequency. There is a free *HU* app for phones , also 20 minute video of *HU* song on CZcams. "Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies." - Albert Einstein.
I didn’t understand what exactly did in practice to detox from mold toxin and heavy metal. Can you explain us? Thank you
When I did I have to take a zeolite supplement. You have to drink the solution. It apparently binds to the toxin to get them out the body
This video was great but my main takeaway is that he couldn’t do the detoxification process on his own because that would mean more fatigue. And so he’s saying make sure you get help to do it, but there’s no way I could afford that help because I can barely work 😢
I’m interested to see if he had PEM at all. I wonder if he got diagnosed wrongly with cfs
why wrongly diagnosed? I have pem and pese
@@cdv2244 CFS is a breakdown/heightened nervous system disorder, where your NS gives you symptoms because it feels your body isn’t safe. I’ve not heard of anyone at all recovering with tablets to cleanse/support their liver/kidneys and getting rid of toxins.
Did he say his heat track was riddled with mold? Above him?
HVAC, I think he said.
Molt toxicity and heavy metals. What did you do? 45 hearing minutes for ???
He doesnt say what he actually did to detox
I am severe ill 7 years now. 😞😢 And i live in mold and cant move
It’s the fear of mold.. we live in mold 24/7
@@jackiegroden416 i hope 🙏🙏🙏🙌 and pray that you are right
Your body is made to detox… and heal…
That flight pattern animation doesn’t exist on that fake globe.
The first thing that comes to me is did he have to get vaccinated before his departure? Things happen for a reason. Blessings! So happy about your recovery.
Mold is legit unavoidable
It’s everywhere you can’t avoid it, why do other people have zero affect from it and others do,
I'm no expert, but I saw this on a Naturopathic Dr's website and I have read similar elsewhere: "Research suggests that certain individuals have a genetic predisposition that makes them more susceptible to mold toxicity. For example, variations in the HLA-DR gene have been linked to increased sensitivity to mold and its toxins."
This could be a valid explanation. :)
The mycotoxin testing is completely inaccurate at determining whether you have an actual issue with mold. It can show false positives simply based on the food you had around the time you took the test.
I don't really agree with this story, infections and heavy metals should be filtered by the body when it's healthy. Sure it can help to remove them, but you don't remove the ground floor of the problem.
Binders 🤢….. nightmare
Video should be titled man who thought he had CFS … which doctors believe to be a mitochondrial disease, actually has mold poisoning. Goes to functional medicine doctor and gets better. That’s it I’ve saved you 45 minutes.
Thank you 😂
He did have CFS, don't fcking understate others peoples sickness. He was bedbound ffs. And CFS isn't a mitochondrial issue, but a mindbody issue.
@@santeenljust curious if it’s mind body why did functional medicine make it better
@@MegaLeoben A lot of things can help or surpress. If you don't let go, you can surpress and get back to the phase you were before your sickness.
Mold poisoning IS CFS. Trust me, I had it 17 years. And don't you dare say I didn't have CFS.
Raelan you are very cute and beautiful women ❤❤❤❤
This video is absolutely pointless. This man does not have CFS syndrome. It’s very obvious. He explains that he had mold poisoning. Also, what the hell is he doing taking money from people? They could be spending money seeing a functional medicine practitioner like he did.
Your opinion is that it’s pointless*
You’re hung up on the terminology. Healing looks different for everyone just as symptoms are.
Dismissing other people and rejecting others from your exclusive CFS club is literally the mindset you need to stay sick
Cfs is a syndrome, meaning it is a group of symptoms that may have different causes, but the Dr's do not know, because it does not show up on their regular tests. That is why it is important to figure out what you cause is. He just highlighted one option, namely mold poisoning. There are many possible causes and can still be cfs.
