    The medical institution saying that CFS is incurable while not knowing anything about it is such an interesting insight she pointed out. If they don’t know why you’re ill how can they assure you you won’t recover? It shows a lot of arrogance (as you said), ignorance and sometimes just a lack of empathy.

      The mystery is much greater than that. If you ask literally any "health expert" in the world certain questions about how the human mind, the human emotions, or the human body function; then they will not be able to answer them directly. No one totally understands how the human mind, the human body, or the human emotions work in their totality. They are infinitely complex and paradoxical; immersed in a state of perpetual change.

    This is an incredible interview but I am confused why you say this woman had severe me? Severe ME means you cannot endure light sound or human contact- but she could go to an retreat for treatment. I understand she couldn’t walk but to be able to go out and do things it seems she would be mild/high end moderate ME. I only say this as a person who is totally housebound and was bed bound for a year. And am now moderate. As members of the ME community it seems important to use mild moderate severe and very severe correctly. Love what you do for our community. Thank you for these videos

      In my health authorities description "Severe ME" means mostly bedbound. I was this way from 2009 - 2017, mostly in a darkened room but I had periods of improvement where I could sit up, tolerate listening to audiobooks etc. I could "endure" limited human contact, limited light exposure and very limited sound.

      @@RaelanAgle Hi, thank you. My husband and daughters and most of my friends are very supportive. Doctors somewhat believe me but it’s difficult because this covid stuff is all so new and no one talks about the vax side effects. I’m in a great support group on fb and have learned a lot, researched on my own and came up with this diagnosis for myself as I’m a Nurse. Not sure if the vax can cause this but as my symptoms fit I’m going to educate myself on healing my own body because no one has any other answers and I like the answers I see on your channel and with your guests. My goal is to get my life back and be able to return to work in some form, I’m definitely changed from this experience so not sure what form work will take…. Kind of exciting!

      I tried reverse therapy. I think it is the same or very simmialr to mickel and ask got no benefit. I think maybe it is more helpful for those whose symptoms are tied to emotional states or emotionally traumatic experiences. I remember getting so frustrated with the therapy as they get you to try and find the “hidden message” behind symptoms.
      My symptoms were primarily of view cause, worsened by covid.
      I already was emotionally aware, able to set boundries etc.
      physicall exertion triggered my symptom, there was no “hidden message”.
      Like all things, it will work for some but not others.
