Vagus nerve importance post pandemic ( 

Anyone else noticed the general population have lost their ability to drive competently? Loss of awareness and ability to think ahead or comprehend their own speed and/or lack of safe distance from other drivers?

After 2 years of maximum stress I got diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. I was in flight Modus permanently. I learned to cut out stress and got better. During the covid years I experienced maximum stress again due to not wanting to get the jab. I was not doing well but the mandatory jab ran out and I got better after a year. I bet a lot of people got into flight modus due to the way our government handled it all. Thanks for the video. In the future I will try to be more observant of how I react to stress. I’ll get into breathing exercises.

This is why fasting, meditation and prayer are powerful low-tech tools for vagus health!! Loved this talk Dr. Raszek! Hope we can connect again sometime 🎉

Imagine where we will be in another 20 years if we are given the freedom to explore concepts that challenge the dogma.

As a layman it seems so bizarre that something that you'd expect to be connected and seems completely logical would be connected to only have been discovered. It's like when they discovered that grey matter wasn't just dead space in our brains. I remember when that was discovered and was like are you for real..

Measured, encouraging, curious, informed, calm, inclusive and humane as a person could ever hope to be found as a mentor for self help discovery. No hype, no hard sell, no waffle just plain discourse upon vital information so thank you more than i can convey for you effort, dilligence and generousity. Xoo

Dont forget some people have instability in the C1 and C2 joints. That can squeeze the vagus nerve and the main blood vessels too. Many people with hypermobility have this issue. It can cause all weird issues including in eyesight, balance, hearing, nerve issues, etc. Its called Cervical Instability I believe. Its something that many doctors never check for. And I also understand in order to actually see it, scans need to be done in different positions / moving the neck to actually see the vagus being squished!

Yoga = breathing = brahmari humming technique (bee breathing) = vagus nerve stimulation. humming resonates with all parts of the body, u dont need a machine, your body is the perfect machine. Namaste.

I recommend the book, “Mastering the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve” by Stanley Rosenberg

My husband has afib and has learned how to massage the vagus nerve, sort of speak, by eating something dense, like a hamburger, and it places him back in rhythm. And i remember our yoga teacher talking about it too. Our bodies are amazing creations indeed.

Of course and as we are designed by the most omnipotent and amazing Creator, there is no doubt a vast connection and fully functioning within all the systems!

Read a book: „The vagus nerve, your inner therapist“ Very interesting. Looking forward to the video!

The Nervus Vagus is well understood in yoga science. Some names of authors on this subject: Rudolph Ballentine, Phil Nuernberger. But there are many more.

Now I'm curious about fluoride's neurotoxicity effects on the vagus nerve. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin but we're assured that its effects are minimal in the amounts we're normally exposed to, outside an industrial accident. But people with impaired kidney or liver function can experience toxicity at much lower levels. Another reason to end intentional water fluoridation. There's also the possibility of monosodium glutamate being an issue since glutamic acid is a neurotransmitter and potential excitotoxicity in the gut having an effect on the vagus nerve similar to inflammation.

You remind me of tonsils. In my generation, a lot were surgically removed. The explanation given was: although tonsils are supposed to protect you from infections, they can themselves become infected to the point of spreading infection instead. Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree, though 😅

Wishing everyone always happy and healthy.

Wow we have known for a long time that high stress levels lower immunity so the correlation was always present.

Everything you've descrobed is what I experienced following my very first Covid19 infection (the alpha variant) - I was among the first ones to be infected, in the UK. I had all those post-viral inflamation in my body, including the vagus nerve. It put me down for 6-8 months, not knowing what's going on, and no doctor ever figured it out, and another 6-8 months of recovery. It took me almost a year of research, of reading studies and listening to smarter (than your average docror) people like you to figure out what that was. Eventually, after 12-14 months I have made a full recovery. Keep a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy, proper organic meat, and other anti inflamatory foods. Reast a lot. Make sure you have all the necessary vitamins. And do meditation and lifght physical exercises (like chi-gong, yoga) to calm your vagus nerve and regulate your autonomic system again.

Many palpitations, weird heartbeats, headaches, pain behind head upper neck,blurry vision,tingling feet and hands...some other things but I have been told my vagus nerve may be damaged...I wonder if there's ways to renew this? My Drs don't really know what's going on causing things and some medications I've been given are doing absolutely nothing.

Been waiting for this. If I mention V.nerve to a doctor they think I am crazy. I discovered the VN not long ago not due to any covid but as I have fibromyalgia, reflux Problems. I believe it is paramount to so many illnesses. Thank you for reporting on it.

Cozy evening after watching this and reading every comment. You look so chilly cold Doc I just want give you a hot coffee and a holiday hug. Sharing everywhere Im able. 🍐❄️

Good that you have seen this and addressed it. 18 dec. 2023. The human body is, in a certain way, apart of all the many (read: many) scientific facts that we know about it, a mystery.

Love how you explained this and everything in your videos! You rock!❤

Interesting in so many ways… I had C19 almost three years ago.. I still have very little taste or smell, as well as horrible tinnitus ( I am a musician and a baker…. So debilitating). I was hoping for a “cure” for the tinnitus! I have gotten used to the lack of taste and smell. I am so thankful for all your videos! Thank you.

I massage 4 Vagus Verve pressure point areas in my ears and it calms me down immediately. It really works.

I agree, not a medical expert here but I've been interested in the action of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and discovered how they balance each other in almost every function of the autonomic NS. We should pay a much closer attention to this subject and I'm glad you brought I forward. Thanks for sharing 🙏

My yoga teacher tells me that singing, buzzing (you make a sound like a buzzing bee) and doing the Om helps the vagus nerve. Also doing Heart Rate Varibility training helps too...but you need to rest too. So dont over due it. People with C-PTSD have issues with the vagus nerve too.

When I had covid, August 2022, I could feel my vagus nerve literally vibrating. I had a strong sense of it being illuminated. It was not unpleasant. I had an urge to eat nasturtium leaves and flowers, which were growing in my garden. I am not vaccinated. I was knocked out with the covid for 2 days, I could hardly walk. By day four I was better. Thank you for bringing such important things to our attention

Glad mainstream medicine is starting to look at what some cultures have known for 1,000's of years. Great video. Thank you for sharing this info. Subscribed.

Hats Off Doc! This has to be one of the most important videos you are toast without knowing your vagus nerve is your main squeeze big time! I’ve been waiting for someone to put this out since I can’t !!!!✨🙏

Thank you for the knowledge 👍

I had covid for the second time on November 29 (first time Jan 2022). The start of the first day I passed out 3 times, with cold sweat, disgusting nausea and dizziness! Then it was over, only these internal chills that I also experienced in 2022, and fatigue, no appetite, but otherwise ok. On 8 Dec I was 100% 'fit for the fight' again, apart from appetite which only slowly returned. (Smell and taste intact). In my notes I wrote: "my vagus nerve was attacked by covid virus - and my immune system handled it"

Thank you so much! You are a joy to listen to, not only for your content, but how you convey it. 🙏🏻😊

Thank you so much. Another clue. To treat chronic fatigue And dysautonomia I got after vaccination, I took D-Ribose because I read it increased ACH for energy. It did work a little. I tried lots of things. Most didn't work. Also NAC worked a bit too. I think you're right about vagus nerve. My immunologist told me to massage mine when I feel my heart race.

Very well explained. Very interesting! Thank you very much for all the informations. You’re an amazing doctor. We loved what you’re doing.

I love your research🥰 Autoimmune deficiency has been a part of my whole life. My body suffered from inflammation getting worse into my 30's ending up with type 1 diabetes at 34. I've studied and stumbled into the importance of eating organic foods. Everything you're studying is wonderful information ❣️ The last five years eating chemically clean foods have relieved me of getting the cold and flu often... and cleared up my lupus, sciatic inflammation pain, skin rashes and all allergies💖 Again I thank you for your research!!! It means the world to me. . .

What happens in Vagus stays in Vagus man, that is a rule.

Assuming I had an inner ear episode( serious vertigo) through physical therapy( with a vestibular therapist) I discovered that my Vagus nerve was weak , it explained many of my symptoms - it was so bad I thought I had a stroke. I continue the exercises to this day, have become more aware of fatigue. I had 3 Covid shots ( the third being the booster) and have had serious joint pain since then. I also went gluten free. I think that has helped. By the way my dr. , while wonderful otherwise, was not the greatest help at this time. Here in Canada the dr.’s were mostly silent during Covid. Thanks for talking about the Vagus nerve- it was really eye opening.

Chinese energetic medicine has always understood this brain immune connection! This connection is called triple warmer in acupuncture! In Chiropratic Functional Neurology and in the medical profession it is known as disautonomia! A form of this is called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. POTS for short.

Just diagnosed with CLL, your light bulb moment is a BOOM!!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! This information may be life saving for me …

*Vagus* - **to wander** This is where we get the words *Vagrant* and *Vagabond*

Dr. R, this is a stretch, but I’ll put it out there anyway. Sean O’Mara, M.D., a Minneapolis-based doc is a researcher and clinician. He has been working hard to get the message out there regarding visceral fat and how utterly devastating it is for human health, especially given its inflammatory and cytokine-producing dynamic. I have to wonder if, generally speaking, those people with less visceral fat have had a better overall response to any of the javelins that have been thrown at us in recent times, or, if we were to eliminate our visceral fat will we improve that which ails us now… javelins, infections, prods, etc.

very exciting as i use my tens unit and chew tobacco bless u for ur research

Very very interesting, thank you! Vagus nerve neuromodulation sounds very promising!

Very interesting thank you.

Thank you!!! I’ve been studying the vagus nerve. I have an autoimmune disorder. The vagus nerve is are most important nerve!! It regulates are heart, the lungs, the brain, so much! I had posterior cervical laminectomy with fusion and I feel my vagus nerve may have been injured based on what’s happening to me.

I’m curious about the vagus nerve in relation to MS. I suspect an imbalance in the Gut microbiome causing widespread cytokine storms and activating inflammatory pathways causing autoimmune response (possibly when certain viruses are present)

Thank you! I am looking forward to see your next video. Soooo verrry interesting!!!!

That was a mouthful, but very incouraging. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing...

Have had similar injuries from Gard...HPV inoculation. POTS, unexplained vomiting, lack of clotting, cold sweats, severe sleep disturbances, bone issues, and NOW dysregulated/low IgG. Have not done the testing for IgG subclasses, but need IgG infusions. Could Vagus nerve influence lack of clotting as well clotting? Love the information and happy you are willing to share your immense knowledge. Another light in the darkness.

One of my patients had "mononucleosis" at age 14 .It began fainting during the mass, after some days an icterus appeared bit no lymphadenopathiesand he was diagnosed with " acute Hepatitis". Some months later he began to have marked symptoms of vegetative dysfunction ( extrasystoles, unmotivated tachycardia, bouts of hypotension, fatigue, suddenly feeling bad, fear to faint, phobia to take a train or a plain, or even to stay on a bookstore searching for the Works of Michel de Montaigne !!! This concert of neurovegetative dysfunctions responded to Valium or Librium and disappeared as he was studying medicine and he was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 26.A collective complete blood test revealed positivity for EBV but not hepatitis A ( HVB and HVC were still not discovered) ! The same or similar type of neuro- vegetative dysfunctions I observed in other patients after viral ( but not bacterial) infections. Long Covid seems to be a condition initiated by viral infections , but especialy EVB that activates some precise point in the pathway of permanent or episodic auto- immune disturbances.

So interesting - had an electric acupuncture pen for the past almost 20 years and have ordered another one recently, using it a lot on my vagus nerve as since I received Pfizer, I had systematic inflammation from cell membrane damage caused by the vaccine which caused me problems with thevagus nerve. So it's become routine now to do regular treatments for myself almost every day - thank you so very much 🙏🙏👌🍀✨️

Thank you Dr., I so appreciate this information and will continue to research more. Happy Holidays to you and yours 🎉

yes i have a routine that i do that helps me check in with my vagus but your upload has highlighted other aspects i was not aware off, thank you for helping us

I am subscribed to Scribd. Just went in and found lots of documents about the vagus nerve.

My vegas nerve starts to activate just before my pain flare up in my L5 S1 spine injury starts. Solar weather ( solar flares...etc) triggers my adheasive aracanoiditis pain flare up, which even morphine won't touch it, but when I block the space weather, my pain is mitigated immediately. Subsequently my wifes Fibromyalgia pain flare up is also mitigated when blocking soace weather... we have a shielding room. Tested for 10 years. We also discovered 8 yeara ago that solar flares activate inflammation and endothelial, so most medical episodes we tested over the years with a shielding room is mitigated immediately. (Of course the space weather flux correlation is virtually 100% as well)

I wonder if unbeknownst to us, mine and my partner’s Covid infection last year affected our breathing and therefore the acidity in our blood. For weeks I had lactic acid in my legs after walking at normal speed...it was awful.

Yes so so important I teach yoga and cold swim and have been working with this for 20 years. 55 in in very good health 🌿

Thank you. I was recently hospitalized with intermitent severe chest pain . Brief rise in cardiac troponins . echo and CTA near normal. I am 72 and a nurse for 35 years in USA. Soon to have upper endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound. I also have been interested in the Vagus nerve possibly being a part or whole of my problem. So I will be watching your information closely.

Ptsd and trauma severely affects it too

Fascinating topic…I’ve learned so much from your videos. That you.

Thank you for an understandable explanation about the vagus nerve.

Thank You SO much, once again very informative video.

I noticed there was a Trial on a device that would stimulate the Vagus Nerve to help those that had Crohn's Disease, but I'm not sure if it worked or not. Reason why I'm interested is; was Diagnosed in 1991 as having Crohns after having antibiotics for a fungal finger infection. I had all the Classic Symptoms of an Infection but the Doctors didn't listen to me and called an Autoimmune Condition instead. Years later I started getting Numbness of my left leg then was diagnosed with MS. A few years back my blood was tested for a MAP Infection and I tested positive 5 times out of 6. It was called the "US MAP Blood Study" put on by Scientists in 6 different labs around the World. It was Funded by the Humanpara Foundation. The bug is a Mycobacterium from Cow's Milk which is not Pasterurized high enough in Canada where I live. I've researched this for years since I could no longer work for Agriculture Canada as a Greenhouse Worker in Vancouver. I've always been a curious person and my parents were Medical Professionals so I do know a lot although not formally trained. My Father wanted me to be a Lab Tech but in a way I'm a bit like that for I want to research things and get to the bottom of what is affecting people. Immune Dumbing down drugs do NOT cure although the Drug Companies make loads of money from them. It reminds me of ," The Snake Oil Salesmen" of years ago. Have you heard of them? My Father warned me of them as I was growing up but they are still around today. These people used Snake Oil and went from town to town selling it and claiming they could heal all kinds of maladies with it. The authorities eventually shut them down, but now they're back at it for the FDA has hired on their Board Drug Company personnel. So there is no proper regulation on the Drugs being produced. It is a system that works for Drug Companies now. Sadly the Patients are at risk and kept proverbial sick. Since I now have 2 problems I figured that there MUST BE connection somehow between the 2. I think it is most likely the Vagus Nerve. My Peripheral Blood Sample tested positive thou so I've been infected throughout my body. I hope you find lots of new World Changing Info. Keep me posted too for it is intriguing to say the least!

I injured my vagus nerve from lifting too much with improper form. I’ve never lost consciousness from an injury until that one too. Ever since my life has been chaotic as far as body/mind connection go for me. Acupuncture really helped and illuminated a lot for me. Yet, more injuries post vagus nerve and lack of medical attention has left me an out of sorts mess.

I found out about the vagus nerve over the last 3 years on you tube and it is soooo important. Will it be part of the arsenal for the pandemic starting up (omicron). It is changing m😊y life. Thank you for posting info.

I have wondered if the Vagus Nerve plays a role in TMJ disorders as well with muscle tension from jaw clenching, grinding and inflammation irritating the nerve.

Love this information. Spoken in a way we can all understand ❤

Super interesting! Thank you!

FASCINATING

After watching, Bill Ryan,D3. Many years ago, here. Only, audio is there, now. There was a, German. Dr. Gabriel Stahler? Recently, Mudfossil, University, kindy explained the benefits of, Kefir. Kefir, allows me to help gut brain connection. Thanks.

This is so exciting!!! Thank you Dr.

There are some old physical manipulations known and available to activate the vagus stimulus directly by action. This could be overall for the individual body so effective, that an individual could go on with no more then 4 hours sleep a day without any degenerations. This procedure follows mostly not even a strict diet.

The fact a major indication of covid was loss of smell and raste would potentially point towards a vegus nerve issue aswell. I still think its an endosome exosome issue, and one issue being a negative enviroment, inside and out can reduce how they are produced. They deal with inflamation too and would also create a non select range of issues, kjnd of like the most worn parts see breakdown first perspective. Has anyone tried exosome increasing methods in helping complications from either covid or the injections.

Welcome to holistic science😊

I’m starting to read this: Vagus Nerve Exercises Author Nick Barrymore.

Thank you

I have Gastroparisis a Vagus Nerve issue. Mine was from Diabetes1. I have weight gain not weight loss type. So many are looking for help with this Rare disease. Death happens to so many. Symptoms you mentioned are correct and they are so bad Please do a video on this. So happy to see Vagus Nerve information.

Now I kind of understand why the wim Hoff protocol works. It has to do with that vagus thing. The protocol includes breathing exercises and cold exposure.

So how can i check the vagus nerve status in my body?

No Covid nor other things ;) but I’ve experienced stomach migraines. Never knew that even existed. Could the vagus nerve have an impact right at the diaphragm, where my stomach migraines start? Thank you for your very important, and expansive knowledge!

Thank you. I try understanding your lectures, n l feel, l do get your points, but it would be so good to understand it all.

Is the thymus forgotten ? “Sympathetic innervation of the thymus originates from the superior cervical and stellate ganglion. These fibers travel in a plexus along large blood vessels until they enter the thymic capsule. Parasympathetic fibers arise from the vagus, recurrent laryngeal, and phrenic nerves. Several rodent studies have found that thymocytes respond to stimuli via norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, neuropeptide Y, vasoactive intestinal peptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and substance”

Thank you so much...very helpful :) Merry xmas to you and your family...!

The Vagus Nerve can be modulated by the breath. It is just like the medical system to sell an expensive device and treatment when the person can learn to use breathing to modulate the Vagus Nerve! Naturally!

Spinal injuries and structural miss alignment problems and tight muscles or poor muscle tone all have a considerable affect on the Vegas nerve and are often the cause of Vegas nerve problems

700Euro is still a lot of cost for a waveform generator device. One could deploy entire world in conducting studies and rake up the cost. I found this piece of knowledge: Rub your both ears hard with each side hand and then perform "Bhramary" yoga action. You will become the Waveforms generator. 😉

had Vasovagal syncope from childhood - occassional momentary fainting and got a pacemaker(after many years) following an episode which stopped the heart...wonder if problem was para-sympathetic function wasn't available in moments of stress. Now pm monitors heart rate and apparently sends out occassional pulses.....

16:01 co2 applied directly to the corona virus in petri study versus nitric oxide. Which one do you think would have the most effect or even both applied together ? Also, what is your thoughts on niacin ( the flush type) which dilates your blood vessels and common aspirin for thinning blood ? Half tabs, low dose

Six months ago I got shingles . I think my vagus nerve is damaged . I had the awful pain around my right ear and the back of my neck then coming down my neck onto my chest .I still have itchy skin and burning sensation . Its been hell . I stopped taking the pills the doctor gave me as it made me very dizzy .

One interesting thing I noticed is that before I got COVID I had heart palpitations related to vagus nerve damage that I received from a car accident. After the infection the palpitations almost completely cleared up and have not returned. Wonder if it was related in any way?

Since you are talking about the vagus nerve can you do a deep dive into the effects of Semaglutide /Ozemoic shots on the body ? I am very concerned at the increasing number of people taking this drug to lose weight at significant risk to their health

shoot - missed it live - had my reminder set too. ahhh

Please please check out SUGAR and the effect on vagus nerve as sugars are metabolised on the tongue and excite the brain causing inflammation and therefore the vagus nerve

Could lesions on the brain stem damage the Vagus nerve? The lesions are there due to MS , they came up on an MRI.

Cant believe AFTER i figured out my vagus nerve may be umpinged from a neck injury & spoke with my neurologist about it (& found i have an aneurysm)i cannot wait to talk to him about my CTA results from my brain & neck. Using red light therapy & alot of natural stuff ive gotten the right test after a year & a half! Symptoms are insane!!!!

Cervical instability can cause the same dysautonomia set of symptoms through compression at C1 C2. I suffered a whiplash injury 15 years ago which is impacting me now in the form of long covid. The exact nature of vagus nerve impingement can be seen in real time using a digital motion x-Ray which shows how vertebrate articulate in relation to each other and surrounding structures like blood vessels and ligaments. See the work of Dr Hauser of Caring Medical. Florida US. The other work I feel interfaces with this Prof Gerald Pollack’s Fourth Phase of Water, Washington Uni. US.

Passing out at the sight of blood??

Have you looked into vitamin B1 deficiency which also controls the central nerve system? Thiamine deficiency is considered absent in the western world, but I'm thinking that overproduction of food and overcooking could maybe still give us a deficiency.
