    Yes! I love this interview. I’ve been healing my trauma for years and the only thing I can’t do yet is live my authenticity. I’m still trying to find myself as I was not allowed to have passions or expression or my own needs when I was young. It’s a journey. But this is the missing piece I’ve been looking for. ❤🙏🏼

    Anj has such a brilliant way of explaining things. Listening to this interview helped me realize why brain retraining only got me so far. I really had to do more work on calming my nervous system before the cognitive learnings could “stick.” I love that she mentioned a healing mindset vs. a cure mindset. Her description of limbic kindling was just terrific. Thanks for this interview, Raelan! You did a masterful job of stopping her to clarify things.

    I’m so glad I found this, I’ve been dealing with long covered for three years and I had no idea. I’ve been trying to figure out why I have so many symptoms and what they are from. I’ve seen every type of doctor and including Reiki acupuncture all the modalities and nothing worked so hard for three years but now I feel like I’m crashing.

    I know Lalita and landed at her home during the pandemic. To those people who are saying that Lalita should be sharing resources for free, she does so much for free and I have personally experienced her as someone who is genuine and operating with integrity. She is using her time to help others and that is so so valuable and admirable and I know she helps so many in the Tasmanian and international community.

    I faithfully did brain retraining for 9 months. My doctor and psychologist recommended it. My coach told me I was doing it correctly and it was going along. I had not one single symptom relieved . . . ever! Finally, my psychologist and doctor told me that they did not think my brain was the issue. In addition to the ME/CFS I was diagnosed recently with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is genetic.

    Ive had POTS syndrome for 20 years. Blood volume boosting through high salt intake , salt fluid loading , aerobic exercise, and weight training are what treats POTS ( without going the medication route). Also avoid getting dehydrated or stress/overexertion .

If somehow we could train survivors of MECFS and those nurses/doctors/medical providers of what exactly MECFS is and does and the process of how to overcome MECFS.....just think about that!!!

    3-4 weeks on H1 and H2 blockers as well as a combination of alpha keto glutarat and 5hmf, 20 mg (furfural) made a huge difference for me, i was barely able to push a shoping cart- to at least physical 90% recovery (depression still present, but workin on it) .. did lots of other stuff too, but the main shifts happened when i started doing those..

    I think Anj and I are actually the same person, all the way down to the ED and the nervous system education, the mental breakdown due to being with an addict and taking care of everything! And reactivated EBV that was the tipping point! I have a degree in behavioral neuroscience too. And the paralysis.

      ​​​​​Best way to contact you personally? I could use the help. Bedbound, pretty severe. Can only do short bursts of screens. But I don't have $ for many of the programs. Husband left after my diagnosis and no family help so I am on govt. caregiving now. So that's my situation in a nutshell. Let me know if you'd still be interested in connecting. I've learned it's best to be up front about my situation right away cause a lot of people with MEcfs or brain retraining programs have kinda fallen off when I tell them.

    Hi! 20 yrs ago, I was a former NCAA athlete. Trained and moved fast with intensity to live life to the fullest . I was racing my bike. Band winning offen. Fittest I’d ever been at age 35. Winning races and almost literally one day I woke up and it literally felt like I had just gone to bed after riding 100 miles. Back then, CF was almost laughed at by doctors. Most not recognizing CF but my tiders and symptoms showed it. I went from massive diet changes, exercise adjustments and slow retreat from things I loved to do. I was raising two healthy boys at the same time so- no time to really stop. It was brutal! I remember wishing I had thyroid dysfunction or Hashimotos so at least it was acknowledged. I stumbled on th is program… but I in my own way, found the process, meditation and understood my mental state and wickedly high cortisol levels that were self induced. So happy to see this now for people today! The process is a learning process for the future- after this CF resolves. Bless you all!

I know she is now such a wonderful coach helping others who were once in her shoes coming at it with a whole-body approach. Amazing to see that she is also trying to share knowledge about the nervous system from her experiences and research with other western medical professionals. I also appreciate how she factors where western medicine can help.

    I have tried most of the list and much much more....only thing that's made a real difference is brain retraining and mind set. Seems like for most it takes retraining your nervous system to be calm compared to treatments. I spent way too much money on treatments when I could've probably avoided most of them. Good luck to all!

    Does it test for h pylori ? I’m assuming it does . I’m having gnawing stomach pain that just won’t go away! But I wonder if it could be a different bacteria causing it as well. I tested negative for HP during an endoscopy but I’d taken antibiotics the day before the test for a different issue. So I think it was a false negative. I can have the HP test done . But I’d rather have all the gut bacteria tested to find out for sure .
