NOT all in your head!
- Published: 01 April 2022
For failsafers with fragrance sensitivity, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue and/or fibromyalgia, there is very good news.
An observational study from McMaster University in Canada has shown that neuroplasticity-based brain retraining can produce significant improvement in these symptoms.
“Neuroplasticity-based treatment for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and multiple chemical sensitivity: feasibility and outcomes” Guenter D et al. (2019)
Researchers studied 102 people who attended a DNRS neuroplasticity-based brain retraining course in 2016. Their symptoms included
- anxiety-chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
- chronic pain
- depression
- fibromyalgia
- food allergies/sensitivities
- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Lyme disease
- migraines/headaches
- multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
- neurological disorders
- post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Participants completed assessments at baseline with follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Quality of life and function improved dramatically over 12 months.
Findings
- Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue were the most common conditions
- A significant improvement was seen in the first three months following DNRS
- After 12 months on average all categories improved
- Statistically, there is less than 1 in 1000 likelihood these changes happened by chance
"All in your head”?
DNRS is the course I did in 2017 for severe fragrance sensitivity and MCS. After one week, my symptoms had improved dramatically. Five years later, the MCS - including fragrance sensitivity - remains completely gone.
“So it really is all in your head,” said one friend.
NO, IT ISN’T!
When people say that, they mean the condition is imagined.
This is a very real condition due to cross-wiring in the brain’s limbic system - and it can be remedied by brain retraining!!!
Neuroplasticity-based courses may be useful for failsafers on severely restricted diets. Two long-time failsafers report that a brain retraining course reduced their food intolerance.
One is a closed order nun:
“…As I was down to only 12 food items I thought I had nothing to lose. Since completing the 3 day programme I have been able to eat everything again, and have had no problems with smells either“ - from story [1208]
The other says:
“I can now eat everything except when feeling stressed”
