I would, personally, add tinnitus. There are external instigators of it for me, like alcohol but I notice over and over that stress kicking in corresponds with louder noticeable internal ringing.

Yes, my father has it and has found the same, espescially when he has tension in the neck.

Great info.....

The Vagus & Peroneal nerves are the two main systems they attack with the frequency weapons & the bio tech.... I've been researching/investigating & gathering information on this for 5 years.

Interesting, yes I guess if there devices which stimulate the vagus nerve positively, it would be possible to weaponise. Not too familiar with the peroneal nerve, will have to look up.

They use both nerve channels together with the meridian energy pathways…. Frequency modulation & bio tech. They’ve been messing with it for decades…. well before the Iraq war.

The Chinese, Russians... all superpowers have their own program for all this stuff!

WE are the only ones left in the dark!

"To my mind, this once again iterates that many (most?) “dopamine deficient” conditions are really chronic stress conditions."

That is a sound conclusion. Stress is bad — unless one is fighting off sabertooth tigers, which is not the case in developed societies. Stress, and certainly *chronic* stress, are not healthy as a normal condition. People need to realize that they are making choices to work and live in stressful situations and that there are more healthful alternatives.

Gary, you're great at always reminding your readers that, bottom line, it's all about autonomic self-regulation. Excellent sleuthing in this article.

Nicotine mimics acetylcholine, boosting cognitive abilities.

I suppose that's why smokers relax when they smoke?

Perhaps the gum could help or buy natural tobacco. The real culprit in smoking are the chemicals added by name brands plus pesticides. Not sure how bad it is in Europe but in the USA they are allowed to add some crazy crap to the cigarettes.

Having seen how wherever I look, I see what the medical world says is good for us is actually bad, and vice versa, I am doubting the smoking story, as they only seem to ban things which actually have some health or stress reducing benefit.

I think you speak for many people.

Things have reached a point now where if any 'authority' (government, medical person etc.) tells me to do (or not do) something then I am minded to do the exact opposite.

To my mind, this once again iterates that many (most?) “dopamine deficient” conditions are really chronic stress conditions.

Thank you for writing most.

There is a condition Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome. The most patients when they are in vertical position are having adrenaline surge. It helps them not to collapse but the side effect is the constant adrenaline rush. And it seems that any acetylocholine raising meds and supplements are helpful.

Yes, there is a doctor who works with - Dianne Driscoll. She has invented supplements to boost acetylcholine.

Thanks Gary.

I presently suffer from chronic tinnitis, which after 7 years has morphed into what sound like a condition called 'Typewriter Tinnitis ' or staccato.

MRI does correlate with a looped nerve, near vestibulocochlear.

However, the recent change to Typewriter T, corresponded with some new stress in my life.

Presently, I trying having Somatic massage, which is helping me to tune into other areas of of body and nervous system.

I learned the 'Voooooo' method today as a tool to help relax the vagus nerve.

My ENT suggested Carbamazepine, which is an anti Epilepsy drug. Yes, I believe it works, but at what cost?

I'm hopeful of help inflamed nerve relax and will probably try Acupuncture next. TMJ exercises have also help me relax that area of my face.

I'm wondering about magnesium glycinate? as in a product called calm X by magalegenics?

However, after reading up on Effect of magnesium and calcium ions on the release of acetylcholine, I'm unsure. It's such h a midfield.

Doses you book address different ways yo help calm the vagnus nerve ?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Good that you are taking a pro-active approach. Have heard lots about magnesium, but there are so many different types it get confusing. Yes the course has several suggestions for exercises you can do improve vagus function. There are also ways to stimulate the vagus via the ear, which might be appropriate for tinnitus? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6697069/

In our view, different diagnoses are just different clusters of symptoms that you can get from chronic stress, or a lifetime accumulation of small or big traumas
