The Surprising Cause Of Your Illness: It Started Before Birth

I've spent years trying to understand what exactly is going on in the brain, the body, the emotional systems. And this is really what makes logical sense to me, that this started even years before you were born, in terms of the factory setting of that amygdala and the insular parts of the brain, how they become hypersensitive. Then an illness comes along as a result of our defenders defending us too well, making us push beyond our limits. And then the hypervigilance, the worry part, comes along and keeps worrying about the symptoms in our body, which then causes the vicious cycles and the overstimulation of our immune system and nervous system. And for some people, just changing the diet, doing the supplements can be enough to calm some of the effects of a hyperactive immune system and nervous system, which can then go on to creating a virtuous cycle. And some people do heal from lots of different therapies and strategies. And yet for others, that conditioning in the brain, that sense of we are in danger, continues. And therefore, this is where brain retraining comes into its element and is the most important piece. So we're going to be training the brain that we aren't in the danger that it thinks we are in.
