Ashok Gupta describes multiple overlapping conditions as neuroimmune syndromes, where the nervous and immune systems become hypersensitive. He calls this an emergency evolutionary program that creates a vicious cycle, allowing infections to flourish. Retraining the nervous and immune systems can reset the body's natural healing.
And many people have crossover conditions and syndromes, which we package under the banner neuroimmune condition syndromes, which is why sometimes if someone has fibromyalgia, they'll also develop chemical sensitivities or food sensitivities, because the overall system is becoming hypersensitive. And that's why we want to retrain it. So that's why it can be puzzling how these conditions cross over. We're essentially talking about an emergency evolutionary program defense system, which is continually over responding. And some people ask, how does this relate to conditions like Lyme disease? We believe that once this system has become in play, where there's a vicious cycle between the brain and the body, that can mean that opportunistic viruses and bacterial infections can flourish in the body, which can show up then in tests. But when you reset the nervous system and immune system, the body is its own natural healer and detoxifier. And many of these secondary conditions then also fade into the background.
