I have seen many patients over the years with similar presentations yet with an unclear cause they often face frustration in getting a diagnosis and treatment. Since conditions such as Lyme can be hard to definitively diagnose after the acute stage they often assume it is Lyme disease. Perhaps this new research will help better understand systemic inflammatory conditions such as these. Of particular interest to me is the potential implication the virus may have on the vagus n...erve. Mindful practices such as yoga increase vagal tone but perhaps in these cases we need to understand more. 80%of vagal function is afferent meaning it takes messages from the gut and other organs to the brain. Fecal assessment to identify bacterial balance in the gut in these patients could be a key to watch similar to recent understanding of Parkinson’s, migraines and now Lyme as identified in the recent study: https://mbio.asm.org/content/11/5/e02310-20 Many ancient medical approaches focus on gut health as the key to health and approaches vary dependent upon individual factors. It is time we universally apply this wise concept, understand the bacteria in our guts better and appreciate their unique roles in our unique bodies. https://www.wsj.com//doctors-begin-to-crack-covids-mysteri

Did you know that physio yoga (physical therapy and yoga) can help protect your teeth? For decades I have been treating patients with temporomandibular conditions (jaw) and use both my training as a Physical therapist and a Yoga therapist. As this article points out, ergonomics, stress, posture, insomnia are all factors. And...I would add HOW you breath is a huge factor. A thorough physio yoga assessment can identify which factors might be contributing to your symptoms and offer suggestions and tools to help you protect your teeth, reduce headaches and neck pain and even feel more peaceful. https://news.yahoo.com/dentists-seeing-epidemic-cracked-tee

A five minute introduction to a cleansing breath practice called Kapalabhati. This practice can be used to assist in cleansing the lungs and upper respiratory tract such as clearing secretions in chronic asthma. While it is initially a stimulating practice, with slow progression it ultimately can enhance vagal tone and create a calming effect. In this practice strength is more important than speed. Please avoid if you have hypertension, GERD, heart disease, hiatal hernia or if you are pregnant or having an acute asthma episode. Also note that the pelvic floor should naturally rise with each exhale. https://youtu.be/5cXVz-i3s4E
