To anyone out there, don't give up hope. No one may understand what you're going through, but you will get through this. I had it pretty bad for a long time but came out of it. Don't give up hope.

I just don't know how people do it with no support. How do they even have a roof over their head when this disease prevents you from having stable employment? The depression that comes with it is the worst part. I'm traumatized by the failure that surrounds my life because the quality of my life is entirely degraded. I'm not sure getting over the stress and depression is possible when I'm drowning in medical debt and trying to raise a newborn.

Problem with CFS/ME is that many people do ALL these things and still don’t get better. I’m following a healthy diet, sleeping well, meditating daily, setting firmer boundaries with people, taking lots of supplements, tried reverse therapy. Since august I am still not much better and can’t do sports like I used to.

Such great info! My friend got Stage 4 melanoma cancer at at 24. Doctors said he had one year to live. He had 100% faith that he would heal. It was amazing. I thought he was in denial. 6 months later he was not only cancer free, his bones and lunges which were supposed to have holes in them, looked as if he never had any cancer at all! Doctors called it a miracle and maybe it was but I think his positive mindset had a part to play in it.

1. Wholistic approach 2. Supporting immune system (avoid toxins, flush lots of water) 3. Connection with family and friends 4. Dont over medicate 5. Plenty of rest and sleep 6. Healthy diet, omit processed foods, omit sugar, flour , Some ate meat some didn't. 7. No need to calorie count 8. Avoid living in fight or flight mode 9. Heal stress response 10. Elicit happiness 11. Gratitude for the illness, it can teach you a lot. 12. Change mindset around what is possible. 13. See changes as opportunity. 14. Work on healing your identity. Be compassionate towards yourself. 🙏

Hard to get much joy into your life when you feel so bad and can hardly socialize.

I suffer daily with debilitating Chronic Disease, but as an immigrant with access to very few resources, family support and no sense of community, I find this list really devastating - these things are simply not accessible to many of us who do not have the privilege of time, financial support, family support or the space and money to invest in removing ourselves from the ‘rat race’ to heal. We are stuck just trying to stay above water…this list is hard to hear - now I am certain there is no hope 😞

I have used all of the things you mention to get well, in addition a plant food based high carb low fat diet plus celery juice. Also meditation. After 5 years of this I started year round wild swimming, which seemed to bring all the other things together. After 15-20 years of ME ,I'm well, and have climbed my first mountain in 20 years. Btw I'm 61 😁

We are under incredible stress here in the New York area. The cost of housing, food, insurance, etc is overwhelming. Many live paycheck to paycheck. That alone causes anxiety, stress, fatigue!! I’m a nurse and I have to work. I’m thinking of changing careers but I’ve done this for 25 years. I’m ready to run away from this area and move south. My body is constantly in pain, I’m exhausted for years. Nothing helps.

The problem with CFS is that socializing isn’t possible for many, so why mention it here as a means for psychological well-being?

I recovered from long term Lyme Disease which became chronic fatigue/ME (the names are irrelevant really) about two years ago. I still have to be careful and manage myself differently to how I once did. Virtually everything you mention in the video resonates with with the steps I took to recover. I was helped enormously by attending an NHS rehab course for 12 weeks which introduced me to the vagus nerve and really opened my eyes to the damage I had caused, unwittingly, by living a high stress, high carb/high sugar, western lifestyle. I wish I knew then what I know now. Great video for anyone who thinks they might not be able to recover.

So much great information ! I am looking forward to buying the book “Cured.” It is released next year in Canada. I have started to implement many of these changes in my life. I am 30, I have had fibro and Hashimotos for 10 years, and chronic fatigue for 3. The change that started my healing is changing my perspective. Perfectionism and past trauma lived with me everyday. I have to check these things everyday. Today I feel strong. I am building up my strength and stamina through yoga and gardening. I have come to a place where I feel grateful for what these illnesses have taught me about life. I have learned that these illnesses are not some sort of punishment, that my mind does not need to be in torment forever because it is self inflected. Life is not black and white anymore, but it is colourful. My body was telling me I needed to change myself. To take care and nourish myself. To love myself. I am important. And no matter what happens, I am strong enough and brave enough to handle it.

Because I have chronic fatigue syndrome; all that I can do is Rest & Sleep, -that is all that this illness allows me to do, so could you explain how Rest & Sleep help chronic fatigue syndrome? That part doesn’t make any sense to me so far.

Love this so much Raelan. Such a great recap. Every change you mention resonates. And I especially love "seeing changes as an opportunity." ❤️

super helpful. i love how you condense useful information and present it so clearly. finding your channel marked the beginning of my new CFS recovery initiative, and in the last two months i've gone from feeling about 55% to around 80%. thank you Raelan

Definitely resonates with my quick recovery! I did a lot of lymph massage ("abhyanga", Ayurvedic massage), ate easy to digest kitchari (lentils, rice and spices), and realized the illness was the beginning of my transformation into something new and better! :D <3 Also reduced stress by removing toxic relationships from my life :)

Yep, these are the things I've narrowed it down to under my own steam. Getting away from toxic people is number 1 for me. The stress response has to be dealt with and the inflammation addressed early on. When I dealt with these, my healing has come along really well. Great video, I will get that book I think, thank you x

This kind of recovery is wonderful when you have that level of financial stability and support. My last 30 years have been an unpredictable roller coaster. Literally. Been back and forth from completely bedbound, unable to speak to working very physical jobs.

I understand that this video is trying to help. However, two major issues with CFS/ME are insomnia and not being supported by people who don't believe it to be a real illness. It's great to show stories of hope, but please consider how it can create a feeling of hopelessness when people don't have these things.
