– Dr. Carolyn McMakin discusses the centrality and far-reaching effects of the vagus nerve in the body, emphasizing its profound impact on health and the potential for treatment using Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM).
– The webinar explains how the vagus nerve connects the body to the brain, regulates multiple bodily functions (heart rate, digestion, immune response), and plays a crucial role in systemic health and disease management.
– Understanding central sensitization is essential as early life trauma, stress, infections, and physical injuries can lower the firing threshold of midbrain stress centers, resulting in chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases and chronic pain.
– FSM can be used to modulate the vagus nerve and treat various conditions, including depression, Alzheimer’s, seizures, autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal disorders like SIBO and gastroparesis, and chronic pain syndromes such as CRPS.
– Detailed insights are provided into vagus nerve anatomy and its innervation pathways, explaining how its fibers interact with multiple organs and systems, highlighting therapeutic targets for FSM.
– Specific FSM protocols are shared for quieting the midbrain and Medulla, increasing secretions and vitality in the vagus nerve, and combined concussion and vagal tone treatment to manage stress and trauma impacts.
– Case studies and practical treatment strategies, including the treatment of complex conditions like gastroparesis and CRPS, emphasize the importance and effectiveness of treating the vagus nerve using FSM for long-term improvement of chronic conditions.
