Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sam January 21, 2010 3:12:44 AM EST (CA) Autonomic Imbalance (sympathetic dominant) with CFS Hi, Is there a protocol to help slowly rebalance the Autonomic Nervous system? Mine is sympathetic dominant and I want to learn how to create balance. I am working on the belief patterns that caused this issue. Thank You! Sam ======================================================================== Dear Sam, A Loving Atma Namaste. Thank you for your e-mail. Medical Background: The calcium/phosphorus ratio on a hair mineral analysis is an indicator of an individual's autonomic state. A calcium/phosphorus ratio less than 2.5 indicates a sympathetic state, while a ratio greater than 2.5:1 indicates a parasympathetic state. The autonomic state is important as it is closely related to the activity of the adrenal and thyroid glands. A physician who studied the calcium/phosphorus ratio extensively was Melvin Page, DDS. (Page, M., Degeneration - Regeneration, Nutritional Development, St. Petersburg, FL 1949, 1980.) The state of the autonomic nervous system is not the same as another important concept, sympathetic or parasympathetic dominance. These are separate ideas. A third concept is important. This is whether a person is autonomic dominant or oxidation dominant. Sympathetic And Parasympathetic The sympathetic nervous system is also called the fight-or-flight system. It activates the brain and the muscles and is the " speed-up " system. It causes expenditure of energy and is catabolic. The parasympathetic system is conserving, nurturing, nourishing and restful. It activates the digestive organs. It is anabolic and regenerates the body. The body balances these two systems and the minerals associated with them. Animals are quite good at this. Healthy cats or dogs run fast and fight hard, but are equally comfortable spending the afternoon sleeping. Humans, however, have more difficulty balancing the autonomic system. Many people compulsively fight or run all the time. Others are in a give-up mode where they will no longer fight for anything. They are often depressed and feel like victims. Causes of autonomic imbalance include chemical imbalances one is born with, poor diet, use of stimulants, negative thinking, structural imbalances, physical or emotional traumas and exposure to toxic metals and chemicals that affect the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Phosphorus Phosphorus is fiery and explosive. Phosphorus must be stored under water. Exposed to the air, it spontaneously catches fire. TNT contains phosphorus. Phosphors make televisions and computer monitors light up. Phosphorus is the key element in ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the high energy molecule that provides energy for our bodies. Dr. Paul Eck found that either high or low phosphorus on a hair analysis indicates impaired protein synthesis. All proteins contain phosphorus. A high hair phosphorus, especially in relation to calcium, is an indicator of a sympathetic state. This is catabolic, associated with excessive protein breakdown. In an exhaustion stage of stress, the body becomes parasympathetic because the sympathetic system is depleted. Digestion, absorption and utilization of protein are impaired due to zinc deficiency, copper toxicity, improper gut flora and other problems. This produces a low hair phosphorus, especially in relation to calcium. This is more serious than a high hair phosphorus. Calcium Calcium is cold, hard and static. It is the key ingredient in concrete. Calcium gives rigidity to our bones and teeth. Where phosphorus is energy in motion, calcium is structure. Dr. Hans Selye, founder of the stress theory of disease, discovered that sympathetic nervous activation lowers tissue calcium and magnesium levels. This puts the body is a hyper alert state, increases blood pressure by constricting the arteries and enhances nervous system irritability. This prepares the body for fighting or running. The opposite occurs in the exhaustion stage of stress. The sympathetic system is depleted. Thyroid and adrenal activity diminish and tissue calcium begins to rise. It can become very elevated in a hair sample, indicating a parasympathetic state. The ideal hair calcium level is 40 mg%. The ideal ratio of hair calcium to phosphorus is therefore 2.5:1. Hair samples must not be washed at the laboratory to obtain accurate readings. Autonomic Dominance Autonomic dominance refers to which branch of the autonomic system one uses most of the time. Almost everyone is sympathetic dominant. When it is mild, one is forward looking, optimistic, active and energetic. Symptoms of excessive sympathetic dominance include compulsiveness, running around excessively, overworking, excessive thinking, fearfulness, anxiety, worry or anger. One may talk, think and work fast. One does not spend enough time in a parasympathetic state to rebuild the body, so it eventually becomes depleted of nutrients or " burns out " . A hair sodium/potassium ratio greater than about 4 indicates sympathetic dominance. Greater than 8 is extreme. Today even young children are burned out due to stress and poor diets. Healthy parasympathetic dominant individuals are rare. They love to relax, do not react to stress and may rest all day, not because they are tired but because they are content. They live in the present moment and are at peace within. A healthy parasympathetic dominant loves eating, has a great appetite and great digestion because the parasympathetic system activates digestion. They are rare due to the stress of modern living. Also, toxic metals and chemicals in the food, air and water disturb the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Much more common is emotionally caused unhealthy parasympathetic dominance. These people have given up on life and will not fight for anything. They may advocate peace, but they are not at peace. They may sit around or they may be active, but are in a give up mode. Their hair analysis will reveal a high calcium/phosphorus ratio, slow oxidation, a sodium/potassium ratio less than about 1.5 or perhaps a four-low-electrolyte pattern (calcium less than 40, magnesium less than 6, sodium less than 25 and potassium less than 10). One's autonomic dominance and autonomic state may be different. Many patients are sympathetic dominant, but the body is in a parasympathetic state. This is called a burned out sympathetic dominant. It is indicated on a hair analysis by a calcium/phosphorus ratio greater than 2.5 (parasympathetic state) and a sodium/potassium ratio greater than 4 (sympathetic dominance). It is a common slow oxidizer pattern. Autonomic Or Oxidation Dominance In some people, an autonomic imbalance is most important. In others, an oxidation rate imbalance is most important. Dominance of an autonomic imbalance can be due to toxic metals in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland that affect the hormone output of the major glands. Another common cause of autonomic dominance are neuroses - fears, worries, resentments, prejudices or mental rigidity. Such people are always fighting or flighting or may go into a give-up state. Those with dominance of an oxidation rate imbalance have fewer emotional issues and less toxic metals in the pituitary. Instead, they have toxic metals or nutrient deficiencies primarily affecting nutrient transport, metabolism and cellular respiration in the mitochondria. Thus the body's ability to oxidize or burn food is most affected. While important, the distinction can become vague. For example, impaired cell permeability due to chemical imbalances may cause the body to over secrete thyroid or adrenal hormones to compensate. This in turn upsets the autonomic nervous system. Continued for years, it may give rise to a personality disorder. Separating out all these factors can be difficult.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFS) is a condition characterized by a disabling fatigue that occurs mainly among adults aged 20 to 40 years. Twice as many women as men develop CFS. The cause is uncertain but an infectious explanation is thought probable. People diagnosed with CFS often describe its onset as sudden but not terribly worrisome because many of the symptoms - headache, tender lymph nodes, sore throat, headache, fatigue and weakness, sleep disorders, muscle and joint aches, inability to concentrate - mimic those of the flu. Although flu symptoms usually go away in a few weeks, CFS symptoms either persist or recur frequently for more that 6 months, and people with CFS feel increasingly drained. There appears to be an overlap between CFS and neurally mediated hypotension, a form of low blood pressure. Neurally mediated hypotension results when the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, which controls blood rate and blood pressure, misinterprets the body's needs during upright posture and sends a message to the heart to slow down and lower blood pressure. This low blood pressure results in fatigue. Diagnosis of CFS: Diagnosing and treating CFS is difficult because many other diseases share its symptoms. Diagnosis becomes, in effect, a process of elimination. Different explanations including anemia (iron-poor blood), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), environmental allergy, or candidiasis (a body-wide yeast infection) have been submitted as explanations for the disorder. Prognosis: No single therapy has proven effective for CFS. Pranic Self Healing: 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. Do deep abdominal Pranic Breathing (PB) for 5 minutes before start of treatment. 3. After 5 minutes of Pranic Breathing, continue PB and apply advanced general sweeping with LWG twice. 4. Do localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and the liver. Energize the solar plexus with LWB, LWG then LWO. Apply more localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and the liver. OR if you are a more experienced advanced Pranic Healer, apply localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and liver alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the solar plexus with LWG then LWO. Apply more localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and the liver. If the solar plexus is over activated, inhibit it with LB. 5. Do localized thorough sweeping on the front and back heart chakra. Energize through the back heart chakra with LEV or EV. Simultaneously visualize the heart chakra becoming bigger and brighter. 6. Do localized thorough sweeping on the entire head, the brain, the pineal and pituitary glands, the crown chakra, ajna chakra, forehead chakra, back head minor chakra and the base of the head minor chakra alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Energize the chakras with LEV or EV. While energizing the ajna chakra, gently but firmly instruct the ajna to normalize and to harmonize the other major chakras and organs. 7. Do localized thorough sweeping on the thyroid and parathyroid glands, throat chakra and the secondary throat chakra alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Energize the chakras with LWG, then with more of ordinary LWV. 8. Do localized thorough sweeping on the front, sides and back of the lungs. Energize thoroughly through the back of the lungs with LWG, LWO then LWR. This may take several minutes. Point your fingers away from your head when energizing with O. 9. Do localized thorough sweeping on the spine and the sides of the spine alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. 10. Do localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize with LWR or W. If you have fever or venereal disease, do not energize the basic chakra. 11. Do localized thorough sweeping on the arms, legs, and on their minor chakras. Energize them with ordinary LWV. Do not apply this step more than once a day. 12. Do localized thorough sweeping on the front and back spleen chakra. Energize with W. This has to be done with caution. 13. Do localized thorough sweeping on the meng mein chakra. 14. Do localized thorough sweeping on the kidneys and the adrenal glands. Energize the kidneys with W. This has to be done with caution. If the patient experiences adverse reaction or pain, immediately apply localized thorough sweeping on the spine and the affected area until the pain is relieved. 15. Do localized thorough sweeping on the navel chakra and the lower abdominal area. Energize the navel with LWG, LWB then ordinary LWV or gold. 16. Stabilize and release projected healing energy. 17. Play the Meditation on Twin Hearts CD and follow the guided meditation. 18. Repeat treatment 3 times per week. Maintenance treatment:: 19. Practice the Meditation on Twin Hearts daily, preferably with a group when possible. Alternate the MTH with self healing and MTH for psychological well-being. 20. Do deep abdominal Pranic Breathing for 5 minutes per session, several sessions per day. 21. Do regular low impact aerobic physical exercises for 15 minutes to one hour per session. 22. Bathe in water with salt and about 20 drops of lavender essential oil daily before Pranic Healing and MTH. 23. Eat healthy nutritionally balanced fresh food diet with proper amounts of fresh water daily. Avoid caffeine and food with artificial additives, colorants and preservatives. 24. Avoid unnecessary stress, negative thoughts, negative emotions, negative activities and negative environment.
