Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/symptoms-causes/syc-20356007 says:
“Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn’t worth living. More than just a bout of the blues, depression isn’t a weakness and you can’t simply “snap out” of it….”

These past weeks, while my nervous system is learning from Neuro Integration System (N.I.S.) treatments and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) treatments from Dr. Jae Reed, D.C. and is continuing to learn from Chi Nei Tsang treatments from Stephanie Wilger, NC … watching / listening to these two British TV series written by Bob Larbey have given me much joy.

While on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094452/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm looking up writing credits for British TV series DOUBLE FIRST 1988 (Michael Williams as N.V. Standish) . . . a trailer of the movie EDUCATING RITA appeared.
Esmonde & Bob Larbey wrote DOUBLE FIRST
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Willy Russell wrote the stage play and screenplay EDUCATING RITA
(the movie – starring Michael Caine as Dr. Frank Bryant and Julie Walters as Rita/Susan; Michael Williams as Brian).
The name “Rita” carries precious symbolism for me and my sister.
“Educating Rita” – what better inspiration for me as I am being educated on what clear communication is between Brain and Body. Neuro Integration System (N.I.S.) treatments and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Chi Nei Tsang treatments remove obstacles and let my Body repair itself the best way possible - naturally.

Hello Everyone,
I wish you vibrant health!
Thanks to Everyone Who Cares About me, Healers, Books, Our Immune System, Our Beautiful Ever-Changing Brain, Our Internal Organs, Our Body and Vitality!
In August 2020 (which was five months into “Shelter In Place” in the county I lived in during the COVID pandemic), Shingles virus “woke up” in my body …oh the pain and the rash on one side of upper torso. Then after the blisters cleared, the hot pain stayed. This condition is called “postherpetic neuralgia”.
Luckily for me, through neuroplasticity coaching from Dr. Danielle Rosenman,
books by Norman Doidge, M.D.,
lectures by Professor Lorimer Moseley about the “role of pain” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc
and the workbook TRANSFORMING THE BRAIN IN PAIN: NEUROPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION by Dr. Michael H. Moskowitz and Dr. Marla D. Golden,
and, moral support from dear folks who care about me …
I was successful retraining my Brain to stop sending chronic pain signals to Body Tissue.
However the pain sensation morphed into a sticky damp heat sensation.
These symptoms then awakened another virus in my nervous system. Also, COVID-Vaccination worsened my condition.
My internal thermostat is stuck at an uncomfortable down right yucky setting. My immune system had needed to use heat when Shingles virus got activated; however, my system is still in “fight” mode three years later.
Illness leads to depression … a nasty loop.
This is what happens when our systems are “too aggressive” trying to protect us.
By the way – Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near the spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles. https://www.mayoclinic.org/
The “memories” of viruses (keloid scars from Shingles rash a “convincing” reminder)… telling my systems to continue fighting. Body doesn’t forget anything!
Brain-Body worn out from fighting.
Fast forward…
Through receiving Neuro Integration System (N.I.S.) treatments and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) treatments from a master-level practitioner who is a chiropractor – Dr. Jae Reed, D.C … my Body-Brain circuitry is learning how to reset and restore systems to harmony.
Through receiving Chi Nei Tsang treatments from a master-level practitioner – Stephanie Wilger, NC … my Body is sending direct communication to Brain.
Clear communication between Brain and Body REMOVES the obstacles, letting the Body repair itself the best way possible - naturally.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Chi Nei Tsang translates as “internal organs chi transformation”.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Thanks to the encouragement from the folks I care about and who care about me, I resume my work as a writer and story-consult and blogger, go to treatments, re-read books to learn about how hard the human body works, and, I turn depression into appreciating one moment at a time.
My Quest to Wellness by learning from Holistic Healers on how to receive and send instructions for what I call “Brain-Body peace talks”.

Thank you, dear Sue, for gifting me the book
Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive
by Philipp Dettmer, creator of the popular science YouTube channel “Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell”
https://www.youtube.com/@kurzgesagt/videos
Page 62 of the book IMMUNE: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive by Philipp Dettmer
“Inflammation is the universal response of your immune system to any sort of breach or damage or insult. No matter if you burn yourself, cut yourself, or get a bruise. No matter if bacteria or viruses infect your nose, lungs, or gut. No matter if a young tumor kills a few civilian cells by stealing their nutrients or you have an allergic reaction to a food, inflammation is the response. Damage or danger – PERCEIVED OR REAL – causes inflammation.”
Book description from the publisher:
“You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You’re mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door.
“But most of us never really stop to ask: What even is our immune system?
“Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In IMMUNE, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you’ve been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.
“Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body’s defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.
“Enlivened by engaging full-color graphics and immersive descriptions, IMMUNE turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects — immunology — into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. IMMUNE is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.”

2023 January 9, 20:40 California – Teresa Jade LeYung’s blog post #619
Dear Reader,
Today I responded to a post from a fellow-member of Women’s Brain Exchange network. Her subject line was: “Recommendations for Parkinson’s”
I wish to share my response through this blog post.
I cheer for all brave folks who are coping with disease and illness and all the compassionate advocates!
I was an advocate for my father – he thrived in spite of Parkinson’s.
Information is powerful! What I had learned as an advocate enriched my own life and also everyone else’s in Papa’s community.
Be ahead of the game – know that Parkinson’s is a movement disorder… thus, find (not just a general neurologist) but a neurologist whose patient base is mainly movement disorder patients and who does not rely on “old” techniques.
Same for physical therapists – folks who aren’t trained in movement disorders caused heartaches for Papa. The right folks taught my father ways to “refresh” the brain.
RESOURCES:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
When one is not feeling well… learning new ways to improve one’s health can be overwhelming. I wish everyone compassionate advocates to help make the journey a gentler one.

THIS WEEK, THE TOPIC OF THIS ARTICLE GRABBED MY ATTENTION –
“COVID Raises Risk of Long-Term Brain Injury, Large U.S. Study Finds”
Sept. 22, 2022 By Julie Steenhuysen
CHICAGO (Reuters) – People who had COVID-19 are at higher risk for a host of brain injuries a year later compared with people who were never infected by the coronavirus, a finding that could affect millions of Americans, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
The year-long study, published in Nature Medicine, assessed brain health across 44 different disorders using medical records without patient identifiers from millions of U.S. veterans.
Brain and other neurological disorders occurred in 7% more of those who had been infected with COVID compared with a similar group of veterans who had never been infected. That translates into roughly 6.6 million Americans who had brain impairments linked with their COVID infections, the team said.
[....]
Compared with the control groups, people infected with COVID had a 77% higher risk of developing memory problems.
People infected with the virus also were 50% more likely to have an ischemic stroke, which is caused by blood clots, compared with the never infected group.
Those who had COVID were 80% more likely to have seizures, 43% more likely to have mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, 35% more likely to have headaches and 42% more likely to suffer movement disorders, such as tremors, compared with the control groups.

OUR BEAUTIFUL BRAINS
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Danielle Rosenman, M.D. says:
“The brain changes itself constantly throughout our entire lives. All of our experience changes the brain.
“Everything that we experience, think, feel, believe, and learn changes the physical structure of the brain, the chemicals in the brain, and electricity in the brain.
“This ability of the brain to change is called neuroplasticity.
“Neuroplasticity lets us learn through our entire lives. The more often we repeat a task, the better we learn it. Repetition helps us learn things like reading, adding numbers, or playing a musical instrument. We often call this type of learning ‘practice’.”
During neuroplasticity coaching, Dr. Danielle Rosenman instructs: “Smile for yourself and talk out loud to your brain. When you learn to talk to your brain, you are opening up a new life.”
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Professor Lorimer Moseley says:
“The mechanisms that cause us to change in a good way can also cause us to change in a way that makes our lives more difficult and more unpleasant…. Our brain produces pain. Pain is our most sophisticated protective device. Your systems learn how to make pain….”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
On page 4 of workbook TRANSFORMING THE BRAIN IN PAIN: NEUROPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION,
Dr. Michael H. Moskowitz and Dr. Marla D. Golden enlighten:
“Without your brain, there is no pain. Your brain doesn’t just receive information from your body, but sends directions back out to tell your body what to do.
“Your brain ‘reads’ everything going on in your body 30 times a second for your entire life.
“The adult brain changes throughout our lives based upon the information it receives from our bodies.
“We only experience pain when the electrical signals reach the thinking part of our brains.”
“This is why during surgery, when general anesthesia shuts down the thinking part of the brain, the person doesn’t feel pain.”
And… Dr. Moskowitz and Dr. Golden say: “The more sensation each part of your body has, the bigger the image of that body part in your brain (page 4 of workbook) … Shrink the pain map by flooding the brain using:
…thoughts, images, senses, memories, soothing emotions, movement, beliefs.” (page 13 of their workbook)

Another book that inspires me to conduct research, collect my data before seeing a doctor, prepare my questions, and trust my intuition –
Victoria Sweet, M.D.’s book SLOW MEDICINE The Way to Healing
https://www.victoriasweet.com/ Over the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician, “healthcare” has replaced medicine, “providers” look at their laptops more than at their patients, and costs keep soaring, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency.
Victoria Sweet, M.D. is the award-winning author of God’s Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine.

Stephanie Wilger, NC of HEALTH HAPPENS, LLC says:
“As an internal organ and reproductive organ specialist, I feel the way your internal organs, tissues, fluids, energy, bones are responding, and gently assist to coordinate them for better communication and function. You relax and let go of tensions, stored emotions, becoming more vibrant, more yourself. Adhesions and scar tissue: from C-sections, surgery, accidents, are also released for more energy flow and movement.” https://stephaniewilgernc.net/

Master practitioner and master teacher Gilles Marin says:
“TaoTouch is the art to help people heal, get rid of pain, and bring back vibrant health by reconciling self, soul and spirit while triggering emotional processing. This is done through a traditional Taoist monastic healing practice called Chi Nei Tsang, which works with deep and gentle abdominal touch to enhance health and vitality to the internal organs.”
