I'm now giving consultations - see www.patrickussher.com

In this interview, I talk with Nick from New Zealand who had POTS for a period of 18 months before recovering using a brain rewiring program known as 'The Switch'. We cover the symptoms he experienced, the triggering trauma, and the recovery process that unfolded following retraining the primitive part of his brain that had been affected by the initial trauma. His standing heart rate at its highest when he had POTS was 150 and just before this interview it was 82! :)

Awesome interview! So glad that you are sharing stories of recovery--however the individual finds recovery! Just to know that recovery from POTS is possible is so important to share!
Thank you Shannon, so glad you enjoyed it! Yes that's the most important message to get out there - that there is a way out. My very best wishes to you and a certain, very brave and inspiring trooper! :)
What POTS Really Is Thank you!! Said trooper is definitely finding the way out! It's amazing to watch!
Grinning from ear to ear! That's so wonderful to hear!
Shannon Petrovic how are u??
Where did you go? Please keep up the awesome content!
Apologies to viewers for sound lag in the video! There was nothing that could be done about this - the connection between Ireland and New Zealand wasn't the best at time of doing the interview.
Thank you Pat and Nick!
Great to be inspired with a recovery story! Super happy that you both are feeling better! I have been experiencing pots close to 2 years. I have done DNRS and saw good improvement, but still in a bit of a Rollercoaster in the way of recovery. I keep on retraining and meditating and eating well. ! I hope to be able to do a recovery story at some point!
Patrick, are you still updating your book?
And also it would be great if you could find the link to Jacob's recovery video ( the one Nick referenced to) and put it right under the video, if possible....
Best wishes to everyone! 🍀
Hi Lisa! So great to hear from you after all this time. I'm glad that the DNRS has led to helpful improvements even if things are a 'rollercoaster' for now .
Great idea regarding having Jacob's story linked - I'll ask Nick for a link and pop it back here soon.
Regarding my book, no I am not currently updating it. The one or two changes I would make it I plan to cover in a TH-cam video before too long and then maybe in the future I will get to it. Next POTS book project will be of recovery case studies when enough of those are compiled. Have you looked into Buteyko breathing method, Lisa - it might be a helpful additional level of rewiring for you....very best, Patrick
What POTS Really Is.. I have been doing breathing work. It helps a bit. And what a great idea for a book! Recovery stories! The last compiled book of recovery stories that I recall..... Is Recovery stories from cfs by Alexandra Barton... Did you know that one of the "wiggles" had pots for a few years and recovered? Greg Page. Australia...
Also Eagles quarter back Nick Foles wife has pots, USA.. I'm not sure if she is recovered atm though.
Best wishes to you on this new book! I will definitely get a copy! Doesn't matter if it's out in 6mo or 6 years! 🍀
Hi again Lisa....yes that was a great book by Alexandra. Gave me hope back then. Hopefully we can do something similar for POTS. And I read the article about Tori Foles which certainly raised awareness around POTS in a high-profile way. Thanks for the good wishes for the book....whenever that may be!
Hi Lisa, here is a link to Jacob's story th-cam.com/video/rNlVOHbV7UI/w-d-xo.html
All the best for your recovery!
Nick Blythe.. Thank you very much!
Halfway through the video. No one is doing this! Brilliant! I currently suffer from hyperadrenergic POTS. I also have pain and skin problems, throat problems, rashes, weight loss, chronic ear infections, low white blood cell counts, sleeping issues. Recently neutropenia. I am vary sick every day. It seems impossible. I am doing DNRS to my ability with no results yet. These videos give me some hope. Before i got sick i worked in inpatient healthcare. I have sat in on a few thousand doctors appointments. I've seen and helped treat lots and lots of sick young people. I've never seen anyone at 23 get as sick as i got, for seemingly no reason. What we have is almost completely invisible with our current diagnostic techniques. I sought treatment for the last two years with the best doctors in the US. They just have no idea how to help. This illness is the first thing in my life that had a real chance to completely conquer me. knowing that I'm not alone is really helpful. Knowing that it may be possible to recover is a pretty big relief. Keep it up!
Thanks for the words of encouragement - for sure I will keep it up! Another one coming next week. Keep on rewiring and lifting the brain out of trauma - day by day it all adds up and in time the body will get stuck into healing the wide variety of symptoms. Rooting for you!
the fondcarpet how are you now ? I hope you’re doing better
Does your book tell us how to do the dnrs??
No. That would infringe their copyright - my book is a theory as to why the program might work for POTS.
Can you save me from this condition?
The Switch sounds like Phil Parker's Lightning Process.
Omg, I just looked up "The Switch" and the creator, Mel Abbot, recovered from years of CFS (I watched her recovery story last year) with Phil Parker's Lightning Process (empowertherapies on YT). I guess she took his method, maybe changed it a bit, and rebranded it "The Switch." Wow.
hi Patrick! I have recently started DNRS for POTS, was wondering whether you have an email address or social media account where we could chat. Thanks a lot! :)
Sorry for slow reply Angela. However, I'm afraid that due to time constraints I can't offer more than what is on my channel / in my book right now. Good luck with your recovery
How are you, Angela?
I've tried few brain training methods and I'm still sick 😭
I'm sorry to hear that David. Sometimes multilateral approaches and appropriate physical treatments are necessary. I recommend Dan Neuffer's book CFS Unravelled in this regard.
