Grabbing QNRT by the Balls

10/8/2022

I stopped taking the slow road with QNRT. 

If you don't know what QNRT is, click here. 
Up until now, I've taken the gentle approach to QNRT. That means, I let my body decide each time what it wanted to retrain. Often with this approach, you can avoid the negative side effects that can crop up with brain retraining. These could be things like uncomfortable emotions bubbling up, headaches, fatigue, etc. 

And, then, I reached a point over the summer where I didn't feel like playing it safe anymore. I have some huge health hurdles and I wanted to speed up the process by targeting these big issues. So, I decided, fuck it, let's grab QNRT by the low hangers.

​My first target, the most uncomfortable health issue I've ever experienced.

Fucking vertigo.

I experience different types of vertigo and dizziness. Sometimes it's my blood sugar, sometimes my vagus nerve. Sometimes it's my inner ear canals (Meniere's) and other times it's hormones or my blood pressure or a food sensitivity (gluten is the worst culprit). I'm sure there are more and I'm not looking to discover them. This one lately is a weird one. I think it's from changes in the weather. My would ears turn red and burn. Then, I would feel a sourness in my stomach and my ears would start to pop. And, then the world would sway and spin around me.

I think I'm about as comfortable as one can get with vertigo. I've had it for over 10 years now but it's still the single most horrible experience, every time. You learn to breath and tell yourself "nothing lasts forever". When vertigo was first hitting me in my early 30's was the first time I truly embraced death. Can you spin if you don't have a body? 

​Some patterns of brain dysfunction are from trauma we've personally experienced and some of it is trans-generational. Meaning, our parents, grandparents, etc handed down this dysfunction. This form of vertigo was gifted to me by my mom's mom, I call her Poon. She's less of a grandma and more of an annoying abusive narcissistic asshole that actively works to create chaos and pain in our family for her own personal enjoyment. Much like my sister, they are cut from the same cloth.

The day following the retraining was my birthday and I spent almost the entire day trying to stave of an aggressive migraine. Unfortunately, this is how things can go when you rush QNRT. Although I had wanted to target my chemical sensitivity next, I shelved it. These fucking migraines had to stop. 

As of writing this, I am 5 weeks vertigo-free. I've had the burning ears and sour belly since but no vertigo manifested.

Maybe I'm Not "Sensitive", Maybe it's MCAS?

"You're so sensitive."

If only I had a dollar for every time I've heard that. 

​I've been confused my whole life how other people could: 
  • Drink alcohol
  • Eat anything they want
  • Maintain friendships
  • Concentrate
  • Travel
  • Smoke
  • Wear perfume
  • Do a lot of activities
  • Function without sleep (pull all-nighters)
  • Have fun and function in loud environments (bars and restaurants)
  • Talk endlessly​ and easily
  • Not have constant bloat and gut pain
  • Feel rested after they sleep
  • Remember things
  • and so on

Everything hurts.

And, every year it gets worse. No matter what I try. Nothing helps. In fact, most things seem to make everything worse. And, I've tried A LOT. 

What the hell is going on?

I've been asking myself that question for decades. Yes, decades. 

I've been sick my whole life.

My Seventh Mitosis on The Bean Protocol

Wa wa wee wa!

Welcome to my 7th mitosis on The Bean Protocol! I've been on The Bean Protocol for 630 days! That's a whole lot of beans!
If you're new, start at the beginning:
Newbies Start Here

As usual, there's so much to share.

I naively thought that these blog posts would get shorter and shorter as time went on and I healed but no, it's the opposite. These posts have become so long-form now that I'm personally shocked by it and I'm the one writing them. It's led me back to researching about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) because it seems that when nothing fully helps, it might be MCAS. It's something I came across years ago and matched a lot of the symptoms but seeing a doctor for it is crazy expensive ($4,000 for the first 2 appointments NOT counting labs and you need a lot of labs done, oh and they don't accept insurance, doesn't matter because I can't afford insurance now anyway 🤣). I'm saving the MCAS stuff for when I write about the next mitosis because this post is already way too long. So, look for it in the 8th mitosis, a few months from now. On with the post!

First, a little TMI about BMs...

I've been battling constipation since Hashimoto's first hit me in 2014. No diet ever helped except for Carnivore and the Bean Protocol. I moved back to the US and even though I'm still beaning, everything slowed down again down there. Besides the occasional *ahem* breakthrough, I was still struggling. QNRT helped some and I started to be able to go once a day again but only a tiny little turd. Not good enough. Then, at my mom's suggestion, I started taking her digestive enzymes. And, thank you 6 pound 8 oz little baby Jesus, regular poos returned.

Moral of the story, if you can't poop, consider digestive enzymes.

QNRT, 3 More Sessions

Read about my first 3 sessions here

QNRT, how I love thee. 

Before I describe my next few sessions, I want to talk about how I've felt since the first 3 sessions of QNRT:

Better.

I've felt so much better!

My sessions tend to always go back to my gut issues and my limbic system being dysregulated. These two issues have wreaked havoc on my life. Since having QNRT done, my digestion has improved a ton and I'm calmer all the time. I've been in a few situations since, where I've actually caught myself waiting for my limbic system to dysregulate and it hasn't. Didn't stir at all. I continue to have ZERO anxiety at night after the first QNRT session. My digestion has been better. I'm not painfully bloated every second of every day. My skin has cleared up a great deal. This stuff is magic. It's brilliant. I'm hooked.

Wanting to learn more, I jumped on instagram looking for QNRT accounts to follow to see how others are feeling and learn more about the science behind it. And, there's almost NOTHING. Sadly, it turns out that the guy who created it sends out cease and desists like they're party flyers to anyone he thinks might be giving away his proprietary information. It's sad that he holds back his own creation from spreading into the world and helping so many people. I can't imagine the work that went into creating this process. The inventor deserves to be rewarded for that. But, I believe in abundance and that he would make even more money if he allowed information to get out there about his incredible creation. But, what can you do? What a sad world. Money and greed kill progress and healing again. Lame.
