Title : Exploring the psychophysical phenomena; Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and introducing novel approaches for effective Neurophysics treatment for these physical and mental health compromising conditions
Abstract:
There is an ever-increasing number of people around the world who reportedly suffer from one or more of the psychophysical conditions Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME), Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). In the USA there are presently more than 5 million suffers of Fibromyalgia and in the Netherlands, there are more than 400,000. 80 to 90% of suffers are women. People suffering from the said psychophysical conditions commonly complain of other concerning debilitating conditions. For example, of the 400,000 Dutch people suffer from fibromyalgia, 70% suffer from sleep problems, 50% have difficulties with walking and social activities, and 55% suffer from depression. The present global medical consensus states that the cause of these conditions is unknown, but risk factors include traumatic injury, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, and genetic factors. There is no cure, but medications, exercise, acupuncture, and behavioural therapy can help relieve symptoms and improve sleep quality.
NeuroPhysics Therapy (NPT) has proven to be a highly effective self-initiated treatment for the said psychophysical conditions. This presentation reviews various patient outcomes and delves into the novel approaches and rationale employed, and describing the new lens used to view these conditions through. The general understanding is that ‘the human’ complex adaptive system can be extremely sensitive to initial conditions. Through the development of specialized techniques that perturb to expose rogue sensitivities to initial conditions in a controlled environment and the underlying philosophy of NPT being to treat the person not the disorder, the patient is able to learn new control skills over how their systems are perceiving and responding to their environments. This is a top-down bottom up, perception, action, cognition approach that goes beyond simply assisting to manage the symptoms associated with these conditions but to enable patients to move on and live a symptom free life that they have control and authority over.
