Feeling lightheaded may affect your daily life so much it can be hard to work, drive, or function. Dizziness may also feel like a head rush, a sudden headache, a sensation of weak legs about to give way, or anxiety. Lightheadedness is often triggered when standing up quickly (called orthostatic hypotension) or when sitting or standing still.
Dizziness makes you prone to falls and injury, ruins daily enjoyment of life and productivity, makes it hard to leave your house, and puts a barrier between you and others. Being dizzy or lightheaded affects other areas of your health and is often accompanied by the additional Autonomic symptoms of nausea, headaches, fatigue, neck stiffness, heartburn, indigestion, abdominal cramping, or frequent urination.
Have you tried traditional medicine or natural remedies but run out of options to improve your health or Autonomic Dysfunction symptoms? Is your health getting worse, or been told there is nothing else that can help you, and you do not know what to do?
Are you naturally minded, looking for relief from the symptoms of Autonomic Dysfunction (heartburn, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, chronic hunger, poor sleep)? Do you dislike or distrust pharmaceuticals and doctors but natural remedies are not fully healing your body or mind?
Do you have multiple symptoms or medicines, but no real answer to resolve your underlying health problems? Are you confused or frustrated because no one can make sense of your symptoms and the decline in your health?
Repairs and stabilizes Autonomic functioning by recreating the healthy environment that is mandatory for the brain to make stem cells and repair itself.
Reverses Autonomic Dysfunction by treating intestinal bacterial overgrowths or underlying infections, with simultaneous core changes in nutrition.
Restores proper microglia function (white blood cells) and restores the brain’s control over inflammation with bioelectric transcutaneous stimulation of the Autonomic Vagus nerve.
Provides long term structure for maintaining renewed health, continued cellular and organ repair, decreased overnutrition, and the ability to recover from new Autonomic injuries.
The Nemechek Protocol® medical consultation and treatment services are a top-down approach to restore the body to equilibrium, ending symptoms, reversing illnesses, and optimizing health. It applies to all ages and disease types by supporting the bodies’ ability to control inflammation, produce stem cells, and strengthen the neurological system and immune system which are the cornerstones to healing and maintaining health.
Sophisticated Autonomic testing reveals silent nervous system damage. The Nemechek Protocol® medical consultation and treatment services reverse damage and restore Autonomic function. After Autonomic repair, the protocol maintenance phase involve advanced regimens for the cellular repair of neuronal damage, repair of organs, and weight reduction. The Nemechek Protocol® is the blueprint for improved health for the rest of your life.
Science has given us a new understanding of feeling dizzy or lightheaded, the causes are found in the dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System’s two branches. Improving Autonomic function is a new way to restore the brain’s natural ability to maintain cerebral blood oxygen levels which eliminates the symptoms.
The Nemechek Protocol® medical consultation and treatment service is a groundbreaking science-based medical approach to restore Autonomic function. Restoring the balance of key omega fatty acids satisfies the brain’s nutritional demands, and encourages stem cell production in our brain’s natural chemical environment.
The field of Autonomics is science-based and evidence driven. It seeks the underlying cellular reasons why our brains and bodies no longer work correctly. By applying new scientific discoveries, I am able to merge traditional medicine with scientifically studied processes to heal both manmade and naturally triggered problems. Autonomic treatment works and is effective because once you understand the underlying dysfunction, you can use the science to guide the medicine and the bodies’ natural repair needs. Autonomics involve natural, mechanical, and chemical systems capable of repair at all ages and stages of life.
The first step is to identify Autonomic dysfunction through Autonomic spectral analysis, a non-invasive test that is a biomarker for your brain’s ability to control the body and quantifies the imbalance and tone of both the Sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and Parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) brain commands. Imbedded in those signals are the Autonomics that malfunction after injury, trauma, illness, medicines, vaccines, or childbirth. The second step to pinpoint Autonomic Dysfunction is to determine whether an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria called SIBO is creating secondary Autonomic problems such as intestinal distress (gluten or food intolerance), preventing concussion recovery, triggering skin problems (eczema, rosacea), causing periodontal gum disease, recurrent UTI or strep infections, Autism (propionic acid toxicity), or psychiatric symptoms (anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, depression). The third step is to implement The Nemechek Protocol’s short and long-term treatment plan for recovery, maintenance, and advanced care. For most adults, the treatment involves short term medications, the lowering of metabolic inflammation, the lowering of and neuroinflammation including bioelectric stimulation (via the Vagus nerve), the elimination of underlying bacterial infections or unresolved concussion damage, core brain nutrients to mimic the historical foods that kept our brains and nervous systems strong, and chemically cleaner food to maintain recovery and resist relapse or recover from new Autonomic injuries.
Autonomic Dysfunction may be accelerated in Diabetes up to two decades earlier than people that same age who do not have Diabetes.
Parasympathetic Autonomic Dysfunction Dysregulation of normal inflammation control = Autonomic Dysfunction
