Dr. Paul’s Conviction Regarding Vagus Nerve Stimulation
“I’m Grateful for God Showing Me Profound Ways to Help My Patients”
Being in practice for almost 30 years now, I have been praying for Health solutions that are affordable that produce the most profound results. I believe this Vagus Nerve technology is one such treatment. It’s easy to do, efficient and covers a whole host of issues producing Results on your Body.
You can do these Vagus Nerve Stretches without a machine for Free but its more Efficient with the Handheld stimulator.
Potential benefits:
Purpose: The vagus nerve is a crucial part of the autonomic nervous system that plays a role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and stress response. Stimulating the vagus nerve can have a calming and relaxing effect on the body and mind.
Here are some vagus nerve exercises that are commonly recommended:
Deep Breathing: Slow, diaphragmatic breathing is one of the simplest ways to stimulate the vagus nerve. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to rise, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Aim for a 5-7 second inhalation and a 5-7 second exhalation. Repeat this for a few minutes.
Humming: Humming can stimulate the vagus nerve because it involves the muscles in the back of your throat that are connected to the vagus nerve. Simply hum a tune or the sound "Om" for a few minutes.
Gargling: Gargling with warm saltwater or plain water can activate the vagus nerve. Gargle for about 30 seconds to a minute several times a day.
Singing and Chanting: Singing, especially deep and resonant singing, can engage the vagus nerve. Chanting or singing in a group can also be socially and emotionally beneficial. I love Singing to God, for He is Amazing!
Cold Exposure: Exposure to cold, such as splashing your face with cold water or taking a cold shower, can activate the vagus nerve's response to stress. Start with a brief exposure and gradually increase the duration if you're not accustomed to cold therapy.
Laughter: Laughter is a natural way to stimulate the vagus nerve. Watch a funny video, read jokes, or engage in activities that make you laugh.
Quiet Times: God knows how we get easily distracted. I like Me time with God. He is my Source of Ultimate love, peace and healing. Including Him in all our activities is His desire because He Loves to hang out with You and me. Why not get His Boundless Love, and His unlimited knowledge, understanding, wisdom & counsel (Is 11:2)? He thinks about you and me all the time and His thoughts of you are Greater than the sands of the sea! (Ps 139). When you Seek Him as Your Primary source of Connection and Intimacy, He’ll take care of all your needs! (Mt 6:33)
Intermittent Fasting: Some research suggests that intermittent fasting can enhance vagal tone. However, if you are considering fasting, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
Probiotics: Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome through probiotics may indirectly affect vagal tone because there is a strong connection between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve.
It's important to note that while these exercises may help stimulate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation, they should not replace medical treatment or advice for specific medical conditions. If you have a medical condition or concerns about your health, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting vagus nerve exercises or any new wellness practices.

Conditions that Vagus Nerve Treatment Help:
INFLAMMATION & PAIN
1) Modulation of the Anti-Inflammatory Response
2) Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Chronic Inflammation
Abstract:
The parasympathetic system, and primarily the vagus nerve, informs the brain about multiple signals and returns the body to homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that vagal nerve activity independently predicts prognosis in cancer. Here, we take this one step further and show that when vagal nerve activity is high, cancer stage no longer predicts tumor burden. We examined whether vagal nerve activity, indexed by Heart Rate Variability (HRV) (We can measure this at my office, moderated the effects of initial tumor stage on tumor burden at followup. Patients' HRVs were derived from ECGs near diagnosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) and in prostate cancer (PC) patients. Outcomes included the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) at 12 months for CRC and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 6 months for PC. As would be expected, initially advanced tumor stages of CRC or PC predicted higher tumor marker levels at follow-up than did early stages. However, this occurred only in patients with low, not high, vagal activity (HRV). Furthermore, in patients with advanced tumor stage at diagnosis, high HRV predicted lower tumor marker levels than did low HRV, in both cancers. Estimating a cancer patient's prognosis by determining his tumor stage needs to also consider the vagal nerve activity. This activity is easily measurable, and it determines in which subjects the tumor stage is prognostic. Importantly, higher vagal activity may even protect against the adverse effects of advanced cancer stage. These findings, observed in two distinct cancers, support the hypothesized neuroimmunomodulatory effects of vagal nerve activity on tumors.

Neuroendocrine-immune axis to maintain homeostasis
approved therapy for refractory epilepsy and for treatment resistant depression.
The relationship between depression, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease might be mediated by the Vagus nerve.
VNS deserves further study for its potentially favorable effects on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, metabolic, and other physiological biomarkers associated with depression morbidity and mortality.
PTSD:Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
“At their most basic, the findings help explain a prior decade of data on how stimulating the vagus nerve (either of the 10th pair of cranial nerves) improves memory processing of recently acquired information.”
