If you have a Google of “Sympathetic Nervous System Immune System“, lots of standard Anatomy and Medical web pages will tell you that your Sympathetic Nervous System has a lot to do with your Immune System.
Similarly, a Google of “Sympathetic Nervous System Digestive System” will explain the role of your Sympathetic Nervous System in the monitoring, repair & coordination of your digestive system and processes.
“Sympathetic Nervous System Heart” tells us that your Sympathetic Nervous System “...has a wide variety of cardiovascular effects…”
“Sympathetic Nervous System Migraine” tells us that Migraine is actually “a chronic sympathetic nervous system disorder“
“Sympathetic Nervous System Food Allergies” tells us “Tellingly, epinephrine, the only injection that works for a food allergy attack is a neurotransmitter/hormone of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that augments sympathetic function.”
“Sympathetic Nervous System rheumatoid arthritis” tells us that “Although peripheral and central nervous system involvement have been well recognized in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), autonomic nervous system (ANS) involvement has rarely been studied“
“Sympathetic Nervous System Tinnitus shows that: “Our results suggest that relief of tinnitus was closely related to increased parasympathetic nerve
tone”
“Sympathetic Nervous System Fibromyalgia” tells us that ” sympathetic nervous system predominance is common in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial cystitis. This concordance raises the possibility that sympathetic dysfunction could be their common underlying pathogenesis that brings on overlapping clinical features.”
“Sympathetic Nervous System Sjogren’s syndrome” tells us patients with System Sjogren’s syndrome, decreased and imbalanced autonomic activity is prevalent and is associated with fatigue”
Chronic inflammation is also a result of a mis-firing Sympathetic Nervous System: “The sympathetic nervous system is well known to play a critical role in regulating inflammatory conditions” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-33360-8 and this can lead to cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQRazfBYQl8
“Sympathetic Nervous System anxiety, GERD…” … etc etc
You can do this all day: think of a disorder then Google “Sympathetic Nervous System ‘Chosen Disorder’ ” and most of the time (and quite a lot of it is new material) – usually something turns up, and you see lots of phrases like : “Autonomic dysfunction may be an under-recognised cause of …female fertility… or whatever”
So in short, your “Sympathetic Nervous System” is more than “a bit busy” in all sorts of hard to get to places. So a malfunctioning Sympathetic Nervous System is quite likely to be a critical base cause of huge amounts of ailments and syndromes both physical and mental as well as the cause of the inability of the body to recover after some external physical, mental or viral shock. By that I mean, say you hurt your knee in a fall, is your malfunctioning Sympathetic Nervous System the cause of your sore knee ? – Well knees expect to get hurt and damaged and there is a repair mechanism controlled by your Sympathetic Nervous System that is brilliant at fixing knees, but if your Sympathetic Nervous System is malfunctioning then the knee won’t get better so quickly or at all. So though the base cause of your sore knee is your fall, the base cause of your knee still being sore a year or a decade later may be your malfunctioning Sympathetic Nervous System.
So what is your Sympathetic Nervous System ? – don’t beat yourself up if you’ve never really heard much about it as it is something of a Cinderella of both the standard and alternative world of medicine… so far. All your Sympathetic Nervous System is, is a series of what could best be described as mini-brains that lie along the spine, so it is these brains and the nerves that go from them to the different parts of the body.
How to get a damaged Sympathetic Nervous System ? You first damage your spine with a trauma injury: You know the way they tell you that the heart pumps the blood around the body. Well it doesn’t. The heart pumps the blood away to the body, the blood then goes into the tissues, seeps out of the tissues and into the veins and has to get back to the heart again – but by now it has lost a lot of heart beat pressure, so what it does it
a) Uses the “Muscle pump” and
b) Gravity to get back home again.
All the “Muscle pump” is, is every time you move, your muscles squash the veins and squeeze the blood in them. There are one way valves in the veins and so the blood can only go one way… back to the heart.
“Gravity” is easy to understand for “old blood” in the head… it falls down back to the heart. “Gravity”, for the “old blood” below the heart, is more interesting and the Inclined Bed Therapy site explains how the old blood is less dense than the new fresh blood and so gravity pushes down the new dense blood which provides an extra very powerful “push up” to the blood in the veins.
For the Lymphatic system – which has twice as much fluid as the blood system, there is no central heart to move things around, it relies on the muscle pump and gravity. There is also an internal pump, where the lymph vessels contract on their own, called the intrinsic pump – more on that below. It is the lymphatic system which drains the toxins from the tissues – all the tissues in your body… including the tissues around the mini brains – the ganglion – that are the base hardware for your Sympathetic Nervous System.
If you have a bad fall and injure your spine then the muscles either side of your spine go into a protective spasm – which is not so much a cramp – though it can lead to a cramp – but mainly it just becomes permanently flexed – like when you show off your biceps. Your para-spinal muscles do this perhaps to provide a protective corset for your injured spine. For light injuries, this spasm is released when the spine has repaired itself, but for the more serious injuries of modern life that we were not designed for: car accidents etc this spasm stays forever. If you have this, then this means you lose the Muscle Pump along the spine and the lymph flow is reduced. The tissues then become swamped with stagnant toxic fluid – oedema – and the mini-brains, your ganglion, get poisoned and clogged by this swamp and do not operate properly. On top of that when they do send or receive signals they are sending along nerves that may be squashed by the twisted vertebrae. Hence your Sympathetic Nervous System will be operating well below it’s optimal levels and all sorts of problems all over the body can then happen as the Sympathetic Nervous System is the mother board for your body; both for it’s functioning and repair.
So how can you fix your Sympathetic Nervous System ? – It turns out to be quite easy, but you won’t find the answer in a bottle of tablets – all you do is fix your spine using the techniques shown here on www.GoodBack.co.uk
I used to have both Scoliosis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and also a serious problem with perpetually sore eyes and facial spasms. I always saw them as separate issues.
I got my scoliosis fixed using the AMSI machine – the main event – on www.GoodBack.co.uk and my sore eyes and excessive blinking and facial spasms stopped and I got my energy back – my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME went as well !
Myself and other therapists using these techniques also see lots of patients get rid of loads of other problems by fixing their spines.
So if you have a problem, I’m talking chronic problems, it is no bad idea to see if getting your back fixed will fix your other problem. Even if a Google search for “Sympathetic Nervous System ‘My Problem’ ” does not turn up much, as the Sympathetic Nervous System is a bit of a Cinderella as a ’cause of illness’. it will be no surprise to see new “Sympathetic Nervous System dysfunction may be an under-recognised cause of…. my problem” type articles over the coming years… so why wait till then ?
The “intrinsic pump” of the lymph vessels: The walls of lymph vessels have smooth muscle cells in them that can contract and force lymph to move. They don’t all contract as one all around the body at the same time – there is no body-level heart or heart beat for the lymph system. This beating happens locally to suit local requirements and is normally a big factor in lymph movement: “In humans, spontaneous contractile activity is estimated to account for 2/3 of lymph transport” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10473772/ . No heart is needed as lymph movement is much slower than blood movement: blood flow is at about 5 litres per minute, lymph is just over 5 litres per day. Where is, or what are, the pacemakers that drive the intrinsic pump ? Well, they are not too sure: “Presently, no investigations have clearly identified the cellular identity of possible pacemaker cells within the collecting lymph vessels”, but though the smooth muscle cells in the walls of the lymph vessels look like a good candidate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10473772/#R30, these smooth muscle cells are innervated (posh medical word for “connected & controlled by nerves”) by the sympathetic ganglion. Which sympathetic ganglion ? Different ones depending on the part of the body quite likely; so the neck ganglion look after the arms, the lower back ganglion look after the legs (same patterns you see as when you look at a map of dermatomes and myotomes) and so it is highly likely that these sympathetic ganglion have a say in the control the local beating of the lymph vessels and there has been some studies on this: “Overall, these in vivo experiments identified a strong impact of neurotransmitters on the contraction activity of lymphatic collectors in mice.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211124719306795 . This is why a bad knee is not just “because I had a fall and damaged it”, it’s because you have a bad back in the region looks after repair and maintenance for the knee and so the repair has not taken place. It is very legitimate to reframe the question, for an old issue from: “Why do I have a bad knee ?” to: “why has it not repaired itself ?”.
In fibromyalgia you can seen an extreme case of damage to the spine causing the intrinsic pump to switch off in the part of the body relating to where the spinal damage is: The tissues of the hands are very gritty when there is damage to the neck, ditto the feet when the lower back is damaged. What is this “grit” ? Lymph has lots of protein and various metabolic waste products and dead cell material etc and it that looks like these solidify and even calcify when not moved for a long time.
Repairing the spine using the GoodBack Protocol gets the sympathetic nervous system working well again which starts the intrinsic pumps of the lymph vessels working again… and then various other parts of the body can fix themselves. The lymph system has twice as much fluid in it as the blood system, it is the body’s repair system and yet scientific article after article bemoan how little is known and how little it is studied: “Little attention has been paid, however, to the clearance of excess interstitial fluid by the lymphatic circulation…” etc , https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1365-2036.2001.01037.x
$Trillions are spent every year on hospitals “to get people better” – to “repair patients” – but we have our own repair system – our own internal super-hospital – the lymphatic system and it’s controller the sympathetic nervous system; and yet next to bugger all research is done into these. This is why, when using the simple repeatable techniques of the GoodBack protocol to get these things working properly again, amazing “too-good-to-be-true” results can be had day in day out. That Internet meme of some fat old bloke looking at a computer in his house telling his wife “Look honey, I’ve found something the world’s top scientists have missed” – that becomes true when looking at the Sympathetic Nervous System and the Lymphatic System. “Little attention has been paid, however, to the clearance of excess interstitial fluid by the lymphatic circulation…” etc
