Lorrie Rivers is back with a 7-day “Long Covid and ME/CFS Holistic Healing Virtual Summit“. Online summits are all over the place and Health Rising gets many requests to promote them, but we only promote a few and always promote Lorrie’s. Why? Because Lorrie has personal experience with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and long COVID, and has developed her own unique blend of nutritional and mind/body approaches to deal with them.

That means her Summits boast a variety of speakers who poke at these diseases from a multitude of directions. As someone who believes that it will often take a variety of treatments to succeed, this makes sense to me.

Looking at the list of functional medicine disease doctors in the Summit, it’s remarkable how many (Teitelbaum, Hirsh, Krick, Rawls) got into the functional medicine field when traditional medicine failed to help them with their mysterious chronic illnesses.

Bill Rawls MD, an author and former chronic Lyme disease patient, wrote:

“My late 40s were marked by debilitating fatigue, tremendous brain fog, aching all over, burning in my feet and tingling in my hands, skin rashes, joint pain, chest pain, heart palpitations, mood changes, and poor sleep. I know what it’s like to start and end every day feeling like you have a terrible flu. Over several years, I experienced virtually every known symptom of Lyme disease.”

Dr. Evan Hirsch

Dr. Hirsh has done over 100 podcasts.

The speakers aren’t johnnie-come-latelys. They’re experienced doctors who’ve been scouring the functional medicine field for years. Dr. Teitelbaum, the author of many books on ME/CFS/FM, will discuss limbic dysfunction. Dr. Evan Hirsh (the “EnergyMD”), who is on his 110th podcast (!) has covered everything under the sun. Drew Kidder’s “Vibrant Wellness” functional medicine podcast is on its 75th session.

Dr. Taylor Krick, autoimmune patient and doctor who now treats autoimmune diseases from a functional medicine perspective,is coming up on his 60th podcast. Dr. John Lieurance, a chiropractic neurologist and naturopath will be speaking on methylene blue and melatonin – two subjects he’s recently been devoting podcasts to.

Along with the functional medicine side are a series of emotional/trauma/healing talks, three of which focus on breathing practices – which are now being embraced by a variety of practitioners including Dr. Putrino at Mt. Sinai. They can help speed oxygen to our tissues, calm down the autonomic nervous system, and reduce fight/flight. Dan Neuffer, Ashok Gupta, and Raelan Aegle – all former patients who have recovered – will talk about how retraining the autonomic nervous system and neuroplastic techniques can assist recovery.

Lorrie Rivers will lead several sessions on her favorite technique – the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – to help with sleep, emotional well-being, and fatigue. I’m kind of the lone man out – no treatments on offer from me – but I’ll speaking on my usual topic – the latest research – with an emphasis on how our understanding of nociplastic pain is informing these diseases. Several recovery stories dot the Summit as well.

These Summits aren’t for everyone, but if you have an interest in functional medicine and/or mind/body techniques, this one might be for you.
