It was October of 2017 that Mary was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Then, in March of 2018, Mary experienced a sudden and severe psychological trauma that added to limbic system impairment and pain. Describing her efforts to alleviate the chronic and intense pain, Mary remembers, “I saw a rheumatologist and my general practitioner. Then, in August 2018, I also started seeing an oncologist when I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. I told her, ‘If I could get rid of my fibromyalgia, my life would be much better. That is what really interferes with my quality of life.’ She informed me that the chemotherapy I was about to undergo often helped with autoimmune issues. After each infusion, my fibromyalgia would get better and then start ramping up again before the next treatment. After the last treatment, when it started to ramp up, there was nothing to stop it. That was when I experienced the worst pain, often a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.”

In hopes of finding an answer, Mary attended a lecture called “Could It Be Lyme?” in which the doctor and presenter introduced his wife who had been in a series of car accidents that started to bring her previously resolved Lyme symptoms back on. “She discovered DNRS and told him, ‘If everyone did this, you wouldn’t have a practice left.’ When I talked with him afterwards, he recommended that I check it out. I did, and when I read the information on the website, I signed up immediately and haven’t looked back.”

After beginning to implement DNRS, Mary began to notice relief immediately. And while DNRS is not a treatment for cancer, she says that even her outlook on that has shifted. “The practice of rewiring my brain over many months had the added benefit of keeping my symptoms under control and keeping a positive mindset, especially in the face of cancer. I was right in what I told my oncologist. I now have a wonderful quality of life.”

With dedication and perseverance, Mary is excited to share that she has recovered from the conditions that brought her to DNRS. In celebration, she shared the following message on our Global Community Forum:

I am so grateful for Annie Hopper and DNRS. I woke up on March 3rd COMPLETELY RECOVERED! I have not had any fibromyalgia symptoms since then.

 Prior to this point, I had been feeling stuck for quite a while. The depression did come and go during my recovery process when I would receive difficult news from a cancer scan. My practice is what had me bounce back quickly. Envisioning pleasant past experiences and future visions brought me back into equilibrium. Throughout the whole process, my coach was critical to my ongoing belief in the program and some very specific guidance on how to improve my practice. I can’t recommend coaching more highly. The coaches are so well trained. I came away from every coaching session feeling better and with specific techniques to put into practice. 

Thank you Annie and my coach and all of the wonderful DNRS community. Keep the faith and don’t stop!

What is Mary’s message for those who are still suffering? “Make the commitment to do DNRS. Not only will the practice rewire your brain, you can connect to the most wonderful, positive, uplifting community ever. Take advantage of the coaching, Living DNRS groups and whatever else is being offered to support your journey. The coaching is especially important. It is there that you get help that is tailored to you and your issues, however they change over time. The coaches are incredibly well trained and knowledgeable. Most importantly, don’t give up hope!”

Lori was first diagnosed with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) in 2014. Life had become more and more challenging, with 2018 being her most limited year. “I was bed-bound or housebound at all times, with the exception of medical appointments and a couple of outings resulting in weeks of extreme recovery afterward.” She had visited numerous doctors and tried many different treatments and protocols in search of healing. “I had tried everything: two pages of different modalities, protocols, and specialists. I spent thousands of dollars on supplements, private pay clinics, energy healing, and so much more. But any relief I found was minimal and very short-lived.”

Lori found out about DNRS earlier this year after reading a blog post online that mentioned the program. She began the program soon after, and recently shared her exciting progress on our Community Forum:

After starting the program in April, mood elevation was the first change that I noticed. Some of my personality silliness and lightheartedness started coming back, and I began smiling and laughing more.

Energy was the second change that I noticed. When I started DNRS I found myself consistently able to get up out of the bath on my own instead of sitting there in a towel after the water had drained. I no longer needed to call my husband for help – I could get right up and out myself! Fast forward to today, I am now able to stand up and take a shower many days, wash my hair and blow-dry it myself!! I’m up out of bed more and am having fewer ME/CFS symptoms. My parents held a family reunion in August and I was able to be there this year, which was amazing!

I was also able to go look at a few houses this summer. We had been wanting to buy a house for a long time, but stayed renting a duplex with my supportive parents who walked our dog and sent over meals since my husband was busy with a full-time job, 3 kids, and doing all of the household tasks. Then we found our house and moved in last month! I was able to handle the stress of moving, and I found that since moving into our new place the shifts have really been happening.

I can also now consistently walk my own dog down the street myself and I am looking forward to taking her on longer and longer walks as I continue to progress. The sense of accomplishment I feel as these things have come back to me is incredible! Last week I helped my husband with some pruning in the front yard! And the other night we played a game with my step kids! And I even found myself putting on some background music! All of this is huge progress.

Being in a car as a passenger has become easier as I can now sit up with eyes open and no noise-canceling headphones on, and I’m able to much more easily process everything going by again. The other day we went over to see my parents and I didn’t even bring my headphones! I’m sleeping better, feeling better overall, and yes there are ups and downs in this healing process but the shifts are happening! Looking forward to so many things that I know will happen in the near future!

I am so very grateful for this program. I had tried so many different modalities and protocols before finding DNRS and I am so thrilled to have finally found what I’ve been looking for these past 5 years! Forever thankful to Annie, to my new DNRS friends, and to everyone that has been here for me and become a part of this journey! Sending love and light to everyone along for the ride on this journey! 

To those who are still suffering, Lori’s message is, “When I initially heard about DNRS, I thought it was just positive thinking and meditation, which I had already been doing for years. I was so wrong and was surprised to discover that it was very physical. I learned how trauma (which for me was a virus) caused a limbic system impairment resulting in prolonged symptoms like post-exertional fatigue and brain and body inflammation. Now I have a way to begin to change that cycle.

I had tried everything, so I am thrilled to know that I have finally found what I’ve been looking for! I am forever grateful for this program for the way it is helping me heal. Life is so much more beautiful now!”

Paul began experiencing symptoms associated with limbic system impairment fourteen years ago. “The first obvious a sign was in 2005. I slowly crashed into a fatigue and brain fog that lasted three months. I came out of that and felt ‘normal’ again, then three years later experienced a similar event, two months duration this time, which again resolved spontaneously.” Life resumed normally for Paul until he began noticing symptoms again in 2013. “Six years ago I started to notice some heat intolerance, not bad at first, but slowly getting worse so that by mid 2014 I was feeling critically overheated, flushing, or pale, and a feeling of impending doom. I got a diagnosis of Cutaneous Mastocytosis in 2015, and found a little relief, but my symptoms simply got worse over time. In 2018 I was diagnosed with mold toxin illness, but treatments didn’t make me better and I continued to slowly get worse.” Paul had visited many different doctors and specialists in search for answers, including an allergist who specializes in Mast Cell Activation disorders. As Paul describes, “The diagnosis is a bit of a medical curse, as the dharma is that most people don’t get cured of Mastocytosis, but rather find a way to minimize symptoms mainly by avoidance of triggers. So I had a belief from this that I was simply struck with mast cells releasing their chemicals inappropriately for the rest of my life.”

Paul found out about the DNRS program through his wife, who is a retired medical doctor. “She was researching online, and found an integrative functional doctor who specializes in Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), mold, Lyme Disease, all the chronic stuff we used to suffer from. Near the end of their consultation, he casually mentioned DNRS as something his patients who don’t respond well to other treatments find relief from. So the next day, there I am on the website, and I know I’ve found my path.”

Paul recently shared his exciting progress on our Community Forum. Although we recommend that people implement the program for a minimum of six months, for some, they will start to see profound changes before this time.

Hey all. I started the program four weeks ago today, and my life seems rather normal, or at least what I remember from long ago: normal for me is exuberant, friendly, a dancer, out visiting friends, enjoying the moment, enjoying the sunshine, and enthusiastic in everything I do. A full-on lover of life. I am all of these and so much more again, I am so grateful to recreate my being once again, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes: Here I am!

Friday night, my wife and I went out for a street party in town. Loud music, jammed streets, lots of friends hugging me, seeing me “back” in my joy. So we talked story, danced a bit, walked all about, and made dates for going over to two different friends’ houses for dinner this week – none of which would have happened just four weeks ago.
So hurrah for this sweet life! Hooray for Annie, and the whole DNRS program.

Aloha, y’all.

What is Paul’s message for those who are still suffering? “Someone once enrolled me in a personal growth program with these words: ‘You can either be, do, or have what you say you want in life, or you can have the reasons why not.’ I wanted healing. I wanted my life back. I had become a prisoner of my house. Mind you, I live in paradise, so it’s not a bad prison. But worse, I was a prisoner of my fear and anxiety. I already had all the reasons why not, but the thing I wanted, healing, spoke to me when I heard the testimonials of others. I wanted to discount them, with a sense of having tried so many things.

This one works. There are hundreds, likely thousands of us who have reclaimed our lives. You can do this. I had mostly given up hope, yet I did it. I am healing and it is a miracle of the highest order. If you are hesitant, remember a day before you had symptoms. You can experience these days of joy again and again.”

Paul also shared with us a recent milestone that brought him immense joy. “The best memory is of my wife waking to see me on the morning of Day 2 of the Online program. I had gone out in the garden to water, and the sun (my major trigger) was out and I stood in it for a short period of time to do the practice I had learned the day before, giggling and laughing because I was only getting hot. I wasn’t freaking into malaise and brain fog. I was laughing that I used to get ill doing this. So I went back to bed. My wife awoke, saw me and said, ‘Welcome back’ with the sweetest grin I had seen in years. I have been crying in joy ever since!”

Alina first began noticing symptoms associated with limbic system impairment when she was a child. “Food sensitivities and environmental sensitivities in the form of excessive histamine reactions developed by the time I was 8 years old. I began fainting when I was 16 years old, following my second ‘perfect storm’, and showing other signs of limbic system impairment. By age 23, I was having panic attacks and many other debilitating physical symptoms from excess cortisol. However, it was not until 2017 when I withdrew from benzodiazepines that the extent of the impairment became deeply apparent. ” Prior to finding the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), Alina had visited many doctors and specialists to try to find a solution to her list of symptoms, including cardiologists, gastrointestinal specialists, endocrinologists, radiologists, gynecologists, a functional nutritionist, psychiatrists, energy healers, psychologists, and four different primary care doctors. She recalls “In the past I had also seen a pulmonary specialist and oncologist for testing, as well as having numerous MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (computerized tomography) imaging done. “In 2018 alone, I was in the emergency room on six separate occasions.”

Alina found the DNRS program while searching online for answers. “After a severe reaction to supplements suggested by the functional nutritionist, I hit rock bottom and went back to researching. Recovering from benzodiazepines is part of my history, and I came across someone who used DNRS to overcome protracted withdrawal symptoms. If not for her recommendation, I am not sure where I would be, as in all my medical appointments, not one doctor was able to provide relief or an effective treatment. ”

When describing her progress so far, Alina writes:

I attended the Greensboro DNRS live seminar in April and this is my 4th update since then.

PHYSICAL

• This past month I had been involved in a lot of household projects. The projects required much physical labor and my body performed amazingly. I was able to bounce back after resting only for an hour or so instead of being impacted for days. I experienced normal aches associated with muscle use and exercise, but not post-exertional malaise, and this went away very quickly. 
• I have been gardening and doing physical labor outdoors without any episodes from heat exhaustion. The heat index where I live has been 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit on average. 
• Insect bites do not cause severe reactions any longer. This is the first time in the past 23 years where I have noticed improvement. 
• I have returned to using scented hair products.
• Cleaners and other chemicals are not producing any reactions, however, I am maintaining the same environmental awareness so that I can make informed decisions.
• My menstrual cycle is on time, normal, and very uneventful. I am noticing the week before to be less emotionally jarring. 
• I’ve used paint again. 
• Visual issues continue to improve.

EMOTIONAL

• I’ve begun using the program tools to work on a relationship. This relationship was directly related to part of my ‘perfect storm’. They stayed at my home for 3 days and it was a very healing experience.
• I am noticing huge improvement in combating anger and shedding fear. 
• I am able to laugh more freely and smile. 
• I am kinder.
• I am working more efficiently and have a higher capacity to draw from. 
• I am shedding excuses. 
• I am communicating with people I had previously avoided contact with and am okay.

FOOD

• I eat out at least twice a week. Prior to the program, I made all of my own meals. 
• I am eating spicy foods again, including jalapeño, curries, and salsa. 
• I do not refrain from eating cheese or tomato on more challenging days. 

MISC

• I’ve had guests in my home without any restrictions. 
• I’ve gone to loud/crowded restaurants with groups of people.  
• I went to garage sales and bought items. 
• I’ve revisited areas that have been problematic in the past and have overcome the experience by creating positive ones.
• I am forgetting my old self, but not the lessons. 

To someone who is still suffering, Alina’s message is, “Give this a chance! This was the missing piece for me. I cannot begin to express what a complete difference the tools I have gained from this program have made. One year ago, I never would have imagined being able to do what I can do now.”

Erin remembers noticing symptoms associated with limbic system impairment in childhood. “I feel that I’ve been primed for limbic system impairment since a very young age, with several different ‘perfect storms’ throughout my life. I had some sensitivities and motion sickness as a baby, developed migraines at age 8, and became very sick at age 19, when I was initially diagnosed with Lyme Disease and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, but kept accumulating more symptoms and diagnoses as time went on.” Prior to finding the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), Erin had tried many treatments and visited many doctors and specialists to try to find an answer to her list of symptoms. “I’ve been privileged enough to be able to visit some of the best healers in the Chicago area, and although most of these doctors caused a slight improvement in my symptoms, none of them were able to truly resolve the root of my illnesses. I’ve visited three neurologists, two Lyme Disease and mold literate doctors, two Endometriosis specialists, two OBGYNs (Obstetrics and Gynecology), an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT), an allergist, a dentist/jaw specialist, a dizziness and hearing doctor, a naturopath, a dietician, a biofeedback specialist, a neurofeedback clinic, a chronic pain therapist, multiple psychologists and psychiatrists, and multiple bodywork specialists, including acupuncturists, masseuses, physical therapists, yoga/meditation instructors, a craniosacral therapist, and an integrative manual therapist.”

Erin began DNRS after her doctor recommended the program. “I originally heard about DNRS from a mold illness group online, but I completely wrote off the program at that time, assuming it was too good to be true. A few years later, the second Lyme/mold doctor I visited recommended the program. She correctly recognized that my problem was limbic and convinced me to try DNRS, and I’m happy to say that she will be the last specialist I visit!”

When describing her progress so far, Erin writes:

“I am about 6 months into DNRS practice and I’m already experiencing so many successes. I am so amazed at how far I’ve come, and so incredibly proud of myself. 

• I can eat just about anything I want! I can eat fruit, starches, refined flours, processed foods, and even sugar! I can order off of menus now and I feel so much more comfortable going to restaurants. I also ate s’mores a few days ago – I had 4 vegan marshmallows!

• I can go to so many more places! I’m currently now able to enter older buildings and spend a few minutes inside!

• My digestion has improved, and I no longer need to take probiotics! 

• I have stopped taking about half of my supplements! 

• I have very little smell sensitivity now! I can be around perfume, scented products, campfire smoke, etc. I actually find myself enjoying some scented products, like sunscreen at the beach or shampoo. That is an amazing step for me, and is bringing back all sorts of pleasant memories associated with these scents.

• I am also a lot less sensitive to loud noises – often I can leave the window open when fire trucks go by my apartment.

• I feel so much more happy, joyful, playful, and confident! I have been finding myself laughing at things that happen in every day life!

• I have drastically reduced my exposure to negativity! I barely use social media, I avoid the news, and I steer all conversations towards happier topics. It feels great being in a happy DNRS bubble while I retrain my brain! 

• I’ve helped my partner be happier, too! He’s learning a lot from watching me participate in DNRS. 

• I have been learning lots of new things and enjoying being childlike and playful. My partner and I have been learning how to dance, and we’ve been doing fun spontaneous activities like playing frisbee or hopscotch outside in the park! 

• I am connecting more with others, and looking forward to making new friends!

I am really excited to see where the next six months take me!

Here’s a picture of me chowing down on a vegan burger on my 23^rd birthday last month – can you tell how happy I am?

To someone who is still suffering, Erin’s message is, “You owe it to yourself to try this program if you are sick with any of the symptoms listed on the DNRS website. I’m sure many of you are skeptical, and I was too – with all my experience with doctors and my educational background in psychology and medical research, I thought there was no way that the answer to my years of illness could be so simple. And yet, it is! The answer had been there all along – while these symptoms and illnesses are all real, the root of the problem is in our brains, not our bodies. Self-directed neuroplasticity is a completely revolutionary way to heal yourself, and I believe that if you can commit to the program, DNRS will be the last treatment you’ll ever need.”

Symptoms of limbic system impairment started at birth for Ellen. She recalls, “I’ve had a few different ‘perfect storms’ since then.  I have suffered with Depression for most of my life, and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2007.” Prior to finding the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), Ellen had visited several different doctors and specialists to try to find an answer to her accumulating list of symptoms. “I have been in and out of Psychotherapy for over 25 years. I’ve seen many, many Psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psychiatrists.  After I developed more physical symptoms of limbic impairment, I saw a pain specialist, a Rheumatologist, a Physical Therapist, more Psychiatrists, several Naturopathic doctors, and probably more I’m forgetting.  I also did years of Zen meditation, yoga, and became a level 2 Reiki practitioner.”

Ellen eventually found out about DNRS while searching the Internet for answers. She has since had many milestones along the way of her recovery journey, and she shared her most recent progress on our Community Forum: 

Hi Everyone,

It’s been one year of DNRS for me.  I started the DVDs last June and went to an in-person seminar in November.  I feel so incredibly lucky and so amazingly blessed to have found this program.  This is the answer.  This is IT! Thank you so much to Annie, Michelle, Connie, Tessa, all of my Community Forum pals! I have learned so much from all of you and it brings a tearful feeling of joy to my eyes and heart to think of all you have given me.

I have to tell you that the biggest thing is that I am working again!  I had not worked for five years when I began the program in June 2018.  After six months, I began a part time job.  It was challenging, BUT I worked the program every day and I can do so many amazing things at work now!  I can think on my feet.  I can communicate difficult things. I can be assertive.  I can stand on my feet for long periods of time.  I don’t worry about what others think of me. I can be around tired, crabby people and not pick up their moods. I manage most days to remain calm and happy!  I have fun and am silly at work!  I cannot tell you how amazingly grateful I am!

I can eat whatever I want after having tried umpteen diets. I eat histamine foods, leftovers, chocolate, junk food, wheat, dairy, FODMAPs (short chain carbohydrates), and more.  I know that if I have any symptoms, it is not from food, it’s from my silly, cross-wired brain and I use the program’s tools.

 I can drink tap water!!

 I rarely feel nauseous anymore! (This was a big symptom for me and I forgot to mention it.)

 I no longer take migraine meds. I still have a few headaches and I can take a regular headache medicine and it works!  

I no longer have issues with scents or chemicals. I don’t even know what happened to my mask I used to have to wear into stores!  I recently passed a hotel where I stayed a little over a year ago when a housemate sprayed bug spray in our house.   I had COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN about that episode.  The hotel had smelled so strongly to me at the time and had caused so many symptoms that I had slept in the car. Now I have totally improved.  I can even laugh at that story now!

I no longer need to wear an eye mask to sleep.  Sensitivity to light is no longer a problem.

I do laughter yoga now.  When I first started, I was in a laughter yoga group and I had to leave them because they were too much for me to handle.  Now I’m doing lots of laughter yoga and making lots of connections. Today I challenged myself and did my first DNRS practice with a person I didn’t know!  I had been doing rounds with buddies before this, but this was the first time I did rounds with someone I have no relationship with. These are big wins in the social anxiety and mental fatigue areas.  

I had a condition I don’t hear about much, in which many sounds sounded like noise and sounded extra loud, discordant, etc.  I actually incrementally trained with heavy metal music (LOL).  I haven’t been able to really enjoy music for a long time but I am getting better and better at this.  It used to sound like most or all sound blended into this big, difficult cacophony.  This has gotten so much better.  A few weeks ago I was listening to a song and could discern and enjoy the various instruments that were playing.  I cried such happy tears.  My husband is a DJ and it was while listening to his show so it was extra special. I’m really looking forward to more and more rewiring in this area as music itself can be so healing.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is mostly gone.

My startle response used to be so high.  I would jump three feet in the air at the smallest sound or interruption.  That has totally normalized.

I had very mild electrical sensitivity and it’s totally gone.

I used to be sensitive to a lot of fabrics and that is gone.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is mostly gone – like I said, I stand for long periods of time at work, with mostly no problems.

Physical fatigue – this is so improved! I am out and about at least five hours a day.  When I began I could only do one or maybe two activities a day and then would have to have rest days in between. 

Mental fatigue – I’m doing much better at thinking, computers, and reading. I can think, read, and work for longer and make many fewer mistakes and get less frustrated.

Muscle/bone pain and stiffness is mostly gone.  This comes back now and then, but it has gone away for such long periods, that when it comes back I don’t take it too seriously because I know I am training my brain to not have it anymore.

I am more emotionally stable and able to separate my emotions from the emotions of those around me. I almost never am scanning the environment for other people’s negative emotions anymore.  This is such a huge change and makes such a difference in my being able to keep my energy for me! Boundaries are such a beautiful thing!  I had studied how to have boundaries via so many avenues for most of my life, and now I finally feel like I am “getting it.” I am no longer taking responsibility for other people’s “stuff.” 

I know there are so many more things that have changed.  I actually really have forgotten what it was like before DNRS, so it’s a bit hard to remember everything that has changed.  I feel so grateful, lucky, blessed, and fortunate. I am going for 100% healed, no matter how much time it takes.  

I recently read a kids book called The Very Impatient Caterpillar where there is this caterpillar who is really impatient to get out of his chrysalis.  I laughed so hard because that is how it feels sometimes. He’s asking another caterpillar, “How long will this take?!” I totally relate.  For now, I am just going to snuggle into my chrysalis and relax. I know it’s all happening.  The process works.  You are all becoming beautiful butterflies, and so am I!

To someone who is still suffering, Ellen’s message is, “I thought about it for more than two years before purchasing the DNRS DVDs. I did not think it would work, but I was committed to trying whatever I could, and DNRS was the next thing on my list. Now it’s the last thing on my list.”

Noelle began experiencing symptoms associated with limbic system impairment 11 years ago. The symptoms originally began after an international business trip in 2008, but significantly worsened after a medication reaction in 2015. Noelle had been to several doctors and specialists, both in state and out of state, trying to find an answer to her list of symptoms. “I have seen my primary care doctor, a Neurologist, a Cardiologist, an Electrophysiologist, a Gastroenterologist, a Rheumatologist, a Clinical Geneticist, an Ophthalmologist, multiple integrative medicine Doctors, and I spent a week at an outpatient facility seeing a specialist for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.”

Noelle found out about DNRS after her one of her doctors recommended the program. She has been implementing the program for the last 6 months, and has seen exciting improvements. She described her progress to date on our Community Forum:

I am celebrating my 6 months of DNRS today!!  I started the DVD program on November 4^th and attended the Austin Seminar in March. Attending the seminar in person was only possible through the early DNRS work on my own! I’ve had so many beautiful breakthroughs, and here are some favorites:

– I flew on a plane with 3 days notice and rocked it.

– I’ve 80% healed Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and 99% healed Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy and IBS.  I’ve also gone from having 4-5 headaches a week to less than one a month.

– I now happily am able to have the windows open during Spring, work in the dirt and pet animals, including our new puppy, with zero symptoms.

– I wash my hair with real shampoo and conditioner whenever I want.

– I have started exercising! I’m walking up to 20 minutes so far.

– I now do all of my retraining steps standing up, all of the time, an hour + a day.

– My mood feels positive 90% of the time, and when I do feel out of sorts, I have all the tools to easily elevate it.

– I’m back to my full time job of homeschooling my children, and we’ve added lots of new activities out of the house now that I am able to easily commit to events.

– I shop at Target without noticing anything, just like a normal person.

– I have hosted a party and happily attend parties!

– My appetite is normal and I eat 3 meals a day!

– I’ve had my first virus with a fever in 11 years (a good sign that my immune response is actually working again).

– I spend time outside in the sun and heat of Texas.

– I crave wearing bright and happy colors.

– I’m making new friends.

– I have more than doubled the number of foods I’m eating!!

– I use lip balm and lotion from the store.

– I cared for myself and one of my daughters on my own for the weekend while my husband was out of town with my other daughter!

– I turned down an appointment for an expert after 7 months on her waiting list.

– I leave the house multiple times a day, stay out all day, or run many errands in a day without thinking about it and feel great afterwards.

– I find myself doing things that would have caused me great concern as recently as a month ago, and now I’m not even thinking about them!

This is the most beautiful healing journey and I am so grateful to heal alongside each of you!!!

To someone who is still suffering, Noelle’s message is, “Healing is possible and never, ever, ever give up!”

Kira started to notice she was developing symptoms associated with limbic system impairment almost 30 years ago. She recalls, “It began with Anxiety and panic attacks, and then IBS. Little did I know that that was just the beginning of years of accumulating new symptoms and conditions. I have visited so many different doctors: GPs, neurologist, gynecologists (several), gastroenterologist, allergist, internists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and most recently a complex pain specialist. I think there are some more specialists I am missing because 30 years is a long time and I don’t remember them all. I have also seen countless naturopaths, homeopaths, herbalists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, physiotherapists, energy healers, shamans, and more. You name it, I have tried it.”

She found out about DNRS through her complex pain specialist. “It was one of the first things the specialist recommended after assessing me, and I am so glad I checked out the website because as soon as I read about DNRS, I KNEW it was what I had been looking for years.”

Here is Kira’s 6 month progress report!

“Hi fellow retrainers! It has now been six months since I attended the DNRS seminar in Sooke and the time has just flown by. I have been keeping track of all of my positive shifts, and I’ve made a list of the significant ones. Some days I am amazed at how far I have come. I am so grateful to DNRS and Annie Hopper for changing my life! Here are some of the awesome things I have experiences in since I started DNRS on July 9, 2018:

• Significant reduction in fibromyalgia pain 80-90%.
• Reduced my pain medication by 85-90% since starting DNRS. Completely stopped anti-inflammatory medication and muscle relaxants.
• I am happy every day. Depression and anxiety are gone (including anxiety in crowds and driving on the highway).
• Able to sit for 5+ hours pain free (before DNRS, only about 15-20 minutes).
• Able to stand easily for an hour or more (before DNRS, about 10 mins).
• Sleeping more soundly, often the whole night through. I feel relaxed waking up rather than startled. I usually feel rested after sleep now.
• I don’t have to rest after waking up anymore.
• Clenching my jaw a lot less during sleep.
• Startle response has reduced considerably.
• Less sensitive to noise and light.
• I have more energy, physically and mentally, and more physical stamina.
• I am able to do a lot more in a day, with ease.
• My brain is much clearer, brain fog is mostly gone.
• Headaches decreased from almost daily to 1-2 times per month. I can often stop a headache without medication now too.
• Walking at least 25 minutes per day, every day.
• Hypoglycemia is less pronounced.
• POTS symptoms reduced.
• Feeling motivated again, I am more productive, and procrastinating less.
• The tip of my tongue is no longer red and sore all the time.
• Reduced food cravings, especially for sugar, coffee, and alcohol, and reduced comfort eating.
• No longer needing to rely on coffee for energy.
• In less of a rush all the time, and feel much less pressured. I have more patience.
• No need to sleep with an orthopedic pillow anymore.
• I have comfortably gone on my first road trips in 8+ years.
• Able to be more flexible and spontaneous.
• My digestion has improved – no more reflux.
• Often feel peaceful, tranquil, and relaxed.
• Tinnitus is not quite as loud.
• Friends have commented that I seem much happier, and I am doing more day-to-day.
• I look forward to doing things (working, socializing, walking) now rather than dreading them.

I often do something and find myself saying ‘I could not have done that six months ago before DNRS.’ I can’t wait to see what the future months of DNRS brings!

To someone who is still suffering, I would say, medicine is evolving, and part of that evolution is the discovery that the brain is much more powerful and flexible than we thought. So many conditions that were previously not understood have now been linked to a limbic system impairment or injury, which is exciting, because that is something we can heal! We have so much more power than we think when it comes to managing our brains and changing our lives, and DNRS shows you how to create and focus that power in order to recover.

I have tried so many medications, seen so many specialists, and tried so many therapies, but nothing has come even close to working as well as DNRS has. I would probably not have believed it had I not tried it myself. I don’t think I would have otherwise imagined that working with my brain for an hour a day could resolve symptoms that I have had for decades.That is the beauty of neuroplasticity and DNRS. It may seem too good to be true, but it’s not. It is absolutely real. I have had so many wonderful shifts already, and I can’t wait to see what my future with DNRS holds.”
