The great nerve : the new science of the vagus nerve and how to harness its healing reflexes / by Tracey, Kevin J.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-293) and index.Great secrets: understanding the hidden power of the vagus nerve. How electricity could replace your medications -- The great nerve reveals itself -- Your body's healing reflexes -- Great interventions: the new frontier of stimulation therapy. The path to stimulation and early experiments with epilepsy -- Rebalancing inflammation -- Beyond medication: a healing reflex for depression -- Outside-in stimulation to regulate body weight, treat diabetes, and more -- The ear-brain-body connection: over-the-counter devices with many potential benefits -- Great expectations: everyday tools with promise. Meditation and breathwork -- Cold and exercise -- Your great nerve: how to talk to your doctor (FAQs) -- Coda: the clear and present future: computer chips, not medicines.The vagus nerve is fundamental to our health and vitality, coordinating critical functions from the precise heartbeat we need to exercise or rest to the balance of appetite and digestion. Made up of 200,000 fibers, the vagus nerve sends thousands of electrical signals every second between your brain and your most important organs. Yet despite its essential role in life, important vagus nerve functions have eluded centuries of scientific investigation. Now neurosurgeon and researcher Kevin Tracey has discovered the previously unknown power of the vagus nerve to reverse inflammation, balance the immune system, treat chronic illness, and keep our organs humming together in harmony. In The Great Nerve, Dr. Tracey shows us how stimulating the vagus nerve with a tiny electrical implant has the potential to reverse life-altering diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, MS, diabetes, obesity, stroke, depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. If this sounds too good to believe, Dr. Tracey shares stories of patients who have gone from being nearly bedridden to running and dancing, along with the science that makes possible these recoveries. He also explains the evidence for lifestyle strategies like ice baths, meditation, exercise, and breathwork that can maintain and improve vagus nerve function. By opening the door to the new field of neuroimmunology, The Great Nerve not only revolutionizes how we understand and treat disease, it gives us unprecedented hope for our health. This is the story of your body's ability to heal itself.

The face laughs while the brain cries : the education of a doctor / by Hauser, Stephen L.,author.(CARDINAL)871890;
"A doctor's powerful and deeply human memoir about the mysteries of the brain and his 40 year quest to find a treatment for MS. Dr. Stephen L. Hauser is an acclaimed physician and neuroimmunologist who has spent his career performing cutting-edge research on multiple sclerosis (MS), a devastating brain disease that affects millions of people worldwide. His work has revolutionized our understanding of the genetic immunology and treatment of MS, and led to the development of B cell therapies--currently the only therapy in place for progressive MS patients. The Face Laughs While The Brain Cries is a riveting memoir that follows Dr. Hauser from his unorthodox upbringing among the colorful cast of characters responsible for his development into a tenacious and innovative researcher, to the life-changing medical breakthroughs he has made against extremely long odds. Along the way, readers will learn the incredible stories of many of his patients, whose bravery, strength, and optimism in the face of a debilitating illness were instrumental to the progress that has been made in the fight against MS. This heartwarming book, written in accessible prose and related with equal measures of humor, empathy, and excitement, is sure to inspire anyone who has faced a daunting challenge"--
