Kelly shared a Thanksgiving triumph with us, highlighting the transformative impact of recovery on both herself and her loved ones. Once unable to attend family gatherings due to immune and chemical sensitivities, she was able to fully participate in holiday dinner—interacting safely with pets, enjoying foods long off-limits, engaging meaningfully with relatives, and managing emotional moments around grief. Small victories, like asking confidently for what she needed, receiving compliments with gratitude, and hugging family with genuine warmth, underscored how much autonomy, confidence, and joy had returned.

For families supporting a chronically ill loved one, this story demonstrates that progress may be gradual, but the restoration of everyday pleasures, emotional connection, and social participation is possible—and deeply rewarding for everyone involved.

Lauren was just 22 and wheelchair-bound due to a combination of complex conditions including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Fibromyalgia, extreme sensitivities to light, sound and food, chronic fatigue, and multiple chemical sensitivities. Her illness impacted every part of her and her family’s life: she could barely leave the house, was deeply depressed, and her parents became full-time caregivers. Yet through persistence with the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) — a specialized neuroplastic-based program — she gradually regained her life, returning to laughter, independent movement, and the joy she once shared with her family.

For friends and family reading this: her story shows that although chronic illness can isolate and overwhelm a household, with the right approach and support there is meaningful change — and that family members can again witness and participate in the recovery and renewal of the person they care so deeply about.

After dedicated practice with the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), Linda experienced a series of profound “firsts” on Thanksgiving—attending a family dinner for the first time in two and a half years, being in someone else’s home, driving with her nephews, playing with a dog, and helping cook a meal. These moments were marked by calm, joy, and confidence, reflecting a remarkable return to everyday life and social connection.

For loved ones, this story illustrates how chronic illness isolates not just the person affected but the entire family, and how recovery through neuroplasticity-based retraining can restore presence, participation, and shared celebration, allowing families to reconnect and enjoy life together.

Autumn’s journey with the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) illustrates a remarkable turnaround: after years living with severe conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), food sensitivities, depression and anxiety, she found herself unable to care for her young daughter or remain in her own home. After adopting DNRS and committing fully, she not only moved back into her home and regained stamina but also reconnected deeply with her family — running, playing, singing, and being present again as the parent she longed to be.

For friends and family reading this: this story offers real hope that recovery is possible — and that your role as support matters in helping your loved one reclaim the life and family dynamics you’ve all missed.

This story follows a journey from severe chronic illness to vibrant recovery through the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS). Marian endured debilitating symptoms—racing heart, panic attacks, chemical and food sensitivities, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and more—that made leaving the house, caring for herself, or engaging socially nearly impossible. After discovering DNRS, which uses neuroplasticity to retrain the brain’s stress response, she experienced rapid improvements: panic attacks ceased, focus returned, and the ability to engage with life and joy was restored. Supported by a practice buddy, she regained the freedom to travel, connect with friends, and experience the world without fear.

For families and friends, this story illustrates the profound ripple effect chronic illness has on loved ones and how targeted brain retraining can restore autonomy, connection, and shared experiences, giving hope that meaningful recovery is possible.

I walked this journey with my amazing Swedish DNRS practice buddy, Tove, who is making a remarkable recovery of her own. We did virtual rounds together weekly, and I feel like I’ve made a friend for life. She helped motivate me to keep going on days when my hope was a tiny flickering light, and our buddy rounds were something I looked forward to every week.

I had the privilege of being able to visit her in Sweden over the summer. We had so much fun! 

Madison’s journey from severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) to vibrant health offers profound hope for families navigating the challenges of chronic illness.
