Summary

Shoshana developed Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) following a viral illness, leaving her severely fatigued, fainting frequently, and unable to function in daily life. Despite extensive medical testing and trying a wide range of treatments, her condition remained debilitating. After discovering DNRS, she experienced rapid improvement and continued to recover over time. Today, she describes a full return to health, energy, and emotional well-being. Her story reflects how addressing limbic system imp

When Everything Changed

In May 2016, Shoshana’s life shifted suddenly.

A previously healthy and active mother of four, she became ill with a virus—but instead of recovering, her condition worsened. What followed was months of being bedridden, unable to carry out even basic daily tasks.

“I would faint when walking very short distances.”

Severe fatigue made it impossible for her to care for herself, her children, or continue working.

Living with Severe Limitations

As her condition persisted, Shoshana sought answers through the medical system.

She consulted a wide range of specialists and underwent extensive testing, eventually receiving a diagnosis of POTS. She tried multiple treatment approaches, both conventional and alternative, including medications, dietary changes, and structured exercise programs.

“I tried nearly all the different treatments available.”

While some approaches provided limited relief, her overall function remained severely impaired.

Daily life became defined by restriction, uncertainty, and the loss of independence.

A Turning Point

Shoshana discovered DNRS through her husband, who had read about it on a POTS forum.

Although she felt she had already tried everything, she decided to begin the program. Almost immediately, she noticed meaningful changes.

Encouraged by her progress, she traveled from Israel to attend an in-person seminar just a few months later.

What followed was not just improvement—but transformation.

A Letter of Transformation

About six months into the program, Shoshana shared the following letter reflecting on how much her life had changed:

Dear Annie,

You are in the wonderful position that you (probably) don’t remember me, since you’ve changed so many people’s lives. I, however, am in the equally wonderful position to be one of these lucky people, and I think of you every day.

It has been over 6 months since I started your course—to please my husband, since I had resigned myself to a POTS-dominated life and I’d tried “everything”. I am still in shock when I contrast my life then to my life now, especially after attending the seminar in Skylonda in June.

Tears of gratitude fill my eyes when I remember that not so long ago, we kept a wheelchair in the house, so that I could occasionally attempt to join my family’s activities… that a walk up my short street required the use of a walker with a seat… that I would hide in my house to avoid the pitying looks of my neighbors…

And most of all—that I couldn’t be anywhere near the mother I wanted to be for my four lovely daughters, and felt like a burden to my incredibly supportive and loving husband.

Now… I can cook and clean my house without a second thought—so trivial, but so amazing to me. I can jog up a hill, run up and down stairs, take my girls out on full day trips on my own, and see the joy I am filled with shining back at me from my husband’s eyes.

For I truly am filled with joy, love, gratitude, and appreciation.

I can make plans and stick to them, not driven by the whims of my limbic and autonomic systems. I am a loving, happy, present person, mother and wife.

I can participate fully in life.

I will be forever grateful to you for your gift of fully experiencing the sweetness of life, even more than ever before.

Thank you, Annie. They’re such small words, with so much feeling behind them.

Wishing you every success in changing the world for so many more people with the magic of neuroplasticity.

Ever grateful,

Shoshana

A Life Fully Restored

Today, Shoshana describes a life that is not only restored, but expanded.

She is able to care for her children, participate fully in daily life, and move through the world with energy, stability, and joy.

Reflecting on her experience, she describes DNRS as:

“A key that opened a door that was locked… that I didn’t even know was there.”

Beyond the physical changes, she emphasizes a deeper shift—one that brought back emotional connection, presence, and appreciation for life.

“There is so much sweetness and beauty everywhere.”

For Shoshana, the transformation is both practical and profound:

A return to health—and a renewed ability to fully experience life.

To someone who is still suffering, she says, “The DNRS was like a key that opened a door that was locked, that I didn’t even know was there. I had felt numb and unfeeling, without even realizing it. Aside from the huge measurable, physical changes that the DNRS program made possible, what’s even more important to me is the fact that I’m so much happier as a person! There is so much sweetness and beauty everywhere. It is just waiting for you… You can do this. Your brain can change; it is programmed to change. It’s changing right now! All you have to do is harness and direct that change. Don’t give up if you aren’t healed right away; think of all the roots a plant has to grow underneath the ground before it flowers. Keep that beautiful flower in mind and it will become even more beautiful than you imagine it!”­
