Kelly, I worked my way through your entire Substack a while ago, and now that I'm on the platform myself, I made you my first recommendation. Well-reasoned perspectives like yours, that respect the role of the scientific method, put things in the context of the past and the future, and embrace progress while acknowledging what is positive about the current order, are far too few. As a chronic illness sufferer myself, you cover so many topics that are close to my heart and often on my mind. I really appreciate the work you've done - both through your writing and as an advocate for the advancement of bioelectronic medicine. I'm truly happy to hear of the relief this treatment gave (and hopefully still gives) you. I'm hopeful for the potential it holds for treating me and others like myself. Your story was one of several factors that led me to purchase a microcurrent device that has a (noninvasive) vagus nerve stimulation protocol. I don't expect it to completely cure me, but I'll be happy about any quality-of-life improvements it can provide (while we wait patiently for that gold-standard testing). I look forward to the day when bioelectronic medicine takes its proper place in the medical toolbox, and I think you can take pride in your contribution to that future.
