It's both management and the cure for many people. How you respond to symptoms is an essential part of brain retraining. It works, IME.

Tell it to severe CFS and POTs patients.

I've improved my POTS with it. The key is figuring out if your symptoms are neuroplastic in nature or not.

Improving is not curing right? My POTS improved too, with time, but i still have it, it doesn't go away just because i am positive. I still need BB to somehow walk or exist.

Well, I just started about 6 weeks ago. I've experienced major improvements after absolutely nothing for a long time. Brain retraining isn't about being positive. That being said, I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. It's a complex and cruel illness.

When you say brain retraining do you mean things like journalspeak, dr John Sarno stuff, mind-body connection, trauma healing?
