Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her remarkable journey from bedridden POTS patient to pioneering medical researcher developing treatments for autonomic dysfunction. Motivated by her own ten-year battle with post-viral dysautonomia and her children's similar struggles, she created patented solutions when conventional medicine offered no answers.

• POTS is not a disease but a presentation of symptoms related to inflammation affecting the cardiovascular system
• Dr. Driscoll's "Driscoll Theory" identifies high intracranial pressure as a common factor in POTS and dysautonomia
• Her research uncovered neurotransmitter deficiencies, particularly acetylcholine, leading to the development of Parasym Plus
• Inflammation creates oxidative damage, worsening symptoms and creating a vicious cycle that must be broken
• Many POTS patients show signs of blood vessel leakage and blood-brain barrier disruption
• Female patients often face additional challenges due to hormonal fluctuations increasing inflammatory responses
• Recovery requires consistency and understanding your personal inflammatory triggers
• Patients can maintain recovery by being proactive about their health and recognizing early warning signs
• Genetic factors influence inflammatory responses and understanding these can prevent relapse
