    Alex, a 15-year-old athlete lost nearly everything after developing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) — until two surgeons discovered the truth hidden in plain sight.

    For two years, Alex lived with unbearable pain after a bike accident. His foot changed colors. He couldn’t walk. He lost hope. Over 20 doctors told him the same thing: “Learn to live with the pain.”
    Then everything changed.

    In this powerful episode, you’ll hear how Dr. Lee Dellon and Dr. Eric Williams uncovered multiple nerve compressions that were misdiagnosed as CRPS — and how their treatment gave Alex his life back.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    🔹 Why the “never operate on CRPS” rule doesn’t always apply
    🔹 How multiple nerve entrapments can mimic systemic pain disorders
    🔹 The critical role of diagnostic nerve blocks in uncovering the truth
    🔹 When surgery can be a life-saving intervention for chronic pain
    🔹 How family advocacy can change outcomes when medicine says “no”

    Why This Story Matters? :

    ✅For Patients: A reminder that sometimes chronic pain has a treatable cause.
    ✅For Families: Proof that persistence and advocacy can save lives.
    ✅For Professionals: A case that challenges long-held medical dogma.

    The Breakthrough Moment:

    Within 24 hours of surgery, Alex felt something he thought was impossible: freedom from pain. Today, 14 months later, he’s fencing competitively, heading to college, and living without the shadow of CRPS.

    This isn’t just a medical story — it’s a story of hope, resilience, and questioning the limits of conventional wisdom.

    👉 If you or someone you know has been told to “live with chronic pain,” don’t miss this episode.

    In this week's episode, I sit down with Dr. Emily Rowe to unpack POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) – a condition that's affecting millions but remains dramatically underdiagnosed.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    🔹 The simple 20-minute test any doctor can use to diagnose POTS — no expensive equipment required
    🔹 Why 80% of patients are women, and how hormones and neurology intersect
    🔹 The surprising role of the Vagus nerve, chronic infections, and that “out-of-body” feeling
    🔹 Real treatment options beyond symptom-masking — from salt supplementation to hidden pitfalls like intermittent fasting
    🔹 Root causes mainstream medicine overlooks: mold toxicity, viral triggers like Coxsackie virus, and more
    🔹 Patient stories — including one woman nearly prescribed antipsychotics before her correct diagnosis

    Why It Matters?

    If you’ve been shuffled between specialists, collecting diagnoses that don’t quite fit, or feeling dismissed by the medical system, this episode will validate your experience and give you actionable next steps.

    👉 POTS isn’t rare. It’s rarely diagnosed correctly.

  • Vagus Nerve Device for Rheumatoid Arthritis | Dr. Kevin Tracey | S7 - E5
    Sep 1 2025

    After 18 years of research and hundreds of millions invested, the FDA has just approved the first bioelectronic device to treat rheumatoid arthritis — without dangerous immunosuppressive drugs.

    In this week’s episode of Pod of Inquiry, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Tracey, the “father of bioelectronic medicine,” to explore a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

    In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
    🔹 How a stroke research accident led to one of the biggest medical breakthroughs of our time
    🔹 Why current drug-based treatments may be the wrong approach to autoimmune disease
    🔹 The staggering demand: 20,000+ patients applied for just 242 trial spots
    🔹 Why some patients are choosing a 1-hour surgery over a lifetime of $100K biologics
    🔹 The revolutionary multivitamin-sized device that works in just 1 minute per day

    Dr. Tracey explains how the Vagus nerve acts as the body’s “brakes” on inflammation, and how his SetPoint Medical device restores balance by reducing inflammatory cytokines by 50–70% — without shutting down your immune system.

    And this is just the beginning. Clinical trials are underway for:
    ✅ Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis
    ✅ Multiple sclerosis (with surprising remyelination effects)
    ✅ Psoriatic arthritis
    ✅ Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s

    Why This Matters ?:
    ➡️Patients are achieving complete remission and stopping all medications.

    ➡️Treatment works with your biology, not against it.➡️Potential to reverse disease damage, not just slow it down.

    This conversation will fundamentally change how you think about inflammation, autoimmunity, and the future of medicine.

    👉 Don’t miss this groundbreaking episode. The future of medicine isn’t in new drugs — it’s in decoding the electrical language your body already speaks.
