A WellnessWizdom™ Discourse

Neuro-Sensory Brain Stimulating Activators by WellnessWiz Jack Tips

In 2013, Dr. Datis Kharrizian published, “Why Isn’t My Brain Working?” In it, he presented information from the Carrick Institute that teaches the proven methods of Dr. F.R. Carrick1 about “neuro-activation” – methods to wake up the brain. These methods helped Peyton Manning’s career (and into the Super Bowl) and have helped thousands of people recovery from neurological damage. Here are applications of Dr. Carrick’s insights applied to “at home” techniques that help people quickly engage their brains’ normal, natural self- and body-regulatory activities. This includes oversight on immune regulation of the Psycho-Biome (the bi-directional communications between the gut-microbes and the brain) and their impact on cellular metabolic function.

Use It Or Lose It There is a name for when the brain forgets to do things such as have regular bowel movements, keep muscles strong, maintain a consistently rhythmic heartbeat, and oversee body maintenance. It’s not “Planned Senescence” or “Senior Moments” or even “The Absent-Minded Professor,” it’s Sensory Motor Amnesia. Such forgetfulness happens when the neuro-stimulatory communications (neurological pathways, neurotransmitter cascades) of certain activities declines and the brain’s attention focuses on the oft-used busy superhighway functions and neglects the cow-trails. Often used, smooth-running neuro pathways claim the lion’s share of neuro-supportive nutrients, make generous amounts of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, the chemical energy of life), employ efficient use of glutathione and antioxidants, and avoid glial cell inflammation detours. The neglected by-ways can become disconnected, poorly maintained, and literally forgotten body processes. In the human body, “neglect” is synonymous with a decline in ATP energy and that can quickly become mitochondrial dysfunction which is the new buzzword for the gateway to cognitive decline, age-related muscle loss, and aberrant cellular metabolic behaviors. Note: Savvy doctors know that cancer is a metabolic, not genetic, disease. In 2015, I hosted a Clinical Study of 30 people with inveterate constipation and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). In the study, we employed neuro-activation exercises plus two herbal formulations with noteworthy findings. [See box on right.] Bi-Directional Communication, Conversational Evolution Much is said about the “Gut-Brain Connection,” but that’s only half the story. A “connection” implies a response, hence the reciprocal “Brain-Gut Connection.” The communications between the intestinal microbiota and the brain, and the brain back to the intestinal microbiota, are “bi-directional” – an actual conversation. This is the Intestinal Psycho-Biome’s influence that impacts the brain, immune system, and cellular metabolic activities.

Here, we’ll capitalize on what happens when the brain is neurologically engaged with twice-daily exercises that tickle the brain and vagus nerve to re-engage their jobs of helping the brain regulate the autonomic body functions.

For one example, people with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) often have their brains fail to regulate proper motility. Chronic constipation can predispose people toward SIBO. For a variety of reasons (diet, inflammatory foods; low magnesium intake, overuse of laxatives, emotional stress; Rx antibiotic, antidepressant, and opiate use; lax illeocecal valve; etc.) much of SIBO occurs because the immune system fails to regulate microbial relationships. There is a phase of SIBO where rapid transit (loose, watery, lienteric stools) occur when the brain is attempting to down-regulate the overgrowth. Eventually there can be inveterate constipation which is akin to the brain putting it’s fingers in its ears and saying, “La, la, la, la, la,” really loud.

These exercises are designed to re-gain the brain, nerve, muscles, and immune system’s better efforts to regulate the body’s innate activities. You have several exercises here, so please do not feel forced into doing one that you don’t want to do. The best choice is to rotate through these exercises, one each day, as each one works on a different brain connection with different intensities. The one you are most comfortable with might be the least effective for you that very reason—you are comfortable and familiar with it. So plan on doing them all, and if it’s just too much for you, then simply substitute another one. The most popular method is singing loudly. But if you are already an avid singer in the choir, perform backup vocals for Mick Jagger on tour, or appear regularly at Carnegie Hall; then singing is not going to be something new and enlivening. But if you don’t sing a lot, here’s your chance to prepare for American Idol and loosen those pipes up in the shower. Exercise 1.

Singing A Happy Song Boldly With Operatic Volume. This will bring a whole new dimension to fun in the shower or the drive to work for many of us. Pick a fun and easy song that you know. Beware: “It’s a Small World After All” can become irreversibly get stuck in your head. So can “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” “Faniculi Fanicula,” “Bingo,” “Valerie, Valera,” and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” So get your playlist ready and belt it out … loudly with authority, affectedly with feeling! To avoid bodily injury from a family member, please find a private time, if not in the shower, then in the car? Generally, the more you don’t want to sing or the more you’re afraid to open up and sing, the more you’ll benefit from this simple exercise . Singing Instructions:

Choose an uplifting song to sing. Make it happy and fun. Adopt a theatrical presence and just belt it out, loudly, with all the authority you can muster. 3-5 minutes, twice a day on singing days.

Homework: Listen to “Rolling Stone From Texas” by Don Walser (you’ll be amazed and hopefully laugh out loud), and for a truly liberating experience, listen to “Chuncho” by Yma Sumac recorded in 1950 featuring the highest high note ever, and even singing two notes at once. They are on YouTube.


Exercise 2. Gargling. Aka: To wash one's mouth and throat with a liquid kept in motion by exhaling through it. This method has been researched for over 30 years via the Carrick Institute, thus it’s a tried-and-true method. Like singing loudly in the car or shower (or other location), this one is easy to do in the shower or at the bathroom sink. A strong and enthusiastic gargling episode sends signals directly to the vagus nerve via the gargle muscles with a message, albeit garbled, that is interpreted as a wake up call re-engagement of the brain/nerve function.

Some people will experience lacrimation (tearing of the eyes) during this process. Gargle Instructions: Take a full glass of pure water and gargle your way through each sip. Fine to swallow the water as part of your daily water intake. Gargle with enthusiasm and push your limits. This technique works when you gargle outside your comfort zone, e.g. amount of time. Twice a day on gargle days. Exercise 3.

Yogic Breathing – like gargling, deep-belly breathing as practiced in pranayama exercises helps enliven the brain and reestablish better brain regulation of intestinal motility. Again, if you are already a yogi and already do deep breath-work, you’d best pick a new exercise for neuro-activation. But if you’re not a yogi, then this deep breathing technique will bring welcome relaxation, opening of the lungs, and oxygenation of the brain. You can also experiment with various other pranayama breathing techniques as you advance. Here’s the most simple and basic one to get the job done.

Yogic Breathing Instructions. Lie flat on your back and close your eyes. Place your right hand on your abdomen and keep your left hand resting at your side. Relax your whole body. Inhale deeply through your nose and feel your abdomen rise and expand. When you've inhaled as full as you can, (belly balloon) pause, and then exhale completely through your nose. Repeat the exercise. Do 10 deep breaths to start and increase to 20 as able. When finished, roll onto your right side before pushing up to a seated position. Twice a day on yogic breathing days. Pause during inhalation and exhalations keeping the throat soft and relaxing the entire body, Keep your breath smooth and regular throughout the exercise, The exhalation should take twice as long as the inhalation.

Exercise 4.

Gagging. The “retching reflex” or “gag reflex” strongly stimulates the vagus nerve. Use a tongue depressor to the back of throat and gag. Please avoid jabbing your tender throat with a toothbrush handle, acrylic nail, or the tongue depressor. Get wooden tongue depressors at the grocery store. Beyond gargling, gagging is an even stronger wake-up call to initiate better neuro-regulation when it’s become dulled. Not as much fun, but it’s a powerful innate response that engages massive self-regulatory processes. A good gagging involves the esophagus and even the stomach, so best to do

this exercise on an empty stomach. After a good gag (oxymoron?), it’s okay to rest shortly before repeating. Sometimes repeating a gag quickly engages a stronger reaction and this is good. Some


people may experience emotional release with this exercise. If this happens, please sigh, release, and claim new-found freedom. Gagging Instructions. Gently lay the tongue depressor on the back of your tongue, then firmly press down. This will initiate the body’s “retching reflex” called “gagging” and an instinctive muscle contraction will occur. Kindly note that you are NOT jabbing the back of your throat. Do five gags to start and build up to ten. Exercise 5.

Coffee Enemas – can help reestablish intestinal motility via the gastrointestinal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors [nAChR— neuron receptor proteins that signal for muscular contraction upon a chemical stimulus] as well as their impact on the brain. Plus they stimulate a good liver/gall bladder cleansing. Supplies For Coffee Enemas: • Enema Kit - 2-quart enema bag. (From grocery store, or Amazon, etc.) • Organic Coffee – Any brand of organic, regular

coffee. Do not use decaffeinated coffee. Do not use instant coffee. Just good ole organic coffee, medium roast, dark roast, etc. Do not used flavored coffees, e.g. Swiss almond vanilla mocha, extra foam with a macchiato stain. Preparation 1. Place 2 to 3 cups of purified water and two to three tablespoons of ground organic coffee in a saucepan and bring to a boil (or use a coffee maker). Let it boil 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool to body temperature. 2. Let it cool to body temperature (98.6° F, 37° Celsius). Body-temp coffee is the right temperature for an enema. Avoid the Goldilocks Effect—too cold and the coffee constricts, too hot and it burns. If the coffee is too hot or too cold, retaining the enema will be more difficult. Strain the coffee through a fine strainer or coffee filter paper so it does not clog the holes in the enema speculum nozzle, and pour it into the enema bag. Screw the top on the enema bag. The enema is now ready. 3. Be sure the plastic hose is pushed or fastened well onto the enema bag and the long, thin enema tip is attached to the other end 4. Remove air from the enema tube the following way. Grasp but do not close the clamp on the hose. Place the tip in the sink. Hold up the enema bag above the tip until the coffee begins to flow out. Giving Yourself The Coffee Enema

Position. Most people prefer the lying on their backs on a towel position. This can be done in a large bathtub or on the bathroom floor. Others prefer to lie on their right side. Some choose genupectoral which is on their knees, head on the floor or a pillow. Be comfortable and able to control the process.

Elevate The Bag. With the clamp closed, hang the bag about one to two feet above your body. The higher the bag, the greater the force of the coffee through the nozzle.

Lubricate The Speculum Nozzle. Apply some coconut, butter, or olive oil to the nozzle and to yourself to minimize friction.

Insert The Speculum Nozzle. Insert the tip very gently and slowly. Position it until it goes in all the way. You are moving it past your external and internal anal sphincters. This will help prevent leakage.

Open The Clamp. Open the clamp and let the coffee flow. The coffee may take a few seconds to begin flowing. If the coffee does not flow, you may gently squeeze the bag. If you feel uncomfortable, you can pinch the clamp and stop the flow. Wait a few seconds, recover, then proceed.


Fill’er Up. When all the coffee is inside, the bag will become flat. Close the clamp. You can leave

the tube inserted, or remove it slowly. Retain The Coffee for 10-12 minutes. You may remain lying on the floor. Massage your abdomen

counterclockwise to help the coffee move further up the colon. Use the time to read a book, think about how amazing the human body is and all the crazy things one does in the name of health, etc. Be comfy. Because it’s easy to succumb to sudden urges to evacuate, it is not recommended to get up or walk around on your lovely carpet. (Not the time to answer the door.)

Finish. After 8-10 minutes, go to the toilet and empty out the coffee. It is okay if some remains inside. [The gut microbiome may enjoy a cuppa java.]

Wash Equipment. Wash the insertion nozzle thoroughly in warm, soapy water. You can cleanse it with hydrogen peroxide as well. Rinse the enema bag and tube thoroughly.

Helpful Tips J ü Best Time. Morning after a bowel movement or do a “pre-coffee” cleansing water enema. This will

clear the way for the coffee to have its beneficial impact. ü Coffee Jitters? Reduce the amount of coffee. Rectally applied coffee should not cause jitters.

Research suggests that a little jitters is a sign of a strong neuro-activation, but if you are sensitive to coffee and it causes uncomfortable jitters (some people have genetic/epigenetic reactions to coffee because it’s a therapeutic herb), please make it weaker next time. Note: If you struggle with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), check with your doctor and expect that you’ll be told, “What? Put what where? Really? No, don’t do that.” Please follow your doctor’s advice.

ü Hypoglycemic? The enema may lower your blood sugar. If so, eat something just before or after taking the enema.

ü Patience. Be patient. Practice makes perfect. You can qualify for your Master Enema Certificate after eight solo successful enemas. Suitable for framing, but then again …

Benefits To Help Inspire You!

Toxin Elimination. The major benefit of the coffee enema according to Dr. Max Gerson, “… is to enhance elimination of toxins through the liver.” Indeed, endoscopic studies confirm they increase bile output. A patient was given a coffee enema while an endoscope monitored the entrance to the common bile duct. Within minutes of administering the enema, bile flow increased. Increased bile flow removes toxins, alkalinizes the small intestines, and promotes improved digestion. Bowel Cleansing. Coffee also acts as an astringent in the

large intestine, helping clean the colon walls. If food is not digested properly, sugars ferment, fats rancidify, and protein putrefies. Stimulates Normal Liver & Gall Bladder Function. Coffee enemas are particularly helpful for people with slow metabolic processes. Their liver activity is more sluggish and digestion is usually impaired. Note: if you are “pathological detoxifier, e.g. a person whose Phase One Liver Detoxification processes exceed what Phase Two can handle, then please go easy with the coffee enemas at first. They activate Phase One as their mechanism of supporting liver detox. You can support Phase Two with methylfolate, methyl-B12, and glutathione, so it can better handle its duties.

Note: never take Folic Acid. It’s a synthetic vitamin and has dangerous reactions with Monsanto’s RoundUp pesticide that is showing up in breast milk and infants’ bodies. Dr. Stephanie Seneff of Massachusetts Institute of Technology has published on the dire dangers of Folic Acid, often recommended to pregnant and/or anemic women or in men’s formula targeting hair growth. Always use Folate, Folinic Acid and/or 5-Formyl Tetrahydrofolate Methylfolate, never Folic Acid.


Build Brain-Gut Axis Function— By building the brain via nutritional support and activating sluggish neuro-pathways, coffee enemas exercise the both gut-brain and the brain-gut “bidirectional” communications. Summary As more people engage Neuro-Activation exercises to “turn on” their lost and sluggish normal functions, we find the importance of restoring the gut-brain/brain-gut Psycho-Biome as a necessary factor to restore better metabolic activities, build muscles, and improve both mood and cognitive ability. The message to Baby Boomers is to keep active with a variety of exercises for muscle input to the brain. Aging and sedentary lifestyles both contribute to neuro-amnesia, and Science now shows us that people can maintain healthy bodies into the far elder years. But first, it makes excellent sense to support the Psycho-Biome with specific probiotic and prebiotic supplements to ensure the Psycho-Biome species are present and communicative. Such nutritive support coupled with neuro-activation activities can enliven ‘sluggish and dormant’ brain processes and roll back the aging clock for more youthful vitality.
