The single most important factor for healing damaged nerves

Everything we see, feel and sense in the world around us is communicated through our nervous system. So it goes that changes to our nervous system have an immediate impact on how we experience the world. And it can be especially challenging when there's damage to our peripheral nerves (eg Guillain Barre Syndrome). Movement becomes disrupted. Pain, numbness and tingling also commonly impact one's way of life.

Restoring these functions is by far most enabled by bringing energy back into the nerves. And that is the job of the powerplants of our cells, the mitochondria, which is a part of every cell in the body, producing energy for the cell. These vitally important parts of the cell can become particularly damaged from viral infections and the immune attack that removes the viral infection.

Nerves that send pain/numbness/tingling signals have poor mitochondrial function. Nerves that cause muscle weakness due to damaged myelin ( eg Guillain Barre Syndrome) have poor mitochondrial function. Mitochondria help to repair myelin. They keep the nerves healthy. And doing what we can to support mitochondrial function is key to restoring health.
