How Does the Nervous System Work When Using a Bioresonance Scan?

The Nervous System was a trending topic in 2023, especially on social media, which left many clients wondering how does the nervous system work?
T
he Nervous System is a complex network of cells and fibres that regulate and coordinate the body’s actions. The brain and the Nervous System communicate to the rest of the body through nerve cells, or neurons.

Think of the Nervous System as a command centre. 

It communicates with every corner of the body, guiding everything from the most basic reflexes to the most complex cognitive processes. The Nervous System also has two main branches: the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. 

In essence, the Nervous System is the body’s communication highway. 

Through this highway, messages are sent from one part of the body to another, enabling us to respond to our environment and ensuring our survival. This communication network is so efficient that it often works without our conscious awareness.

The Nervous System is an exciting, dynamic field of study. It presents a wide array of challenges and opportunities for researchers, nutritionists, functional medicine doctors, and educators alike. 

How Does The Nervous System Work: A Closer Look

The Nervous System is incredibly complex, with many layers of organization and regulation. It consists of billions of neurons, each capable of making thousands of connections with other neurons. These connections form intricate networks that enable the vast array of functions the Nervous System performs.

Did you know your brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons? (1)

Like any other system in the body, common conditions like migraines and sleep disorders might be linked to the Nervous System, directly and indirectly. Migraines plague people due to other reasons, including food triggers, or food sensitivities, head and neck posture, stress, and hormonal imbalances related to the menstrual cycle and  PMS.

Neurological disorders can have a profound impact on a person’s quality of life, affecting their ability to move, speak, remember, or even think clearly. They can also have significant emotional and psychological effects, leading to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and depression.

How does the Nervous System work with pain? Parts of the pain response are also linked to the Nervous System. Neural pathways interpret and transmit information through the peripheral nervous system to the central and autonomic parts of the Nervous System. This is called nociception. This is the way that the potential for tissue damage gets relayed to the brain (2).

The perception and feeling of pain involves many factors, including emotions, inflammation and can be so individual. Someone who orders a bioresonance test with CBH Energetics can look to their Locomotor System, and to their Nervous System, to look for any bioenergetic stress affecting joints, or connective tissue. 

How Does the Nervous System Work: Anatomy, First.

The nervous system is divided into two main parts: The Central Nervous System (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), comprising all the nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body. These two components work together to keep us alive, alert, and capable of interacting with our environment.

Many CBH Full Scans show stress in the Nervous System Dial. The notes section may also show points like the CNS and PNS (central and peripheral nervous system) along with the governing vessel.

The CNS receives, processes, and interprets sensory information, then sends out instructions to the rest of the body. The brain, the most complex organ in the body, is responsible for our thoughts, emotions, memory, speech, and the coordination of our movements.

Those thoughts and emotions can influence many different systems of the body, especially the Digestive System! This is why we have paired nutritional imbalances with our emotional scan, the Awareness Scan, because of the gut-brain axis. 

If you have digestive issues, paying attention to your nervous system is key.

The PNS, on the other hand, acts as the communication lines between the CNS and the rest of the body. It includes the sensory nerves, which carry information from the body to the CNS, and the motor nerves, which transmit instructions from the CNS to the muscles, organs, and glands.

How does the Nervous System Work: Function, Second

The nervous system performs a multitude of functions vital to our existence. It regulates our bodily functions, facilitates communication between various parts of the body, including other body systems. This includes:

  • The Nervous System + Endocrine System: there is a feedback loop between both systems that regulate thyroid hormones, sex hormones and stress hormones.
  • The Nervous System + Digestive System: besides the gut-brain axis, when the Nervous System senses a threat, digestion will be halted, blood is sent to the brain and muscles for running and thinking as part of survival. The body prioritizes survival over digestion, and fertility.
  • The Nervous System + Cardiovascular System: the Nervous System sends signals to the Cardiovascular System. and the Cardiovascular system sends nutrients to the Nervous System via circulation.

This is where we may ask if constipation is a digestive issue or a Nervous System issue!

In addition to these basic functions, the nervous system also plays a key role in higher-level processes like learning, memory, and emotion. It’s responsible for our ability to think, reason, and make decisions. It allows us to form memories and recall them later, to learn from our experiences, and to feel a wide range of emotions.

The Nervous System is involved in executive functions and carrying out mental tasks, some of which come hard to those with complex trauma and attention issues. 

The Nervous System also plays a significant role in maintaining our body’s homeostasis. It regulates our heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and metabolism to ensure these vital parameters remain within a healthy range.

How does the Nervous System Work with Your Daily Activities?

Every action, thought, and feeling we experience in our daily lives can be traced back to the Nervous System. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed at night, our nervous system is continuously at work. Think of the sleep/wake cycle, and circadian rhythm. This is related to the Nervous System, and if you suffer from sleeplessness, supporting your Nervous System is important. 

CBH Full Scan Report Hint: look for low melatonin, or pituitary and pineal stress on your report, if you suffer from sleeplessness, and have Nervous System Stress. 

When we wake up, it’s our Nervous System (and our Endocrine System) that transitions us from a state of sleep to wakefulness. As we go about our day, it coordinates our movements, enables us to perceive our surroundings, triggers digestion, automatic body processes and allows us to react appropriately to changes in our environment.

Even seemingly simple tasks like brushing our teeth, making a cup of coffee, or driving to work all require the precise coordination and communication between different parts of the nervous system. As we perform these tasks, our nervous system is constantly processing sensory information, making decisions, and sending out instructions to our muscles.

How does the Nervous System Work with Your Emotions?

Our nervous system plays a pivotal role in our emotional experience. It is intimately involved in generating our emotions, regulating our mood, and shaping our emotional responses to various situations. Even though we are not testing aspects of the Nervous System on an Awareness Scan, we are looking for nutritional imbalances that relate to the Nervous System.

Some energetic nutritional imbalances related to the Nervous System could be:

  1. Amino Acids:
    1. Alanine supports the CNS (2).
    2. Valine: supports the gut-brain connection.
    3. Glycine: insomnia and headaches.
    4. Glutamic Acid: stimulates neurons.
    5. Phenylalanine: supports mood and the CNS.
  2. Minerals:
    1. Calcium: supports nerve conduction.
    2. Chromium: memory, anxiety, and blood sugar swings, which affect the Nervous System.
    3. Iron:  this mineral is needed for brain development, and may significantly contribute to behavioral organization (3).
  3. Vitamins:
    1. Thiamine, or Vitamin B1: mood swings and nerve cell function.
    2. Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2 may support migraine sufferers.
    3. Choline: needed for fatty acid transport
    4. Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5: helps to make energy, and the brain, where emotions originate uses 20% of all energy of the body.

When we experience an emotion, it’s our Nervous System that generates the physical sensations associated with that emotion. It’s also responsible for our emotional responses, whether it’s the quickening of our heartbeat when we’re excited, the butterflies in our stomach when we’re nervous, or the tears that well up when we’re sad.

The Nervous System helps with creating balanced health between positive and negative emotions, allowing us to experience a wide range of feelings while still maintaining a generally stable mood.

How does the Nervous System Work With Your Physical Health?

The health of our Nervous System is closely tied to our overall physical health. It regulates our vital functions like heartbeat, breathing, digestion, and immune response, ensuring our bodies function optimally. If you have digestive issues, or Digestive Stress on your CBH Full Scan, supporting the Nervous System is imperative. 

Chemicals and metals can have an impact on the Nervous System. An example is lead, which displaces calcium in the reactions that transmit electrical impulses in the brain. There can be links to minerals on your bioenergetic test results and to the metals that come up in the environmental toxins section. 

There are simple tips to support any body system, and the Nervous System is no different. 

Physical activity improves heart health, along with brain health. Watching alcohol and recreational drug intake prevents Nervous System damage, and sleep helps the Nervous System with drainage and repair through the glymphatic system.

The glymphatic system is part of the lymph drainage system of the brain.

 

Top Bioenergetic Takeaways for Nervous System Health

We’ve mentioned physical activity and sleep for the health of the Nervous System. A balanced diet rich in nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B-vitamins, and antioxidants can help support the health of the Nervous System.

While fatty fish is good for brain and Nervous System health, there can be an overload of heavy metals, especially mercury, in fish. Try to rotate the types of fish you eat, and pair this with sulfur rich foods, and herbs like parsley, to support binding and elimination of metals. 

Managing stress is also crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system. There are different types of stress that can affect the body:

  • Microbial stress: if you have any gut microbiome imbalance, this can affect the Nervous System through the Gut-Brain Axis. 
  • Blood sugar imbalances: this can cause inflammation, and stress the Nervous System. 
  • Emotional stress: anxious thoughts keep us in the stressed state of the Nervous System.
  • Environmental stress: the air we breathe, the water we drink, contains environmental toxins that can affect the Nervous System.

These can seem like a lot to manage. This is where the beauty of supporting body systems fits in! When you manage stress in one system, like microbial stress in the Digestive System, you help other systems.

When you support the Liver and its natural detoxification processes, you mitigate Nervous System stress. The liver requires many nutrients and antioxidants to move through its 2 phases of detoxification, especially if it is clearing heavy metals which have a huge impact on the Nervous System. 

When you work with emotional triggers, and create more emotional calm in the body, you are decreasing stress hormones, and inflammation, while creating an environment for a healthier Nervous System. 

All of this can have a positive impact on cognition, circulation, and tissue health for the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves.
