POTS
is specifically a neurotoxin disorder. The neurotoxins are created by
the virus called Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) sitting in the liver for a
long period of time. This specific
variety of EBV produces neurotoxins that float around and swell up the
nerves, preventing you from exercising and causing brain fog. The
liver’s job is to push blood up to the heart; however, if the
bloodstream is full of neurotoxins, the heart will have to work much
harder than normal, which is part of what makes you lightheaded when you
stand up. The heart has to work so much harder in someone who has POTS
because poison is saturating the liver. The poison not only goes into
the bloodstream, but it also goes into the nerves and inflames them.
