Anne was a thirty nine year old Norwegian mother of two. In 1999 she suffered a virus, from which she didn't fully recover. Anne developed post viral syndrome (PVFS), which gradually evolved into M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Her main symptoms were relentless fatigue, Insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) along with sensitivity to light and sound.
The years drifted by in a haze due to the brain fog she was suffering. Anne was tested for most other health conditions by the doctor, all results came back negative. She tried CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), graded exercise and pacing. Nothing improved her condition or gave her any relief. Anne looked into alternative approaches and tried acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy, herbalism amongst others. She got some short term improvement but nothing lasted.
After suffering a lot of physical pain Anne was was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The doctor offered her painkillers and anti-depressants. In year nine of the illness, Anne heard of a fellow sufferer from Norway who had traveled to the U.K. to be trained in a programme named the Phil Parker Lightning Process. She came across more stories on the Internet of ME/CFS sufferers who were now well. They had rapidly turned their health around after taking part in this training. The speed of recovery being reflected in the name -- The Lightning Process.
Anne thought that these people could not have been suffering in the same way she was. Most of her bodily systems were affected and the illness was so physical - how could this be cured by a training programme? In the Norwegian papers, more recovery stories appeared throughout the year. Anne decided that she had to try The Lightning Process. She discovered that certain U.K. practitioners were running Lightning Process courses in Norway. Anne contacted me six weeks before the ME/CFS recovery course in Oslo.
I explained to Anne, that as well as being a Lightning Process practitioner, I also include a number of other techniques within the recovery course. I suggested she started straight away with some self-help techniques. These are all designed to start to re-train the nervous system. Anne downloaded the necessary information from my website along with the free relaxation recording provided for ME/CFS sufferers.
Anne used self-applied tapping or acu-pressure techniques as well as focused breathing exercises as part of the self-help. She learnt to reduce the intensity of her symptoms and increase her energy with these simple daily practices. Her sleeping improved after listening to the guided relaxation recording. These techniques weren't necessarily going to cure the ME/CFS, but Anne felt hopeful as she learnt how to influence her condition, after feeling helpless for such a long time.
During The Optimum Energy Training Course Anne learnt The Lightning Process and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). The training was for four hours of each day over three days. There was a significant change on day one of the training when the brain fog that she was so used to had finally left her. It wasn't all easy for her and Anne realized that she had to put the work in to get the results she wanted. She spent time practicing all that she had been taught. By the end of the third day she knew that she had the tools and know-how to get 100% better.
I followed up Anne after the course with some coaching over the telephone. Anne was doing really well, her symptoms were fading and energy increasing as each day passed. She continued to work on her stamina and fitness for the next month until she was completely well. Anne's story might sound too good to be true, but this kind of transformation is what we regularly see with people using this approach. This strategy isn't necessarily right for all. You need to be ready and prepared to commit to the necessary short-term work. For people who are, the results of applying the training, as they were for Anne, can be quite remarkable.
