Anne was a Norwegian mother of two who was thirty nine years old. She suffered a virus in 1999 and never completely recovered. Initially Anne was diagnosed with post viral syndrome (PVFS). Over time this developed into M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), sometimes known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She developed a sensitivity to sound and light. She also suffered with extreme fatigue, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and Insomnia.
Due to the brain fog she was suffering the years seemed to drift by in haze. Anne was tested for many other health complaints by her doctor, all with a negative result. She was offered CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), graded exercise and pacing. Nothing gave her relief or helped her condition. Anne searched for and tried alternative approaches which included acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy, herbalism, as well as many others. Some helped in the short term, but nothing seemed to last.
Anne was now suffering a lot of physical pain. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. All that was on offer were painkillers and anti-depressants. In year nine Anne read in the paper about a Norwegian ME sufferer who had traveled to the U.K. for a training programme called the Phil Parker Lightning Process. She came across stories on the Internet of more ME/CFS sufferers who were now completely well. After taking this training their health had turned around rapidly, hence the name -- The Lightning Process.
Anne could not accept that these people had been suffering in the same way she was. This was such a physical illness, affecting most of her bodily systems -- how could a training programme help? More recovery stories appeared in the Norwegian press throughout the year. Anne then decided to pursue this approach for herself. She'd heard that some U.K. practitioners were running Lightning Process courses in Norway. This was when Anne contacted me, six weeks before the ME/CFS recovery course was scheduled to take place in Oslo.
I informed Anne that in the recovery course, I included a number of other valuable techniques along with the Lightning Process. Anne started straight away with some of the self-help resources from my website. These are all easy ways in which to start to re-train the nervous system. Anne also downloaded the free relaxation mp3 produced for ME/CFS sufferers.
The self-help included self-applied acu-pressure or tapping techniques along with focused breathing practices. By using these simple techniques, Anne was able to reduce the intensity of her symptoms and increase her energy levels. The guided relaxation assisted her to deeply relax which helped with her sleep. Although these alone weren't likely to be an ME/CFS cure, Anne felt hopeful as she learnt to improve her condition, when for so long she had felt helpless.
Anne learnt The Lightning Process and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) when she took part in the Optimum Energy Training Course. The training was on three consecutive days, with four hours of training each day. She felt a significant change on day one, as the brain fog that she was experiencing had finally gone. There was work to be done and it wasn't all easy for her, but Anne persisted, She practiced with all that she had learned. She had made huge changes by the end of the third day and she knew that she had the tools and know-how to get 100% better.
I did some coaching over the telephone with Anne after the course. Anne was doing better as each day passed, her symptoms were fading and energy was increasing. For the next month She continued to work on her stamina and fitness until she was completely healthy. This kind of transformation is what we regularly see with people using this approach, even though Anne's story might sound too good to be true. This training isn't right for everbody. People need to be ready and prepared to commit to short-term work that is necessary. For those people who are, the results can be quite remarkable, as Anne discovered.
