Welcome to this site which we hope will answer some of your questions about ME/CFS and the Lightning Process (LP). Having supported so many people with ME/CFS on their path to wellness we know how complicated finding solutions and answers can be; your local practitioner is there to support you as you find out more about the LP and will be very happy to answer any questions you may have.

There are many differing medical opinions as to the cause of ME/CFS including genetic, bacterial and viral infections, mitochondrial malfunction, physical and even emotional trauma.
And the names themselves that are variously used to describe it can be confusing.

We use the term ME/CFS as an 'umbrella term' to describe those and other closely linked conditions like PVFS (Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome). The reason for this is we have found that they often share common symptoms and have problems in similar body systems (e.g. immune, neurological, muscular). Most importantly, we find that they all respond equally well to the Lightning Process, with 81.3%* clients reporting that they no longer had CFS/ME by day three of the LP course.

So whether you have a clear diagnosis, or are unsure which one you have, this approach, which looks at what can be done to rebalance those body systems, could be right for you.

We are also working with the NHS on a pilot study which hopes to start in September.  The study is to see if it is possible to recruit young people as part of the validation process to see if LP works. The primary outcome is percentage of people recruited and retained in the study.  School attendance may be one of the other outcome measures used during the study.

Elaine's Feedback (CFS)

"I have suffered from CFS for over 20 years by varying degrees, with quite a major relapse for the past 2 years. I can't believe how well I have now become and able to do so many of the things I used to enjoy. When I have started to revert back to my old ways, Helen has been there for me and together we have got me back on track.

I have just returned from a skiing trip to Italy and managed to ski 4 out of the 6 days (last year I went but was unable to ski at all and even needed to use a wheelchair in the airport!)" Read Elaine's full story here

Katrina's feedback (CFS)

"Firstly I want to apologise for not keeping in touch and updating you with my progress until now, the problem is I've just been so busy! Since the course my life has changed dramatically.
I am now doing full days at school, which involves being up early and up to 5 hours of lessons in a day. Not only this but when I come home I am often going out to eat, socialising downstairs with my family and up until around 11! So I'm doing much more in a typical day and loving it." Read More

Due to the nature of the training we cannot guarantee results as everyone is different, however we have received a considerable amount of positive feedback from clients with the varied symptoms that many people with Chronic Pain experience.
