How does it work for MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

Over the last few years we have seen a number of people who report impressive results when using the Lightning Process (LP) for MS.

Why LP might be considered as an option for MS

• The sclerotic lesions, that are considered to be the cause and the key diagnostic factor of MS, seem to be relatively unchanged during both the good and bad phases of the illness.
• This supports the idea that the lesions themselves can’t be the only factors involved in the expression of the disease and that that there must be some other variables at work that mediate the strength of the symptoms. Is it possible to affect any of these other factors using the LP? One of these suggested factors is called the Physical Emergency Response (PER), which is explained in the section below. Learning to affect this response is one of the main goals of the LP training.

• There is debate as to whether MS is a neurological or immunological condition, but as the LP has already had good results with illnesses caused by dysfunctions in both these systems, this seems to be a good indicator that there is a possibility of making changes with MS too.

Physical Emergency Response (PER)

When ever the body senses a threat, for example;

Breaking a leg
Eating ‘bad’ food
Emotional shock

It produces the PER to find a way to recover or stay safe. It does this by switching on:

Sympathetic Nervous System
Production of the powerful hormones adrenaline, nor adrenaline, dopamine, cortisol and DHEA.

This is exactly what needs to happen to help us deal with the threat, affecting our muscles and nervous system. The problem comes when we keep on switching this system on, because this leads to problems with the way our immune system works (which is the system for healing the body) and changes the way our nerve cells work.

The precise and detailed pathophysiology of MS is still being debated yet unclear. However the immune and nervous systems are considered to be the systems most likely to be causing the illness. Since the PER certainly causes an alteration of proper immune function and changes neurological functioning, it is a very important suspect in the search for factors which influence the disease processes.

What’s covered on the course?

The Lightning Process three day seminar is an interactive journey of discovery that takes approximately 12 hours to unfold and is designed to teach you:

1. About the PER and what happens if it is constantly switched on.

2. How to Spot when the PER is occurring

3. How to Calm the PER through specific steps using of movement, posture, coaching. These steps are not vigorous or physically demanding and can be tailored to meet the capabilities of even the most debilitated clients.

4. How to make this change to your physiology permanent by practicing the steps so that they become automatic, leading to health and well being.

We’ve made a short film to explain more about the content of each day, it also shows Phil Parker teaching a seminar.

Can Anyone Learn It?

It has been designed to be simple enough for anyone to use. We’ve trained a wide range of people aged between 7 and 87; including those confined to bed, as well as those working full time, with a variety of symptoms including fatigue/heat sensitivity/dizziness/loss of balance, for example.

Always seek medical advice from your GP – LP practitioners are not medical professionals and cannot diagnose or give medical advice to clients.
