I'd had M.E. for five and a half years when I came across Phil Parker's Lightning Process in a book I was reading. The book detailed how it had been successful in "curing" two people of M.E.

Since being diagnosed with M.E., I've spent a lot of time, money and effort in searching for a cure. I've tried everything from conventional medicine, alternative therapies to the bizarre! Conventional medicine didn't help, although a supportive GP was invaluable. Reflexology, acupuncture, tai chi and psychotherapy worked for me but although I made good progress I couldn't seem to achieve full recovery no matter how dedicated I was.

When I booked my appointments with Phil, I was scared; if this didn't work, I felt I had nowhere left to go. I booked a two hours' session, followed by two one-hour sessions on consecutive days.

Before my first session with Phil I was having nine to ten hours of restless sleep a night, resting a lot of the day due to unrefreshing sleep, I had only enough energy to work a couple of hours a week for a local charity and avoided most social occasions due to fear of not being well enough. I was also fearful of pushing myself in case my symptoms worsened and spent most of my day anxious about being ill.

After the first session, I felt different. I was more self-confident and for the first time in five years I was confident that my body was going to fully recover, and I felt stronger. By the end of the second session, I was no longer feeling tired, or dizzy, and was able go for a long walk in the evening after a day spent walking round the city.

I left after my third session free of M.E. and committed to regaining my former physical strength and a life that I loved.

Taken just a month after our first session.

A week on from my first session, I'm walking 90 minutes a day, I'm doing two days a week voluntary work, I have attended a yoga class and two tai chi classes in the last three days, socialising with astonished friends and family who have been complimenting me on how well I look, along with shopping, cooking and housework.

I am sleeping eight hours of refreshing sleep a night and I'm happy and positive and life is fun and easy again. I could never have imagined how quickly and by how much the process could change things for me. I was sceptical before booking my appointments on how effective the process would be and I did think that it might not work for me - I was so wrong.

I know I will go from strength to strength and my goal now is to be fitter than I was previous to having M.E.

I can't thank Phil enough for teaching me how to reclaim my life.

My life continues to improve. I drove home from the train station on Thursday - the longest distance I have driven in four years (and in the dark). I spent all day Friday and Saturday driving around, going out for lunch, shopping etc.

Today I've been to do my voluntary work (worked yesterday), walked 2 hours and done a 2 hour Tai Chi class!

I'm so pleased. Thanks again.

It is 10 months to the day since I had my 1st session with Phil. Looking back, I hardly recognise the life I was living then and I'm truly thankful to Phil for the profound changes he has helped me make.

Over this time I have started two part-time jobs (working them both for the last 6 months), I started a college course 5 months ago, I exercise every day, I spend weekends socialising and I'm in the process of buying a house. 10 months ago even considering one of these things, I would have soun into a panic and yet now I am able to keep my life in balance for the first time.

After curing ME, I was curious to see what other changes I was able to make.

The changes I experienced as a result of using it on other issues I had was the most profound of all. I have changed at a fundamental level - I have achieved the change that I had always wanted but until I met Phil had no idea how I was going to achieve it. It has affected every area of my life. It has enhanced all the other changes I have made; it has enriched and continues to enrich my whole experience of life.

The great thing about how Phil works is that you can take it as far as you need/want to. The tools are there - you can decide what masterpiece you create!
 

When I was ill I promised myself once I'd fully recovered and I would live life to the full - here's me and my new hobby 18 months after our 1st session!
