Dr. King graduated with her doctorate degree in PT from Pacific University in 2003 with post-graduate training in orthopedic manual therapy and specializing in somatic movement and neuroscience. She was training using principles from Hanna Somatics, The Sarno Method, and other mind-body connection practices. Her advanced training has focused primarily on neuroplasticity based healing methods and limbic system rewiring programs. She's studied programs such as the Lightning Process, DNRS, Gupta Program, Joe Dispenza's Work, The Polyvagal Theory, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), PSYCH-K trained facilitator, HeartMath Training, NLP, Germanic Healing Knowledge, MAP Recode, Matrix Energetics, and Memory Repatterning. Her education is vast, and her personal healing experience outweighs anything she has read in a book. She brings evidence-based science, quantum energetics, and profound personal experiences together in her training and programs.

In this episode, I am excited to have Dr. Phil Parker, creator of The Lightning Process. The Lightning Process is a training programme that teaches people about the way the nervous system control the body, and empowers people with tools that involve gentle movement, meditation-like techniques and mental exercises, with the aim of teaching people how to switch on pathways to promote health and switch off the ones that are not serving you. In this episode, Phil and I discuss how the Lightning process started and developed, and what it is and what it involves, and practical ways you can incorporate the Lightning Process into your daily life. We also discuss the mind-body connection, and the importance of believing that recovery IS possible, and exposing yourself to positive recovery stories so that this becomes your inner conversation. We also cover the obstacles that could stand in people's way to recovery, perfectionism and how your inner critic can contribute to keeping you sick.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro1:36 - Phil Parker's life-changing accident and how this led him to discover the mind body connection6:11 - Being told that recovery isn't possible and the consequence of those kind of statements 7:19 - How Phil started working with people Chronic fatigue and ME 8:38 - How that led to the beginning of The Lightning Process and how it helped people with chronic fatigue9:03 - How this then led to working with people with ME10.48 - The Lightning Process and what it is and a breakdown of what it involves15:48 - Neuroplasticity and how you can use this in recovery16:45 - What are the obstacles that may hold someone back from recovering with something like the Lightning Process?21:58 - How it's about finding that ‘stuckness' and how to move past that23:35 - Perfectionism and your inner critic, and how the Lightning Process encourages coaching yourself compassionately 26:01 - How you can integrate The Lightning Process into your day 27:41 - The Lightning Process as an in-person process, and how it translates to online/zoom33:14 - How important is the belief that recovery is possible?41:31 - How disheartening it can be when you've tried a lot of things to get better and haven't recovered yet, and how it's important not to lose trust42:23 - How the Lightning Process is a training programme, and therefore works by teaching people the skills that other people have found useful, and supporting people through that45:19 - The Lightning Process success rates49:29 - How applicable the Lightning Process is to a range of different chronic conditions 54:13 - Phil's advice for someone who is progressing but is doing so slowly and is struggling to keep up the motivation55:04 - How it's so important to be seeking out inspirational stories and recovery stories, to bolster the belief that recovery is possible59:16 - Phil's advice to those in their darkest hours right now01:01:48 - Letting go of the idea that recovery has to be complicatedFOLLOW PHIL PARKER▶ Website - https://lightningprocess.com/▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lightningprocess▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drphilparkerFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL▶ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheChronicComeback▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechroniccomebackSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST▶ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-chronic-comeback/id1533970626▶ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_BGsN1LaeL4iudgSNUw7A▶ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/71485tI9o4JPPkg1IpmDaXRemember, the comeback is always greater than the setback

Bei ME/CFS gibt es die unterschiedlichsten Herangehensweisen, wie man diese Erkrankung behandeln kann. Ein Teil neben der biochemischen medizinischen Herangehensweise ist die Body-Mind-Verbindung, also die innere Einstellung und das Einwirken auf das autonome Nervensystem. In dieser Episode geht es um den Lightning Process, bei dem es hauptsächlich um eine geistige heilerische Methode geht.

Diese Episode ist sozusagen ein Vorgespräch, bevor wir dann in den umstrittenen Lightning-Process einsteigen und Gwendolin ihre Erfahrungen zu diesem Selbsthilfe-Programm teilt.

Dr Phil Parker, the Lightning Process's designer explores the research on how words affect your wellbeing and health. Fascinating listening for all those involved in healthcare and anyone interested in how they use these ideas to assist their own health journey.

Det har vært en varm dag med picnic-tur og mye forsikrings-research, men jeg har likevel hatt tid til å diskutere litt shaman Durek og Lightning Process på Twitter. I denne episoden tar jeg også en kikk på kontroversen rundt tilsetningsstoffet karragenan for å se om det egentlig er farlig? Og så snakker jeg litt om en grov feil i min siste bloggpost...Twitter-debatt om Shaman Durek.

Etter forrige episode hvor jeg svarte på noen spørsmål om Lightning Process og Live Landmark fra en anonym person på Twitter, har vedkommende skrevet en bloggpost med sine tanker om de siste podcastepisodene mine. Jeg tar for meg denne bloggposten i denne episode for å gi litt mer kontekst og svar til bloggeren. Jeg har også fått et lytterspørsmål om den nye frøolje-hypen og SoulSeeds, så jeg snakker en del om hva forskningen sier - og ikke sier - om dette. I tillegg blir det selvsagt litt prat om menneskeskyhet og fotoredigering.Edzard Ernst: The ‘Lightning Process': implausible, unproven, hyped and expensivehttps://edzardernst.com/2020/06/the-lightning-process-implausible-unproven-hyped-and-expensive/– Flere bør få kognitiv atferdsterapi mot ME, mener forsker(Bl.a. om hvor mange med "ME" som ikke egentlig har ME.)https://forskning.no/me/flere-bor-fa-kognitiv-atferdsterapi-mot-me-mener-forsker/1867188Kaneldryss: TJOMLID SNAKKER OM ME/CFS OG LP I PODCAST 286 OG 287 I MAI. 2022https://kaneldrysskurs.blogspot.com/2022/05/tjomlid-snakker-om-mecfs-og-lp-i.htmlwww.soulseeds.noThe truth about superfoodshttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/aug/29/truth-about-superfoods-seaweed-avocado-goji-berries-the-evidenceBlack Cumin – Be Skepticalhttps://sciencebasedmedicine.org/black-cumin-be-skeptical/VKM: Risk assessment of D-ribosehttps://vkm.no/english/riskassessments/allpublications/riskassessmentofdribose.4.66c32ee6174e35286fd46459.htmlSAKSYNT: Antioksidanter – en moderne helsemytehttps://tjomlid.com/2013/02/04/antioksidanter-en-moderne-helsemyte/

Etter forrige episode fikk jeg noen spørsmål om Lightning Process på Twitter som jeg forsøker å besvare i denne episoden. Jeg forteller også om min opplevelse som bryllupsfotograf i Geilo, om farlige alternativkonspier, og Jordan Peterson som har ditchet Twitter, om NRK som har ditchet Facebook, og om hva forskning sier om hva som er beste sovestilling.Kjøp mitt videoforedrag om kritisk tenkning her:https://voyd.tv/nb-NO/m/c/tjomlid/foredrag-om-kritisk-tenking-7494Støtt meg på patreon.com/tjomlid– Den offentlige samtalen skapt gjennom Facebook har begrenset verdihttps://journalisten.no/espen-olsen-langfeldt-facebook-kommentarfelt/den-offentlige-samtalen-skapt-gjennom-facebook-har-begrenset-verdi/520162

I denne episoden var det mye å snakke om. Jeg #fruster litt rundt skylappene og hykleriet til Bitcoin-tilhengere som roser El Salvador og president Nayib Bukele for å ha innført Bitcoin som gyldig nasjonal valuta, samtidig som de ignorerer at han er en anti-demokratisk, autoritær fjott og at kruptovalutaens inntog i landet har vært en katastrofal fadese. Jordan Peterson bruker sin Twitter-konto til body-shaming (og til å hylle El Salvador/Bukele som enhver kontrær liberterianer med respekt for seg selv ikke klarer å unngå å gjøre). EU sitt lovforslag om overvåking av kryptert kommunikasjon på internett vil ikke bare kvele ytringsfrihet og rasere personvern, men er også en fundamentalt kontraproduktiv måte å forebygge seksuelle overgrep på. Til slutt snakker jeg mer om Recovery Norge og hvorfor det er et så hårreisende tåpelig prosjekt som ødelegger alt av vitenskapelig integritet, samt litt mer om denne studien på Lightning Process som ble godkjent, så stanset, så godkjent igjen, og som nå er klaget inn på nytt.

In this episode, we have Lauren Stoney. Having entered the world of marketing as a driven and ambitious professional, Lauren experienced first-hand the effects of living life at 100mph. Living every day from a ‘work-hard, play-hard' mentality, it wasn't long before she suffered the effects of burnout; facing the diagnosis of a ‘lifelong' autoimmune condition – Hashimoto's disease.Her future seemed bleak with rapidly deteriorating health, the potential loss of her career and a social life that was drawing to a close. Above all else, Lauren felt she had become a shadow of herself.In 2016 she discovered the Lightning Process® and never looked back. She rediscovered what it was like to have the prospect of a career, the opportunity to see friends, and the return of her health. Above all, she rediscovered her sense of self and got her oomph back.So now, Lauren helps others do the same.FOLLOW LAUREN HERE▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lauren_stoney_life_crafting/▶ Website - https://www.laurenstoney.co.uk/FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL▶ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheChronicComeback▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechroniccomebackSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST▶ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-chronic-comeback/id1533970626▶ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_BGsN1LaeL4iudgSNUw7A

Dr Phil Parker, the Lightning Process's designer explains what is the Lightning Process and introduces you to the idea of being influential in your health and life.

Jodie's chronic health story began In early 2006, she came down with shingles and flu like symptoms. Having just accepted her dream job, she pushed through her sometimes debilitating symptoms but although she hoped they would improve, they just got worse. After getting tested for every illness under the sun, she was eventually told she had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The doctor said it could last for months or even years and that there was no cure or treatment and so was understandably devastated.  She went from Dr to Dr with little improvement and was even told by one that ‘she would need to learn to live with it'; this was something she would not accept however and she kept pushing on and looking for solutions.  Then one day, she read a newspaper article about someone who had fully recovered from CFS after taking the Lightning Process. and so she took a leap of faith and booked herself onto a course in January 2009.And it was this course that changed her life forever. Since doing the course she had run the London Marathon; got married; had and is raising 2 children, moved continents to start a new life in Los Angeles and retrained in an entirely new professional discipline as a Lightning Practice practitioner and so she now helps countless others recover from chronic illness

Lightning Process, DNRS, Gupta Method… chances are if you have chronic fatigue syndrome you may have come across one of the many ‘Brain retraining' programmes that claim to help people heal. But can changing the brain really heal the body from a physical ailment? In today's epsiode, we delve into some of the science that supports brain retraining methods, the impact an impaired limbic system can have on the body and our own experiences with brain retraining. As always, these are purely our views and are not medical advice, but for more infor here's the resources we cite in the episode: Netflix series Free Solo David Hamilton ‘How Your Mind can heal your Body' Lightning Process and Phil Parker's Book 'Get the Life you Love Now' DNRS programme Gupta method Miguel Batista CFS recovery programme ANS Rewire Alex Howard: Optimum Health Clinic Reset Program CFS Health Program Curable app Barry McDonagh 'DARE response' Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Tara Brach meditations and podcast Abraham Hicks Daily Affirmation If you have thoughts or questions we'd love to hear from you @postviralpodcast and postviralpodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode we have James Wilson. James has dealt with chronic illness from a young age, being diagnosed with chronic fatigue at nine years old. He spent much of his time being bed bound and was even in a wheelchair. After making a full recovery, he was able to get back to a normal life, going to university and playing tennis at a high level—only for his health issues to return in his 20s and therefore having to face a new set of challenges as an adult this time.As he worked on his own recovery, he delved deep into the mind-body connection which actually has led him to becoming an NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist & Life Coach.  He was fortunate enough to be trained by Lightning Process creator Phil Parker alongside an incredible variety of medical and holistic wellbeing practitioners, GPs, academics, creatives and coaches, who have all experienced the power of NLP and the mind-body connection in their own lives. FOLLOW JAMES ON SOCIAL▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindswitchcoach▶ Website - https://www.mind-switch.co.uk/FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL▶ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheChronicComeback▶ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechroniccomebackSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST▶ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-chronic-comeback/id1533970626▶ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_BGsN1LaeL4iudgSNUw7A▶ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/71485tI9o4JPPkg1IpmDaX#cfs #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome

‘Lightning‘ Liz Allen is one of a rare number of Lightning Process practitioners - on the planet. A process that helps thousands of people overcome issues from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, IBS and more. After months of illness, chronic fatigue ended Liz's design career. In this conversation we follow Liz's transformation from chronically ill, back to health and being of service to others. We dive into the nuts-and-bolts of chronic illness, NLP and the Lightning Process. We explore the massively fascinating mind-body connection and how life altering change can happen - much quicker than we believe. What really landed for me is how people who's lives are impacted by chronic conditions, often continue to live with it long after their initial trauma event. When getting out of bed, having a conversation or catching a bus become virtual mountains to climb (Things most of us don't think twice about, and often can't see the pain it causes from the outside). What's remarkable about the Lightning Process is not just how fast it can work but how empowering it is to the individual. Who go on to reclaim their autonomy, confidence, sense of self and often lead more fulfilling lives. A big, big thank you to Liz for her time and sharing her story so generously. Her passion and energy for making real, lasting change in people's lives is abundant. Az ⚡️

She used to be a professional ballet dancer and performer and after a career-ending injury she turned to working with people as a Yoga teacher, Pilates instructor and movement practitioner. She then combined Eastern and Western bodywork techniques to help people move better and feel better. Her curiosity around the holistic human experience brought her to become increasingly passionate about human physiology and to go back to school in her late 20's to study first Life Sciences then Physiotherapy. After a few years of persistent symptomatic patterns, she was finally diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome which would fully transform her life. She is now dedicated to being a trauma informed mind-body practitioner committed to the holistic perspective of health and well-being. The experience of recovering from chronic fatigue and learning to heal her past trauma sparked a mission within to share hope, self-empowerment, self-acceptance and healing with the greater collective. Our conversation covers her journey with being bed-bound with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the tools she used to recover, such as the Lightning Process training, nervous system regulation & Somatic Experiencing. Jen went from being so scared about her symptoms & illness to research, learn & regulate her nervous system, to use brain retraining tools such as the Lightning Process to address her thought patterns and bottom up approaches such as Somatic Experiences to address traumas stored in the body. An integrative & holistic healing that includes top down & bottom up approaches is what supported Jen to NOT only recover from CFS/ME, POTS and chronic dysregulation, but to create a full transformation. Jen is so passionate about supporting others in their journey of recovery from CFS/ ME, long-covid, POTS and other chronic health challenges and that is why her and Karden Rabin are putting together the first Chronic Fatigue Syndrome trauma-informed recovery program that will include both top-down AND bottom-up therapy modalities. If you resonate with this, please get in touch with them.

Jeg har fått en del respons på forrige episode hvor jeg hadde med gjest Henrik Vogt for å snakke om ME/CFS, Lightning Process og Recovery Norge, og jeg deler her noe feedback og tanker i kjølvannet... Vi har også fått solgt vår bolig, og leter nå etter nytt sted å bo i Kristiansand. Til slutt gjennomgår jeg noen rangeringer og vurderinger av politiske partier politikk på områdene sex, flytkningepolitikk, psykisk helse, folkehelse og ruspolitikk.

I denne episoden er initiativtaker til organisasjonen Recovery Norge, Henrik Vogt, gjest for å dele mer av sine tanker rundt "uforklarlige sykdommer", ME/CFS, Lightning Process, forskning, evidens og ikke minst om hva intensjonene med Recovery Norge er. Det ble en spennende, engasjert og forhåpentligvis informativ og interessant prat.

Kan menneskeheten utryddes totalt? Jeg har alltid undret meg over dette, men heldigvis synes det å være nesten umulig.

When Alice Urbino was a young teenager she got the flu and never got better. Her mother - desperate for her daughter to recover - paid for what she thought was a legitimate treatment -- even though young Alice could plainly see the ‘lightning process’ was based on pseudoscience. Nevertheless, Alice was pressured to partake in a cult like atmosphere with absurd rituals that amounted to brain washing. Alice was made to believe that she chose to be sick, and that even expressing feelings of nausea or fatigue were signs that she wasn’t trying hard enough and that she had the wrong attitude and that’s why she was still sick. Not surprisingly, young Alice was brain washed and internalized the blame and shame and soon became depressed and started hating herself. For years, belief in this ‘treatment’ affected Alice’s mental health and belief in herself and the physical symptoms she experienced. In our interview, Alice tells us how she overcame the internalized gaslighting caused by the lightning process, and to warn us about what she learned about the lightning process’s infamous founder Phil Parker, who professes to have the “ability to step into other people’s bodies...to assist them in their healing”. Parker - who is often called out as a charlatan on social media - has a long history of financially preying on the sick, vulnerable and desperate.

Work hard. Train hard. Rest hard. I have been living with HIV since 1998. I was the first person living with HIV to compete at the triathlon world championships. Thanks to research and access to medications, HIV is not a problem in my life. I have been living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since 2012, and thanks in part to medical error, it is a big problem in my life. Counseling / Research I first became aware of the ubiquitousness of medical error during a decade of community based research working with the HIV Prevention Lab at Ryerson University, where I co-authored two research papers on a counseling intervention for people living with HIV, here and here.  Patient participants would often report varying degrees of medical neglect, error and harms as part of their counseling sessions. Patient Advocacy I am co-founder of the ME patient advocacy non-profit Millions Missing Canada, and on the Executive Committee of the Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Research Network. I am also a patient advisor for Health Quality Ontario’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, and member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada. Medical Error Interviews podcast and vidcast emerged to give voice to victims, witnesses and participants in this hidden epidemic so we can create change toward a safer health care system. My golden retriever Gladys is a constant source of love and joy. I hope to be well enough again one day to race triathlons again. Or even shovel the snow off the sidewalk.

Hi! Welcome to That's So Chronic. Today I am chatting with Bianca Smeekes from Neurospark. On the 22 of February 2011, Bianca was in the city during the horrific Christchurch Earthquake. Following this she was diagnosed with vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, and central sensitization syndrome - all very generalised diagnoses. In this episode Bianca shares her health journey, breaks down what those diagnoses mean, how she took control of her pain, and then she helps me understand what on earth Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the Lightning Process is all about, as well as the work she does with Neurospark. I mention this in the episode, but I would not have been able to have this conversation even 18 months ago. It's only now after interviewing so many incredible people for That's The Chronic that I have a bit more of an open mind and am willing to talk about neurological pain in the way Bianca explains. Find out more about Bianca and Neurospark at @neuro.spark on instagram, or at neurospark.co.nz I'm curious… Have you ever tried NLP or Lightning Process? Or perhaps you just have something to say?

When people are very sick and suffering, especially for months and years, they are desperate to try almost anything to have even a little improvement in their quality of life.  This makes patients susceptible to shysters preying on desperation. Like the snake oil salesman of yesteryear, today we have their modern incantations and must contend with their psychological snake oil. For a short while, Joan McParland metaphorically drank the snake oil laced Kool-Aid. Joan had been very sick and bedbound for years with the neuroimmune illness myalgic encephalomyelitis - which literally means ‘inflammation of the brain and spinal cord’ - Joan was desperate to try anything so she could be well enough to the healthy Mom she used to be for her son, and return to the work she loved. Joan paid big money to participate in the ‘lightning process’, a program that professes to treat all sorts of chronic symptoms in just 3 days. Evidently this is not some benign distraction, it has been reported that a Norwegian teen tried to committ suicide after failling to improve from the lightning process. In the 3 day program, Joan and the other participants were told not to share anything about how the lightning process works with anyone else, or talk to each other about the lightning process, and to only talk about themselves in positive, healthy language and to tell people they were cured --- some people even had to sign contracts with those constraints. But Joan is not one to be complicit in promoting self-blaming brainwashing and is telling the truth about what secretly happens in the costly lightning process.  It works basically like this: you stand on a piece of paper that has ‘stop - I have a choice’ written on it. Then you say that aloud. Two arrows point to your choices. One arrow points to a piece of paper that has ‘the pit’ written on it. This represents your symptoms and illness. The other arrow points to a piece of paper that has ‘the life I want to lead’ written on it. You choose which piece of paper you want to stand on and say that aloud. That’s it -- you do that repeatedly and it will cure you. Doing a little bit of googling and it turns out both the British Advertising Standards and the Nordic Consumer Ombudsman have ruled against the lighting process for making false claims on its website.  It has been described as "quackery backed by pseudoscientific theory", and as a costly pyramid scheme since people who train in the process frequently go on to become paid practitioners themselves. What makes it really dangerous, is that dubious researchers have subjected children to the snake oil. It is unclear how the research ethics board allowed children to become guinea pigs, since the program was described as ‘"like CBT, but with bullying”. When Joan continued to be very sick, she realized she’d been conned. She told family and friends she was cured, but in reality she was just as sick and disabled as before. Joan felt used and abused -- and also ashamed and embarrassed for being so gullible to pay large sums for something so obviously rooted in magical thinking and profit making off the sick.  But Joan’s shame quickly turned to anger when she thought about how many other sick and disabled people were being scammed out of their money, and made to feel it was their fault if they weren’t cured -- and so Joan has set out to tell the truth so other patients don’t fall for the same scam.   SHOW NOTES: 0:08:00 Joan was an only child and born in Northern Ireland, near the border - a happy childhood with no trauma -- hated school initially but loved it by the time she finished - went to college, took a year off, and returned to college to study something she really wanted to: cookery and commercial course 0:09:00 The 2 courses compelemented one another and Joan got a job organizing school meals, so she had some hands on work creating meals, and admin work organizing supplies, making menus, working out nurtitional values, etc - so brain work and book work and hands on, which she loved as well - it was idyllic and only 10 minute drive from home - her son attended the same school - they got all of July and August off each year 0:10:00 Joan married her first love, her love at first sight, when she was 20 - they camped, caravan, and biking - Joan often had a car full of kids from school because they would end up at her house - Joan was asked by a woman to look after her son on a long term basis, so the 2 boys became like brothers - it was a good life, really good - and then 'boom' 0:11:00 Boom' happened October 13th 1999, she got sick overnight - looking back now that Joan knows what ME is (myalgic encephalomyelitis), there was a time in France when her brain 'blipped' and she thought she was going to faint and scared the life of her for a couple of hours, 'what the hell was that' - that was summer 1999, and about 6 weeks later, 'boom' 0:12:00 Working with kids in school she would pick up a tummy bug / gastroenteritis - on waking October 13th, Joan thought she had a tummy bug or food poisoining - she tried to get out of bed but couldn't walk, the room was spinning, her brain was spinning inside her head, the nausea was horrific, and Joan had to crawl on her hands and knees to the bathroom - desperately wanting to vomit and not able to 0:13:00 She called head office to say she was sick and would be off work one or two days at the most - 2 days passed, a week passed, 2 weeks passed and Joan realized something was not right - Joan's Mom was staying with her to take care of her - her GP made a house call and diagnosed Joan with viral labyrinthitis (inner ear infection) as causing the dizziness and nausea 0:14:00 Joan was so ill, she couldn't explain her symptoms - she didn't realize she was sicker when the curtains were open or when her mother was vacuuming - in the same way a year later, when she couldn't associate pushing herself physically that was making her sicker 0:15:00 For 11 months, Joan was carried to the bathroom, looked like she was going to die, felt like she was going to die, lost about 2 stones (28 pouinds) in weight because she couldn't eat - her husband carried her to the car and drove her to the doctor and he injected Joan with cyclizine (nausea medication) - she was injected for months and months - one day another doctor said Joan didn't have to come in for injections, she could get it in tablet form - Joan wish she'd known that because it was crucifying her to travel to and fro the doctors - one day Joan felt a wee bit better 0:16:00 Joan thought she was recovering - she got a wee bit better over the next few months, but the dizziness and nausea never left, but her energy came back a bit - Joan was afraid of losing her job so went back to work about a year after she got sick - but Joan wasn't really well enough to work 0:17:00 Joan would last until about 1pm and then she'd have to come home and go to bed until the next morning - she did this for months, never associating that pushing herself to work was making her sick, that's a concept she'd never heard of - so Joan was in a cycle of 'work and collapse' - she ended up back in bed for a few months and tried to work again - this went on for about 2 years - a friend at work suggested Joan try yoga, Joan said that was a good idea, she needed more exercise (laughter) 0:18:00 Joan went to the yoga class and can remember thinking 'I can hardly lift my leg, what's wrong?' --The next morning she went to work and 10 minutes after getting to work she fell to the floor, and spent the next 7 years in bed - the 2 years of pushing and crashing cost Joan the next 7 years, a very steep price 0:19:00 Joan can remember her doctor standing at the foot of her bed saying 'I hope and pray we're not dealing with severe ME' - but he never said anything about the importance of rest - she said to him one day she couldn't get out of bed, but she wanted to, she wanted to spend time with her son Stephen, she wanted to work - he casually said 'stay in bed if that helps' - Joan says that if the doctor had of said 'Joan, if you don't rest now, this could be the rest of your life' - but he didn't know to say that, so she doesn't blame him, he was very good to Joan - he started sending Joan to specialists, like cardiology, gastroenterology, etc 0:20:00 The specialists were all coming up with different diagnosis, like menopause - Joan says its the strangest menopause she ever heard that would put you in bed for a year - Joan's husband said we're running out of options with the National Health Service (NHS), maybe they should try a private clinic and pay out of pocket - one gastroenterologist said to Joan's husband, 'take that woman to a psychiatrist' - that was the only day in 20 years that he doubted Joan, he said 'Joan, there is something I have to tell you, these doctors can't all be wrong' - that nearly broke Joan's heart, it felt like betrayal 0:21:00 Fortunately her husband knew her well enough to believe her, and now he backs ME advocacy as much as Joan does - right now he's building some stuff for Joan's ME presentation next week - she doens't know where she'd be without him, she realizes she's very lucky - their son was 12 years old when Joan got sick, so he's been to all the ME conferences Joan has attended - without her family she could not accomplish her ME advocacy, because living with ME is horrific 0:22:00 At one point Joan doubted her own sanity because all these doctors were telling her there was nothing wrong with her - so she went to a psychiatrist and he told her he would teach her to relax and not think about her bodily sensations so much (laughs), so I didn't go back to him either - Joan says 'to be honest, it was the Lightning Process that gave her mojo, she came out of that not to be empowered to be well, but to be empowered to do something about the ME medical situation' 0:23:00 In about 2007 Joan tried the Lightning Process (LP) - Joan had a relative who is a mental health nurse, a lovely lade, and she sent Joan a newspaper clipping of this wonderful new treatment for ME 0:24:00 The article said that LP had helped people get out of wheelchairs - there was an organization called the Northern Ireland ME Association and they did a newsletter and including an article about a lady bouncing out of her wheelchair in 3 days - at first Joan scoffed, but then she thought 'what if it helps?' - she was so sick couldn't not try it 0:25:00 The LP person was to phone patients to determine if they were suitable for the program, so what that means is 'are you stupid?' (laughs) - he would talk about the ME symptoms like a person with ME, he talked about the dizziness and nausea and exhaustion, etc - Joan really beleived he knew what he was talking about - he (the LP person) then started asking Joan questions like 'how much do you want to be well, how much do you want it, are you willing to invest 3 days of your life now to get well' - questions you are never going to say 'no' to 0:26:00 He was obviously an insurance salesman at some stage in his life because he could have sold anything to you - Joan says she's not stupid, but she was desperate, and he was preying on that - he said Joan needed to make it a life changing holiday - she went and stayed in a hotel about an hour and half from her home - Joan's mom came with her because Joan was too sick to be on her own 0:27:00 So they stayed in the hotel for 3 nights and had to take a taxi about 5 minutes away to a house he rented for the LP - it was supposed to be for 3 days, but it was actually only from 10am to 2pm on 2 days, and the 3rd it finished at noon, so 10 hours in total - for lunch they were served a cup of tea and a biscuit....for 880 pounds (about $1150 USD) 0:28:00 They were told not to talk to each other about what happened in the room, don't discuss it - Joan got to know 1 of the other 3 people, Paula, and they became friends over time, and great friends today 0:29:00 About a year later Paula told Joan it was her 3rd time doing LP and her husband paid the LP person to come over for personal 'training' at 1,000 - 2,000 pounds, they were so desperate - it took Paula a year to tell Joan because she was so ashamed she'd been conned repeatedly - the LP person told Joan to only ever talk in positive terms and words 0:30:00 So Joan and Paula would have these stupid conversations only in positive terms, partially out of fear, partially because they had paid so much money - but as time went on, their health went down, and they had to admit to each other that LP is a load of crap, just mind games - it mostly just LP person talking 0:31:00 He would show things like optical illusions and it all made sense the way he said it - on the 2nd day he showed them how to do LP - that's when they started to learn affirmations - he instructed them to think of a day in the past they were happy, and bring that emotion into the present - it was like 'neuro linguistic programming' - its just brainwashing 0:32:00 Joan would go back to her hotel pumped with adrenaline - she had pieces of paper she was to put on the floor and practice LP all night - her Mom watched her standing on paper circles talking like she was cured - Joan was instructed to only speak in positive terms, so she called her husband and told him she was cured (laughs) - one of the pieces of paper says 'stop - you have a choice' - another piece of paper said 'the pit of ME' and another said 'life I want to lead', and Joan was instructed to choose one to stand on 0:33:00 Of course, people choose 'life' and stand on that piece of paper - you become your own coach - and you have to do all the movements (Joan thrusts her fist in the air in victory) and say 'I choose the life I love' (laughs) 0:34:00 When your experience symptoms, Joan was instructed to put her hands in front of her and say 'stop' - nobody was going to choose 'the pit of ME' 0:35:00 It would be ridiculous to say to someone they could be cured of cancer by standing on a piece of paper and shouting 'stop' - but because medicine has erroneously said ME is psychological, they can get away with it - they are playing on the fact there is no biomarker for ME yet, so when you can't prove a disease, it can be called anything 0:36:00 Of the 3 people who did LP with Joan, none of them recovered - one of them had ME, another depression, and another fibromyalgia - Joan practiced the self-affirmations daily and almost became evangelical about it 0:37:00 If any one had of said to Joan at the time that LP was a load of crap, she would have argued that it wasn't - the LP person phoned and asked the patients if they would go on tv or radio to tell about their experience - if he had of phoned Joan a week earlier then he did, she would've gone on tv to say how great LP was, he was like the Messiah to Joan - Joan was so desperate to better after years of being sick, she believed it 0:38:00 Joan stopped believing when her ME symtpoms started to creep back - in her head she was screaming 'no' - she did the LP and was torturing herself - but a small voice in her head kept saying LP was rubbish - so her mind was bouncing between reality and LP 0:39:00 Eventually Joan ended up bed bound again - and feeling psycholigically disturbed about how foolish she'd been, having been taken in, and telling everybody she was cured - Joan felt stupid and used and abused 0:40:00 Joan felt ashamed for being so stupid - so psychologically Joan ended up in a worse place 0:41:00 When Joan's friend finally disclosed that she was still sick, Joan was shocked and at the same time understood her desperation - since none of the 4 people recovered, Joan knew she would never do LP again and the reality "I've just been conned" started to set in - Joan only has about 20-30% of ability compared to her full health - if she's not horizontal most of the day, nothing gets accomplished - it was psychologically tough because LP felt like the last hope 0:42:00 Joan had lots of tears, heartbreak, disappointment - it was a horrible experience - Joan didn't go into depression, it was great sadness - then that sadness turned to anger, 'I've got to do something about this' - people can not go on abusing and make fools of patients - a match was lit inside Joan to do something, she didn't know yet what it was 0:43:00 The support of her husband and wanting to support her son motivated Joan - she doesn't know how people with severe ME survice on their own without some family support 0:44:00 The one thing that kept Joan sane during the years she was very sick, was a tree outside her window and she watched the seasons change - there were days when she felt like she was going to die, couldn't get out of bed, and sometimes she just counted the leaves on the tree because she couldn't read or watch tv - anything to take her mind off the suffering because she couldn't physically leave the bed - everytime her son walked down the hall, Joan thought 'better me, than him'. 0:45:00 Joan couldn't make sense of the written word due to cognitive impairment - it was like a switch in here brain was turned off - Joan can remember looking at a 4 week menu plan for work and not being able to come up with one meal plan 0:46:00 Joan wondered what was happening to her brain, she couldn't think straight or get her thoughts into order - affecting her concentration, memory, ability to focus - when she could tolerate tv, she couldn't follow the story line 0:47:00 Joan would try to fake that she knew what the tv show was about - if the radio is on and her husband says something to her, it all gets jumbled - her brain can't filter out what she doesn't want to focus on - when Joan is feeling 'well' she can go out for a meal as along as there is no background music and only 1 or 2 other people there 0:48:00 If people talk across each other, Joan is cognitively impacted and she doesn't have a clue what people are talking about - Joan has used her anger toward ME advocacy - Joan didn't even have a laptop until about 10 years into being sick, she had no contact with the outside world - she had to self learn the laptop when she got it 0:49:00 Joan and her husband where scheming how to doing something about ME - they heard about a ME support group about 20 miles away...that was a whole different experience - Joan could barely sit up at that point but the group was talking about the activities they were planning for the weekend - Joan thought she must've been in the wrong support group because she can't do any of those things - she was despondent 0:50:00 But Joan and her husband decided to start their own ME support group - Joan contacted the local newspaper and they did an article about Joan and ME - Joan booked a room at a hotel for the meeting - Joan didn't know what to expect, or if any one would actually show up...then they started coming and she thought they'd never stop coming through the door - Joan wasn't a public speaker or know what direction the group would go, they hadn't even paid for the room, but everyone put in 1 pound to pay for it 0:51:00 So Joan just spoke from her heart, about what had happened to her - she said she needed help and they formed a committee that night - and the next thing she knows they're organizing conferences and bringing over researchers from Harvard, Stanford - it was like the stars lined up and everything fell into place with very little effort, but sometimes with a massive effort - sometimes she felt like running away from it but then an opportunity awareness and educatin would come and she could not let it pass - and the group grew and grew 0:52:00 Joan says the only thing she did was to tell the truth, she's not a doctor or scientist, she's just one person who got ME and is not going to leave this world quietly - doors started opening 0:53:00 This year in particular, they've been asked to do a presentation in the GPs surgery (clinic), that is massive - last week Joan was asked to talk to the European Health Connection - Joan realizes instead of her having to ask people to learn and hear about ME, now they're coming to Joan's group 0:54:00 LP didn't take off too much in Northern Ireland, or people are too ashamed to admit it, which Joan can understand - there is zero ME research in North Ireland - advocates had been trying for years to get services but hadn't got any where 0:55:00 One day Joan got a call from Horace Reid (SPELLING??) from the Northern Ireland ME Association to tell her she was doing a great job and keep up the good work, and that was a real boost for Joan - Horace ended up joining Joan's group's committee and has been a great friend, advisor, and advocate 0:56:00 Soon Joan and other advocates met with Health and Social Care Board - Joan was frightened and just listened - they kept meeting with them but nothing happened - they then asked the Patient Client Council to help them 0:57:00 They are supposed to represent the patient voice - they started to come to the meetings with the Board and hold them more accountable - that's when people started to listen and things started to change, that was in 2012 -- in 2018, the Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland opened the conference and it was announced a new ME Clinical Lead for NI was being interviewed for the new ME clinic - but the clinic hasn't opened yet, it it was left to patients it would've been started by now 0:58:00 They are just waiting for the press release to announce the new clinic - it is exciting but the down side is only it is only a part time position and no supports for kids, so a long way to go yet - doctors are now referring them to the support group because there is no other place to refer, and they will get the best support from other patients 0:59:00 Joan has to spend a lot of time horizontal, drapes and windows closed, phone off, don't any body think of coming into the room, so not just lay down, but complete shut down - Joan has tried antivirals and antiretrovirals (ARVs) - another friend started ARVs first and she got good results, not cured, but she was severe and now she's at moderate / severe 1:00:00 So it improved her health one level and she's holding that - ARVs are expensive, maybe about 300 pounds a month - Joan tried ARVs but started to feel worse 1:01:00 Joan persisted taking them until one day she was having trouble breathing so stopped them, but tried them again about 6 months later but had the same reaction - but that didn't bother her as much as the LP because it didn't mess with her head 1:02:00 Joan's illness impacted her son - he was just moving up from primary to high school when Joan got sick and it affected him 1:03:00 Knowing how ME was impacting her son, motivated Joan to fight on - it made Joan very angry she couldn't protect her child from pain, that's a big reason she got into advocacy - no kid needs to see there mother in bed like a vegetable 1:04:00 Joan doesn't know how parents with kids with ME cope - if Joan's son had ME, she would've murdered somebody in health service by now 1:05:00 Joan's support group has parents of children with ME, but they have to keep a low profile for fear of having health services accuse them of 'fabricating illness' in their child - they have to play along with mental health services, not cause a fuss, don't fight too hard - Joan hopes once the adult ME services are running, those parents will have an easier time - but they are scared 1:06:00 It happens more often in England, but a few parents in Northern Ireland have come close to having their sick child taken away from them 1:07:00 Joan doesn't want to take away people's hope, but she also doesn't want them to go through what she did with LP, the false hope - Joan says to put yourself in the place of someone who had cancer and ask yourself, 'would I do LP for cancer?' - ME is a physical disease and can't be cured with psychological tricks 1:08:00 You've got a physical disease that nobody can see on an x-ray or a blood test, but it is there and it cannot be talked out of your body   Be a podcast patron Support Medical Error Interviews on Patreon by becoming a Patron for $2 / month for audio versions.  Premium Patrons get access to video versions of podcasts for $5 / month.   Be my Guest I am always looking for guests to share their medical error experiences so we help bring awareness and make patients safer.

Work hard. Train hard. Rest hard. I have been living with HIV since 1998. I was the first person living with HIV to compete at the triathlon world championships. Thanks to research and access to medications, HIV is not a problem in my life. I have been living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since 2012, and thanks in part to medical error, it is a big problem in my life.   Counseling / Research I first became aware of the ubiquitousness of medical error during a decade of community based research working with the HIV Prevention Lab at Ryerson University, where I co-authored two research papers on a counseling intervention for people living with HIV, here and here.  Patient participants would often report varying degrees of medical neglect, error and harms as part of their counseling sessions.   Patient Advocacy I am co-founder of the ME patient advocacy non-profit Millions Missing Canada, and on the Executive Committee of the Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Research Network. I am also a patient advisor for Health Quality Ontario’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, and member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada.

Alex discusses the limitations of psychological approaches and miracle recovery stories from psychological therapies for ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia. Through the Optimum Health Clinic, the patient gets both psychological support to encourage healing, and also functional medicine to look at various biological systems that may be out of balance. Exploring the Lightning Process and Mickel Therapy and Reverse Therapy, EFT and more, and their places in some parts of recovery, Alex explains how they can help with parts of the puzzle, but is not the full picture for the broadest patients with ME CFS.

Whatever your situation is, there’s someone that’s gotten over that. For certain. The words of Phil Parker, Master Trainer of NLP, Expert in the psychology of health, happiness & genius, Hay House Author, PhD Researcher and Designer of the Lightning Process.  He shares two simple and effective techniques you can use immediately to let go of worrying and release stress. He says: Anxiety relies on triggering sympathetic nervous system consistently, which is the part of your nervous system that is all about fighting beasts. It triggers adrenaline, it triggers cortisol, noradrenaline and dopamine as well… but is is very linked to the speed at which we talk. Your breathing is linked to your internal voice speed. Slow your internal voice speed down and your breathing will slow down. Slow down your breathing and your nervous system will start to settle and get back to balance. QUOTE: If you start to use the pathway towards calm more and more then what will happen is the connection to the stress pathway will start to fade. The gap will increase between that pathway and the stress pathway. And, the gap between that pathway and the happiness and calm pathway will get smaller. And so more and more nerve pathways will start to develop into happiness calm and relaxation. Phil's show notes page (www.social-anxiety-solutions.com/phil)My homepage (find the 12 shortcuts to social confidence here):www.social-anxiety-solutions.comContact me directly: www.social-anxiety-solutions.com/contact/Warm regards,Sebastiaan van der Schrier
