Facts and Research
Facts
- The Lightning Process considers ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to be real physical illnesses with disturbances of the immunological, endocrinal and neurological systems as defined by Dr Ramsey in 1986
- The Lightning Process training takes place over three days during which clients learn techniques to enable them to powerfully influence the Autonomic Nervous System and other body systems
- The Lightning Process is based on Neuro-linguistic Programming, Osteopathy, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching
- The Lightning Process has a very high success rate (over 85% in one survey) for all people irrespective of gender, length of illness or severity
- Over 1,500 people a year are getting well using this Process
- Professor Leslie Findley, Consultant Neurologist and Clinical Director of the National ME Centre in Essex is one of the many consultants and GP’s recommending patients to the Lightning Process
- Pilot studies are underway in the UK and Norway by Dr Vegard Bruun Wyller MD PhD
- Other conditions that have shown full recovery or very significant improvement using this Process are - fibromyalgia, post viral fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, hay fever, asthma, depression, bipolar disorder, ocd, anxiety and panic attacks, ibs, insomnia, dyspraxia, low self esteem, parkinson's, hyper and hypo thyroidism, multiple sclerosis, chronic aches and pains, ptsd, lyme disease, anger issues, food intolerances, coeliac disease, candida, allergies, migraines, noise and light sensitivity, focal dystonia, torticollis.
Research
Recent research by Dr Vegard Bruun Wyller MD PhD at the Division of Paediatrics, Rikshospitalet University Hospital, Oslo, Norway concludes that ME sufferers’ bodies are stuck in a permanent state of enhanced sympathetic nervous activity, with a concurrent sustained humoural stress response. Research carried out gives some physiological pointers as to why the Lightning Process is achieving quick results.
Dr Wyller says: ‘Recent research on CFS pathophysiology has revealed alterations of cardiovascular regulation and thermoregulation, characterised by enhanced sympathetic nervous activity and increased secretion of epinephrine (adrenaline). These findings indicate a state of permanent distress response - sustained arousal - in CFS patients. Based upon our findings, we have formulated a theory of sustained arousal in CFS, which seems to correspond quite neatly to the theoretical considerations underlying the Lightning Process.
’
The breakthrough that underpins the Lightning Process’s approach is a realisation that both the MIND and BODY can be used to powerfully influence the Autonomic Nervous System, and through that, all other body systems.
