"Kate has been a valuable source of support and inspiration whilst I've been going through the process of getting my life back on track - to talk to somebody who's been through similar things and got to the other side is a big help. Kate has a very calm and reassuring way about her, she's patient and understanding, full of encouragement and great advice and I'd have no hesitation in recommending her. She's great!"

It is a training programme not a therapy, so we learn that our minds and bodies are interrelated and that we have more power to effect both than we ever realised. The success rate for people completing the training is very high and the techniques are easy to learn. They only need to be applied until the symptoms are cleared but it does take work and commitment to do so. It is effective no matter what the level of disability, and can even be used by very severely affected M.E. sufferers.
Because this powerful new solution is achieving amazing results, Professor Findley Consultant Neurologist and Clinical Director at the National M.E Centre in Essex is now referring some of his patients to the Lightning Process. A pilot study on the Lightning Process is now underway.
Esther Rantzen OBE, (Vice President of the National M.E Centre and President of AYME, the Association of Young People with M.E) has written about her daughter Emily's 14 year illness and subsequent recovery using the Lightning Process. You can read it on our Recovery Stories page, or on the Daily Mail website.
We recommend that you view the video testimonials on The Lightning Process website so that you get a real sense of the benefits that other M.E sufferers are now enjoying. They are all real people starting to get their lives back. You may have heard that it takes years of pacing, or exclusion diets to get beyond M.E. This is no longer true, because if you are willing to apply the Lightning Process techniques, consistently and repetitively, you too will clear your symptoms and be able to get on with your life. To find out more visit http://www.lightningpocess.com
Some of the symptoms that other M.E sufferers have cleared are listed here...
addictions, adrenal problems, allergies and intolerances, anxiety, balance problems, bloating, blurry vision, brain fog, candida, chemical sensitivity, compulsive behaviours, concentration problems, confusion, constipation, depression, diahorrea, dizzyness, electrical pulsing sensations, excessive sleeping, exhaustion, fatigue, fear, feeling detached or disconnected, fever and chills, flu-like symptoms, frequent coughs and colds, fybromyalgia, hallucinations, head pain or pressure, heartburn, indigestion, insomnia and other sleep disturbances, irritability, irritable bowel syndrome, itching and rashes, itchy eyes, joint pain, light sensitivity, loss of vision, malaise, memory loss, migraines, muscle pain, nausea, noise sensitivity, oedema, panic attacks, painful and/or swollen glands, pins and needles, restless leg syndrome, runny nose, sensitivity to electrical fields/computers/mobiles etc, shaking, shooting pains, skin sensitivity, stomach pain, sun burn sensation, swelling, temperature control problems, thrush, thyroid problems, unrefreshing sleep, vertigo and similar sensations, vomiting, water retention, watering eyes, weakness.....and probably many more.
If you are concerned that any of your symptoms are not in this list, please feel free to ring us to discuss it.
If the immune system isn't working, almost any symptom can show up, which is why so many M.E sufferers can have a vast array of differing and confusing symptoms that often vary in severity and occurrence from day to day.
Symptoms can vary from feeling a little under the weather a lot of the time, to being unable to work, to being bedbound and unable to walk, to being unable to care for oneself at all. Wherever you are on the spectrum, you can use the Lightning Process to gain full recovery.
We advise you to consult your GP, have the necessary tests to rule out other potential problems and obtain a diagnosis.
You will discover how your body and mind are trapped in an unconscious stress response. Without realising, some of us have over produced adrenaline on a daily basis which can also lead to adrenal exhaustion. The abnormal production of adrenaline suppresses the immune system to such an extent that we can be overwhelmed by fatigue, pain and many other symptoms.
When we use the Lightning Process we address the underlying cause of the symptoms. We learn how to consciously interrupt and change the old unconscious response and create new neurological pathways in our brain. Research shows that brain plasticity allows us to make permanent changes. So we learn how to rebalance the adrenaline which then allows the immune system to revert to normal function.
The body is then able to clear ALL the symptoms because the immune system is not damaged, but suppressed. For bedbound patients, strength and fitness can be regained over time, but for everyone else, normal life is achievable in a matter of days or weeks.
When you are ill it can be hard to imagine how you could do "work" or go on a training programme. Thankfully it is possible because your symptoms will start improving on the first day. Thereafter you will keep on improving as long as you apply the Lightning Process techniques consistently until you are fully well.
We believe it is entirely reasonable to be unsure whether you will get the same results as the other people who have recovered from their illnesses. Most people believe there is no 'cure' for M.E let alone that it really is true that symptoms can be cleared in a few days or weeks. Some people you come across will be cynical and dismissive because as they havn't done the training, they don't understand how the Lightning Process works.
But if after talking to others who have already used the Lightning Process to get well, you are still cynical yourself, you are probably not ready. If you still think that it's impossible for your particular symptoms to go, or that the recovery stories are all exaggerated or untrue, or that your mind and body are unconnected entities, then you are not ready to do the LP training. At this point we suggest you still need to either find out more about it, or look for something else to help you.
