Vitality Show and the Lightning Process

The team and I are back in the office following a weekend at the Vitality Show and what a weekend it was.  We had a great time meeting lots of new people and telling them all about the Lightning Process.  Even better was the amount of Lightning Process graduates that came and said hello and shared their amazing stories of what they had achieved since they took their training.  A great start to spring!

Lightning Process Graduate News

I started my day with a baby photo sent from a lovely client who trained with me a couple of years ago and a note saying:  Here is a picture of baby no. 2.  Would have never, ever had a second child if I had not done the Lightning Process. Feel so relieved ( that I can't describe) that I did ! 

Congratulations to her and her family and what a brilliant way to start the day!

Phil Parker and the origins of the Lightning Process

When Phil Parker was 19, he had an accident, which resulted in him severing the ulnar nerve in his left arm. The ulnar nerve is also known as the Musicians nerve, as it connects the brain to fine movement in the fingers. As a trainee Osteopath and aspiring Rock God guitarist, being able to use his left hand was vital. Doctors told him that he would not be able to move his fingers again, and would have a ‘claw hand’.

However Phil kept asking experts of their prognosis. The response he got was the same negative prognosis. He kept asking until he found a physiotherapist who said that he had a good chance of full recovery, which is exactly what happened.

This tenacity and questioning mind influenced Phil’s approach to questions of health and recovery, so that when he was told that people couldn’t recover from ME/CFS, he didn’t accept this way of thinking, and started exploring ways in which these people could be helped. Consequently he developed the Lightning Process, which has thousands of people report has helped them regain their health!

Is ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome real?

I came across a comment about someone who had written to Action for ME claiming that ME/CFS was not a real condition.

This flies in the face of the facts: the World Health Organisation recognises ME/CFS as a real physical condition.

I don’t know what motivates this person to make these sort of comments. It could be that:

They like to make controversial statements.

They genuinely believe that their opinion (lets be clear it is an opinion, and a misinformed one at that) to be true.

They simply cannot grasp the idea that someone could have this kind of condition, so that they choose to dismiss it.

The question that I am interested in is how do you deal with someone who makes these sorts of comments? For someone who is experiencing this condition, these comments can be hurtful and offensive. I would suggest you consider the following:

How would you respond to someone who told you that your hair is green? Unless it is actually green, you would laugh, or perhaps think they were a bit strange. You hopefully wouldn’t wasted any breath trying to persuade them that your hair wasn’t green because there is no doubt in your mind that your hair isn’t green. 

Consider that this is the appropriate response to someone who makes such statements. Trying to convince them that they are wrong is probably going to be a waste of time, so it is better to accept that you have a different point of view, and focus your energy on the task of getting well.
