[@wilmaflintstone4849]

I did the LP years ago. Neither I nor the other 2 people on my course recovered. I do believe in brain retraining modalities, and am now doing ANS Rewire, but I believe that it will take time to lay down new neural pathways so am in it for the long haul! I would say though, that there is absolutely no reason for the LP course to be as expensive as it is. I'm glad it worked for Valerie though-it must be amazing to have your health back!

[@Truehoon]

I bought one of his books. "Get the life you want" ....IS this book pretty much the same as the LP or does the LP have some hidden teachings in it.? ..thanks. ....12CFS now and hoping it over now. So many of these probgrams could be written in a $20 book but now a days they just make a program and charge thousands which especially CFS like us cant afford.

[@clarissericardo2313]

Thank you for this interview! Valerie congratulations 🎊🎈 you are free now ! Go and live the life of your dreams ! I have a doubt that it’s difficult to find an answer. Imagine that you are taking psychiatric medication that injured your brain but you still have to taking it because it will take lots of time to wean off. Does the brain retraining still works ? Does the brain can get to homeostasis while thanking the insulting drug ? I don’t know if anyone feels like this , I find my case very complex because involves extreme brain sensitivity, and this feeling of fight or flight in my head with very loud tinnitus especially when my hormones shifts . I basically know how I’m going to feel everyday of my monthly circle. Depending the hormones I’m more or less depress lots of adrenaline in my ovulation and crashes every hormonal shifts . I started with a little brain retraining but I’m not sure if I should follow another route since I’m still taking this meds and have Lyme as well. Anyone here with a similar experience that have recovered with brain retraining ? I feel my brain it’s broken 😞

[@RaelanAgle]

💛💛💛

[@lingeske]

I’m having a similar experience. My big onset was due to a psychiatric medication. I’m continuously highly nervous and experience many symptoms like tinnitus, insomnia… I became highly sensitive to many things, including my own hormones. I have spoken to a woman who experienced something similar and was able to fully recover, although it took her many years. As a complicating factor, I have PCOS, so my hormones have very abnormal levels too. I would love to hear a recovery story too, as I’m working on it but am only making very slow progress.

[@clarissericardo2313]

@@lingeske exactly the same my hormones are out of wack . And I don’t know if it’s from antidepressants or cfs or Lyme … the issue now for me is that I was polydruged again so I can’t see an end of sight. Because our brains need to heal without the meds, and if it’s from antidepressants it can be taking years but I wouldn’t mind if I got better and cfs was only part of the process … nice to meet someone with same issues , although I wish we didn’t have to deal with this …

[@clarissericardo2313]

@@lingeske are you still on meds ?

[@lingeske]

@@clarissericardo2313 I’m at the moment tapering a benzo for hopefully the last time and then I would be off everything. If I succeed, it will have taken me 4,5 years from when I unfortunately first started polydrugged medications. Let’s hope that nature is kind on us and heals us well. I already had the hormonal issue since I was a teen. It’s not related to the medication or CFS. Although they do influence each other a ton, I’m sure.

I only just found this, it was posted two years ago, Valerie thank you so much for sharing your story and what got you well, thank you also to You Raelan for your channel, for helping us all. I have had ME/CFS for 5 1/2 decades I am now 68. I have no family or friends for support, no savings or assets as I have never been able to hold a job for long enough due to my ill health, so it makes doing a recovery course impossible. I have gained a bit of knowledge from KZbin and what others are sharing, I’m trying to piece it together to help myself, only this week did I find out about brain training and self soothing. listening to Valerie story has given me a little bit more hope that I may recover. My love to everybody else that is suffering with this debilitating illness.♥️

Raelan, her recovery seem quicker because when she took the lightning program, she had already worked on the other three pillars so the brain retraining/lightning program was the last piece of the puzzle. She had been working from the bottom up for years.

Thank you Valerie and Raelan. I’m 68 and in a similar position I also have done the LProcess. However, it still continues to be a struggle. I experience fatigue and migraines, so concentration and lack of energy were a problem and in the end I gave up LP.

As a follower of your videos I was so impressed listening to Valerie's recovery story. I've had CFS/ME for what seems forever, about 12 years, following a brain injury. I did consider the 'Lightening Process' as I've tried other therapies/treatments, but I'm still sat on the fence. I would like to know the clinic she used (in London) for this form of treatment. I live in the UK. Thank you so much Raelan for all your good work in putting out video's - I watch them all....and live in hope!!😊

[@mcg9147]

So many people who have been homebound disabled for decades with CFS/ME and obviously living on very little income because of this situation. Wouldn't this Lightning Process thing be shared for free? No life and no earning a living means a segment of people who need to be helped in any way possible. I'm not against those earning a living helping others. My only point is that we're talking about a predominantly very poor population from being disabled and help needs to reach them. I am one of them and living on $14000 per year and lucky I have that much to live on.

[@JacquiQ]

I am 57, nearly 58. I have been ill with cfs for 22 years . I did a 3 day course based in TLP...I felt good after the three days but once home could not sustain any wellness. I don't know why. I gave up. My friend did it, she was much younger, but she got well in abt 3 months, and never looked back. I was told to do the technique 100 x day if I had to, I found this completely unsustainable and fatiguing It was just all too much . I don't know why it did not work. I know of a woman older than me, who after decades of cfs, booked herself into a rest home and just stares at the wall. She has completely given up. I have gone back to the brain retraining , but for me, I seem to need a lot more than just this brain stuff. I am still working at getting well, but sometimes I do think I can't do this anymore.

I would love to know what the lightening process is/ the one minute process. I've been working for 23 years to hear "fibromylagia" that turned neurological with optic neuritis/nerve damage 16 years ago-numbness, weakness, twitching/jerking, insomnia, neuro band on head, heart palps etc. I have no autoimmune diagnosis. I'm doing DNRS . I could write a novel on all the extreme diets, detox, amalgams out, mhbot, mexico treatments, homeopathy , supplements, yoga/meditatio, qi gong etc etc etc I've done over the many years ( Type A). Very sensitive to pharma, vaccine, surgery etc which all triggered disabling neuro attacks for me. Now I've developed GERD. Over the years I was also diagnosed hypthyroid, endometriosis, high BP . I find myself mostly couch bound -still walking each day/yoga and trying not to lose hope. Catching all my thoughts-it's challenging. I so want to heal and live life.

Really grateful for this video. I am 6 months into ANS rewire and experiencing a setback. Its discouraging. It's tempting to try LP but i think i just need to stick with ANS and trying my best with diet changes. I really needed the inspiration to continue. Thank you. Btw one of the biggest things with the program and diet changes is perfectionism. I feel down on myself that i am maybe not trying hard enough and thats why it hasn't worked yet, and then cynicism battles hope and tells me it wont work for me. Thats why i need to keep watching inspiring videos like this

It was like someone had thrown me a life line and I was hanging on for dear life.

[@Star5dg]

Could it be that those with cfs that's been affected at a biological / cellular level that recovery using brain training is unlikely or more challenging? What I mean by that is those with cfs and other issues such as arthritis, osteoporosis, ehlers danlos, lupus, bone loss in jaw, sevsre gun disease etc etc these individuals don't respond so well to brain training? What I see is recovery stories of people who have cfs and just cfs no biological damage at any level.i could be wrong. Regardless its nice to see this lady recovery after a very long time of being unwell

[@Moonberriess]

It may be possible, BIT brain reteainong can only help bc it calms the nervous system down, whoch then allows the body to heal. Its can only be helpful if you do it, but perhaps if its something biological, it may not get you 100%, but again, biologixal things have time to heal when the system is calmed down..

[@FreshAgenda]

Kelsie is right. Nothing happens without homeostasis. Homeostasis requires a balanced nervous system. Calming down that danger response is the first step. The more time you can spend in homeostasis the more things will change, but calming down is the very first thing that gets you on the path. For most it won't be overnight. The less time I spend getting spun up by the internet about this stuff the better I do. It's gradual.

I'll try and have hope again. I'm more on the FM side w/ a side helping of CFS, and chemically sensitive. The worst is the depression though. Some manage not to have that, but I seemed to have it before the environmental illness developed. Of course depression got much worse when I couldn't work or feel normal and do much of what made others so happy. It's been around 25 years. I'm in my 50's and just resigned.
