Phil Parker's Lightning Process again ... · 30 August 2007
I am constantly asked questions about the Lightning Process and feel constantly frustrated by it.
Finding the website Fatigue Answers has helped to understand what Phil Parker’s therapy is.
Please click on: Fatigue answers to find what they say about it.
However although Fatigue Answers says that the Lightning Process is not psychotherapy, Phil Parker tells us he uses Hypnotherapy which is a tool of psychotherapy.
Phil Parker also uses NLP (nuerolinguistic programming) which although some say is not psychotherapy, the name itself implies that something is being done to the brain so therefore is a type of psychotherapy. So I think of NLP as a tool of psychotherapy.
However back to Fatigue Answers I don’t agree with their explanation of ME and the adrenaline ‘loop’.
If the ‘loop’ is the cause of ME, why do the omega fish oils and calcium supplements and enzymes help me so much?
I can understand that the adrenaline loop is draining and so anything is going to help but if that is the case surely I would be deplete in all nutrients, losing weight, looking thin and very ill etc.
Since taking omega fish oils and then the calcium, my ME symptoms appear to be few now.
I suppose I would say that I am almost normal BUT only if I stick to a strict regime which in layME terms is called pacing; and to my way of thinking my routine seems to be a similar situation to where Phil Parker gets his patients as well; to a routine that suits them and provided they keep to it they can lead ‘normal’ lives.
In the early days of Phil Parker and his Lightning Process, no-one knew what it was and now Phil Parker is informing us through his website. What intrigues me, is that some if not all of his patients are also advised to use other techniques to aid their recovery namely – good food, exercise and massage.
I seem to have got myself to the same place that Phil Parker gets his patients to but in my case only using good food, exercise and massage and pacing. Interesting isn’t it?
I am not against Phil Parker and his therapy. Really I am not. I am sure we all need some psycho-analysing. I know I do.
Maybe it was too rigorous in the past and maybe he has added, changed and tweaked his process and now perhaps it may very well help those with ME although now his process is not dissimilar to many other ‘cures’ for ME.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who had the Phil Parker experience about 4 or 5 years ago and for them to be honest and say what it was and then to compare that to someone having the Phil Parker experience now.
