    Great interview! Thanks so much! I can relate to what you said Raelan about getting the flu was a break for you. Before I became ill, I was going all the time. At one time I hurt my ankle and felt like it was a break for me to rest, unfortunately after I healed from that I went back to pushing myself, I didn't listen to what my body needed. Thanks so much Sarah for sharing your story! It gives me hope!

    Thank you Raelan and Sarah, I love your sincerity and commitment to helping others. I am fully convinced that my CFS is an ANS dysfunction and so a neurological approach is the way to go. I haven't done any programme, preferring instead to create my own daily regime. I'm at the beginning of focusing on it, so not ready to share just yet! However I'm convinced I'll recover. I recommend following Raelan's posting about how she listens inwards and finds out from her body what action she should be taking to regain her health. I have found this tremendously helpful. It might also help people watching this video to decide if the Lightning Process is the programme for them. Many thanks Raelan, I hope you are taking time to give yourself fun and joy.

    So much awesomeness! I've been thinking a lot lately about the role of stressful thoughts in terms of my medical condition and recovery. It's stressful enough just having a chronic illness. That's not to say that I believe that stress is the cause of my illness, but this is an excellent example of someone (Sara) reversing things by changing her thought patterns. It would be interesting to know to what extent stress has a role in ME/CFS. We all seem to be high achievers and running on adrenaline. I stress about having this illness, showing up for others, finances, getting through the day, etc... I have come to realize that have zero tolerance for stress. It really hits me hard, often times as hard as physical activity. Always a thought-provoking interview, Raelan! Thanks again!😁

When I moved to England from Azerbaijan and I was finally in a more ‘relaxed’ environment I felt like my bodies ability and willingness to handle stress dropped dramatically and my tolerance was next to nothing as well. I’m so sorry that you are going through this but I have total hope that you will heal and put this difficult time behind you.

      @Cassie03 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've been wondering the same thing, so glad you asked Raelan this question! I think the American culture in general is MUCH less healthy than other countries so I think it takes much longer for us to heal because our generational ill health goes back so much further. Also I think because of this Americans generally tend to have more than one type of chronic illness, definitely complicating the healing process. I myself have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but also have Bipolar, PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), and Fibromyalgia. A lot of things recommended for healing only Chronic Fatigue Syndrome don't tend to work with having other serious chronic illnesses, such as melatonin for sleep, as on the label it will tell you not to use melatonin if you have a depressive disorder, which both Bipolar and PMDD are, and I found out the hard way that is true! Also you have to be so careful with any supplements you take that might work for CFS alone because it might flare up one of the other illnesses, such as taking a natural antidepressant such as SAM-E, when you also have Bipolar you can't take that without also taking a natural mood stabilizer such as Lithium Orotate or it could throw you into a horrible hypomanic or manic episode!

    I can’t even find a position that is bearable to lie on.
    I have severe depersonalisation.
    I have done meditation etc for decades.
    I always assume I will get better and before I got this severe I always assumed I could do things and did them only to get worse again.
    I already love myself.

    • @Cassie03

      It sounds like you've done a great job on the mental aspect of healing! It sounds like your CFS needs the physical body health approach now. I have healed SO MUCH over the years by being as impeccable as possible with my health and that's what's REALLY been changing things for me. Before I started working on my health to heal my chronic and mental illnesses, I took the more mind approach and don't get me wrong, it did help a lot, I had a horrible childhood and it helped so much with healing from that, but once I started focusing on healing my body thru lifestyle changes is when I started seeing the REAL progress in my illnesses! The first huge change I saw was when I stopped dumping toxins on my head in the form of shampoo! Once I stopped using conventional shampoo and conditioner, I no longer had my severe suicidal bipolar depressive episodes! Every time I cut out more and more chemicals in the products I used on my body, in my home, in my food (hello USDA Certified Organic!) and the more I delved into the world of raw foods, raw fermented foods, sprouted foods, juicing, detoxing inn general, the more and more improvement I see! I get discouraged sometimes because it's been a 7 year long healing journey for me so far, but during that time I've also had so, incredibly much unavoidable stress, which greatly hinders the healing process! I didn't start my recovery journey until after I was pregnant with my 3rd child (in a 4 year time span!) so if you're able to do all these healing things while your single and with getting rid of any stress that's avoidable, I believe you could heal much quicker than me!

    Not to judge, but the LP seminor introduces the praticising of the technique the second day and so actually you recovered in 2 days. LP talks about neuroplasticity and switching of the fight or flight. It is a conditioned respons. So changing neuro pathways take at least 60 days...

    • @6473n64m19
      @6473n64m19 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      leahvibes I’m really sorry that you went through that, on top of you’re already pre-existing health issues... it must have been really traumatic, so much so that your brain, which is amazing, would do anything to protect you... including going into a permanent fight/flight/freeze state in order to keep you safe... Do you really think that it is the carbon monoxide, several years later, that is still inside your body making you sick? Or for some, is it a virus that just never is cured? Or for others, a perpetual mold reaction? This is silliness, as if you were to put several people in your position, in my position, or in other people’s circumstances where they got CFS, they may have not have ended up getting it... Why? Not because of some fault of our bodies, the opposite in fact, the mechanisms that are meant to protect us are working SO well, that it shoots us these horrible and nasty symptoms to keep us safe.... because, what is pain? What are symptoms? They indicate danger... So, do I say it’s all in the mind? No! But it is all in the brain, and the brain perpetually makes adaptations to circulation, digestion, metabolism, energy production and so on... The brain’s power to create insane levels of misery, to keep you distracted, is beyond anything a virus, or mold or whatever could do to you. It is you, that is ignorant for not coming to this realization. I’m sure, just like virtually all of us, there has been plenty of anxiety, perfectionism, goodism, trauma, self-doubt, self-esteem issues and or abandonment issues in your life, prior to your condition. I’m sure that the misery of the condition, further perpetuated these deep and dark feelings.... The way out is to turn down that stress response, and it doesn’t go away by doing nothing. I almost recovered at one point, went from struggling to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time to having symptom-free days filled with exercise in about 2-3 weeks time. How I did that was, I understood the “phantom” nature of my symptoms, and pushed on confidently despite them, as exercise does not cause CFS realapses, your physical emergency response at the time of the exercise does... exercise is healthy. Unfortunately, as I dove back into full time work too quickly, I hadn’t sorted out the kind of traits that lead to my CFS in the first place, and I’m back at square one (although I’m back at the gym for the first time in awhile).... this is why training like the lightning process works, it helps you tell your brain that it’s safe. It’s not bullshit, it is Psychoneuroimmunology.... My whole point is that you just see that CFS is generated by the brain, and it is a reversible process. You are not broken. If you decide that you are, then you are. Also, look back at your life leading up to illness, you will find that you have been “building” chronic illness for awhile, I know that I had.... I hope this helps, take care and be well

      leahvibes I hope you read this... I’m sorry that I made you feel the way that you do about my comments, it was not my goal to make you feel shitty... But I just have to ask you: Is this movie that you are playing in your head, this one about you going through this event and being forever damaged and being able to never recover, is it a helpful one? Does it make you feel good? Does it give you hope? I sincerely hope that you change that line of thinking and understand that there IS hope for you to recover and reclaim your life, as thousands around you have with this terrible condition. I’m trying to get you to see that you CAN fix this, you CAN get better... I don’t see anything cruel in this, perhaps my delivery which was somewhat insensitive (personally, it comes from my experience on forums, which is overly negative and makes my blood boil)... you CAN do this. Stop analyzing so much and start channeling that part of yourself that IS well.

      Why? CFS is a neurological problem. If you can impact your neurology with conscious thoughts, it’s a very direct way of getting it done... in a way, wether if you progress through diet or through graded exercise or whatever, your neurology changes and you become more hopeful as you’re able to engage in more symptom free activities and your world, which is so small begins to expand. It’s all brain training dude

    One half of me is like, wow that sounds amazing! I want to try it. The other half is like it sounds dodgy! Its a rip off! So wonder how much it costs? Because anyone who really wants to help wont make money out of sick people. And only people who want to rip people off will ask, well how much is your health worth to you? I think most people with CFS/ME have financial problems already.

      That’s why I give out information for free. I want to help people. To be honest it was the best money I have ever spent in my life. I started working again a few months after doing the LP so in my opinion I would have paid even more. You cannot put a price on getting your life and health back.

And that Phrase"how much is your health worth to you" is exactly my point. I find it almost an extortion. Either you pay a huge amount of money or you stay sick for ever. Doesnt sound any good to me. If it workes great, but then it would be only fair to say, if it worked give what is was worth to you. And if it didnt, then only pay the cover costs. Anything what is way beyond coverage cost is rip off in my opinion. Thats just taking advantage of peoples miserable situation. And 650£ on average for 3 days for something that might work...???

      "This Sarah" is a real person Paula. The people who share stories are human and Sarah seems like a wonderful one. We should be building one another up and cheering one another on. Please consider that the people who take time to share their stories for free do so from love. I assume you're coming from a good place, but please consider how putting your fears on someone else isn't helpful. I know most people wait a year or so and enjoy their lives before sharing their story (and many people who chose not to share their recovery story), but I think it's wonderful that Sarah is sharing hers here to inspire others.

      Hi Paula, I personally know Sarah from many years ago when she used to live in Oman whom I met through her sister, she used to be part of our friend's group and we used to all always hang out. I assure you, she is extremely energetic, good spirited and always always positive! It is exactly as she says, "let's go for it!" attitude. Seeing this video shocked me, even though we lost touch for many many years but remain social media friends now; I assure you, she is not the type to "lie" or make up this story. So no, this is most certainly not "all too good to be true", and I can most definitely vouch for her!

    Thank you for posting this interview Raelan. So, Sarah went from being bed bound to full recovery in three days and not a single MECFS symptom since? Very difficult to believe.
    Raelan this may sound cynical but I'm concerned that channels such as yours are being "targeted" by people who have some sort of outside interest in the lightning process and use your channel's time as a sort of sales testimonial. These "miracle instant cure" stories are just too far fetched. Just my .02.

      I do not gain anything from sharing my story. I am not a Lightning Process practitioner nor do I work for them in anyway. I’m sorry that you have doubts but I will continue to share my story because I WANT to HELP. Of course it took some time to fully build my physical strength but going for a 15 minute walk after the second day of doing the LP brought more joy than you can imagine. I understand your concern and I fully appreciate what you are saying but it saddens me that I openly share personal details of my life and get a comment like this. Have you even looked at my Instagram account? I literally give out so much of my own time and energy to try and help as many people as I can. I’m sorry that you cannot see my sincerity.

      @@sarahdreyer171 Sarah - Your desire to help others may be quite sincere. If it is, then it would be helpful to acknowledge the Lightning process is a controversial and costly treatment that works for some and not for others. There is certainly a risk that it might work for someone else and it also might not. That should be acknowledged in interviews such as this one. You mentioned in the interview that you did a lot of research prior to making your treatment decision. I would think that research would have uncovered those facts. Strudelworm's link below mentions the ME association does not currently recommend the LP - did you read that during your research? So a better approach might have been to say "after my research I knew going in that this process may or may not work. It has both proponents and critics." If you had said that your interview would have more credibility.
      You also mention at 26:17 that on the third day of the lightning process you were jumping on the trampoline and totally recovered. But above you are saying it took some time to build your physical strength. It also would have been helpful to detail the amount of time it took to build your physical strength, how you did that and how long that took after completing the LP. Complete recovery by the third day and having to take time afterwards to build your strength are two different things.
      This risk applies to all treatments for MECFS - not just the LP. Graded exercise therapy has both proponents and critics as well. And I'm sure any/all other treatments do too since there is no magic bullet for this illness. Always best to present both sides. Otherwise as Raelan said it just seems too good to be true.
