My son arrived at the retreat feeling fatigued. His complexion was pale, he had brain fog and no energy. He had difficulty walking.

After day one he looked a bit brighter and he was more keen to have a conversation over dinner.

After day two he went shopping and walked the distance of around two miles at a fast pace. He also built a Lego Star Wars ship which he would have struggled with before the Lightning Process. 

On the morning of day three, he woke up at 7am and played tennis before going to the retreat. He also had a swim in the pool at Swallows before lunch. 

After being at the retreat, he felt very well and happy to be going to school — he said he didn't remember ever feeling so happy. 

He walked with his friends to school (about a mile and a half), and I had a call form his student support teacher in disbelief at him being back at school and how well he looked — she had seen him before the Lightning Process and knew how unwell he looked.

His energy levels have continued to stay highg, and he's even back doing Kung Fu after school. It is such a joy to see. He has also returned to a healthy sleeping pattern.

I cannot thank you enough, you are a genius who has given our son his life back.

It's been three years since you gave me a life line, in the form of the Lightning Process.

Life has never been better, we have just come back from a walking holiday in North Wales and climbed Cadair Idris, which was hard work but worth it. When I think that I had difficulty walking just a few hundred metres before coming to you, it's amazing. 

We are planning to climb Snowdon next year.

Thank you for teaching me such a wonderful process.

I want to thank you for showing me I can do anything and everything after having M.E.

Before I did the Lightning Process I didn't believe in myself at all, and I thought that I would never be in full health, be happy with myself or what I would achieve.

Now I am always looking on the bright side — I'm much more confident, and I'm not shy anymore. I volunteer at the British Heart Foundation charity shop, which I love because I am always meeting new people.

Thank you for showing me how to be strong and live a life I love!

My life has changed so much this past year, and I owe it all to you.

I've finished year 11 at school, and managed to complete my maths and english GCSEs — something I never thought I'd be able to do, and I'm starting full time at sixth form college soon.

I've also been working as a volunteer in school, and it keeps me really active and I love it. As well as that I'm going swimming and to the gym three times a week. 

I still think about the things you said and taught me, and whenever I'm down or struggling it always helps me get through. 

You're such an inspiration and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet you and do the Lightning Process.

Since the Lightning Process, I've been super busy. It's only been ten days since I completed the course but I've been visiting friends, been on a march for peace, performed in a choir concert and am hosting a dinner party tonight. I've also been applying for lots of jobs.

Illness just feels so separate from me now — I hardly ever have to think about it and the time when I had to plan how to conserve energy or worry I wouldn't be able to manage seem like a lifetime ago, almost that of another person.

I am so, so thankful for everything you've done.

And I'm spreading the word, too. I have such faith in the process!

The lightning process has really changed my life for the better. For a while I never thought I would be able to get a full time job, but now I have one — working in London! It's very exciting — and it's all thanks to you and the amazing work you do.

After LP

I have been doing the process as much as possible, about 25-30 times a day and I feel completely normal. I don't wear my glasses anymore because even my eyesight has so much better.

I have found I concentrate better in class, and I no longer wake up in the night. I am VERY, VERY happy with the outcome from the Lightning Process, thank you so, so, so much!

Struggled to sleep, suffered with aches and pains as well as headaches and chronic fatigue. 

After LP

Since doing the course, I've made a stunning recovery. Using the Lightning Process, I'm able to wake up feeling refreshed every morning, and without any pain. 

I've been to lots of birthday parties, and taken part in school plays and was involved in my school's summer music concert. 

I have a renewed self confidence and determination thanks to you, and the Lightning Process.

Had poor attendance at college due to exhaustion and illness.

After LP

For the first time ever, I have had excellent attendance throughout the year and am getting distinctions in all subjects. I wake up at 6am every morning, and feel full of energy. I also now have a part-time job, and feel perfectly normal.

Thank you for transforming my life.
