Recovery Stories
Bev Bodenstein - M.E. Recovery Story
 I've seen tremendous improvement in my energy levels and daily activities since I participated in the recovery course with Russell Stubbs. I'd had M.E. for eight and a half years, starting after a series of vicious viral attacks. My life crashed dramatically and I began the route, common to so many of us, of searching for a cure or at least some relief. I eventually fell into a depression - all part of M.E. I know - and that was devastating. Although I lifted out of that, it became very difficult to get out of negative thought patterns, and the effects of energy depletion. I seemed always anxious and was easily overwhelmed by even previously routine tasks, or situations. I found little peace and joy as my mind went into negative over-think.
It was at this point that I was given a lead to the Lightning Process. I followed it up and eventually arranged to attend Russell Stubbs training in London. Before the training, Russell phoned me and coached me, making sure I could download his relaxation recording and gave me instructions on the relaxation and energy balancing methods he has put together. These were immediately effective.
On the three day course we were a group of men and women all with such similar symptoms and anxieties. Russell's training was excellent. At the end of day one, we had learned how to break unhealthy, energy draining thought patterns and attitudes, especially towards the illness and its symptoms. All the time, Russell would build into the course techniques to assist the process, to relax body and mind and build energy levels - I found this to be extremely helpful.
That first night, I immediately experienced the renewed energy levels that result from following the principles we had learned. At the end of the course, every one of us was enjoying new energy levels and we observed how many of our symptoms were fading. I continue to use the techniques of the LP and other therapeutic tools that Russell taught us. I feel that my mind, body (and spirit) have made incredible progress on the road to good health. I have much more physical and mental energy, resilience, positivity, joy and peace since the course. I look forward to continuing to enhance my life using all the tools that Russell brought into the training.
The training made so much sense and is built on sound, scientific principles. If you are suffering with chronic fatigue problems from any source, burnout, depression, M.E., Fibromyalgia etc.- or just debilitating stress levels, take the training with Russell and get a "box of tools" to turn your life around.

Recent research on ME/CFS indicates a state of permanent distress response – sustained arousal – in CFS patients.

Based upon our findings, we have formulated a theory of sustained arousal in CFS, which seems to correspond quite neatly to the theoretical considerations underlying the Lightning Process.
