My Abbots Magazine: Vanessa Crabtree's story July 2009
Vanessa attended Heather's seminar in May 2009
The article is a reporter's interpretation of the interview with Vanessa and there are some slight inaccuracies within the article, particularly that it is not possible to merely 'come along', there is an application process to be under-taken before being accepted on a seminar. However the results are as reported and Vanessa's belief that she has 'recovered' is fully supported by a letter from a doctor'.

Interim report on a research project with the Multiple Sclerosis Centre (Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre, registered charity number 1033731) and Lightning Process
Abstract: This Proof of Concept study was designed to consider the validity of the Lightning Process as an approach to provide benefit or not, to those with MS... The interim data shows that the LP provided benefit to all participants and there have been no incidents of negative effects. The data suggesst that it would be worth pursuing a full Randomised Controlled Trial.
Comment from the MSRC: This Proof of Concept study, although being in a small number of subjects, produced some very encouraging and worhtwhile results over a 6 month period following participation in the Lightning ProceThey indicate that the Lightning Process provides measurable benefits to those with MS and suggest that a further larger randomised study would be beneficial to investigate the role the Lightning Process plays in the well-being and quality of life of MS patients.

Important Medical Research
Performed by Dr. Vegard Bruun Wyller MD PhD at the Division of Paediatrics, Rikshospitalet University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.Dr. Bruun Wyller, considered to be one of Norway's leading experts on ME, says:
Recent research on CFS pathophysiology has revealed alterations of cardiovascular regulation and thermoregulation, characterized by enhanced sympathetic nervous activity and increased secretion of epinephrine. These findings indicate 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.
