The subtext is that if we don't recover it's because we don't really want to or <I>haven't yet seen the light</I>. <BR/><BR/>If you are referring to the LP, I did 'the process' in December 07, I really gave it my best shot and yes, it's a potentially useful tool but I do not believe that it is likely to cure someone M.E., no matter how many people they show who claim to be cured after the three-day programme. <BR/><BR/>EFT is the new thing in these parts - it's all about tapping acupressure points and affirmations. Nothing wrong with that, and again, it may well be useful for all kinds of things. There are a growing number of evangelists. I tried this too, and so did Mr. S when he had a cold, without success. <BR/><BR/>Of course we keep trying, of course we keep wanting - and are vulnerable to every new thing that comes shouting hallelujah.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-52420380163316870412009-04-09T21:26:00.000+00:002009-04-09T21:26:00.000+00:00Oh Signs, those promises of the miracle cure ... I...Oh Signs, those promises of the miracle cure ... <BR/><BR/>I was contemplating doing 'the process' because I know a trainee practitioner. I'm skeptical although curious at the same time. If I am being honest, I see it as a potentially useful tool which may help in *some* situations but I still fail to see how it could reverse a chronic illness in 3 days.<BR/><BR/>We all fall for it though, a bit like buying a lottery ticket. You're buying hope, and you think, well maybe .... just maybe .....<BR/><BR/>I had a conversation with someone who claims to be recovered from ME (although I suspect that she suffers with depression and not ME as I have experienced it). Her exact words to me were, "You can recover any time you want!" Any time I WANT??!! I asked her why I didn't recover years ago. It is annoying to encounter the attitude that illness is something we have chosen and that the 'cure' is to make the choice not to be ill any more.
