Ah, but you need to pick your expert carefully...

Phil Parker, designer of the Lightning Process discusses the latest research into the xmrv virus and cfs

@ Slides 13 and 14

How this relates to the Lightning Process​

• If we assume that on average:

– 67% of the cases of CFS clients that are
seen with the LP have the XMRV virus,

– And according to our findings 85% of
these people recover their health in the 3
days of the LP programme

LP and XMRV

• The LP must be assisting these people to
deal effectively with that infection in some
way (we would hypothesise it is a
resumption of good immune and neurological function)

I have so many things to say but don’t even know where to start? ...that man is pretty audacious. It’s almost like he lives in an alternate universe where the laws of logic do not apply and any turn of events can be twisted to neatly fit his “hypothesis”.

 

And speaking of the laws of logic (for those who may not have seen this before - from 2007 - and one wonders what E Crawley has to say about it):

(Again, apologies for taking the thread OT. Enough already.)

 

I guess he should work up a new line in magical healing for the neck...a few crystals wafting in the general vicinity should give him enough credibility to develop a new “magical” process to fleece more cash out of the unsuspecting. Or perhaps a chant to reprogram the bones magical resonance.

 

I'm surprised he's not already putting in his two penn'orth. And don't overlook that LP is (so he claims) part based on osteopathy (is that the bit where you use your bones and muscles to jump into - or is it out of - the circle, while chanting: "I am just doing - sorry, dûing ME?")
