MLMs are within the definition of cults.

For newer members: we have many threads on the Lightning Process. You can find them by clicking on the Lightning Process tag at the top left of the thread. Our main public thread is here.

Are they brainwashed by NLP? Are Phil Parker paying them or persuading then to do it? Are they made up?

At a meeting of the American Philosophical Association, I met a philosopher who had CFS and recovered through using an intervention called the Lightning Process.76 It is a brain-mind-body approach that is like cognitive behavioral therapy in some ways; it teaches the person with CFS to exercise some conscious influence on brain function to affect physiological changes. 77 In hope, I read the books and hired a Lightning Process practitioner to work with me for a few days. Within a few months, I was walking ten miles a day, and I have not had CFS symptoms since.

77 I thank Phil Parker for help drafting this sentence.

80 I thank Aaron Cobb, Nick Colgrove, Katherine Dormandy, Errol Katayama, Phil Parker, Alexandra Romanyshyn, Eric Silverman, and Kevin Timpe for comments on a draft of this paper.

Brilliant, philosophers are up to this as well as psychologists?

Just noting that the 'research' in the 'Psychosomatic research' forum category does not necessarily indicate that any science has gone on in the threads within it. Quite often it's advertising and/or uninformed opinion.

The virtues of humility, patience, prudence, courage, and hope mitigate the deprivations of CFS and promote well-being.​

Do they promote effective science?

Interesting that he drafted that

To me seems clear he is trying to use the fact they didn’t ban CBT altogether - although the cfs-CBT actually is banned and should have been worded as such and described as dangerous like a conversion course - to try and play on the negligent ignorance of gatekeepers who won’t update themselves that the material /ideology is ‘what’ the treatment is and these things are just the delivery mechanisms so CBT can be extremely harmful and they should be checking it too.

The fact something harmful is hiding pretending it isn’t harmful by using that some CbT isn’t harmful but it’s like the harmful type and yet no one checks

Well it should be a wake up call for the moral and safety obligations of all of healthcare.
