Hiya
Has anyone tried or know of feedback for things like the Gupta program, mickel therapy, NLP,EFT etc

Not necessarily as a cure but at a way of dealing dealin with the stress and emotional sides of CFS.

I've had CFS for about 8 years but it's more recently that I'm becoming more stressed, worried, developed OCD and lower mood and becoming more sensitive to chemicals/smells etc

I'm really light sensitive so struggle researching things myself and am hoping someone can help me out

Finances are an issue as is energy so don't want to waste either without at least good feedback :)

Thanks in advance

I've done EFT, NLP, Reverse Therapy (like Mickel Therapy), Gupta, and the Lightning Process. Personally I would not recommend them but I know that some people find them helpful. For me, nothing beats pacing and meditation.

Hii!

Wanting to be perfectly honest here. I have never tried any of these programs. That is based very largely on the feedback here on DS that others have given. Most do NOT find any kind of lasting, good effect from these programs and in the meantime are spending more money than they have.

I wish I had better news for you than that. But we all know that some things work for some of us, and the same things do nothing for others. I hate to see people go and spend money on "the chance" that it will help them. Sometimes, some of these programs (I'm not going to be specific here) have even made some us of sicker. Some of the supplements work well for sleep for some of us, and make others of us have racing hearts.

It's such a horrible illness to have. There is nothing that is in the "will help for sure" category. I wish you the best with whatever you try, but please be cautious, because your money is precious, and I would hate to see you throw it away until you know all there is to know about a program, and if you really want to pay for something that might not help you....at all!!

Blessings. I hope you are able to get confirmation on some of these programs that are positive. I'm sorry, I can't give that to you! xo

I'm in favor of meditation, careful exercising, good sleep hygiene, good eating habits...based on my own experience.

Not a cure, but good habits like this really help. I've never tried "programs", but like Darla I think that if they actually worked we would have heard more about it.

They are good financially...for the people who run the programs...LOL.

Hi there.I have used EFT and I do find it helps.My problem is that I forget to keep doing it, so thanks for reminding me again.It costs nothing as you can learn it from YouTube.It is very simple and easy to learn the tapping techniques.So why not give it a try, you have nothing to lose. .I have read about the Gupta program and it makes a lot of sense and I know people who have really improved by using it. I am interested in doing it myself, but just have too much on my plate at present.It does cost money but quite a reasonable amount in my opinion. In regards to NLP, you have to be very careful that the practioner is very qualified.In my opinion it can be dangerous in the wrong hands
I agree with Richie's good practical advice. Wishing you the best.Hugs

I'm already pretty good with my pacing and diet etc, its more for the stress and anxiety etc that I was wanting more success with, I've tried meditation but didn't have much success with it :)

Have you tried yoga nidra.It often comes under the category of body scans on YouTube. A friend here at DS suggested "The Honest Guys ".They have some good ones that you might like to try. Very relaxing. Or a body scan with John Kabat Zinn is also good.All on YouTube.
I really need to start doing them again.Good luck xo
