Many people have now applied the Lightning Process for chronic pain whether it be arthritic, muscular or neuropathic in origin.

Alicia Adcock's describes the changes that she got with the lightning process, from complex regional pain syndrome in the Times 9 March 2010. 

She developed the chronic pain disorder after pulling a door open on to her foot.

"One in every 4,000 people in the UK suffers from the syndrome. It can leave patients in such agony that they say they want to cut off the affected limb. "At A&E the X-rays showed that my foot was not broken. But the pain remained unbearable and neither painkillers nor physiotherapy worked," she says. "Tasks such as putting shoes on and showering were almost impossible."

After two and a half years, Adcock's family offered to pay for her to attend a three-day course in "Lightning Process",

"It's a training course, not a treatment. They make that clear before you start," says Adcock. "They assess you by phone before they agree to take you on, to see if you have got the right mindset. They want to know that you are ready to change how you approach things. Actually, I was quietly unconvinced about the course, which cost around £800. My grandma and great aunt said that they would pay. I put it off for months because I did not want them to waste their money. I was sceptical the first day, but when on the second I was able to walk properly for the first time in two years, I started to think that it could work.

"I went last September, and I am still having to do what they taught me every day. You basically coach yourself to change. You have to step around a mat on the floor, telling yourself that you are a 'powerful genius'. It sounds wacky but there's sense to it. You are powerful enough to make yourself ill by thinking in a certain way — if you can do that to yourself, you can also use your mind to stop this process.

"For the first month, you have to do it numerous times a day. Now I do it once or twice daily. It takes two minutes at most. It makes you realise that your brain can do a lot more than you realise. In fact, it's sort of irritating that something so simple has changed everything, when I spent two years going through tears and pain." For the full press article click here.
