Have you guys tried any of these programs?
YES.
And it didn't work.
But then I recovered anyway, thanks to a pharmaceutical drug. Yes, I later found out that my illness was caused by some problem with my blood circulation, and in fact the medication that I took improves the blood flow to the brain and circulation in general. Here is my full story, if you're interested:

So, I spent three months doing the lightning process, repeating things out loud like "STOP" every time I had a symptom, even though my symptom was due to the fact that my muscles, lungs, heart and brain were probably lacking enough oxygen due to poor blood circulation. But I was instead blaming myself, thinking that I wasn't improving because I wasn't doing the LP right, and this just made me feel more depressed an anxious than ever. So yes, these therapies can be harmful, they were to me (my mental health) and to so many other patients.
Every person that developed most of these programs had ME/CFS!!!
The problem is that people assume that ME/CFS is an homogeneous disease and that everybody's symptoms come from the same root cause. Well, from what I've seen and experienced, it's not. ME/CFS is an endpoint, but there are subsets with different root causes. Assuming that everybody has the same thing is the biggest obstacle to progressing treatment research for this patient population. I do believe that the people that developed these therapies and people who recovered with these therapies were sick with a manifestation of ME/CFS, but I'm 100% sure that they didn't have what I had and what probably most other people (like Jennifer Brea, Jeff, and other who recovered with craniocervical fusion surgery) had. You can try these therapies if you want, but be aware that many people achieved remission with drugs (like me), other pharmacological therapies, stem cells or even surgery too, which is quite telling in my opinion.
