You do have to bare in mind that although the lightning process is shown to be the most effective (though not that effective) treatment, its also the one which has probably cost the patient the most out of any of the surveyed treatments. When i looked into it i would have to pay for several of treatment and pay for the cost of living nearby as well, it worked out to be alot of money. I think anyone who has been on this has had to invest alot of money in it, and frankly would like to feel they had benefited at least somewhat from it. Psycologically, its preferable to say (and feel) like it had some value, rather than feeling that it had little or no value.
Im not saying the lightning process has no value, maybe it has, as I said I havent tried it, but I think its worth bearing in mind the psycological 'cost-desired benefit' factor here.
One of the things i did try was GET and the impact was horrendous.
One final point. As there is not yet a test for ME/CFS it seems likely to me that approx. 10% of us (those diagnosed with ME/CFS) actually have something else. So for me, I look at all of these reported improvements to be less than actualy reported when it comes to the appox. 90% of us with true ME/CFS.
