Hi, thanks for sharing your story and I'm glad you are doing so much better.

I watched some of the video where Rebecca Tolin interviewed you and you seem like a lovely, sincere person. It's clear you were very sick and I feel you are sincere when you say this course helped you.

I think the trip you took where you had some improvement that led you to investigate mind-body approaches is noteworthy. Rebecca suggests that the trip was important to you, so when you started to crash, your mind essentially didn't let you crash, so you wouldn't ruin the trip for yourself and your companions.

I'd like to point out that your temporary improvement in 2016 on that trip doesn't necessarily point to a mind-body mechanism of healing.

If mold avoidance or location effect people were asked, they would say the new location / change of biome in the environment made you recover from the crash.

Other paradigms could come up with other explanations. The Jack Kruse people would say it's from more sunlight and/or less indoor time and exposure to EMFs. It could have been a dietary change... etc.

I'm sure you know that many people with ME, despite really wanting to do something, can't do it. I love hiking in the mountains too, and my mind has never been able to make that happen for me by getting my body in line.

Anyway, just my thoughts. I've been into spirituality and meditation for a long time and I really want this type of thing to work for me, and I have an open mind. I'm even tempted to try Rebecca's course (but that 7 day refund window is too short to risk losing that much money on it), but I've been disappointed so many times. I'm glad it's helped you!

Does the course teach you to ignore or push through symptoms? If you start to feel PEM, are you supposed to push through and not rest?

I'm sorry, @Viala. I was commenting wondering if you'd come across something or had an experience that had changed your mind, rather than in a spirit of confrontation. but I can understand how it would not feel nice. Again, I'm sorry; I didn't think enough before commenting.

Ah ok, no worries. Regarding mind-body methods I had one remission after I did some solid EFT, but as usual I tried other things at the same time so I'd rather say that something else helped. Although EFT can be quite powerful, so this itself could give a solid boost and produce happy hormones. I think it requires certain amount of energy anyways, it has always worked better for me when I had more energy.
