Lightning Process - discussion thread

I was viewing the MEAction page on Lightning Process
https://mepedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Process#:~:text=Harms%2C%20risks%20and%20side%20effectsedit%20edit%20source,training%20course%2C%20not%20a%20treatment.

And followed on of the links to anecdotal stories from people who did the course and DID NOT recover. Sharing it here in case it is of use for future reference. The posts are not dated.

There are some stories at lp-fortelling.no as well, although I believe it has already been posted.

BBC Con or Cure - Long COVID The Lightning Process

I have not watched it yet.

 

Its negative against the lightning process but its more "this doesn't make sense based on what we know about Long Covid" and not "this is outright quackery and exploitation".

Where I am meh is the idea that a third recover and the other 2/3s should be "supported patients in their recovery". I don't think that high of a recovery rate is remotely supportable yet by anything but some truly awful studies that should not be used and the wider set of studies certainly don't suggest its that high like RECOVER. The idea patients should be supported with treatments brings up some questions about what treatments exactly they are referring to and the only thing they say is therapy for fatigue.

Talks a bit about the various fads too that have occurred on antihistamines, HBOT and apheresis but patients aren't asking for those. Since all patients are being offered is therapy why would they be asking for their blood to filtered since the NHS doesn't offer it or oxygen therapy that the NHS also doesn't provide or antihistamines they can buy in the pharmacy?!

A lot of what is said by the doctor is based on bad papers from the UK and not a lot from some of the better international papers.
