Full recoveries...To be Fair...

[Recovery Soon]

In fairness to Ashok, I cannot categorically state that no one is getting fully cured with this program.

After re-reading 5 of the posts in Full Recovery Stories, it does appear there is evidence that some individuals have been fully cured.

Good on yer mate!

We seem to be locked into this'' full recovery'' before we try this ?
NOTHING has given me improvement except this ! Drugs, Antibiotics,steroids heavy metal chelation. vitamin regimes, Glutithione supplements etc etc ALL made me worse ? [bedridden for 10 m0nths] House bound for 16 months......
What other disease do you go to the DR and expect 100% recovery ? There are shades of improvement.... the body is not a machine.. it is a very complex organism. You get cancer , they cut it out.... but is the disease process still there ? probably ! [ we dont know ]. it may reamerge at a later date. MS comes and goes.... Asthma...comes and goes ! Some people get an infection.... Antibiotics dont touch it ?....yet the next person took the same drugs and it worked.!
Im not saying 100% recovery is not possible with Ashoks programme... but IMPROVEMENT is worth every effort in doing this .Let 2009 be YOUR healthy Year..

The person claiming 100% recoveries is Ashok Gupta, in extraordinarily high numbers. And his claims are being evaluated, as they should be.

Your satisfaction with the program is another valuable piece of the puzzle to all those compiling information on the sidelines. The more we have, the better everyone will be.

Next week will be the anniversary of my start with Amygdala Retraining, a moment to take stock and share my experience with you.
I’m 53, and I had been suffering from CFS for four years. In 2003, after relocating to Malta with my family, my new job – the job of my dreams – came along with a ruinous workload. After few weeks only I was struck by a bladder infection, few months later I collapsed. After an entire month in bed, I gradually picked myself up, struggled on, re-started working with reduced hours, while the pains in my body became permanent. Eventually I even managed (and was crazy enough) to return to full-time work. But I was paying a very high price, going to work with dizziness and pains that would steadily increase during the day. There was no private or social life for me. Evenings and weekends lying flat, in pain, totally drained, unfit for any of the activities that would have made living in Malta worthwhile.

The end of my contract came four years later – finally a chance to look after my health. After five more months in which I took care to improve my diet (something not to be underestimated), I discovered cfsrecovery.com and started my therapy on 4th January 2008. For the first six months, I can say the programme has worked for me exactly as promised on the web site. After three months, I was considerably better, and after six months had my energy back, pains were virtually gone, I was back into a normal life, albeit still unemployed.

Today, a full year later and back in Germany, this is my evaluation:
[b]Energy-wise[/b], I’m 100% fine, energetic like I used to be. I can do extended jobs, long walks, bike-trekking and I’m sure everything else I would want to.
[b]Psychologically[/b], I’m happy and grateful. It’s me again taking the decisions; my life is no more governed by an illness. Moreover, I can well relate to the observations of some of the ex-patients of the video-testimonials when they say they are feeling in some respect stronger than ever before. I’m confident that I now know how much I can take, and what to do, should another difficult situation arise. So I have surely even gained something out of it.
There is even [b]medical evidence[/b] that Amygdala Retraining has readjusted my glandular productions. Before starting with guptaprogramme, I had some analyses done (see my post at “CFS and Lyme diseaseâ€

Wow! Thanks for that thorough explanation. And congratulations on your near full recovery. Its very encouraging.

Hi Recovery Soon,

thanks a lot for your reply, as it showed me that my message came across in the way it was intended. I wasn't 100% sure, given I'm not writing in my mother tongue.

Meantime I was thinking of two observations that might be added to my list of indicators for full recovery.

Firstly: During the four years of my illness, my immune system was so much on the go that I didn't get any other infections, flus, or colds, during all that time. Not even once. I was like immunized towards them. Now, since I'm this much better, I'm getting colds, sore throat, running nose, etc, like everybody else. Hurray!

The other thing: During my illness, I had also developed symptoms of Chemical Sensitivity towards preservatives in food. From sulfites in wine, and also from benzoic acid and the like, I would get a tremendous heartbeat for hours, which, when happening in the evening, also would not permit sleeping. With my recovery, these over-sensitive reactions to preservative chemicals disappeared completely. I would take this is an indicator that also sufferers from MCS might take advantage of using guptaprogramme, retraining their amygdalas and get rid of some of their symptoms!

Does this mean that allergies and food intolerances will also go away?

[kenvj]

Well not for me anyway, I'm still troubled by allergies and food intolerance.

[Recovery Soon]

its funny how this affects different people in different ways. My symptoms have been primarily fluey like, sore throat, headache, etc...

It's almost impossible now to now if I have a cold, or if it's just CFS.

I have those symptoms sometimes. But only for a few weeks after i get a cold.
When i get a cold, it goes away, but then i have flu-like symtpoms for a week or 2 after its gone. That feeling hangs around for a while and comes and goes.

Recovery Soon, thank you for all your postings. I think that you're observations regarding the Gupta program are astute, and have produced some valuable discussions.

I question whether or not 100% recovery from a serious illness such as CFS is possible. The illness is part of your experience - it's impossible to return to a state in which your mind and body had not experienced it, especially if that was some years ago. If you have a "down" day, as we all do from time to time, is it just a bad day or is it evidence that you're not completely cured? I expect different people would give different responses.

I've heard it said that alcoholics are never cured, even if they never take another drink. Cancer patients can be in remission for many years, but are often very reluctant to consider themselves to be cured. The analogies are imperfect, buy may be close enough to help explain why so few "full recovery" testimonials are evident.

Whether or not a complete recovery is possible, I'm greatly encouraged by the various endorsements of the Gupta program at this site. It seems to hold more promise than anything else I've seen so far as an effective means of coping with CFS. Maybe 95% is close enough.
