Recently, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) found pseudoscientific and expensive 'The Lightning Process' useless for #ME.

The decision provoked quite a reaction from Live Landmark (Lightning Process 'advanced' member) and her supporters. 1/
Context: Lightning Process is a trademarked 3-day 'miracle' course developed by a self-declared spiritual healer and sold to patients with chronic illnesses.

The business plan, recruitment of coaches and royalty payment to the founder, is often compared to pyramid schemes. 2/

They claim that the "NICE guideline is a result of activism, not research"

Point 11 on pseudoscience: claims there's a conspiracy to suppress their ideas.

30 years later these motives are still there, always.
“The use of extensive laboratory investigation may be psychologically harmful to the patient by reinforcing their beliefs about serious physical disease.” - Michael Sharpe.

We see this very same absurd narrative being used to suppress #LongCovid patients now.
More history of corruption:

"No doubt Sharpe’s concern over costs were due to his links with the medical insurance industry, including Unum Group formally known as UnumProvident. In 1994, Unum reported that no other disease surpassed the rate of increase of ME/CFS..."
