Some ex-ME/CFS and fibromyalgia sufferers have kindly written about their recovery experiences. These people describe their previous conditions and limitations along with the changes and insights that they’ve experienced during recovery.
I consider it the smartest choice I have ever made. My wife, family and friends can testify to me emerging as a completely different man, all for the better. I now use the all the techniques I learnt on a daily basis, and it works like magic.
My journey has been life altering. There is nothing that I can not do. Through hard work and perseverance I am exactly where I want to be in my life. I can not begin to describe the gratitude. Two days ago I went in for a check up at the doctors. He confirmed what I already knew. I am completely healed.
I have gone from strength to strength since meeting Russell and starting the work and am seeing the benefits of being able to exercise, spend time with my family and do the things that I have always wanted to do but wasn’t able to before. I would say to anyone that you are worth it and take the chance for lasting change in your life.
It was very interesting, simple and all made sense, yet also hard work to implement. Quite quickly my energy returned and my confidence in what I was capable of doing grew. I still have a way to go, but each week something clicks about the course, as you practise, and I feel good about myself. I am happier, calmer and much more in control of my life.

My energy levels have rocketed and I am capable of undertaking any reasonable task, this includes riding my bike again over significant distances!
I have the old me back. I cannot put into words the effect it has had on me. Suddenly my life is full again. Yes I can walk distances, I am now walking up to a mile and I have joined a ballroom and Latin dancing class. I am meeting new people and enjoying doing normal things.
That first night, I immediately experienced the renewed energy levels that result from following the principles we had learned. At the end of the course, every one of us was enjoying new energy levels and we observed how many of our symptoms were fading. I continue to use the techniques and other therapeutic tools that Russell taught us
I was always a hectic person, probably as far back as I can remember. By the age of 18 I had become a successful DJ and record producer. Despite my career going extraordinarily well, by the age of 21 I was heading for a burnout. I was advised by my doctor to take a vacation.
I went to Turkey and swam in the refreshing seas and tried to switch off. The refreshing seas were actually polluted with effluent and very soon I developed what I thought was just an ear ache. Because of the weakened state of my body and in
