Explanation of ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia
By the Clinic’s Director, Ashok Gupta

I’m excited to share with you my explanation of ME/CFS, which I have spent the last ten years researching and refining. It is based on my medical paper which was published in a peer reviewed medical journal in 2002. The paper was first published online in 2000. Normally this therapy was only available to a relatively small number of patients that I am able to see at my clinic, but now everyone in the world can experience its powerful effects.

see medical paper online!

I believe that ME/CFS, and Fibromyalgia are conditions that are essentially caused and perpetuated by a brain structure called the amygdala. The amygdala is deep in the brain in the unconscious, and normally we don’t have much control over its functions. But by using the DVD programme, a patient can learn to start gaining control over this unconscious brain structure. Over time a person can then “retrain the amygdala”, and recover from ME/CFS and other related conditions. This is really exciting news!

These conditions normally start at a time when someone is going through a particularly stressful period in their lives. This is then often combined with some kind of physical stressor, like a virus, or bacterial infection, or something else, and around 70% of patients can recall some kind of physical illness at the start (for those of you who don’t recall a specific trigger, the explanation is still fully valid).

The combination of these two effects then causes a trauma in the amygdala; basically the amygdala stops functioning normally and goes into an imbalanced state. In this imbalanced state, the amygdala chronically over-stimulates something called the sympathetic nervous system, using various pathways including via the hypothalamus. This is the part of your system that reacts when you are under normal stress. But if this system is continuously stimulated for long periods of time, then it can cause toxic effects in the body, as well as all of the symptoms of ME/CFS, and Fibromyalgia. This can then cause secondary effects in the body, and sometimes researchers think that these secondary conditions are the cause of ME/CFS, but in fact they tend to be simply symptoms. The over-stimulation of the nervous system releases inappropriate amounts of stress hormones and other chemicals into the brain and into the body, which then cause most of the symptoms. This chronic over-stimulation has consequences for the endocrine (hormonal) system, the immune system, and just about every single organ in the body.

This situation continues in the amygdala until its “over-zealous” activity is retrained using the conscious mind. There is ongoing communication between the amygdala and the conscious mind all the time, and this pattern of communication can be interrupted and retrained. We are not normally aware of these patterns because they are unconscious, but they can be brought to conscious awareness, and then these patterns can be broken. This can be done through the therapies contained in the DVD programme, and it is something that everyone in the world can do.

There are some other therapies available which believe that symptoms of ME/CFS are messages from the body, and certain practitioners use therapies which help patients interpret those messages and act upon them. I believe that these processes are essentially also retraining the amygdala as well, but in a different indirect way to the way I provide. I believe they act as pattern breaks in the communication between the conscious mind and the amygdala, and so achieve a similar effect. I humbly admit that I cannot be sure, and maybe there is something more going on with those therapies, and only further comparative research will be able to conclude on this.

There is a full explanation of ME/CFS on the DVD programme, which will explain everything in detail. When I go through the full explanation of ME/CFS with people, I find that the vast majority tend to agree with the explanation, and it seems to explain a lot of their own experiences. In fact, for most people they can breathe a big sigh of relief because finally they have an explanation of what is going on, and that is half the battle won already!

If you are suffering from any of these conditions, then I want you to know that I know how you feel – I’ve been there. And then there is so much stuff on the internet, with so many different explanations for ME/CFS. All I can say is that I encourage you to use my programme for 6 months and you really will see how it will help you recover from ME/CFS – this is guaranteed. I hope that you feel that I make that statement with integrity, as my aim is to help as many people around the world who are suffering needlessly from this condition.
