The '''Lightning Process''' is a psychological intervention created by [[Phil Parker]] that has been promoted to [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] patients as a cure. It gets its name because it is supposed to cure in three days.<ref name="CDC-lp">{{Cite news | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news2/background/health/lightning-process.html | title = Lightning Process: Controversial training programme comes to Canada | last = Cormier | first = Zoe | date = Apr 18, 2008|work=CBC news|access-date=Apr 20, 2019|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|publisher=|quote=}}</ref> ==Overview== The Lightning Process claims to be a combination of [[neurolinguistic programming]] (NLP), [[positive psychology]] and [[osteopathy]].<ref name="Anderson2021" /><ref name="Chellamuthu2022" /> The content of the process is copyrighted but according to patient reports involves affirmations and counteracting negative thoughts:<ref name="hubpages">{{Cite web|url=https://hubpages.com/health/The-Lightning-Process-Didnt-Work-For-me | title = The Lightning Process Didn't Work for Me | website = HubPages|language=en|access-date=2019-04-20}}</ref><ref name="Anderson2021" /> <blockquote>"You ask yourself if you want to choose happiness. Which you obviously do and then you say how fantastic you are to have stopped the negativity thought. You ask yourself what you really want, then you answer yourself, and again ask yourself how you are going to get there. The answer of course is to keep doing the process, getting rid of those negative thoughts. Then you tell yourself how great you are again and maybe have a bit of a hug with yourself, then... no nothing, that's it."<ref name="hubpages" /></blockquote> The cost is between £695 and £1,997 for a three day course with additional sessions up to £250 an hour. (September 2016 rates)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lightningprocess.co.uk/prices-and-taking-the-seminar/ | title = Prices and taking the seminar | last = Parker | first = Phil|website=The Lightning Process (LP)|language=en-GB|access-date=2021-11-20}}</ref> The Lightning Process is based on the view that [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] is a "stress response" which leaves the person's body constantly on alert. It includes some [[cognitive behavioral therapy]], a form of psychotherapy.<ref name="Landmark2001" /> ==Evidence== The Lightning Process is not based on any theory derived by studying patients with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia or any particular illness or disease. LP practioners do not normally have either medical or mental health qualifications or training, they act as life coaches/trainers. The Lightning Process has not been tested with any randomized, controlled trials.ref name="Toussaint2012"/> Evidence of benefits largely comes from personal testimonials, which often mention medical diagnoses that have not been confirmed from medical records, and it is not possible to know if patients later relapsed. Before being accepted on a training course patients are expected to do preparatory work ''and'' to be psychologically "ready to engage" which appears to involve an assessment during a pre-course telephone call which includes already having the belief that change is possibly using the LP, and the belief in their own capability to recover/resolve their own issues.<ref name="Anderson2021" /> These conditions are likely to bias any outcomes when compared with controls or people undertaking a treatment which is open to everyone. ==Harms, risks and side effects== Harms, risks and side effects are not documented in scientific literature, with the exception of Anderson et al. (2021), who reported "no serious adverse effects" in the controversial [[SMILE trial]] in children.<ref name="Anderson2021" /> The LP states it is a training course, not a treatment. ===Anecdotal evidence of patient harm=== According to a national survey by the Norwegian ME association [[ME Foreningen]] in (2012), Lightning Process was found to be one of the treatments that has done the most harm to patients. The Lightning Process resulted in 50% of the [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]] patients reporting that LP had made their condition worse, 25% seriously worse. 30% reported that LP had no effect on symptoms.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.me-foreningen.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ME-Nat-Norwegian-Survey-Abr-Eng-Ver.pdf | title =Norwegian ME Association National Survey Abridged|version=English | date = May 12, 2014 | last = ME Foreningen | authorlink = ME Foreningen |language=en}}</ref> ===Attempted suicides=== In 2011, a 13 year-old Norwegian boy with ME attempted suicide after he failed to improve with the Lightning Process.<ref name="suicide">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nrk.no/livsstil/forsokte-selvmord-etter-me-kurs-1.7891470 | title = Forsøkte selvmord etter ME-kurs | last = Sand | first = Camilla | date = 2011-11-26 | website = NRK|language=nb-NO|access-date=2019-04-20}}</ref> In 2020, a Twitter user came forward with her story of 10 years of intense [[depression]] and [[suicide]] attempts as a result of being [[Medical gaslighting|gaslit]] by the Lightning Process as a child.<ref name="scam">{{Cite web|url=https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wk5yw-fcbbf1 | title = Alice Urbino: scam 'lightning process' causes internalized gaslighting - beware of charlatans | last = | first = | website = Podbean Development|language=en|access-date=2021-05-19}}</ref> ==Studies with ME/CFS== ====King's College London Study ==== A small non-randomised qualitative study took place at King's College London, reporting in 2012.

They were interviewed after undergoing the process along with three of their parents.<ref name="Reme2012" /> Seven participants reported being satisfied with two as dissatisfied.

The trial tested the effectiveness of a neurolinguistic programming intervention (used widely but never formally tested) in children and young people with chronic fatigue recruited between 2010 and 2013. Though the number of participants was small, analysis suggested a benefit in terms of physical function (measured by the standard SF 36 scale) at both 6 and 12 months after intervention. :Since publication, the study has been criticised for failing to meet ICMJE and BMJ policy on trial registration and for not fully adhering to CONSORT guidance on trial reporting. The journal has been criticised for not detecting these issues during editorial and peer review. We have acknowledged these comments and reviewed our processes in relation to this paper and relating to EQUATOR guidance in general. In addition, we have received clarifications from the authors which are under editorial consideration.<ref name="ADC" /> '''[[Trial By Error]] by [[David Tuller]], DrPH via [[Virology blog]]''' *Dec 13, 2017, [http://www.virology.ws/2017/12/13/trial-by-error-the-smile-trials-undisclosed-outcomes/ The SMILE Trial's Undisclosed Outcome-Swapping] *Jan 17, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/01/17/trial-by-error-professor-crawleys-bogus-buzzfeed-claims/ Professor Crawley’s Bogus BuzzFeed Claims] *Jan 30, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/01/30/trial-by-error-a-letter-to-archives-of-disease-in-childhood/ A Letter to Archives of Disease in Childhood] *Feb 19, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/02/19/trial-by-error-a-letter-to-bmj-open/ A Letter to BMJ Open] *March 7, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/03/07/trial-by-error-my-exchange-with-archives-of-disease-in-childhood/ My Exchange With Archives of Disease in Childhood] *May 28, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/05/28/trial-by-error-nices-consideration-of-the-lightning-process/ NICE’s Consideration of the Lightning Process] *Jun 4, 2018,[http://www.virology.ws/2018/06/04/trial-by-error-bmj-still-looking-into-lightning-process-paper/ BMJ Still “Looking Into” Lightning Process Paper] *Jun 11, 1018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/06/11/trial-by-error-more-letters-about-bmjs-flawed-pediatric-studies/ More Letters About BMJ's Flawed Pediatric Studies] *Jul 11, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/07/11/trial-by-error-waiting-for-godlee/ Waiting for Godlee] *Jul 11, 2018, [http://www.virology.ws/2018/07/11/trial-by-error-my-letter-to-the-science-and-technology-committee/ Trial By Error: My Letter to Parliament’s Science and Technology Committee] *Aug 21, 2019, Trial By Error: [https://www.virology.ws/2019/08/21/trial-by-error-joan-mcparlands-lightning-process-experience/ Joan Parland's Lightning Process Experience] ==Controversy== ===British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruling=== In 2012 the British [[Advertising Standards Authority]] ruled against claims on the Lightning Process (LP) website.<ref name="ad-ASA2018">{{Cite web | last = Advertising Standards Authority {{!}} Committee of Advertising Practice | authorlink = Advertising Standards Authority|first = |website=Advertising Standards Authority | date = August 2012|access-date=2022-06-05|url=https://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2012/8/Phil-Parker-Group-Ltd/SHP_ADJ_158035.aspx#.Vro3WduLRD9 | title = ASA Ruling on Phil Parker Group Ltd}}</ref> The ASA upheld a complaint from Hampshire County Council trading standards made about false claims about the use and effectiveness of LP on ME/CFS. The claims were that "Our survey found that 81.3%* of clients report that they no longer have the issues they came with by day three of the LP course", which the complainant stated "misleadingly implied that the Lightning Process could treat or cure CFS/ME." The ASA noted, "the website breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 3.1 (Misleading advertising), 3.7 (Substantiation) and 12.1 (Medicines, medical devices, health-related products and beauty products)." The ASA ruled that Phil Parker Ltd should not make medical claims for the LP unless they were supported with robust evidence and the company was not to refer to conditions for which advice should be sought from suitably qualified health professionals. ===The Nordic Consumer Ombudsman=== The 2017 Agenda for the Nordic Consumer Ombudsman ruled that it is illegal to claim that any alternative medicine treatment is effective against specific illnesses and conditions.
