Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I went to the website, listened to one " testimonial " and then pretty much dismissed it. I just don't think you can believe online testimonials. It's like a health mag. that my wife picked up at a health food store about 10 years ago. There was an article about how this person 'recovered' from CFS by taking milk thistle and some other stuff sold at the health food store. After trying 10-20 of these types of 'cures', I have come to be a little more discerning on what I spend my money on.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I haven't tried amygdala training specifically for CFS, but I have done some work with it for stress and relaxation and have found it helpful. Since stress can make life a lot worse for people with CFS, there may well be something to this. I don't know what they teach at the website you mentioned, but you can get a lot of free info at the link below. Neil Slade does sell his self published books, which I like, but he is also fairly generous with info on his site. Slade worked with a brain and behavior researcher for years, he's a musician and can be a little " out there " , but I have found it a huge help to work with my amygdala as he describes. It is fast way to get into either a meditative state or something resembling it, and thus lowering your stress levels. http://www.neilslade.com/chart.html Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 It is free if it does not work. That is a very fast dissmisal. I am not so quick to do so. I listened to all of them. Sure I am skeptical, but this people seem to have accomplished what tons of nutritional supplements did for me. > > > > Ok so has anyone here actually tried it? > > > > Yes know I asked this before but the title was not descriptive. > > > > > > link: > > > > http://www.cfsrecovery.com/ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 > > > > http://www.neilslade.com/chart.html > > > I'm not familiar with the amygdala-training from Gupta, but on the above site I don't see anything new. It's basic psychology to me, but with all that amygdala-retraining and newfound creativeness, you'd think he could've created a better page layout for his site... You'll learn the same with CBT: when you get negative thoughts, first ask yourself if your thoughts are realistic and if it isn't better to replace the thoughts with thoughts that are more helpful. So if you go through life thinking that you're not useful anymore because of your illness, ask yourself if that is really true. Probably not. You can replace your thought, for instance, by thinking: I may not be able to do what I used to, but with all my new experiences I have learned a great deal and I can help other people who are in the same situation and comfort them. It's pretty much common sense, I think. , if you're interested in it, why not try it? Testimonials on one's own site certainly aren't very reliable, but if you don't like it you'll get you're money back and you don't have to wonder anymore if it will help you. A cheaper yet not refundable option may be Stress management for Dummies: http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/productCd-0764551442.html Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I asked him to send me the kit so I could review it on my website - he sent it and I'm going to try it out. I know it is possible to retrain some aspects of the autonomic nervous system. Cort benitez_ricardo <benitez_ricardo@...> wrote: Are you able to click it?
