Very helpful in respect of resolving life changing decisions that were "blocking" my system. I now feel free to take on the challenge of the rest of my life.

Many thanks.

I was diagnosed with CFS last year. not really know that much about the illness, I was quite dismissive of it - as many people are still when they hear the dreaded acronym 'ME'. I had a typical 'it'll never happen to me' mindset about how badly it could affect my life, and didn't really take it seriously until I tried to go back to work part-time and was appalled at how seriously incapacitated i was.

Things got bleaker from that point as I could only see months, maybe even years of continual lethargy and lack of energy, motivation and self-esteem stretching ahead of me. I'm still young and had previously led a very active life with little time for illness to slow me down. It sounds dramatic, but I really felt like life could be over as I previously known it, and that I would never be 'me' again.

I was at my lowest point when I came across Reverse Therapy on the internet, but as read through the material on the website, the proverbial light bulb went on over my head. I immediately felt that it got to the heart of what was wrong with me and I could finally understand the reasons behind my symptoms - it just made intuitive sense to me. From the moment I called Tania to make the first appointment I felt complete ease with her and in tune with the whole concept behind Reverse Therapy.  

Progress was swift for me and I felt I was improving from as early as the 2nd session. Tania always seemed to pinpoint exactly the things that needed addressing most and was able to dispense advice and much-needed support for me through the early stages of my treatment which stood me in a good stead for later sessions and influenced my approach to my body and the exercises. I always left each session smiling , feeling relaxed and positive - even my family noticed the change in me on those days.

I can hardly believe the difference just a few months of therapy has made. I am able to do so much more than I was 6 months ago and I'm feeling something resembling 'normal'. It's not an exaggeration to say that my whole approach to life has change for the better as a result of Reverse Therapy. I feel in-tune with my body in a way I never was before. I'll never go back to being the person I was before I fell ill, but that's my own choice - I feel that a better 'me' has emerged from this process, and I'm really excited about the future, knowing that I'm now equipped to do what is right for me!

I had 18 months of being unable to concentrate or work in my profession, and was basically a physical and emotional train wreck, until I read John Eaton's book, and visited the Reverse Therapy website.

As soon as I understood the dynamics of Headmind and Bodymind, and the impact of living predominantly in Headmind, I could see a pathway to wellness and restoration.

My improvement from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to a semblance of normal life was quick; perhaps six weeks. Now I am not letting a single day pass without acknowledging Bodymind and leading a fun and balanced life.

Thanks to John and his awesome team, and the help of my coach in Perth, Western Austrlalia, I am now well. Thanks Toni!

Thanks to Reverse Therapy I now have a life!

I have learnt to follow the things that energise me and understand the things that have drained me.

This is still an ongoing process for me, but I have learnt to really value what my body is telling me, and to use this information to get well.

RB 2008

Once I was told the format in plain English and understood the concepts behind Reverse Therapy, we were able to compile a symptom-message.

With this information, I used it more as a back-stop/back-up support and began living in a way that fulfilled the symptom-message.

Therefore, I ensure I have variety every day and as much enjoyment as possible.

I can even function on 6 hours sleep where, before, it was more like 12 hours sleep, with constant pain, flu-like symptoms and tiredness.

For someone like me who was sceptical to begin with, I'm much better, and grateful for all the help.

Reverse Therapy was offered to me at just the right time in my life and it has been a Godsend.

It has turned my life around in a brilliant way. I now understand how to know when my body is talking to me and how to interpret what it is trying to say.

Also, learning that it's ok to say 'No', to cry, and to be nice to me!

DC 2008

DH 2008

If you have tried other approaches with limited success, or if you have only just been diagnosed, then give Reverse Therapy a go.

I did - Amazing.

The advice I would give to others is: Embrace what is being offered whole-heartedly. What do you have to lose?

AO 2008

I had been unwell to the point that I didn't want to continue some days.

I knew that when I was happy, I felt better. I had linked being unhappy to being ill and in pain.

I had been told that there was no cure. Now I believe that I can give myself permission to be happy and to be well.

Reverse Therapy taught me this in just 3 sessions.

Thank you.

Reverse Therapy brought me self-awareness and the realisation that something can be done about my symptoms, rather than that it was an external thing that was happening to me.

I had 4 sessions of Reverse Therapy and am now cured of M.E. after having had it for nearly 9 years after severe shingles.

I can't urge people enough to put aside any preconceived ideas about this debilitating illness, & any scepticism they might have, and try Reverse Therapy. It really works, as I and many others, can testify.

After 9 years I have got my life back & am starting walking & Pilates & hope to join a line-dance class soon. All seemed impossible dreams until I met my Reverse Therapy Practitioner.

My health has improved significantly as to be almost symptom-free.

Reverse Therapy has transformed my life - indeed - I feel I now have a life with the tools to deal with challenging/stressful situations in any way, without my health suffering.

My medication has now been reduced to a minimal amount.

I feel hopeful and excited about the future.

Thank you so much.

GG 2008

I consider that the first three and a half years of my retirement were ruined by M.E. My GP - who is an excellent fellow - was frank in saying that he was unable to help me further after arranging for extensive blood tests to be carried out. These tests did not show up anything extraordinary. I was a lost soul. Most weeks I had, on average, 3 days written off due to fatigue that would usually hit me around 9.30 am. And this would stay with me until around tea-time before any slight improvement happened.

Sleeping was easy but it was very shallow with any M.E. relief not lasting for any length of time. Pacing was a help but the results were short-lived and did not solve my problem.

During my so-called 'symptom-free' days I still felt well below par and I was conscious that I could not overtax myself with daily routine problems otherwise this would soon result in a bad M.E. day.

I essence M.E. controlled my life. Having any kind of set programme for the week ahead was difficult. I felt that I had nowhere to go with my M.E. problem towards achieving a cure.

Then, quite unexpectedly, I read an article on the Reverse Therapy M.E. cure. At this point I had no knowledge of Reverse Therapy or its success record with M.E. sufferers. I approached the whole thing with an open mind.

I now have completed my course of therapy (6 sessions) and I consider my cure to have been a complete success. I do not now have any more M.E. symptoms and I now control my own lifestyle programme and I continue to feel stronger in my body. Furthermore, I also understand why my M.E. symptoms were happening.

Equally comforting to me is that, should they reoccur at some time in the future, I now know how to deal with them.

I'd suffered with M.E. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for a long time and was willing to try anything so when I heard about Reverse Therapy I was keen to give it a go. 

The first session with my Reverse Therapist was a huge step in the right direction. Symptoms were lessened even after that first session.

The two weeks that followed were hard but I stuck with it and used my message as soon as I felt the symptoms come on. It is now a whole way of life for me - a bit like brushing your teeth!

I'm so glad I discovered Reverse Therapy. I have my life back! My therapist was brilliant - which helped enormously.

Reverse Therapy is truly amazing. I feel so lucky to have found the website in my quest to regain my health.

Once you make the connection with Bodymind needs, all symptoms are easily reversed.

MP 2007

After two and a half years suffering from diagnosed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I am completely recovered, and living a whole new life, thanks to Reverse Therapy.

I used to suffer many of the symptoms CFS sufferers will be familiar with - constant tiredness, throbbing, muscular aches, and, at times, a very foggy brain. I was unable to work, so lost my job. Sometimes it was even too much to face the 400m walk to the park with my toddler daughter.

But through a series of only half a dozen Reverse Therapy sessions I have learned to respond to my CFS symptoms in a way that has completely dissolved them away.

The techniques are simple, down-to-earth, practical and non-invasive. Having adjusted my approach to the symptoms I am now living with more energy, activity, variety and, best of all, fun!

I am now one of the lucky first few CFS sufferers to get Reverse Therapy treatment here in Australia (it has only recently reached our shores from the UK) but I would urge anyone with CFS to take it seriously and check it out.

YJ 2007

I started Reverse Therapy having read John Eaton's book and realising I'd been ill for years. I have suffered with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for so long it was actually part of my 'normal' life.

A great deal of what I read resonated with me and the way I had been feeling. However, I still had doubts and a fair degree of scepticism.

At our first meeting, Avril put me at ease and I felt for the VERY first time I was talking to someone who REALLY understood, cared, and most importantly - could help.

Together we embarked on a journey that has been liberating in many ways. I now feel almost entirely symptom-free. I still have a major stressor in my life but Reverse Therapy has given me the ability to manage my body's needs & emotions and, therefore, symptoms.

Listening to my body now I'm feeling confident that if I continue to listen to my body and take appropriate action my new-found health will last. So far I am going from strength to strength and beginning to enjoy life much more.

PG 2007

Having had M.E. for 11 years. I'd explored every possible route to success. I was cynical of miracles and deeply suspicious. The statistics provided by the Reverse Therapists, who have an 80% success rate, attracted me but I remained deeply sceptical. Some of this disbelief evaporated when I read Dr Eaton's book. If you're a charlatan, you don't publish all the details of what you do, in case you're rumbled. Further doubt evaporated when I sent questions to the Reverse Therapy website. Dr Eaton answered personally, in a way which engendered trust.

So I read the book and doubted. I re-read the book and lots of little pieces fell into place in my mind. Some of the concepts, initially, fly in the face of what the M.E. 'establishment' would have you believe - that only a yet-to-be-discovered little white pill will cure you. If you're absolutely rigid in your beliefs about what M.E. is then you'll find Reverse Therapy tough. But if you're prepared to have your preconceptions challenged, then go for the cure - which has changed the lives of so many.

I couldn't have found a better therapist than Jane Terris, who has clearly been trained with the utmost care. I can't thank her enough for driving the scourge of M.E. from my life and, in doing so, showing me the alternatives to my daily living, which has led me to being able to return to work.

People with M.E. will know how dark and hopeless the world can be. Jane Terris and Reverse Therapy have led me to a place of light and optimism.

LH 2007

Reverse Therapy helped me to get my life back. Having been diagnosed with Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome, I experienced many real and frightening physical symptoms such as extreme fatigue, sore throat, numb feet, severe pain and 'electrical tingling' in my head.

I had been unfortunate enough to read many 'horror stories' and had resigned myself to living a 'half-life' as a living zombie, unable to walk or perform basic tasks.

Upon starting Reverse Therapy the effects were almost instant and I slowly began to do 'normal' things such as doing the food shopping - I never thought I would be so happy to visit the supermarket!

However, all my symptoms didn't just disappear immediately and it took lots of patience, soul-searching and determination to recover.  If you decide to do Reverse Therapy it is important to be positive and keep faith that it does work, because it will so long as you listen to your needs/desires/wants. 

Six months later, I am now back at work part-time and enjoy growing vegetables, long walks and enjoying my life. Sure, I still experience some symptoms at times but I now have the tools and the confidence to know they won't last or stop me from doing what I really want to do.

Thank you to Antoine Bowes, my Reverse Therapist, who has been so fundamental in changing my life for the better.

I would advise anybody doing Reverse Therapy that you have to keep at it. It is subtle but it gets beautiful results.

I came to Nicky feeling very low and depressed, having little energy to put into my life.

After spending some time with Nicky - my symptoms all gone - I felt she really understood what was needed to bring those special feelings and the celebration back into my life. It's wonderful.

Thank you.

How can you thank someone for bringing you back to life after a living death? (And if that sounds dramatic - it was!).

I had severe M.E. for five years and for most of that time I was bed-ridden. I was unable to read, write, watch TV or even sit up without experiencing the most awful symptoms. Now, after 27 Reverse Therapy sessions over a period of 2 years, I am well on the way to full recovery and feel I have my life back again. I still have some symptoms but they are manageable. I feel I now have the tools and confidence to do the rest of the healing work myself. Each day of my new life seems like a miracle.

Thank you so much, John, for bringing Reverse Therapy to those of us in deep despair. And thank you, Antoine, my skilled and kind therapist, for your consistent support and encouragement.

I tell everyone I meet about Reverse Therapy and most people are very interested. I find it quite a 'crowd-puller' at parties and other gatherings! So the word is spreading....

PJ 2007

I couldn’t understand why I had developed severe stabbing pain in my muscles, fatigue, tingling sensations in my head & spine. I also felt as though I had a virus & my immune system was not working properly.

What I also couldn’t understand was why my symptoms decreased when on holiday abroad & increased at busy times such as Christmas etc

My GP said I had Fibrositis & that there was very little he could do to help, eventually I went to see a Rheumatologist who took several blood tests all of which were normal & told me I had Fibromyalgia & that there was very little he could offer apart from attending a pain clinic & physiotherapy - Fibromyalgia!! What’s that?

I decided to do some research on the internet but all the information I got was from America. However I did find out that there are millions of people with this condition, surely someone would know the answer as to what was causing these symptoms, I got the impression from the medical profession that really it was all in the head, in other words it was a psychological rather than a physical condition, how frustrating & hurtful this makes you feel

Since then I have taken several pills & potions, kept fit by going to the Gym & read numerous books, (all American), attended a Fibromyalgia help group etc, none of which helped. In the end I felt that I had to just get on with it as suggested by my GP, so I did just that, I put on a brave face & got on with everyday painful living. In fact none of my colleagues & most members of my family knew I was unwell, I kept it all to myself & continued to help others as I had always done.

Little did I know that keeping my problem to myself & not asking for help was not doing me any good.

I had finally come to the conclusion that there really was nothing to be done until I read an article in my local newspaper of a nurse Lyn White who had ME & had recovered after having Reverse Therapy & had become a therapist. Could she do anything for me?

During the first session Lyn explained in the most simple & understandable way why we have pain & that an area in the brain called the hypothalamus goes into overdrive if we ignore emotions and symptoms sent by our body to warn us of a difficult situation we need to act upon, & how this can lead to pain, she explained also how important it was to have variety in life including having fun, something I had forgotten about long ago

Lyn reassured me that Fibromyalgia is a physical illness based on neurological & hormonal changes & not a psychological disorder – Wow, at last I felt I was listening to someone who knew what they were talking about, she answered all my queries as to why I had all these symptoms, including why they disappeared on holiday, it really made sense.

I have completed my sessions with Lyn & although I found Bodymind difficult to understand at first, I stuck with it following all Lyn’s advice. I can honestly say that she has changed my life, I now have the tools to deal with any situation that life throws at me to help keep me keep free from pain, I feel I can now look forward to the future, it was worth every penny

If anyone in the medical profession reads this then I strongly advise them to read John Eaton’s book. It really does make sense. Most people with CFS/ME & Fibromyalgia are not malingerers, time wasters, hypochondriacs, we need help & thank goodness someone has finally found the a

Reverse Therapy has been fantastic for me - as if someone has opened up my life for me again. I am thoroughly satisfied with everything I've learned from the sessions. I find it incredible that there is someone out there to teach me all these things so directly, easily, and quickly. Wow!!!

LR 2007

I can't express how grateful I am to the work of John Eaton, his colleagues and, especially, to my therapist, Jane, without whom I wouldn't be where I am now.

I was a very active cyclist and an energetic person but was reduced to five-minute walks and a three-minute cycle in between spending a lot of time bonding with my sofa.

I had 5 sessions which were incredibly enlightening. I can't stress enough that it is so important to read John Eaton's book before you have your first session. It helps make sense of it all. Understanding how your Bodymind tries to get your attention using symptoms isn't easy at first but I found listening to the CD by Kathleen Haden every morning when I woke up very helpful.

It's only a few weeks since my last session and Bodymind is comfortable knowing that I won't be having any more sessions. I d have the odd wobble now and then, but now that I have a new approach to life, it doesn't take long to implement a change - be it in something I am doing physically, or telling someone how I'm feeling. I feel like the blinkers are off and life has no limits. But it's important to make those steps small and ask Bodymind how it feels towards situations and actions. I made a few wrong choices but I soon knew I was wrong and then twigged what I was doing to make it all right again.

I am now back on my bike and LOVING it. Everytime I go for a ride I come back feeling so alive and energised, I spring around like Tigger. It's amazing. I'm back and there's no stopping me.

If you've tried everything else, then try Reverse Therapy. It may seem simple but its effects are profound. Stick with it. Reverse Therapy helps you get to the root of dis-ease, unlike many other modalities that just treat symptoms. 

As a Nurse - and one who has tried multiple other treatments - I believe in Reverse Therapy. It makes sense and it is effective.

I don't think I would have recovered from M.E./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome without Reverse Therapy and i could have ended up 'pensioned off' at the age of 53. I found my first session of Reverse Therapy had an immediate impact and I felt as though a death sentence had been lifted from me. 

I cannot recommend Reverse Therapy highly enough.  

JD 2007

This is most definitely the only treatment that has worked for me.

I am back at work and enjoying it! I've learnt to say 'no' to unreasonable demands and am enjoying life.

It would be marvelous if Reverse Therapy could be on the NHS. 

This illness has cost me a lot over the past 20 years and the money I spent on Reverse Therapy has been well worth it.

KAH 2007

I had been ill with M.E. for 15 years and thought that this was going to be for the rest of my life. A friend recommended Reverse Therapy and I looked it up on the internet. After two weeks of reading the testimonials on the website and considering the therapy I decided to look for my nearest therapist. It tuned out to be a lady that herself had had M.E. so knew exactly what I was going through. She was kind and patient with me.

I read the book that she sent me and it all fell into place. I was reading all about myself!

I went along for my first therapy session and, although I was very emotionally drained when I left, I knew that I had found the answer to getting over M.E.

Five months after the therapy I went to Australia for 4 weeks - something I had only dreamt of before. I did not have one bad day the whole time I was there. 

It is now 9 months since I had Reverse Therapy and I am now looking for a part-time job. Would I recommend Reverse Therapy? You bet!

Since completing Reverse Therapy I feel much better equipped to deal with day-to-day life without becoming overwhelmed and exhausted. I find that I no longer feel 'ill' where before I was in constant pain from muscle spasms and continually tired.

I felt better pretty soon after reading your web-site. In fact, I woke up that night and realised that the tension in my shoulders had drained.

This has been confirmed by my Chiropractor - Dr Anna Hindley - who also treated me for yeast intolerance before and after Reverse Therapy. Before I began, there was a significant intolerance but now, even though there has been no dietary change, no problem can now be detected.

KA 2007

Prior to Reverse Therapy my chemical sensitivity and the severity of my reactions to chemical stimuli has resulted in my being housebound, unable to interact with others and with little. or no, quality of life. I had lost more than one-third of my body weight while experiencing BP fluctuations, regular dizziness and nausea. 

I had tried many therapies with little, or no success, and my discussions with other CFS sufferers did not give me much excitement about recovery.

Reverse Therapy has turned my life around in a matter of 6 months and one page is insufficient to express my thanks, appreciation, relief and joy that has resulted from this change.

Thank You.

GK 2007

Since completing Reverse Therapy, I am still feeling great; still dancing and going to concerts. I have increased my working hours to 20/week and expecting to do even more next month.

I'm still sleeping on average 10-10.5 hours per night but wake refreshed. If I am woken up earlier after, say, 9.5 hours, I'm still refreshed, and can still be active all day - and into the night.

My energy levels are good: I can run, dance, walk fast, think, concentrate, talk for hours, laugh, & have fun. I am so much more positive, and joyful, about life, and very happy.

Dear John

I feel compelled to write to you. I was diagnosed with Chronic fatigue 18 months ago. I felt angry and frustrated at what others advised me to do - eg rest !!!!!!!!!! when I desperately wanted to dance, be silly - whatever that means!

I read your book - it was giving me permission to be me. I read and read and I learned how much I had been blocking out me. I still get symptoms sometimes but I know why I need to be more me. Even as a child I remember I needed time alone so that at some point I could be what I referred to in adult life as 'grounded'. To do this I sat on the floor and just was ...... I always felt better afterwards.

I am a full-time painter and 6 years ago was going through some kind of crisis [as a reaction to someone else's crisis]. It resulted in a series or paintings of heads. Even at the time of doing them I refused to acknowledge why I painted them. A close friend did make a connection - he also wrote a piece about my work at that time and when I read it I cried because, although I could never say in words some of the things I feel, someone else had looked into my real self.

Your book is a wonderful tool in freeing a persons rigid perception of the world and themselves. It is if someone has a switched on a light. Many thanks for reading this when you must have so many others needing your help and who are as grateful as myself for your wonderful book.

Eight months into my ordeal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I was unable to walk, and occasional outings in my wheelchair were exhausting.

After only 3 weeks of Reverse Therapy with Kathleen Haden I booked a holiday, and 3 weeks after that I walked up a volcano!!

It's been 4 months now and I am fully functioning - working, socializing, and exercising to my heart's content.

I have not simply regained the energy levels I had before CFS, I now have more energy than I have ever experienced in my life. I have literally recovered 110 percent!

I am so grateful for my gift of chronic fatigue - it brought me John Eaton and his wonderful Reverse Therapy.

JH 2006

I first started feeling ill at the beginning of 1995. I’d just returned from a month’s training in Japan - I was an Olympic Judo competitor – and put it down to flu. Symptoms included severe muscle ache, sore throat, shivers, and no energy. I went to my local GP who gave me antibiotics, but these very strong symptoms came back at least twice in the following few months and my GP gave me more antibiotics. I would rest from training for a week then start again.

I gradually started feeling a lot worse - I was having trouble sleeping and I was feeling very depressed. I only had 12 months until the Olympic Games and being the British No. 1, ranked in the top 8 in the world and reaching the Olympic semi-finals in 1992 I was aiming for a medal. I went to the British Olympic Medical Centre and my Judo doctor who diagnosed glandular fever and post training fatigue syndrome. He prescribed rest and a slow return to full training.

However, I didn’t feel much better after 6 weeks and I was now taking sleeping tablets – although my body was tired the muscle pain just wouldn’t let me sleep without help. As my symptoms gradually became worse I went to see an ME specialist who confirmed that this was the right diagnosis for me, but he also said that lots of medication and a total detox alongside a new diet would get me well in a few months.

By now my training was minimal – I had to put all my strength and energy into my qualifying tournaments. After 3 ½ month’s of “treatment” costing a few thousand pounds (including replacing all the mercury fillings in my teeth), I was feeling worse – I was bedridden on some days and addicted to sleeping tablets and painkillers. I was still competing – unable to totally give up my dream and life – but lying and feigning injuries to get out of training. If I had told the selectors I would have been dropped straight away and seeing as I was still picking up medals and placings, they kept selecting me.

As a last resort I even went to see a Spiritualist healer but to no avail. I had my last competition in May 1996 – I didn’t make it to those Olympics. In a way I was relieved it was over – no more lying and pretending.

My illness however was not over and now I was taking anti-depressants and trying Cognitive Behavioural therapy, which lasted a few months. Over the following 10 years my symptoms would sometimes go, most commonly when I was on holiday and sometimes even for a few months, but they seemed to come back with no rhyme or reason seemingly worse than before.

My GP recommended I see an herbalist and at first I was positive and I started to feel marginally better but after a year it was obvious it was going nowhere. I was now back on anti-depressants and painkillers daily. I felt resigned to feeling like this for the rest of my life. I started to look at cutting my work down and I was at my absolute lowest. My partner is wonderful and set out on finding some help for me. She came across Reverse Therapy on the internet and sent me the web address. I sat in front of the computer for hours, sobbing – this was me.

I booked an appointment with Dr Eaton there and then. I needed only three sessions and four months. I now have my life back. I am able to make plans to go out even on week nights and I can now experience new things. I have also changed – for the better according to friends and family. I feel free. I can’t thank Dr Eaton and Reverse Therapy enough and I can’t believe there are so many people going through what I went through and think there is no cure. Always being let down by false hope.

Reverse Therapy is the answer. Read the book first – I found it a great help – and go into it 100%. You have nothing to lose but your poor health and life is too short.

LJ 2006

I suffered from CFS for 13 years, since the age of 15. I had all the usual symptoms: fatigue, brainfog, inability to concentrate, irritability, noise intolerance, coated tongue, diarrhea, puffy eyes, recurring viruses and infections etc.

There were periods when I slept for 15 hours a day, but still felt exhausted. The fatigue and brainfog would only cease for a couple of hours in the evenings, but most of the time I felt a lot less than normal. My brainfog assaulted me in most unexpected situations, but especially, as I later discovered (by making notes), my symptoms increased while reading, working on a computer, talking to people, and shopping. Of course it made these activities impossible or totally non-efficient. But I still had to cope with my life as other people did, because I wasn`t officially “sick.” Some GPs I visited didn`t have a clue what was wrong with me and suggested that nothing was wrong and that I should just “get more sleep, exercise more, work less and avoid cigarettes and alcohol.”

As all of these bits of advice didn`t improve my condition, I started to look for other ways to make myself feel better. I took ginseng pills, herbal mixtures and tried a few other alternative methods, but none of them had a lasting effect. So I was still at a loss as to what was wrong with me and what should I do. This situation would continue for another eight  years.

There was nothing I could do, so I led a seeming'y happy and successful life while suffering with most severe debilitating symptoms and being harldly able to work, study or read. Not knowing what`s wrong with me and not telling other people what I felt forced me into a kind of double-standard mode – I had to pretend that everything`s alright while I was actually very far from being so. I still managed to finish school, go travelling and graduate from the university. It just couldn`t be helped. I had to do these things. Knowing my diagnosis would have made it a little easier to bear for then at least I would have had an excuse for not being able to live a full life. From the outside I was well and happy while working, studying, going out, drinking with friends, and doing other things, but inside I felt like a zombie.
 
I came across a website on Reverse Therapy and I somehow immediately knew it was the answer to my prayers, the only way I could get my life back. I didn`t know then that it would take a long time of persistent effort to get well, but was ready to do anything it takes.
 
It was very hard in the beginning because I partly had to invent my own methods. from my reading of websites on Reverse Therapy (I live in Estonia). I had no clue what “the symptom message” would be like, so I was trying to figure that out for months to come. I also made notes without knowing how it should be done. I didn`t make any progress for the first 5-6 months. But I had hope.
 
It wasn`t until I read Dr. Eaton`s book in July `05 that I really started to make progress. Since I didn`t attend any sessions, I had to rely solely on my own understanding of the therapy, which was mainly based on Dr. Eaton`s book. It wasn`t easy to do it on myself because I didn`t have anybody to ask questions from, but reading this book over and over and relying on my intuition, I started to make slow but steady progress. I focused on my symptoms longer and more seriously than before and started to get a sense what`s really going on inside me. It took a lot of focusing, tuning in to symptoms, guessing, trying to put emotions in words and taking different actions – in short, a lot of trial and error – to get results.

But I made a giant leap forward shortly after reading Dr. Eaton`s book. As time went by, I realized that RT was not an easy process at all. It requires tons of perseverance! You have to be aware of your emotions and bo

Dear Dr Eaton

I haven't made a follow up appointment with you because, since 23rd May, I have been symptom-free. I did exactly what you said and, after lunch, I go out and have fun! I still feel my bodymind giving me the odd message but then I act on it immediately and all is well again.

I am off the Amitryptiline and will also be coming off the other drugs. I've lost a stone in weight, which is a welcome side-effect of my recovery!

I am so grateful to you for writing your book and for helping me fine-tune my understanding of what my body has been trying to teach me through the symptoms. I wouldn't have made that last connection about my afternoon fatigue by myself.

You have changed my life, outlook and future for the better in so many ways and I will never forget it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi John

Things are going really well. I still get the odd signal from my body when I'm not getting things right but they are few and far between and they don't turn into symptoms, I appear to be much more in touch with what my body needs and I don't have to be thinking about it all the time. I've been on holiday twice since I saw you last (hence the late up-date).

I wouldn't have believed 4 months ago that I would have been able to walk up Vesuvius (but I did) right to the top of the crater. Along with white water rafting, snow boarding, mountain biking and walking for hours around towns etc the holidays have been varied and really enjoyable and not at all inhibited by fatigue.

My activity list is well used and far more exciting than I'd anticipated it being! I've also returned to aerobics, horse riding and swimming (51 lengths is the most in one go)! I'm not holding back but I do sound like I'm boasting so I'll stop now! I'm also sleeping quite a bit better, I still have the occasional night when I wake very early in the morning but my sleep is nowhere near as broken. The pains I used to get in my legs is all but gone.

I have also started increasing my hours at work, so far so good. It's paying for someone to come and clean our house so that's very nice! People at work have commented on how much better I am and my manager is trying to find me extra things to do to stop me bouncing around being cheeky (he doesn't realise it will probably have the opposite effect)!

I'd still like more energy but it is building steadily. Thank goodness for the car accident I had, if I hadn't gone for physio, I wouldn't have been told about you and my poor hypothalamus would still have been in melt down!

Thank you

Whilst conventional medicine got me to a stage where I could manage my symptoms, the degree of activity that I could do in a day was still restricted. With Reverse Therapy my symptoms have completely disappeared.

I now feel as well as I felt before my M.E., with the added bonus that because I am talking more about how I feel, relationships in other areas of my life have improved. My husband and I are now much closer!

Before I found Reverse Therapy I had been through probably the hardest part of my life. Returning from a business trip to India I had become increasingly unwell, to the point of being admitted to hospital for a number of weeks with suspected meningitis. Although this was dismissed and no clear diagnosis was made.

Unfortunately, I didn't recover and I was unable to function normally for 9 months. I went to see various specialists and the final diagnosis was Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I found aout about Reverse Therapy through a friend of a friendand once I had read John Eaton's book I booked my first appointment. Upon meeting Tania and discussing the problems I was experiencing I knew that this was what I had been looking for and that I would get better. I also realised that I had suffered symptoms before at various points in my life and not ever resolved the underlying issues.

Through the practice of yoga I was already familiar with the ideas that are at the crux of Reverse Therapy and so almost immediately I knew how read and respond to the symptoms my body was creating. The sessions with Tania enabled me to identify what I had to deal with, and the actions to take, and very quickly I began to feel better.

I am incredibly thankful for all of the help and support I was given, but also that I became ill in the first place. It has helped me realise who I am and what is important to me and to move with life rather than against it.

I can honestly say that Reverse Therapy has played a huge role in my recovery from Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome.

I must admit I was rather dubious about Reverse Therapy before I commenced treatment. However, when I started to put the techniques into action I was surprised by how much better I began to feel - within a matter of weeks. 

Reverse Therapy is not a magic pill or potion - it takes commitment and hard work. But if you are as desperate as I was to get well, you will do it!

You have to have a positive attitude no matter how hard that may be. Sometimes, you have to believe you will get better and look to the future, believing you will do the things you used to be able to do. 

I still get slight symptoms but deal with them quickly and easily, thanks to the great advice and support from Lyn.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Reverse Therapy has felt so right for me since the first session. It is the missing link after trying lots of other ways to recover from CFS.

Not only has it enabled me to be who I am but also to be proud of it? Engaging in Reverse Therapy has not only been the most amazing personal journey (which still continues) but has already spilled over into my professional life with amazing results....

ET 2007

I've had M.E. for 10 years now, ranging from being house-bound to just about coping with day to day tasks. A year ago I managed to start a part-time job and coped fine with it, but had little energy to do much else. I expected this to improve as the year went on but there was no noticeable improvement and, with new unexpected pressures coming into my life, making me worse, I'd had enough.

Someone mentioned they'd heard about Reverse Therapy on the radio so I looked into it and found myself smiling the more I read about it. Finally, someone has explained the root cause of the symptoms instead of trying to mask them or push them away. And the explanations seemed spot on, as if they were written about me. I've always had very strong beliefs in right and wrong and put pressure on myself to always do good in EVERYTHING I do. I just never realised that it was these strict rules that kept me in a state of dis-ease.

After the first session I noticed a change in the way I dealt with these pressures, reminding myself that perfection isn't always necessary. Just from doing this, I noticed the symptoms fading.

Watching the symptoms disappear when I followed the procedure of 'listening to my body' and acting on the symptom-messages was amazing. Something so simple that could do so much.

Before I would have just crawled into bed and stayed there. Now I could dramatically reduce symptoms in minutes.

I have now been signed off well after my fifth session, being pretty much symptom-free for weeks now. Not being bound by the rules in my head and not fighting against my body any more means I'm finally free to live my life the way I want to. My energy levels are rising steadily and I'm sleeping less. I'm just taking small steps towards my goals, by doing things I really want instead of ignoring my needs, as I have done for so long.

If you have read about Reverse Therapy and it speaks to you the way it did to me, then go ahead. If you are prepared to take the chance and do the work, then it will work for you. Good luck.

For anyone just having a look at the Reverse Therapy web site, I would just like to recomend that you just take a few seconds to read what I have to say and then maybe you will see what a wonderful journey you will undertake when you decide to take this course of action.

Obviously you have been suffering from CFS/Fibromyalgia for quite some time, you are at your wits end, depressed, alone, withdrawn and above all at the end of your tether.

I, too, was like you and read the glowing reports on the web site, initially sceptical, concerned about the financial implications, but hopeful that the Therapy would put an end to the dreadful symptons and quality of life I was enduring. I decided that it was worth giving it a try, and that money is imaterial when it comes to your health and quality of life, and I arranged my first session with Frances in January 2007 (new year, new start and all that).

I was taken on a journey that surpassd all my expectations, and on the 22nd March 2007, I was 'signed off'. I have my level of energy back, my aches and pains are all but gone, my sleep pattern is regular and I am back to the 'old me'. So all I can say to you is pick up that phone and make the call that will give you yourself back - don't you think you deserve it, after all, it's you that has been suffering, and don't you think your family want to have the real 'you' back.

AP 2007

Reverse Therapy has not only enabled me to return to full health, it has also given me an insight into my own life that I had never experienced before.

I began by reading Dr John Eaton's book and my symptoms lessened after simply reading it! Following my first few sessions there was a dramatic improvement in the level and frequency of symptoms and I am now back to full health and am able to work full time again.

Some symptom-messages really struck a chord with me and it was at these, sometimes highly emotional, times that I made the greatest progress. It felt such a relief to become in tune with myself and start listening to symptoms as a helpful message.

I cannot put a price on what Reverse Therapy has given me. It is an invaluable tool in life and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I was feeling extremely wretched when  attended my first session. The results of this session were outstanding. I felt something happen to me accompanied by a surge of energy. This was extremely empowering and still is as I continue on my recovery.

Before Reverse Therapy I felt like I was slowly dying and the future looked blank. Now I have my life back again; I have been to yoga and done a bit of voluntary work which made me feel great. I can't believe that before Reverse Therapy this would have been impossible. The most I could manage was trying to walk up a hill through treacle whilst wearing lead boots.

What also helped me was knowing that my therapist had also suffered from M.E. in the past - I had never seen such a positive, healthy-looking individual! He also understood what it felt like to have M.E. and most people didn't. This put me at my ease from the start.

I now tell people I am not suffering from M.E. but recovering from M.E. Thanks to Reverse Therapy.

GB 2007

SW 2006

Let me begin by saying, to anybody suffering with M.E (or CFS) I would recommend this treatment. I struggled with my normal day to day life, and after diagnosis, I was bedridden for 3 months. John Eaton helped me recover from my illness, and i can't explain how amazing it feels to be symptom free!
 
My illness began when i was 14 years old. I contracted an illness which stemed from the BCG vaccination shortly before my 14th birthday. I was put on a very large dose of steroids and other strong antibiotics to cure me of this. During this time period, I became very stressed, and missed large amounts of school, causing me to fall greatly behind during the beginning of my GCSE course. After finishing my treatment for the first illness, I began noticing new symptoms, which became progressively worse as I started back at school. Firstly the M.E reduced the amount of time I could spend at school to half days, then after 3 weeks, I had to again stop school all together. I found this exceptionally hard, as I enjoyed school, and knew the amounts of work I would have to catch up with. My parents took me back to the hospital, and after a period of excessive tests, I was diagnosed with M.E. This was November 2005.

With every day that passed, my attitude towards my recovery deteriorated. I was then put in contact with John Eaton, and travelled up to Newbury for my first appointment in early December 2005. My first meeting proved very helpful to me, and even after the first hour, I recognised a difference in my heath immediately. The method used was amazing. After each of my appointments, my health continued to improve, and after 3 visits I felt almost 95% better. After the April holidays, I managed to go back to school, half days at first, and near the end of the term, I was back full time and enjoying life again. The catch up work again mounted up, but by using the methods John taught me, I completed the bulk of it.  
 
Now, near my 16th birthday, I have just received my last mock GCSE results and this has spurred me into action! I just want to start off by thanking you ( John) greatly, for everything you have done to help me recover from my illness. I can't begin to describe the difference in my health that occurred after receiving the treatment. It was amazing. Last June, I had my end of year exams, which stressed me slightly, and I had a slight relapse prior to the examination week, however, using the message you gave me during my treatment, I managed to reduce my symptoms again and continue with all the tests. My results were good, and I feel that this wouldn't have happened without your help!
 
Last week, I had the set of examinations which had been causing many worries in my mind. About a week before my mock GCSE exams, I started to notice my old symptoms re-appearing. Using the methods that you taught me last April, I managed to keep them under control, and had no time off school, which is an even bigger improvement to the end of year exams last year! My results came back as 2 A*s, 5 As and 1 B!! I don't think I would have been able to achieve these grades without your help. These were the real test for me this year, as the school applied ridiculous amounts of pressure on the top sets! I am so grateful for the lessons you taught me last year, and these helped me to stay calm, and get the grades I was working for. Throughout my time now at school, I have the added stress of catch up coursework from last year, however, by taking it step by step, like you told me, I am managing to catch up at a rapid rate, and am only a few pieces behind.
 
Ever since I came to see you, my energy levels have risen greatly, and I 'jumped' right back into sport - my passion!! Now, in year 11, I have been s

HA 2006

I have been asked to write about my recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Yes - after 18 years of illness I am well thanks to Reverse Therapy. At one point I was wheel-chair bound but am now fully mobile and, indeed, travelling all over the place to see my friends and family in different parts of the country. I have started a new business and am enjoying that very much.

Dr Eaton asked me to write this testimonial because, unlike many other writers on this page, I did not find Reverse Therapy easy or straightforward. In fact I came close to giving up on several occasions. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

I found the concept of 'connecting to my Bodymind' impossible to understand in the early sessions. The notion that my Body was 'talking' to me through my symptoms was also hard to grasp. Frequently, I found that I was getting symptoms even when I was enjoying myself but was told that, no matter how well I was enjoying myself my Body still wanted me to do something different.

I also found that it is by no means straightforward to act on the symptom-message. Often, this told me to speak up about how I was feeling inside. The trouble was that I often did not know how I was feeling about anything! I learnt that I have spent a life-time 'living in my head' and had become dead to my emotions. Learning how to recognise them was a major learning curve for me.

Luckily, I had a very patient Reverse Therapist working with me and she taught me well.

I would say to anybody with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that you have got to try Reverse Therapy. It is the only thing out there that works. Believe me, I had tried everything else. But don't expect it to be 'a magic wand' cure It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of persistence and a lot of help. And then you will get well.

KS 2005

My son fell ill with ME at the age of 11 in October 2004. The first noticeable symptoms were a series of infections and these were succeeded by general lethargy and listlessness. He did not go to school at all during the latter half-term before Christmas at which he was diagnosed by the paediatrician as having post-viral fatigue. We do not know exactly what triggered the onset of 'hypothalamitis' in my son but there have been a number of problems in his life: principally the death of his father 3 years ago; fears created by a burglary and subsequent attempted burglary; a stressed teacher taking him for KS2 SATs exams; the trauma of changing to secondary school; and the deaths of other close family members. All these things would have made him more vulnerable.

Dr Eaton encouraged my son to consider the symptoms that he was experiencing and to look at the situations that were going on when they increased - and then look at what my son needed to do and say in those situations in order to remove the heat. He also encouraged him to use me as a resource - speaking to me so that, together, we could deal with school and other issues.

As time went on, his physical energy levels improved dramatically and, before Easter, he began playing football and badminton again and enrolled in the Scouts. School was far more difficult because he felt behind in all his subjects and that was very stressful, draining his mental energy. Going in for the first hour or two each day wasn't an ideal solution because he was doing something of everything but all of nothing. Eventually we resolved the issue by his attending all the lessons in core subjects and coming home in between, gradually increasing the number of subjects week on week until he was attending full-time and he is now completely well.

My son may be vulnerable to this kind of condition again but we feel that we now have a much better understanding of what causes it and will recognise the symptoms so that they can be dealt with at an earlier stage in the future. At the beginning I had a horror that he would be ill for years but, thanks to Reverse Therapy, my son has learnt to be more open and to talk about his worries so he now has his life back.

KS - 2005

IC 2006

In October 2005 I awoke and found that I could do virtually nothing. I lay in the bed in a cottage in Church Stretton, Shropshire. I had come here with my wife to try and recover, but instead I had got worse. When I got out of bed, I could only collapse on the floor: I shuffled to the bathroom and climbed onto the toilet. Later I shuffled down the stairs, clambered onto a chair and slumped on the table. My wife got me some soft fruit segments which I could just about get into my mouth, but could not chew. I could bear no noise, I could not bear to read or even look at anything, I could talk only in a slow whisper, and could only understand if spoken to slowly.

We had returned from our family holiday on the last day of August. I had felt worn out and in need of a rest, but had struggled to relax as I had felt obliged to spend precious time with the children. I had had a mild throat infection/cold over a few days while away, but nothing special. On return, I had been straight back into work, and the following week I was travelling in Turkey and Eastern Europe. But I knew I could not keep going: I wanted to just go to bed, landing in Vienna for 30 minutes before flying to Czech I received a phone call to tell me that another person was dropping out from helping at the youth club on Friday night, so I issued the instruction to cancel the evening: meanwhile, I found my name being called for the plane… While picking up the hire car in Prague to drive an hour and a half to the hotel late at night, I received a further phone call – someone was struggling with getting the projector at church to work properly, so I went through the start up procedures again …. This was my normal life, but now I felt, “Can no-one else do these things?”

The following Monday I went to my office, but felt terrible. For once I came home on time and went to bed early. I set out the Tuesday morning, but simply could not face going to the office, so went to the doctor’s instead. I worked from home for the next 10 days – working hard for an hour or two, then going to sleep. On the following Friday, the doctor signed me off for 2 weeks with “Post Viral Debility”. I led a service at church on the Sunday, and then rested as the doctor instructed: but I was quickly worse than when I started. By the Tuesday, I could not bear to read, and could only hobble to the toilet: this was my first “frightening” day when I wondered what on earth was going on: I had no obvious injury or illness, yet was disabled. Some days I was able to read: I would then read some of the Bible which seemed to help, or I was also reading “Grace Awakening”. Other times, I could not read – only lie and think or pray.

Over the next weeks, I made some slow but steady progress, but it was after my relapse in Church Stretton that I felt this could not carry on and I needed to do something. I had rested, and I only seemed worse for the rest. I returned to the doctor despite having only seen him a week before. He told me I was silly to have gone away for the weekend – albeit only a 20 mile drive and only with my wife for a rest. However, before I left, he suggested I might like to look up Reverse Therapy on the Internet and see what I thought as one of his friends had had ME and had used Reverse Therapy successfully.

I was desperate to find a solution. I spent the afternoon reading on the internet, and bought John Eaton’s Reverse Therapy book. I also downloaded lots of other information from the internet.

It made sense. I had that feeling that this was it. It fitted what I had experienced. Reading the book, I knew that actually I had warning signs of this for a long time – I had had irritable bowel,<

FM 2006

After 3 sessions of Reverse Therapy I had the first proper night’s sleep that I’d had in 6 years. I couldn’t really believe it. I waited to see what would happen and sure enough I slept again on the following nights. I quickly noticed that all the pains in my joints had gone, so had that endless weariness and the fog that permanently clogged up my brain had dispersed.

It was 5 years since my diagnosis of fibromyalgia and in that time I had slowly learnt to manage the condition clawing my way back through part time and eventually to full time work but never feeling well and always having to find ways to fit in day time rests and excuses not to go out with friends. I’d resigned myself to accepting that this is how life would be. I thought that I’d explored every alternative treatment known to humankind and then by chance I stumbled across Reverse Therapy so there must have been some small part of me that hadn’t given up hope!! Most of the time I feel better than well; I feel full of optimism for the future and empowered to deal with whatever comes my way.

EM 2005

I have had M.E. for six years and when I first saw Dr Eaton I was unable to walk and had to be ferried everywhere by my daughter in a wheelchair. I was constantly ill and in pain and had no life at all to speak of.

From the second session on I quickly started to recover. Reverse therapy taught me to be much more careful in considering my own emotions and speak up for my needs. As soon as I started to do this my Bodymind began turning off the symptoms - which I now know were there to warn me that I was in danger of being overawed by other people.

For the first time in five years I was able to celebrate Xmas and New Year without needing to stay in bed. My family are so pleased and happy for me. As my daughter says, I am now back to my old 'bubbly self' once more.

I am now getting my life back and it is a real joy to be able to spend time looking after my grandchildren again. As well as that, I recently attended my youngest daughter's wedding and danced at the reception until 2 in the morning!

I cannot recommend Reverse Therapy and Dr Eaton highly enough - and I am writing this to encourage all M.E. sufferers to book an appointment straight away - you only have your illness to lose!

Dear Dr Eaton

A month ago I received your wonderful book 'The Reverse Therapy Approach'.

I was diagnosed with severe Fibromyalgia eight years ago. A month ago, writing this letter would have been impossible due to pain, weakness and an inability to hold a pen!

Bodymind, though feelings and intuition, guided me through your book, gently guiding and correcting, and I found the way that helped me most was talking to Bodymind. When I did this I found answers revealed in a unique way, accompanied by great joy, energy, peace and serenity.

I kept a record of my journey, a journey of discovery accompanied by Bodymind and you, Dr Eaton, through your enlightening book.

I am now symptom-free, living comfortably in my body again. I must have had every symptom associated with Fibromyalgia, now gone.

I also realize that Bodymind was 'talking' to me for years, but I did not understand its own unique language, and yet it is familiar to us all. I just had to re-learn it.

Thank you once more for taking the time to write your enlightening book. It is possible, as I have found, to become symptom-free from reading the book alone.

SJ 2005

RM 2006

I wanted to write to say thank you.

Reverse Therapy has turned my life around in a way that I had hardly dared to believe was possible. “I had suffered from CFS for nine years by the time I had heard about Reverse Therapy.

After hearing about Reverse Therapy on 'Woman’s Hour', I visited the Reverse Therapy website. It was the first time during nine years of ill-health that I had read something that made sense to me about my condition.  I made an appointment to see Dr Eaton.

Reverse Therapy taught me about the relationship between the symptoms of CFS and changed my relationship to them. As I changed my response to symptoms and they went away, I found it hard to adjust to the ‘simplicity’ of it all. All those years of not knowing… I cried. A lot. It took time to realise that the days and weeks when I didn’t manifest any symptoms at all were real too – that it wasn’t coming back, that my life had changed forever. One day, I started to cry and cried for hours. It was relief. This was real.

As the feeling of well-being took hold, I was overwhelmed by the possibilities that life now threw at me. It was as though I had been sat in a small dark room with a small window above eye height throwing in some light for years – and then the door was thrown open and the whole world was out there.

This is of course exciting but also challenging when I had been used to my life being a certain way. There is a period of adjustment to go through. It is so worth it. I’ve not seen Dr Eaton for nearly three months now. I’ve had one ‘wobble’ during that time but I had the tools to know how to deal with it and I handled it. I now have the energy to live my life in the way that I want to. Every day is a new possibility. I would recommend Reverse Therapy to anyone who is suffering from CFS and ME – this has changed my life.”

DA 2005

When I first met my Reverse therapist I was a 22 year old in the body of an 80 year old. I went from being a bubbly and very independent young woman to not being able to get myself off the toilet or out of a chair, bed, bath - or even brush my own hair. I was completely dependent on my fiance and my parents who were all heart broken and hopeless.

When I heard about Reverse Therapy everything "clicked" - I downloaded a lot of material from the internet and I could have been reading about myself. Following disputes with my future in-laws my body had been constantly trying to get me to face my problems, and react to my "messages" - I was in constant agony. My poor fiance spent endless nights trying to comfort me the pain was so severe. I had given up hope of ever being "healthy" again - after just one session I felt relieved. When I read my message I finally understood - my fiance and my family noticed a huge improvement and after each session said I looked uplifted.

I won't say it was easy. For Reverse Therapy to work you have to constantly apply yourself. I had a few slip ups - but finally after 7 sessions I'm like a new person. I am almost completely symptom-free! Reverse Therapy has given me my life back - now instead of a bleak future I have a lovely new house and my fiance and I have brought our wedding forward to November - I couldn't be happier. I can't believe how good my life is now - there was a time when I thought I would never be able to walk again - and now I'll be walking down the aisle and be able to dance with my new husband! Thank you for giving me my life back!"

AB 2005

I have had M.E. for 3 ½ years, and was quite ill the first year, even if I didn't have to be in bed all day. After a while I was feeling better, but the illness still made my life difficult to live. Olaf, my husband, was the one who read about Reverse Therapy on the Internet. He persuaded me to go from Norway to London to see Dr John Eaton and try this treatment. I had my first appointment in May 2005. We stayed in London for two days after the appointment. Earlier, I was only able to take short walks and had trouble visiting shopping centres. During these two days in London I was walking around in the streets and in the department stores for hours. Olaf didn't believe it was true. But when it comes to what happened during the two hours I was with John, I didn't remember anything. My head was empty and I just felt I was "in heaven".

The first few weeks back home I had an energy that I hadn't had for years.  Six weeks later I was back in London with John, and he told me that I had learned what I needed to do and that I didn't have to come back. I didn't need more than 3 ½ hours with him. Of course, some of the symptoms came back, but I handled most of them and was feeling quite well. I worked hard and did what John had told me to do. I had good contact with him writing emails and that was helping me a lot, but I did one mistake. My body wanted me to do one thing that I was afraid of doing. I postponed it again and again. At last I got the courage and did what my body wanted me to do. Since then I've had no symptoms. When I write this I'm not yet declared well, but inside of me I know that I have got rid of my M.E.

I travelled from the South-West of France to see Dr John Eaton and knew immediately that Reverse Therapy was the missing link in my battle with ME.

In just one hour John had removed the fear from my life and began to teach me how to listen to my body. I now knew I could concentrate on getting well instead of worrying about being ill.

It's been an amazing experience that has completely transformed my life, not just physically but emotionally as well.

Reverse Therapy works. You should try it; you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

I am writing to let you know that I haven’t had any symptoms since I saw you. Not only have the tiredness etc not recurred, but my sleep is improving (not fast enough!) and listening to the symptoms helped, and also my allergic reactions to foods have all but disappeared. Long may the force be with you.

I successfully completed Reverse Therapy after 15 years of suffering with ME. Congratulations to me!! Thinking about the advice I would give anyone thinking of trying Reverse Therapy here are my top tips. 1. Read John Eaton's book. I found it on Amazon whilst desperately looking for something that could help me feel well again. I was at my wits end and knew there must be something I hadn't tried. Only a few pages in I started to cry. I was reading about myself. I finished it, made my first appointment and read it again.

2. Be prepared to get well. I approached RT with everything I had. I put all my energy into it. It was a stark choice, do it, or continue to feel like my body was encased in concrete and my brain was full of fog, for the rest of my life. It wasn't always easy, particularly in the first few weeks. There were times when it seemed too hard, but even the slightest achievements spurred me to carry on. After that it did get easier.

3. Keep a journal. I decided I needed to keep a record of my journey through RT. That way I could chart all my teeny-tiny successes and any problems I found. Not having the best memory, it seemed a good way to record anything I needed to talk through at my next RT session too.

4. I also found it easier to keep RT to myself. Those close to me knew I was having RT but I didn¹t give them any details. I was doing this for me and I didn't need any distractions. They knew I might be more emotional and I was also able to gauge my progress through their reaction to me. Suddenly I was doing things or saying things that were out of character - except this is who I really am. I was becoming more confident and open and able to express myself. Even people who don't know me that well commented that I seemed different.

5. This one was probably the hardest. I realised I had no idea what it was like to feel 'Normal'. I had been ill with ME my entire adult life. All I knew was extreme fatigue even on waking in the morning. It took me a long time to gauge my 'Normal'. Realising that it was ok to feel tired sometimes, and that everyone gets tired was a huge shock at first, but I soon found a level that I knew was right, and my 'Normal'

6. Don’t give up. There will be good days and bad days. After my third session I got ill. Normally this would have sent me into melt-down, but I was ok. Then I had some awful news involving people close to me. I was sad and upset and felt very low, but there was no crash after the event. Before I would have taken to my bed hardly able to move. But again, I was ok. I knew I was getting better.

7. Congratulate yourself. You may never have believed it was possible but you can feel well again. I re-read my journal and surprised myself how far I had come. Over a period of only four months all my symptoms had disappeared. I'd forgotten I used to suffer with some of them. After 15 long, hard, difficult years, I look well and I feel like a whole person again.

I have had Post Viral Fatigue for 12 years with restricted mobility, have never been bed-bound but sometimes, at the beginning, house-bound. I have tried numerous complementary therapies, all of which helped with the symptoms but did not, and did not claim to, cure the illness.

In December last year I was asked by another member of the group if I had heard of Reverse
Therapy. After some investigations and being in email contact with someone who found all her symptoms had disappeared using the technique, I decided to give it a try.

After the first session I was able to banish my brain fog for at least an hour and was so thrilled that I danced round the kitchen, a physical impossibility a week before.

Over the next few weeks I have seen all my symptoms disappear, with slight re-occurrences which I am again able to get rid of with my message and my reaction to it.

I used to pace my activities and have at least three rests a day, I rarely need one rest now. Only three times in the last six months have I had that dreadful exhaustion which used to be a regular occurrence after any excursion and never during this time have I felt that I was going to have a relapse.

Reverse Therapy is an incredible idea, but it has worked for me and for many others. I like to say that it has given me permission to do things again, to live a normal life. It really is worth looking into.

When I first saw Dr Eaton I had had M.E. for 6 years. I could not work at my job and found it very difficult just to get out of bed. In fact I could not do the simplest things like walk down to the shops to buy a newspaper. Everyday life was a nightmare of constant exhaustion, inability to think or concentrate, constant headaches and muscle pain.

I knew that the symptoms could go because there had been two times in my life – both happened while I was away on holiday – when the symptoms left me, only to come back again when I returned to England. That was why I was interested in Reverse therapy because it seemed to have found the secret of making the symptoms go for good.

I was not disappointed. In my case it took three or four sessions before the symptoms started to lift. But Dr Eaton explained to me that my symptoms were with me because my body was trying to warn me and protect me and that it hadn’t needed to do that while I was on holiday. What was important was for me to understand what it was about my life here in England that needed to be changed in order for me to get back to health. This I was able to do with Dr Eaton’s help.

I am now back at work full time and have no symptoms at all. For me, it is like being on holiday all the time.

I was in the depths of despair over my condition before I came for RT. From not being able to do the slightest task I am now back to having a normal life. Thank you to RT for giving me my health back.

Incredibly, I’m now back at work, enjoying a social life and making positive plans for the future. I consider myself to be fully recovered.
