Product Description

Book Description

From one of many client testimonials reproduced in the book:

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to RT, but slightly lacking science, 31 July 2005
By David Jameson (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
I myself recovered from CFS in 2002, and have been completely symptom-free for about 3 years now (see my website at www.mind-body-health.net). Although I didn't use Reverse Therapy to recover from CFS (which wasn't around when I was ill), I have had discussions with John about his theory of CFS and he kindly sent me a copy of his book.

John's book is very well written, and is easy to read and understand. It discusses John's own personal experiences with illness, through to his development of Reverse Therapy, and the experiences of some of the patients who he has treated.

For anyone thinking of using Reverse Therapy (RT), the book is a very good overview of the theory and practice of the treatment. It also gives many insights into the causes of the illness which will be useful to patients whether or not they decide to use RT.

The only criticism I have about the book is the slight lack of science. While the thrust of his theory seems to be basically on track, it is let down by references to unscientific terms and concepts such as "chemical memories", "bodymind", etc.

Another point, related to RT itself, is that the therapy tends to concentrate only on resolving psychological issues and stresses, without putting any signifance on the benefit of the patient rebuilding their lives through motivating activities and goals, which in my own experience and many others seems to be critical to recovery. Many patients who undertake RT find that they resolve all of their psychological issues, but they still remain ill. See for example reversetherapy.blogspot.com.

Overall, however, the book is a good read and will give some insight into the mind-body connection of CFS without requiring the reader having to be a scientist to understand it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only one snag....it doesn't work, 19 Jun 2008
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
It all sounds fine but once you've spent a fortune on treatment and nothing happens, the implication is it's all your fault.

It's difficult for them to go wrong on that basis. The fact is it did absolutely nothing for me but cost me an awful lot of money.

Reverse therapists used to talk about clinical trials that will prove it works. They have gone very quiet about that lately. I think I know why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read, 5 April 2010
This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)
I have lived with M.E/CFS for approximately 20 years. During that time I have read many books on the subject and tried many different remedies.

This author helped me to look at the emotional aspects of a long-term chronic illness.

The writing style is extremely repetitive which for anyone living with brain fog is very helpful.

For me it wasn't the longed for magic wand but it certainly could be another piece of my recovery jigsaw puzzle.
