I felt frustrated that she would not commit any actual details either to her site or to a private email and I haven't pursued this further. I react to the telephone.<br /><br />If you are okay with the telephone, perhaps she could give you more details that way.<br /><br />You also might try contacting Lisa Cherry - a woman with MCS who blogged that she went to one of Annie's workshops. She also has a comment above on this post. Here is a post on her blog where she mentions it:<br /><br />http://mcsrecovery.blogspot.com/2009/02/post-annie.html<br /><br />I will say that my personal feeling is one of distrust when practitioners do not publicly disclose what exactly their treatment is.<br /><br />However some of the testimonials are very positive so please don't let my feelings on this sway you one way or another ☺<br />I think Annie will have a much more positive response from the MCS community if she gives details explaining what her process actually IS.<br /><br /><br />The Phil Parker Lightning Process and Ashok Gupta's Amygdala Retraining Program may also both be similar to what Annie does. It appears that Annie had success with the Lightning Process. You can read her inspiring testimonial here:<br />http://www.positivechangecanada.com/lightningprocess/success/annie.htm<br /><br />(Thanks so much to a UK reader for sending me that inspiring link! :)<br /><br />There is a man with CFS who has blogged a bit about the Lightning Process here: http://wikrok.blogspot.com<br /><br />and then you can get a feel for some of the types of wording shifts used which may be an NLP technique. I've been trying to practice this myself in various ways.<br /><br />A really important thing to note here is that I believe, especially based on the research done by Dr. Martin Pall PhD., that there are a number of factors involved in the biology/biochemistry of MCS. I don't believe the amygdala is the only part so find it hard to believe any of those three neuro retraining programs could be a complete solution but rather may be a valuable *part* of a recovery program.<br /><br />You can check out Dr. Pall's theory here: http://thetenthparadigm.org/<br /><br />best of luck to you on your healing journey!<br /><br />take care,<br />LibertyLibertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615096271313967218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613785794725017466.post-25609982871505801412009-08-24T20:58:36.904-04:002009-08-24T20:58:36.904-04:00Hello.

I read somewhere that she uses manual/physical exercises to rewire the brain, yet I do not see this on her website. Her website implies that it is more about one's thinking (not that there is anything wrong with this, but I can probably figure this one out on my own!). I noticed that she is doing a workshop in my area, and I would like to know about this before signing on. Thank you, and thank you for your blog.

I'm healing through Annie's methods, through Brainstate technology, yoga, reiki, EFT and a great meditation I just started: METTA MEDITATION which is incredible and gave me the idea that we really can heal our brain and anything lowering stress hormone contributes as long as we do it consistently. Avoidance of chemicals is key though to not sabotage any good we do.<BR/><BR/>My blogs are www.mcsrecovery.blogspot.com and www.graceofreiki.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>You may wish to add Dr. Sherry Rogers's books to your list. She had MCS and healed herself and became a holistic MD and wrote great books about MCS. She's brilliant.<BR/><BR/>Check out Brainstate Technology too; it's helping my brain work better (even if it hasn't yet helped my MCS) but I feel much less amnesiac, have my long term memory back and feel much more present.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>Lisa<BR/>www.lisacherry.ca<BR/>www.yogastories.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009463131271301021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613785794725017466.post-1237385327648945712009-02-09T11:15:00.000-05:002009-02-09T11:15:00.000-05:00Hi Annie,Thanks for the invitation to get in touch...Hi Annie,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the invitation to get in touch privately. I will do so :-)<BR/><BR/>I'd really love for readers here to be able to know the answers to the questions I asked above. <BR/>I think we'd all love to read how much you have improved from MCS and what methods you used to do so (although I realise you can't give the exact methods - protecting your business :)<BR/><BR/>The more stories of healing that we read, the more inspired we may be on our own healing journeys. If you have any suggestions for people with MCS who are trying to heal that do not cost, that would be especially helpful.<BR/>Money is a very big challenge for most with MCS and it can be so disheartening to hear 'such and such can help' and have it be something they simply cannot afford.<BR/><BR/>thanks and take care,<BR/>LibertyLibertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615096271313967218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613785794725017466.post-60830784562466380602009-02-09T03:07:00.000-05:002009-02-09T03:07:00.000-05:00Hi Liberty,Please contact me directly on my person...Hi Liberty,<BR/><BR/>Please contact me directly on my personal email at annie@anniehopper.com and leave me your phone number and I'll call when I get a chance. I have other people from Ontario who are interested in taking the training and I know that finding appropriate accomodations is important for this. <BR/><BR/>I recognize that funds and safe travel are barriers and I'm doing what I can to assist people. Perhaps at some point I can teach this training over the internet somehow...maybe...in time.
