Talk:The Lightning Process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, i've already added this to my page, but not sure if will show up here as well by default so,... Hi, This is my first attempt at adding something that is missing from the encylopedia, so please excuse any foolish newbie errors. The Lightning Process is a reasonable topic for inclusion in the wikipedia, as it's a subject of much interest to sufferers of m.e, reportedly achieving results that are simply unavailable using standard medical approaches. I feel the piece is unbiased, factually accurate, well referenced begining for a subject that is just not covered anywhere on wikipedia. I would suggest editing rather than removal, and welcome suggestions. Joanna2008 Joanna2008 (talk) 22:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
I think this topic needs a wikipedia good entry

[edit] Wyller
I've removed the following for now:
- Recently there seems to have been a number of independent research articles, especially by V Bruun Wyller [1] which appear to support the Lightning Process' perspective on the mechanism of causation of M.E/CFS, which may go some way to more main stream medical acceptance of this approach.
It might be ok, but having read the paper I'm not sure that using it isn't falling afoul of WP:OR - the paper isn't directly related to The Lightning Process, and thus making that connection is something I would be wary of. However, it is mentioned on The Lightning Process website, so there may well be a case for adding it back. - Bilby (talk) 04:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wyller 2
I noticed this quote from Wyller has been added to the Lightning process site..does it justify inclusion, let me know your thoughts
"Dr. Bruun Wyller, who is considered to be one of Norway's leading experts on M.E, says: 'Recent research on CFS pathophysiology has revealed alterations of cardiovascular regulation and thermoregulation, characterized by enhanced sympathetic nervous activity and increased secretion of epinephrine. These findings indicate a state of permanent distress response – sustained arousal – in CFS patients. Based upon our findings, we have formulated a theory of sustained arousal in CFS, which seems to correspond quite neatly to the theoretical considerations underlying the Lightning Process.'
