Derbyshire Telegraph Lightning Article

Here is Sue Waddle's response to the same article Dr Greensmith responded to, below.

PERMISSION TO FORWARD, REPOST & USE IN NEWSLETTERS.
APPROACH IS TOO SIMPLISTIC
22 December 2006

I Am so pleased that Jennifer Tonks is now fit and well from whatever she
had, but it certainly was not Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.)

M.E. is a serious neurological illness which affects all major body systems,
including cardio-vascular.

If the Lightning Therapy is so amazing then it should also be able to "cure"
Parkinson's, M.S., Motor Neurone Disease and a host of other neurological
illnesses.

It cannot, and it is dangerous and misleading to say that patients with M.E.
can be cured in this way.

If the 250,000 sufferers in the UK could be cured so simply, then it would
be immoral and money-wasting for the Department of Health not to offer this
"treatment". If only it were that simple.

This does, however, sound like an interesting approach for depression and
fatigue.

People die with M.E. and this approach is far too simplistic.
