Summary
Ashok Gupta became ill with ME/CFS as an undergraduate at Cambridge, after a virus picked up in India. At his worst he could not read a textbook and had to crawl to the bathroom. He credits self-directed brain retraining, practised before any such programs existed, for getting himself 100% better. He later set up a clinic and a neuroplasticity program.
