Summary
The Gupta Program, also referred to as Amygdala and Insula Retraining, using NLP-based techniques to rewire the brain's threat response, done 100 percent for 6 months. She had ME/CFS since 2008 and fibromyalgia since 2010, and by 2018 was completely bedbound with full-time care and had used a wheelchair for years, rating herself at 5 percent on an ability scale. She reports making a full recovery: she can exercise without post-exertional malaise again and has no pain and no symptoms. No relapse is mentioned in the account, though it gives no follow-up beyond the point of reporting full recovery.
