I was one of the victims of chronic fatigue syndrome when it first arrived on the scene in the 1980's. I fell victim (coincidentally) to the exact moment of the Chernobyl meltdown disaster in 1986. Chronic fatigue supposedly originated in a little village in Nevada, Incline Village starting in 1984. It took me on a journey I hadn't planned on including ozone therapy which was shut down by the "powers that be" midstream of my treatments and hydrogen peroxide therapy among other things. I think those therapies did help but I did so many different things I am not totally sure what finally did the trick. Maybe it was a combination of all of them. One of my mainstream doctors thought that outbreak was a government experiment gone awry. My illness was a decade long process and ultimately I was left with the underlying depression and extreme bouts of fatigue which came further apart over time but the horrendous physical pain was gone after a couple of years with the help of some healers.
Aside from the obvious alternative therapies I had stopped at a local bookstore (my favorite haunt) when a book literally flew off the shelf in front of me. It physically flew off the shelf, yes. When I picked it up I discovered it was a biographical book about ten great healers, one of which was Dr. Bill McGarey who ran the ARE Clinic in Phoenix near my home. His practice was based on Edgar Cayce's readings. He immediately had me doing the castor oil packs daily along with Cayce methodologies to strengthen body organs like the thymus, thyroid, etc. Back in the 1980's he appeared in interesting late night documentaries about unusual healing and psychic stuff. He was a great guy.
Since many of the healers in the book were still alive I flew to Chicago to visit another healer who specialized in HUNA which is a Hawaiian belief system that to me was incredible, if not fascinating and was also helpful for my mind and understanding the conscious and subconscious self which is so important to illness and well being. I later studied under a well know Hawaiian Kahuna who practiced Ho' opono pono.
I was in so much pain that I contacted a third "hands on" healer in the book. When I contacted him I was suffering from a 104-105 degree fever for 13 days. He lived in the Los Angeles area and wasn't able to see me right away but told me to sit quietly at home at a specific time (9:30 pm) that night and he would be sending healing vibes. By midnight my fever was gone. I went to visit him 2 weeks later. He practiced his healing techniques out of a non-denominational church so as not to be prosecuted as a quack. He only took donations if he took anything at all. Even pies as I noticed he had a table full of yummy looking pies that people had left as their donations. He had me lie on a not too comfortable table after taking my shoes off. I wasn't too sure what to expect but I closed my eyes as he stood over the table with his hands outstretched over me but he never physically touched me. Immediately I felt as if I was rising, falling up to the ceiling and my body was tingling. It was unlike any other feeling I had experienced to date except for an occasional out of body experience. I had to repeat this process for a half hour/3 consecutive days. By the third day the horrible pain in my lymph glands was gone as were all body aches except for my chest/lung pains. I don't know why they remained. Maybe to keep me on my journey where I learned and experienced so many things including Silva Mind Control, Eckankar, Circles of Life, Ho'opono pono, Huna, Meditation, Psychism, Psychotronics, Radionics, Dowsing, Herbal Remedies and on and on. I also made some wonderful friends along the way.
One of the things I learned along the way was detachment. (through a spiritual awakening) This world can really suck at times but one needs to rise above its bodily existence as if you are watching someone on television. Treat your mind as just another organ of the body and learn to control it as opposed to letting it control you. Not easy to do but think outside the box. The world is full of depressing things but one needs to compartmentalize to keep ones sanity. If you can detach the world around you opens up. You look at things differently and can pull yourself out of emotional and difficult situations. Ok, I guess I am rambling. I have included some interesting links about some of the things I have mentioned here which is only a few out of the many not mentioned:

Ironically, one of the best bios comes from quackwatch which in my opinion is a badge of honor to be there. I felt very lucky to be part of the clinic in its heyday. After Dr. Bill retired the focus was somewhat changed and I am not sure of its orientation today.
