Breakthrough Prayer Midnight 24th December 2010


May you find Peace, Healing 
and Hope this Christmas.
May we all experience
miracles as the coming
year unfolds.


Today we celebrate the Truth of God's Love - that Jesus Christ, the Light of the World has come into the world and dwells among us. This Light is pure radiance and shines its perfect beauty all aorund.


It is the Light of Mercy, the Light of Truth, the Light of Wisdom, the Light of Discernment, the Light of Justice. It brings the gift of Healing, the gift of Hope, the gift of Consolation, the gift of Love to us.

The Light is never more needed than now in the lives of people with ME for there is so much disinformation and untruth spread around the true disease that people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis have.

There is so much medical neglect. There is so much injustice surrounding people with ME : a genuine neurological disease, dismissed as a psychological condition.

 As we approach midnight , the holiest time of the year, signaling the birth of Christ and the Redemption of the world, we hold the needs of all people with serious disease, especially the most severely affected and their carers and loved ones in the pure radiance of Christ's Light.

We lift ourselves and everyone who is suffering into the centre of this bright Light as we pray for Truth and Justice, for Hope and Comfort, for a genuine change in attitude of the medical establishment, for the truth of XMRV to be revealed, for proper biomedical research to be done on patients who genuinely have ME and we pray that the biopsychosocial approach be truly discredited and a biomedical approach be acknowledged and created, using the available knowledge that is currently available, as a starting point.

We pray for strength and courage for all people who are genuinely fighting to raise awareness of the truth of this devastating illness.

We pray for genuine healing and Hope to be poured out upon us. We ask this in trust knowing God's Mercy is real and He hears our prayers.

We give thanks for the Child born in the manger. we give thanks that Love has come among us and that evil can no longer hold sway on the world.

 The Light of the World is here. we ask that our prayers be answered. Praise God indeed. Amen.

 We pray the Breakthrough Prayer and light a candle at midnight to signify that Jesus christ has come into the world.

 At this holy moment we pray for miracles in the lives of people with ME.

We hold in prayer all those who are suffering, all who are isolated, all who are struggling to cope with the cold weather and the problems it brings, all who are grieving and all who are dying. We hold them all the the light of the candle. We hold them all in the Heart of our Prayer. Amen.


Lord
  in all things
        I trust in you

when fear
   overwhelms me
        I turn to you

when doubt
   assails me
        I turn to you

when Peace
   is lost
        I turn to you

when anxieties
   mob me
        I turn to you

when pain
   oppresses  me
        I turn to you

when worries
   betray me
        I turn to you

Lord
   in all things
        I am held by You
            Amen

The good news is “ how unacceptably easy it is to accumulate (and report) statistically significant evidence for a false hypothesis ,  according to Nelson and  Simonsohn (2011).  Their frightening  paper “ False-Positive Psychology, ” shows  how  “ undisclosed flexibility in data collection and analysis allows presenting anything as significant ,” .  In fact Nelson and Simonshon statistically  “prove” that listening to “ When I am 64 ” by the Beatles can   make you a couple of years younger ! http://pss.sagepub.com/content/22/11/1359.full.pdf+html The bad new

THE STONEBIRD DEFINITION OF SEVERE ME

Severe ME is a hellish experience that you live and endure without treatment, cure or respect. Severe ME is not knowing how to cope from minute to minute, moment to moment. Severe ME is being tormented by people doing ordinary things. Severe ME is being inhibited by paralysis. Severe ME is being totally ill, all the time. Severe ME is being unable to read. Severe ME is being unable to hold anything. Severe ME is falling over regularly. Severe ME is your mind not working. Severe ME is being unable to speak on the phone. Severe ME is finding that going to bed or remaining in bed makes you feel even more ill. Severe ME is discovering that there is no possibility of rest, ever. Severe ME is being unable to see anybody because they make you more ill, because you are so hypersensitive. Severe ME is not knowing what to eat that won't hurt you. Severe ME is being neglected by the Health Service. Severe ME is having to regularly have to prove you

Paralysis, a qualitative study of people with Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Image
Greg and Linda Crowhurst (August 8 th 2013). Synopsis Paralysis is a symptom that is rarely highlighted in the literature for ME, yet is found amongst the most severely ill ME population and even some of those not so severely affected. My wife has experienced it for almost 2 decades, without adequate exploration, alongside exposure to denial and dismissal, ignorance and neglect as well as harmful treatment. We wanted to find out if there was anyone else with a similar experience to my wife's or if she was a rare and very severe case. We wanted to highlight the seriousness of this symptom and ask why it is being ignored and down played not only by the medical profession, with its inappropriate focus on fatigue and the psychosocial response, but also by the main charities, none of whom, flag it up as a main symptom. This qualitative research study indicates that there are significant others experiencing apparently similar paralysis and that my wife is not un
