First-person testimonial from Fran describing a multi-year history of ME/CFS (including post-glandular fever and a severe 2019 relapse). She discovered the Gupta Program in 2020 after a free trial and credits it with major improvements over three years—reporting about 90–99% recovery at one point, increased energy, clearer thinking, resumed physical tasks (including caring for horses), but occasional dips when she lapsed on practices. She notes symptoms (severe fatigue, mobility limits, brain fog, digestive problems), the role of lockdown/nature in her outlook, daily meditation practice, and that the program offers tools for symptom “blips.”

My name's Fran and I've probably been having periods of me chronic fatigue all my life. I had a bad spell of it after glandular fever in my late teens and then I got a virus when I was working quite hard in a high powered job. And it went on for about eight years, this fatigue. And then 2019, I had a really bad spell where I was not able to walk or just the symptoms were just very, very bad. And that's when I discovered Gupta about 10 months later. My symptoms were largely inability to move very well. I had brain fog. And yeah, I could just about walk to the end of my path. No energy, lot of gastric problems, lot of, you know, digestion problems. Well, it was quite extraordinary really. I did the trial, which I would advocate anybody who's dithering because it was free and it just spoke to me. I just thought loop in the brain. I hadn't even considered a sort of psychological aspect to it all. You know, here was I massively intellectualizing everything which I hadn't realized was actually stepping on the old fire of fanning the fire of the symptoms and loop in the brain. Yeah, it really spoke to me. So I thought, I'm just going to try it. It happened to coincide with lockdown and for many, I know it was a traumatizing time, but for me it was absolutely liberating because it was a beautiful spring. I'd started Gupta and suddenly my mind was beginning to change. I saw beautiful things all around me now. I could relate to the way wildlife and the, and actually, to be honest, nature really woke up when lockdown came. You know, there was so much more bird life and just, just beauty everywhere. And I suddenly thought, gosh, my whole outlook is changing and could it be this program? And then my symptoms started changing and then I got more energy and that's really where I just realized it was doing me a lot of good. And I enrolled for the whole course. I suddenly thought I saw everything clearly. I had a clarity in my mental thinking. So that was the first milestone. And then I just felt I had more energy. And there were various. I live on a small holding and there were various jobs that needed doing and I found, well, I'm generally, well, going to tackle them myself. So I was doing quite heavy work. I got two horses, so I was, you know, humping great sort of bags of this, that and the other around. And so I just had more physical energy too. I have been doing the program then. That was 2020, so it's now 2023. So I've been doing it for three years. I got a little bit blase, I would say after about 18 months of feeling pretty well, 90 better, 99% better, and didn't do some of the. I've always meditated twice a day, but I didn't do the art. And I think that's key to me keeping on a straight and narrow. So I've had dips to cope with. But the wonderful thing about Gupta program is that, I don't know, he's a magician because he's actually got a tool for just about every single sort of blip that you can have.
