' ... now you expect me to cure you' : Cynthia Hearne's Story

After 22 years of sleeplessness, Orange Grove Siesta changed Cynthia's life

Twenty-two years ago, Cynthia woke to find her husband, at only 50, had passed on at her side. From then on, she never enjoyed another full night's sleep; she says: "Perhaps it was post traumatic stress disorder, but I never slept again."

Years went by and Cynthia sought every remedy for sleeplessness. She took up yoga, but: "I had terrible tension in my shoulders and head and depressing thoughts that yoga could not help."

Cynthia describes a cycle of insomnia where you become afraid to go to bed, in case you don't fall asleep. Next comes the fear of over-tiredness; that you might over-sleep and be late the next day.

Sleep specialists? No help

A couple of years ago, Cynthia looked for help at a sleep disorder clinic.

She filled in an extensive questionnaire where the last question was: "How long have you suffered from this condition?" She wrote: 'Twenty-two years'.

With wry humour, she describes her meeting with the sleep specialist, who read her questionnaire and had one comment: "For twenty-two years you've had this condition and now you expect me to cure you?"

Sleeping pills provided some relief, but over time she became resistant to them and the dosage slowly increased. At more than twice the original dose, she began to wonder how much more she could endure.

Relief at last! ... Siesta in the Orange Grove

On a visit to London in 2004, Cynthia told her niece, Ruth, about her problem. Ruth listened sympathetically, then said perhaps she had something that would help: alphamusic by John Levine. Incredibly, she had one of John's CDs right there, "Orange Grove Siesta", and she put it on to play.

Cynthia says: "It was so soft and relaxing that I said straight away, "Put it on again". I listened again: it was as if I saw angels, or I was flying in a parachute.

"I asked Ruth to leave the CD with me. That night I put it on to play and lay down on my bed. Again I felt as if I had wings, so quiet and serene. For the first time in 22 years, I fell asleep without pills and slept for more than two hours. When I woke, I took only one pill and went back to sleep for another five hours; at my age, that's a lot of sleep. The music relaxes me. I feel well."

Rachael's story

"Orange Grove Siesta"

The hardest times

Janice, is an unemployed single mother of four children, fully devoted to her family, who leads a complicated life. When her younger daughter Rachael was thirteen years old, doctors diagnosed her with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. From that day Janice had to care for Rachael on a fulltime basis.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) or Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS), is a disease that affects the central nervous system and the immune system. It causes tiredness and the inability to perform daily tasks. Every kind of activity makes the symptoms worse and any attempt to rest doesn't improve the patient’s condition. The exact cause of CFS is unknown. It’s been said that improper functioning of the immune system or some form of virus may contribute to emergence of this disorder. Typical symptoms of CFS are persistent fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, sore throat, forgetfulness, lack of concentration and disturbed sleep patterns. Anybody could contract it, however, it affects four times more women than men. It develops most commonly in people in their 40s and 50s. However, children can also develop CFS, although it usually develops in late teenage years.

In the beginning, some of the family found it very difficult to believe that Rachael was suffering from this disorder, they thought that perhaps she was pretending because she didn’t want to go to school. Her situation got progressively worse. It all started nearly four years ago from Glandular Fever; a viral infection causing a sore throat and fever. Rachael was extremely ill for three weeks and her doctors said that this triggered the virus. Her immune system stopped working properly and as a result she was constantly ill. As soon as one infection cleared another one would occur, becoming a vicious circle. She lacked the energy to go to school, so she spent her days at home in bed. Rachael was very tired, pale, couldn’t focus or concentrate, and had to give up attending school due to her health problems. She also became sensitive to loud noises which caused her a great deal of discomfort.

The whole situation was really difficult for the entire Wilson family to cope with. This was a frustrating time for everybody; her mother worried not only for her daughter’s physical health, but was concerned for her emotional well being too. It is not normal for teenage girls to never go out! She spent thousands of pounds and exerted massive efforts into helping her recover. She was very keen to find a natural, holistic remedy. In spite of her illness, Rachael was a very intelligent girl, she was so driven and competent that she studied independently away from her home, when she was well enough. Teachers visited Rachael to assist her learning as well as her mother providing constant academic and emotional support. Before she fell ill, Rachael was very lively and active girl with a particular fondness for horse riding and socializing. She also enjoyed ice skating, cycling, roller-blading and playing the piano.

There is very little medication available to treat CFS and doctors are reluctant to prescribe painkillers, because of the risk that the patients may become addicted to them, due to the longevity of the illness. In hospital Janet was told that Rachael’s immune system needed a boost. Her doctors proposed various treatments, among them, vitamin infusions. Many of the suggested treatments were very expensive, costing upwards of a thousand pounds - unrealistic for the budget of a single mother surviving solely on benefits and alimony from her ex-husband. After her numerous treatments which would keep them in hospital for up to 8 hours at a time, and hospital visits sometimes a long way from their home, Rachael was understandably very tired and drained from the travelling.

Sunshine after the rain…

Rachael’s sister, Sarah, was shopping one day in Cambridge when she met John Levine at his display stand. After a few minutes of talking to John, Sarah reached for the ‘Orange Groove Siesta’ CD and looked at the information written on the back of the sleeve, noticing that others had reported that the CD had helped others to overcome sleeping problems. This was the one of the biggest problem that needed to be addressed in Rachael’s case. Sarah was curious as to whether this might work for Rachael, so she rushed home excited to tell her mother about her discovery. Janice was intrigued and decided to give it a try, hoping it would help relentless fight to heal her daughter. The next day, full of hope, she came into Cambridge to buy the ‘Orange Grove Siesta’ CD. “I wanted something which would help her to get a good night’s sleep. People with Chronic Fatigue experience problems with that. Their sleep patterns change and they go to bed very late at night and wake up several times.” explained Janice. ‘Orange Groove Siesta’ was played in the background when Rachel was ready to go to bed. It was the first time that Rachael had had a good night’s sleep in a long time. She woke up in the morning fully refreshed. “It had never happened before. It was a breakthrough. From that moment she was getting back into her normal sleep pattern. Big progress for my little sister.” said Sarah, her sister.

The music was played for another six months, every time Rachael was ready to go to bed. Her health began to improve. She is nearly a hundred percent better now, although she still easily picks up infections, each episode is not nearly as eventful as had been the case in the past. She is full of energy again, like old times. She goes with her sister to parties, stays for the whole night and the next day is absolutely fine. Her life is returning to normal. “Rachael is being able to sleep and getting up at normal times, happy and healthy” expresses Sarah joyfully. “Everyone has noticed a difference in her behavior. She can go out!”

Her mother is looking for a job and has some time to herself now. She doesn’t worry anymore about leaving Rachael alone because she knows she is capable of taking care of herself. Rachael loves horses and next year she plans to go to college to learn how to work in the equestrian field. “Eighteen months ago I would never have predicted that my daughter would go to college or could do so many things. It’s wonderful that she’s got back her life and has so many options available to her.” said Janice. Rachael has also started painting mountains, using Alphamusic to help her focus on her art. The mountains on her paintings look realistic, are very beautiful and worth seeing. The Wilson family recommends John Levine’s Alphamusic to any one who is experiencing similar problems and have never looked back.
