Another MT story from the same paper. My concern would be that this 'therapy' dominates Part II of the programme which was billed as being the scientific part (?!).
If people come away from watching the programme thinking MT is the 'only' thing worth trying that might help then that would constitute bias and an unfair representation in my view.
I had hoped that MT would be shown as something tried by people who are desperate to try anything, given that so little is available from the NHS or by way of treatment generally.
Still, I shall try and keep an open-mind until I watch the programme on Monday night (or Tuesday on iPlayer).
N.B. I don't begrudge anyone trying anything that is safe and is deemed to 'help'. I've done enough in my desperation over the years. But until such time as this condition is better understood and better diagnosed, as well as these supposed 'treatments' better subjected to scientific scrutiny, then I don't think anyone can claim any 'success' when marketing them.
