I think Alex is a decent guy from the outside point of view - but he is a business man, lets be clear, he went straight from Uni down to London, hired a room in Harley Street (man of the people) and started selling himself basically, because he had no professional or clinical quals to work from. He said he got himself better via diet, meditation and so on (which I celebrate); but unfortunately this can lull people like Alex into thinking they understand ME/CFS. He may well get many many people better who have general fatigue and burnout.
Like all good business men he is looking for business - the NHS is a perfect pool of new clients, 'if they cant help ME/CFS patients, he will' - type thing. This is where I think he will struggle, the Psych people wont give CFS patients over to Alex too easily, and I would advise the NHS not to either. The NHS should be offering better care to ME/CFS patients - then Alex can offer complementary care for those who want it -privately.
I know Alex will read this via himself or one of his staff - usually his ex clients (who now work for him - converts to this methods).
Alex and I share something, we both studied in South Wales and were probably in Uni at the same time and we both walked down Swansea beach a good few times -when I visited there.
Alex has many little ventures - this is his latest ------ lets keep an eye on this space
