    When I searched online about this topic, I found a similar article with the same story published in 1999 by the same author.

    And then another similar article with also the same story, from 1994.

    From the press release:
    Tried looking it up. Completely bizarre.

    Looking at their website, it looks like a bunch of doctors and nurses etc who decided there was more money in being quacks.

    Or we could keep it as a warning not to believe everything you read!

    I looked around and saw all manner of declarative statements about many things.

    No hard science data anywhere. Although there was a long list of references to previous declarative statements all by the same author.

    This is not science. It's a belief system.
