Here is an article from 2002 by a quack dentist in Munich, which cites RGM's "Autonomic Self Regulation" often, and introduces a machine to help you do it. Of interest to us is this:
These are photographs of the Aura of the feet of a purported sufferer of CFS/depression, before and after treatment.
Treatment was listening to Mozart for 5 minutes with this:
Heidelberg, RGM's stomping ground, is the centre of psychosomatic medicine in Germany, with the oldest clinic which describes itself as follows:
This is the clinic my doctor tried to send me to when I first presented myself with ME symptoms. He even tried to trick me by telling me that it was a clinic for rare illnesses, but when I phoned the receptionist answered with "psychosomatic clinic Heidelberg" and asked me when I would like an appointment. Thankfully I was clued up and extricated myself immediately, otherwise they would be having their wicked way with me to this day.
So for me it's not so much about Eysenck, horrendous though that is, but more about RGM, who wrote the crap in the first place, and, unlike Eysenck, is still alive and well and peddling his magic in a very receptive environment which happens to be my home town. Which is the reason why I had to go to Berlin for a diagnosis, and daren't go near a doctor and mention ME around here.
I used to think that the great thing about living in Heidelberg was that if you get ill, you're in one of the best places. They've got a world famous, nobel-prizewinning cancer research centre, so I though that was me sorted in later life. Then I get ME and find out I'm in a hotbed of magical thinking and one of the most dangerous places on the planet for an ME sufferer, UK included (nobody does it like the Germans - Simon Wessely wants what the Germans have got - institutionalised and popularly accepted magic). What are the chances?

You can barely look anywhere in this dumpster fire without finding conflicts of interest and extensions to the circle jerk. It's really amazing. Really bad idea to rely on a system of uncritical deference to eminence and old boys' network.
