    One of the worst I've seen. He clearly hasn't a clue.

    The author is a psychologist. His only references are another crappy health site and the outdated Cochrane exercise review.
    You can leave a response but it requires your name and email address.

    Why do charlatans always have such gleaming teeth?

    Ah, someone just looked at PACE and did a copy-paste. APT isn't even a thing. Relaxation obviously isn't a treatment. This is nonsense.

    I think it’s worth leaving responses on this one. It’s illiterate nonsense. It even reads like a random sentence generator vomited it out.

    Two health supplements are recommended at the end of the article/ non article. Perhaps it's a puff piece written to promote these.

    Later is written under Sources

    "We review published medical research in respected scientific journals to arrive at our conclusions about a product or health topic. This ensures the highest standard of scientific accuracy"

    Puff piece? It seems to be using Larun/ Cochrane to try to validate the rubbish they have written.
