    "Our members who undertook the Lightning Process on a private basis also said it was the best money they had ever spent and soon reclaimed their expenses in income generated by a return to work. (This positively affects the state in reduced benefits claims.)" page 1085

    "Our members had no criticism of the cost, even though some had to borrow money to do the course. They all said it was completely worth it to get their lives back. One noted that she earnt the money back within months by returning to work, which she was previously unable to do. By regaining full health, there is a net financial gain for participants and the state (who no longer need to pay benefits)." page 1091

    Voices of Recovery comments read like propaganda.

    Presumably ‘all of our members’ refers not to everyone who did an LP course, rather those that wanted to be actively involved with the group behind the Voices of Recovery website.

    So a significant amount of preselection behind this statement.

    What it doesn't tell us is that they all went back to work . . . as LP coaches.

    The research proposol for the LP study in Norway that got cancelled also included some large figures of money the muncipality would be able to "save".

    Establishing a patient association, for the healthy, under the leadership of an MD is an excellent idea! The regulations for marketing of traditional and complementary medicine can then be bypassed and at the same time it’s a way to get access to, and influence the health authorities.
