“Brain Balance”

We’ve been getting pretty heavy advertising locally for this Brain Balance treatment regimen, which is alleged to cure or treat a variety of childhood mental problems including ADHD and even autism.
The ads have generally been in the form of testimonials from parents who go on about how their kid was “unmanageable” prior to treatment and is now a happy, studious child.

Little or nothing about what form the actual treatment was. Sounded pretty suspect to me...

NPR’s All Things Considered did an article on the outfit yesterday:

The scientific underpinnings for the techniques used, including the diagnostic techniques, are very suspect. The article mentions that one study touted by the outfit was actually authored by the guy in charge.

There are testimonials from apparently-satisfied parents. The price is steep, as much as 10,000 dollars a month, and this is not covered by any insurance.
