Unsubstantiated pseudo-science bullshit
1 star
No references or citations. No studies done, just anecdotes. We are told to believe it has worked for people in such and such ways.
There's a lot of "obviously", "figuratively speaking", "imagine", "it's a clinical fact", "we have found", and at one point, -in one sentence- "it is more than likely...may....probably".
The closest he gets to science is that he knows parts of the body. He uses that to sound like he knows what he's talking about. He calls attention to places that science doesn't know to make himself sound more credible.
"Year after year Modern Medical Science confirms to prove Dr. Walk right", yet he is completely unable to give ONE instance. That should make you very wary.
