These services should've been banned to begin with, because they're fraudulent to begin with. However in the absence of sane policy-making the courts will have to sort it out, and I'm okay with that too.

I dunno. I mean, this stuff will obviously not make gay people straight, as they are seeking. Nor will holistic medicine make sick people healthy as they are seeking.

But does that mean it should be banned?

I think holistic medicine should be banned definitely

Well, sometimes there's not really anything medically that can be done. Isn't something that's all in your head better than nothing at all?

Kind of hard to say unless you are in the situation yourself.

If you are stupid enough to believe you can be cured of being gay, the only person who should be sued is the parents

I think burying these particulary vile versions of Anton T. Mesmer house of all-healing goodtime quackery in lawsuits is exactly what should be done.

Let them prove in a court of law their methods have efficacy. Plz televise that or at least make it into an episode of the goodwife k thx bai.

I believe the merits of the fraud case rest on the fact the "counselors" were not qualified to "help" in any way whatsoever. They were not qualified medical people at all.

If a guy on the street says he can "help" you with your mother issues and claims to be an expert in the field, and it turns out he got his education from the back of a cereal box, that is fraud.


And that is what this is.

If these guys were qualified experts in counsleing, then the kids would have a malpractice case.
