I went searching for PTSD today to see what comes up. Low and behold I see paid advertising for PTSD cures. So I went and investigated. These hyper marketing websites have how they cured some persons phobia on a television show using the emotional freedom technique or some other similar method. So what they then did is furthered themselves without medical proof to claim they could now cure PTSD. So I wrote to one of these twits for clarification on curing PTSD.

Their website stated their package could do it, and I wanted to know how they could make such a claim and sell under such pretence when scientifically and medically no such cure exists just yet. So I asked for their written guarantee before buying such a package to evaluate so that I could use that against them in a court of law when I sue them for false advertising and false representation of facts against medical science. Not even the hippy society of alternative medicine claims such a thing, because they know its also not curable.

Funny... I got no such guarantee nor reply when asking for one. I am now watching to see how fast this particular one website changes their wording in relation to many others I viewed saying the same type of thing, except what they stated was they can cure "symptoms" of PTSD, not PTSD itself. It is in the words, and a big difference between claiming they can cure sleep issues vs. PTSD. But they use the two as a marketing ploy to sucker those in who fail to read the wording correctly.

Scams.... scams.... scams.... if you pay money for such a hard sale then you likely deserve to lose such monies IMHO. Be warned.... the Internet is full of scams, do so at your own risk.

Let me tell you....If there WAS a cure. I would be the first in line banging at their door, and offering myself to be used for ANY experiment that wanted to try.

Scams like that are quite scarey- I feel like I would try almost anything to cure this horrible thing. But I take heed and would be very wary of an internet 'cure'

I was in a PTSD clinical trial...to test Cymbalta...because it was only used for diabetics with neuropathy pain. I did so well that I have stayed on it, and only recently had to increase the dose.

Yes, read all the details before you buy anything on the internet. Think of the net as a sticky insect catcher, you are the insect, so be very careful around it. They call it the net for many reasons.
