A way I, personally, use my scam meter is simple. Anecdotal evidence aside, if the promoter promotes the device and protocol in violation of FDA guidelines, I become very skeptical. FDA guideline outlaw promoting a device for use to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition until proper studies are completed and FDA medical device approval is final.

Regarding people discussing it on FB or Twitter as being a scam, very few people will speak up. Often, they are embarrassed because they feel foolish. Many just don't have the time or drive to speak up. That is why scams continue to flourish.

If it were me, I would not spend money that was needed elsewhere or that put me in debt. If one can afford to spend the money without it causing a financial hardship. it may be worth the effort. I would suggest exhausting other protocols first.

soccer715 and drich,

What symptoms are you struggling with the most ?
What are you doing to try to alleviate those symptoms ?
I've been curious about this doctor as well. I'm inherently skeptical but I keep coming across personal testimonials that tempt me into hoping it's a true miracle cure.

If I'm still struggling a year out I may think about it. Take some of my insurance settlement and do it. Supposedly it's 5K for a week. A lot of money for an unproven treatment but desperation keeps quacks all over in business right?

But first I'm going to try a week of total rest. This has a decent study behind it and I figure I owe it to myself to try it. I never truly rested after my accident. It can't hurt and its free.
