Alan Dale you surmise that I am in it for the money? I do not practice for money. I only treat friends and relatives and for free. If I was to work out of a therpay room I would have to charge to cover the rent. Unfortunately due to the world in which we live, consumerism is everything and touches everyone, whether we like it or not. Those practitioners, who do charge, do so because a service is offered and although you are not walking away with a nice little bag that has something in it, you receive a 'product' never the less. It's not alright for a charge to be placed on certain therapies, but it's okay for the big boys to charge thousands of pounds to give you some 'laser treatment' and a phial of 'pills' that they say will reverse your baldness?
