"One often overlooked, but I feel important area, is the actual training of the therapists. This is particularly important when the therapist is claiming to be able to treat serious medical conditions… somehow CST therapists claim to be able to effectively diagnose and treat many of the same medical conditions [as MDs]. Within the NHS treatment of these conditions can require the attention of doctors who have undergone specialist training to allow them to deal effectively with what are often complex medical conditions. You simply cannot spend a few days a year, learning unproven therapy techniques and claim to have the knowledge required to offer these treatments."  SkepticBarista blog (29th August 2010)
