I read that article and also discovered the author of it is an old retired doctor from Australia that writes similiar controversial articles about various medical issues. I don’t think he is particularly credible.
Personally, I think the evidence of no need for medications and no more itching speaks for itself.
I personally am open to most new therapies where people obtain results. If it works for them, that is great. And I am open to trying something as harmless as this. Many a medication, approved by the FDA, and having gone through numerous trials cause serious adverse side effects. I am one to prefer a more natural remedy that resolves the problem, then a drug that only masks it at best.
By the way, what did you mean by quoting another doctor, who is shocked he is used on the advertising? What doctor do you mean? Do you know him personally? I didn’t see anyone quoting a doctor or doing any advertising?
If you are referring to the referral of the Orlando doctor for PIT, someone specifically asked for a doctor in that area who does PIT. In addition, all of these doctors are listed on the Lyftogt website.

When contacted by the author, Professor Zochodne replied: “I can indicate that I have no interest in it, have not endorsed it or plan to endorse it and am disappointed our work would be quoted for something without evidence.”
Also Dr Geoffrey Bove. also disagrees, says sugar water is pseudo science.

I will have to look for that other Dr tomorrow but anyone who says there is no dependency without doing clinical trials is only doing this for the money. Praying on people with chronic illnesses is the same as selling snake oil. I have suffered since the 1980's & in 2000 begged a Dr for something, she prescribed the hydroxyzine which is a lifesaver, natural methods do not work for me. My arms are full of scars to the point people asking what is the white spots on arms. The article is all advertising, that's how he gets people to his product. I posted it because he says all these things with no clinical trials, so he is assuming or making up results which is sickening to desperate people. I also use Aspercream per primary, it has lidocaine in it. It's for pain which I always thought was the culprit. Also Triamcinolone cream which is free thru my insurance. Ice, and other products do not work, my itching is severe. I take ibuprofen for all my pain, and any other pain I learned to ignore it like the fibro diagnosed in1984. Because of all the diseases being diagnosed, each next one was worse than the previous.4 rare, at least 5 autoimmunes, however on their site says fibro not an autoimmune. Every Dr I saw said they believed me and only took one yr to get diagnose thru rheum.
