Forgive me, please, this's probably an instance of 'inappropriate'
'therapy' that reflects the stuff I've been discussing - prologned TD
E/I(up) that's been augmented, rather than ameliorated, by
'commitment' within a regime that's absent the necessary
understanding with respect to how nervous systems process
information.

Forgive me, please. I wish =not= to offend, I mean just the opposite
stuff. Understanding is useful.
