It offered alternative, which was natural (no chemicals were involved), cost effective, substituting the conventional/traditional medical prescription with exercise program and sequential processing intervention. The effect of the study on the method was moving from a quick short-term fix, touching the surface of the symptoms and ignoring the long-term abuse, to a healthier approach, allowing better outcomes at the behavioral, cognitive, and physical levels, with no side effects.
