Anyone — practitioner or institute — suggesting NLP replaces treatment for diagnosed conditions is wrong in a way that can cause real harm through delay. The legitimate adjacency: communication training that helps people function better while proper treatment does its work.

Can NLP Replace Medical Treatment?
