However, the general public must take full responsibility for their use of it.

^{If you experience any unusual symptoms practicing the technique you should seek the advice of a health professional immediately. Although the results of our research and others in the academic world indicate that many people benefit from the use of Clinical EFT with their food cravings, weight loss, anxiety and depression, the responses to the technique are quite specific to each individual. The effectiveness of EFT may vary from person to person, and such we make no guarantees about individual outcomes. A lack of result or progress may mean you need advice or intervention from a health professional. For assistance to locate an appropriate health professional, please email us at [email protected].}
