Newsnight - Brain Gym part 2

man dennison looks stupid here

So ritualised behaviour makes kids calm down and so better able to learn (big whoop).

But teaching kids complete BS about how our bodies work is unforgiveable, especially for teachers.

Look, there is a lot pseudo-science BS in the lingo with these guys. Yes.
However, all I know is that his exercises really, actually do work as advertised. Their descriptions as to WHY they work are pseudo-science, but the fact is that THEY WORK! For a hundred years, scientists had no idea HOW aspirin worked--- look it up! But, the fact was, Aspirin got rid of pain. It worked. Brain Gym does too. I don't know why, but it DOES!!!

Dennison is not a good advert for his ideas. It's a shame that Americans can't seem to get good independent journalism.

This also goes to show how children can just soak up anything they are told. This is why religion should be left until kids are old enough to think for themselves.

We need men like this in America. I have never seen such an display of awesome interviewer in my life. Contact the director of foreign transportation. We are going to import a Paxman!

It's easy when the interviewee is a moron

But it's unscientific bullshit.

not exactly the shoulders of giants is it?

If there is so much proof then why is it still called 'alternative medicine'? If an 'alternative medicine' is proven to be demonstrably effective it is no longer called 'alternative' and simply becomes medicine...
When a plant is proven to cure a disease it is no longer called 'alternative medicine', it becomes simply 'medicine'!
