[edit] TAT vs. acupressure
How does this technique differ from standard acupressure? Can a section be added explaining the differences and and (dis)advantages? Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 22:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have studied and used TAT for specific allergies, for which it is designed for about 10 years. If there were a standard acupressure I'm sure one would find many differences between it and TAT. Acupressure uses quite a number of meridian insertion points to relieve physical stress, most often during massage. TAT uses two points at the inner eyebrows at the bridge of the nose and the occipital protuberance to remove emotional/mental stress from past traumatic events and/or conditions resulting such as allergies. In my personal experience and in treating clients in my practice it has been quite effective.
The entries for TAT and every other form of non-traditional medical or psychological methodology are highly politicized and not to be relied upon as accurate. It's clear to anyone who has ever taken even a cursory glance at TAT that the description here was written by those lacking any kind of direct knowledge on this subject.

- Believe it or do not, the article is a lot more informative than when I found it. It also correctly describes the preliminary trial which is incorrectly touted as scientific proof. By all means, please source and describe what goes on when the technique is applied. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 00:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
