What a disservice to pediatricians to distribute this report. The German research alluded to is not referenced. The abstract of the review article quoted as being in the Official Journal of the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society is available on line. But guess what? The articles are "by invitation" and not subjected to peer review. And looking up the article's first author (Martijn Arns)quickly reveals that he owns a company that manufactures diagnostic and treatment instruments used in this form of treatment. So, we have an invited article by someone who has a commercial interest in the product. This should have all been clearly stated in the review or as a comment.
