Actually Bates said it would work for everyone who did not have
organic problems (from accidents, etc.).  But Bates only showed people
what to do, they would have to continue it at home and all day long.
They would then be seen 2-3 times a week.

Mike, I think it would be best to become a little more familiar with
Bates.  Would you like me to scan in a short piece that he had from
the magazines that would explain what an average first visit was like?
Or if you would like any other info, and if I have time, I would be
willing to try to dig up whatever you like and post it here.

Kory
