For me, that was attractive because when I worked in the Danish Society for Multiple Sclerosis, as a psychologist, I only had three to five hours for each client. So I couldn't do long-term therapy with so many people. It was not possible economically. And then I started using it in Denmark with people with multiple sclerosis. So with many people, you were able to make the central nervous system more balanced and in this way decrease symptoms.
