How effective are meridian tapping techniques?

After success with a significant number of individual war veterans, EFT has recently been approved for the treatment of PTSD by the US Department of Veterans Affairs.

EFT has also been tested clinically. A randomised, double blind clinical trial on 29,000 general anxiety sufferers over 14 years in South America delivered remarkable results versus Cognitive Behavioural Therapy evidenced from patient records and brain scans.

• 63% of the control group was judged as having improved.
• 90% of the experimental group was judged as having improved.
• 51% of the control group was judged as being symptom free.
• 76% of the experimental group was judged as symptom free.
• At one-year follow-up, the patients receiving tapping treatments were less prone to relapse or partial relapse than those receiving CBT/medication, as indicated by the independent raters assessments and corroborated by brain imaging and neurotransmitter profiles.
• In a related pilot study by the same team, the length of treatment was substantially shorter with energy therapy and related methods than with CBT/medication (mean = 3 sessions vs. mean = 15 sessions).

Faster EFT/Eutaptics has now spread around the world on the basis of thousands of individual success stories.
