Will read the ASA report. Clearly coeliac is not an anxiety disorder. It’s an autoimmune disease. I mean, you all know that already. Maybe Sam doesn’t.

Just read it. That’s a great outcome! Summary: The ads must not appear again in the forms complained about. We told Tomwill (Holdings) Ltd to ensure they did not make claims that their service could treat or cure anxiety unless they held sufficient evidence to support their claims. We also told them to ensure their future marketing communications did not discourage essential treatment for conditions for which advice should be sought from suitably-qualified health professionals.

This company are still advertising on Facebook. I contacted them as have a teenage son with anxiety. It’s a hard sell, praying on vulnerable parents. When she phoned me back to find out if we were going to join up and I said we couldn’t afford to because of the cost (£5k +) she basically said we were bad parents at not finding the money to cure our son and put the phone down on me. Avoid at all costs. Glad I found these posts to confirm it. Big love to all other parents with anxious kids - it’s tough. 😘

@Gin71 thank you for sharing your recent experience here; I’m so sorry to learn this has happened for you and I hope you receive the support and help you need for your son

That’s rubbish, gin. It’s swan with another name change, I’m sorry I didn’t see your contribution until just now. Can’t believe they tried to make you feel bad! It’s just another example of how they’re all about the money and not actually about well-being.

And I hope you get some support for your son, it’s not easy at all.
