Her views are criticized by Professor François Jornayvaz, department head at Geneva University Hospitals: "She hides behind a pseudoscientific appearance to advocate a method which, in my opinion, doesn't work and is based on very little evidence. The scientific studies she cites are highly anecdotal, if not outright false, or not applicable to what she proposes."[10]
