Chrysalis Effect
 | This article is a stub. |
The Chrysalis Effect advertises itself as a support program or treatment for ME/CFS.[1] Chrysalis Effect practitioners pay to receive training and resources, and then offer a Chrysalis Effect program to others.
Evidence
No peer-reviewed clinical trial research has been published to show the effectiveness or safety of the Chrysalis Effect.[1]
Action for ME, the largest UK charity for ME/CFS, refers directly to the Chrysalis Effect and several other unproven therapies, and includes the following warning:
We urge you to view with extreme caution any approach which claims to offer a cure and/or significant improvement, has not been adequately researched and published with peer-review, and requires the payment of large sums of money.[2]

Advertising complaint
