==Exclusively Treats MUS (Medically Unexplained Symptoms) and Conditions with No Measurable Biomarkers== It is concerning and suspicious that Gupta only treats MUS (Medical Unexplained Symptoms) and conditions not treated or well understood in mainstream medicine and with no measurable biomarkers– these include ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, [[Mold illness|Mold]], [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]], MCAS, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Long Covid, [[Anxiety]], Adrenal Fatigue, SIBO, CIRS, [[Burnout]], [[Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome|POTS]], [[multiple chemical sensitivity|Multiple Chemical Sensitivity]]. Some therapists primarily see these MUS as [[psychosomatic illness|psychosomatic conditions]] or manifestations of [[mental illness]]. It can also be seen as the height of medical arrogance to assume it is a mental illness because the aetiology has not been found. Where is the evidence that these conditions are all connected and are different manifestations of the same Amygdala and Insula hypothesis? These conditions are often misunderstood and seen as have a psychological origin and not a genuine disease pathway. There is new and promising research that these conditions are often co-morbid with [[joint hypermobility]] and [[Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome]]<ref name="HakimKeer2010">{{Cite book | title = Hypermobility, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain|trans-title=|chapter= | date = 2010-09-15| publisher = Elsevier Health Sciences|location=|isbn=978-0-7020-4993-4|edition=1st|volume=|language=en | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=NajRAQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Hypermobility,+Fibromyalgia+and+Chronic+Pain=en|chapter-url=| pages=|editor-last = |editor-first = |editor1-link = |editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = |editor2-link = | last = Hakim | first = Alan J. | authorlink = | last2 = Keer | first2 = Rosemary J. | authorlink2 = | last3 = Grahame | first3 = Rodney | author-link3 = |veditors=|others=|quote=}}</ref><ref name="HEDS-HSD">{{Cite book | title = Understanding Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder | date = 2017 | publisher = Redcliff-House Publications|isbn=978-1-9997300-0-0|language=en | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=g-SytQEACAAJ&dq=understanding&hl=en | last = Smith|first = Claire}}</ref>; there is also new research concerning autoantibodies and the immune system<ref name="autoantibodies2021">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jul/01/fibromyalgia-may-be-a-condition-of-the-immune-system-not-the-brain-study</ref>, it is not a highly reactive [[amygdala]]. Why does he not treat Cancer, Lupus, MS, Parkinsons? It would be absurd and insulting for patients of these conditions to be only treated and offered cures with brain retraining, CBT, NLP or [[Neuroplasticity]]. Why should sufferers of the illnesses Gupta claims to cure have to go through this either? Just because an underlying disease mechanism has not been found does not mean it does not exist.
