I”ll have this conversation with you publicly in case any others were wondering the same thing. Feel free to comment back until there is complete understanding and resolution one way or another.

I’ll copy what you wrote and comment in to address every thought:

“How many of those who have purchased and tried the program have succeeded? ”

100% as mentioned in the post http://www.acnepractice.com/blog/2011/04/18/faq-what-is-success-rate-of-the-home-version/

“What is the rate there?”

100%

“There are a lot of parameters listed for those that qualify as actual patients in order to validate the 100% success rate.”

(for those reading, see link above)

While impressive nonetheless, it does raise questions about the success of the program because it could be not that those who did not meet those objectives are not good patients

it’s not questionable or subjective or in any way here. The program comes with a 27 page manual that specifically outlines the rigid emotional rules of program. The primary one being that if a client is concerned, they are expected to ask for assistance in a time-sensitive manner. Those who follow these emotional rules without bending them or negotiation find their way to victory. Those who negotiate, bend, or break rules that have been in place for over 5 years, effectively self-remove themselves from this particular program. Fortunately, there is an email record of all emails which allows me to review any case. After careful review, I have found that anyone who tenaciously and repeatedly asks for assistance in a time-sensitive manner has found victory in 100% of cases.

If someone says they “failed”, I simply search them up and evaluate their participation in asking for assistance. After years of doing this, it becomes very obvious who is committed to being coached and who is unwilling to ask for help. It’s a common behavioral problem that is seen with many chronic conditions. There are strict rules here to extract these predictable behaviors from the experience here. It’s one of the many innovations of this new paradigm of medicine.

“but rather that the program just did not work for them and these are excuses why it did not work in order to rationalize a 100% success rate. With all the marketing schemes out there, any reasonable person would wonder this.”

see above. that blog post you are referring to was not an act of marketing. it was a report.

Please try not to associate this new case study driven practice with the last 30 years of acne infomercials or cosmetic “marketing” They were using makeup and pro lighting in the after shots. It becomes obvious when you zoom in.

Without having the instruction manual in front of you to know the rigidity of the program, I can see how this report can be confusing. In general, everyone should know that when a client joins here, their every action, inaction, and emotion is being monitored every single day via email or lack thereof. If a client is concerned and not emailing for assistance for many days in a row, they have simply been self-removed. After recognizing their own delay and mistake, all clients are welcome to restart their own program when they are ready to follow this program as it was laid down many years ago.

hope this helps clear up any confusion,
