Too much of this is religion dressed up. People paying for miraculous salvation. Martin Luther would have something to say here.

There is nothing miraculous about scanning the brain, and looking whats going wrong, it's a science based process.

I looked at it and did the questionnaire he supplies.

The scientific criticism is valid, there's no direct link between his scans and the outcomes. He uses the science as a correlation for everyday self help stuff and catholic salvation.

It's not coincedence he talks about believing in miracles and jokes about wanting to become a catholic priest as a child. He grew up seriously into the church.

People are essentially paying for salvation and at a steep price, this is exactly why the protestant churches got started. Look closer!

Except mainstream science rejects the validity of SPECT scans as a diagnostic tool for ADHD.

fMRI is getting closer as time passes and the techniques improve but still agreed to not be good enough yet.
