## What this page said

The page opened with the line that stress can make you sick, and described the clinic's staff as experts in helping people manage its negative effects. It said the programs combined conventional medicine with a self-care approach and that patients could expect reduced stress-related symptoms, a better quality of life and in some cases the healing of conditions, with improvements often seen within weeks.

Visitors chose from a list of conditions and symptoms to reach the relevant program. Several of the condition pages in the 2006 capture were unfinished placeholders marked as needing copy, so the list is better read as the intended structure than as finished clinical content. Outcome claims are the institute's own.

## Key points from the original

- Described all patient services as based on the relaxation response.
- Claimed improvement within weeks for most patients.
- Several linked condition pages were never completed.
