There are very few people in US who cannot afford 3.70 a day if they want to, and most lower middle-class and up, could easily afford it with a little creativity. Considering the hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific data and funding for research from NIH etc., to anyone who is willing to do some investigating, it is easy to see that all the other 'cheaper' techniques are devoid of this. As a rational person, I prefer to spend more, and get well documented quality, rather than a possibly second rate undocumented technique. Maybe TM is not for the irrational.
