Has Anyone Tried TMS (transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Or MeRT Which Is Apparently Similar?

The cost is high, the studies are thin, seems like risk is low. Would like to know if anyone has tried it.

I had a friend who did this and helped her win so much! She spent 20k.
He now is able to play with his peers and speak multiple
Languages.
But it is not a
For sure thing.

I tried it with my son and they show you the process your child has made with pics of the brain
After about 3 weeks my son’s brain was not making more process so they didn’t recommend we continue.
You do pay each week 3k and they expect 5-6 sessions

I heard from a couple parents on another board who thought there were some benefits, but couldn’t say for sure. I’m really irritated with the unethical way this was framed to me along with the ridiculously high price tag (upwards of $15k + paid upfront), and you lose your $ if you don’t or can’t continue with it. The studies are feeble, and mostly carried out by clinics who are selling this treatment. It’s downright predatory. It would be one thing if it was a more flexible and forgiving payment structure, especially considering there aren’t any studies showing a rigorous schedule of treatments works best. The clinic told me their pricing is in line with other clinics, as if that makes it okay.

Haven't heard of it either but sounds intriguing! I'm not sure how it works, but if you decide to do it... Is there a possibility of a payment plan or some kind of sponsorship for treatment?
