What she says makes sense and probably works for some people. However, I tried it and it didn't work for me. Looking at what she talks about, it doesn't seem like it would hurt to do and that's probably the bottom line with following any of the 'out of the medical community' cures.

Try not to feel overwhelmed. You get more out of it each time you read it.
