I have posted this in the Break Room, as its so hard to take seriously. It was posted on ThatFootSite:

Proprioceptive Signals reset the global tonus patterns via a reprogramming of the postural center in the cerebellum (current theory). The changes are dramatic. Ptosis (drooping upper eyelid),up, until recently required surgical intervention. Now, the problem can be reverse used the correct type and strength of Proprioceptive Signal - See http://www.rothbartsfoot.info/Testimonialsgen.html for clinical cases.
We live in an age where the worlds foremost thinkers have not yet discovered a cure for cancer.
We have not yet cracked reversing the aging process.
We have not even yet put a man on the moon (for the conspiracy theorists out there)
BUT all is not lost, somewhere in the world, a lone man strives to cure the world of all its ailments with a bit of an insole!
If I tried a new orthosis today, and developed diarrhoea, using Rothbart scientific analysis, the insoles would have cured me of my constipation!
Proprioceptive stimulation reverses the anterior rotation of the innominates (hips), which in turn, positionally decompresses the intestines and colon. Waste products pass through the colon more quickly and efficiently,
At least on ThatFootSite, the concepts get treated with the same contempt as here:

If this is the standard by which to evidence your research, little wonder you have been so discredited by your peers. Have been following the internet threads on these insoles for some time now and I have to say that my own view is similar to the vast majority of our colleagues who regard you as little more than a self-effacing crank who plainly knows little about his chosen subject - and worse, assumes his peers share the same vacuousness about podiatric and lower limb biomechanics as he does. Isn't it about time you ceased being a total embarrassment to the profession and did something worthwhile for a change?
Gotta hand it to Brian, he does make a good case. He is referring to the before / after photos on his site as "research" published on the internet. Ie 5 photos. Of somebody squinting. I therefore submit MY "research PUBLISHED on the internet in the same way.
As you can see this proves a distinct improvement in the alignment of the neck. THese photos were taken 2 minutes apart before and after we remove the insoles i had issued to this patient previously and have not been modified or doctored in any way. Honest.

And the patient also appears to have lost weight... Bravo Robert! Do you sell these insoles on an accredited website too?
Why on earth would Rothbart use pre-& post surgical photos to "prove" the worth of his insoles - doesn't that automatically mean another modality has achieved the outcome? I wonder how that surgeon feels about the insole taking the credit?

BeLIEve it!!!
We also have encouraging signs that the shrinkage of the polar icecaps slows down every time we issue a pair of these. The EVIDENCE is that we will need to use 4654 pairs to halt global warming. Also deforestation.

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side.

So what you're saying Robeer, is that these insoles have a negative carbon footprint? Truly amazing. I'll take 10 pairs thanks.:p
