Both Eskapa and Sinclair are on FB. I believe they are for-real profiles. I have exchanged brief emails with Dr. Sinclair and he was very gracious. There is also a small TSM group page.

Facebook is the most privacy-rapacious entity on the internet. I would caution anyone with privacy concerns against doing this. It is just staggering how Facebook collects personal data about us. Assume anything you do or say on FB is out there for all the world to see -- despite your "privacy" settings. Here's an article, and I suggest you take the quiz if you have a FB page.

EDIT: Joe, I should add that looking on their FB page to get their email addresses is a great idea. Both Sinclair and Eskapa always are delighted to hear from TSMers. And, for those brave souls willing to tell the whole world, by all means join their FB pages!!

^ yeah, be aware that groups you are a member of are displayed on your public facebook page-- no privacy setting can turn this off.

So if you join a TSM-related facebook group, that will be public info.

I'm torn. On the one hand, if TSM were mainstream it should not be much more embarrassing - or damaging - than becoming a fan of Bean-o.

On the other hand: we have our culture as it is, not as it should be. Sigh.

I would happily join a sinclair method page and have it displayed, but the word "cure" seems to be just trying to ruffle feathers. where can I find eskapa and sinclair on FB? I'm not seeing them

Here are three links you might find useful. I cannot verify anything about them.

So sinclair has like 83 friends and eskapa has 9? what is this? everything I see about these guys makes them look like total quacks. Why the hell would they not have a better web prescence than that? and the video of Sinclair I saw is the worst thing ever. I mean he's in front of the worst backdrop with the worst sound and poor lighting. it's worse than a home movie not meant to even be o nyoutube. at last pick somewhere pretty to sit down! you'd think these smart guys would know better if they have the cure. Are you sure this is real? It really makes me doubt the whole thing. A cure that works and the author of the book has 9 friends! REALLY? C"MON!

this better work. I'm putting an awful lot of stock into this board and its 14 cured people. I feel duped by a failed attempt to dupe people. but I'll keep going.
