I've been practicing UT therapy since august 2004 and can tell you it is not a temporary thing. I feel better as the time goes on. The biggest improvement in the last two months is the way I feel (emotionnaly, spiritually, mentally)... I used to experience a little depression once in a while, but I notice I don't get those lows anymore. I don't think the effects are temporary unless you stop the therapy. I keep feeling better and better as the time goes by. I try to improve my diet...
