In late August, 2011, Alexander, Duke
of Manchester, distraught and sometimes close to tears, asked me to
assist him in getting justice and reviving his good name. He told me
his name had been unjustly tarnished. Assured the cause was just by
my friend, Raye Smith, I agreed to assist them, putting up a website
overnight and laying out a campaign to redefine his identity.
The Manchesters loved the site. Here
is the email they sent, having viewed it. Over the next two months I
received around 450 emails, many loaded with documents and jpegs to
be used on the site or for the other projects.
Researching what had happened was on
the agenda but left for later. We agreed I would begin by doing
interviews, compiling documents, which they would send, and by
helping the Duke become identified with a worthy cause which would
garner public support.
The idea of a refuge for cute little
kittens, suggested by Duchess Laura, I rejected. Instead, I
persuaded the Duke helping veterans with PTSD obtain treatment which
could extinguish their symptoms would both be popular and worthwhile.
This cause was, and is, near and dear to my heart so having it taken
up by The Duke struck me as killing two birds with one stone.
The Duke told me, for publication, he had
spent most of his life in the military. This proved to be a lie, but
at the time I did not question his statements.
Neurofeedback is a therapeutic approach
which is inexpensive, available, and effective. Alex said he would
be delighted to promote it but first must try it himself. I arranged
for him to get the loan of a unit from Zengar, which produces a
state-of-the-art unit which sells for around $10,000.
The arrangements were made between
Alexander and Zengar, who shipped him the unit. The loan was for a
short period, after which it either had to be returned or payments
made.
Here are the emails which ensued.
