I'm sure this subject has come up before, but I came across this by accident and thought I'd share.

Not to suggest anything creepy. I think it really is what it says, despite maybe being quackish. If you read down on the page, at one point they missed a "Fear of Flying" that was supposed to be changed to "Fear of Tickling" for this particular page.

That's for one-on-one, guaranteed lifetime elimination of a phobia. The home program goes for $147.

I've seen that site before. Basically it has a list of phobias and a list of what those phobias mean. That site will look the same for a million different phobias, just replacing the word tickling with say, scorpions. It's not really about tickling, it's just a generic page made to sell stuffs! It's true.

For comparison, look at this webpage. It's the exact same, but it replaces fear of tickling with fear of bald men.

Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
