I don't actually own the course, but let's just say that a "friend" let me borrow it. I posted my thoughts on the system in this thread a while ago, but it looks like my post was deleted.
I got through the first 22 lessons and gave up on it. It was simply too mentally exhausting, and I found it difficult to retain the information over longer periods of time. I may have been able to recall most of the information on the following day, but 2-3 days later, I'd forget more than half of it. Visualization actually became more difficult as I progressed, which I found strange.
I believe that some type of visual component can help tremendously when it comes to retaining information. However, the visuals should be used in conjunction with other means.
Brutha mentioned that "having a bunch students that complete a medical degree in a halve the time it normally takes after getting through would be a sign of credibility (and please in a way that allows verification of the claims, testimonials don't count)."
I respectfully disagree. In fact, I'd be leery of seeing a doctor who used this program to study in medical school. Diagnosticians should possess an intuitive understanding of medicine. Simply memorizing bits of information won't make them good doctors.
Time and repetition is the only way to master a particular field. The brain actually goes through physical changes as new skills are formed. It's part of the natural learning process and there's really no shortcut. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by simply cramming the information.
This may work great if you're a visual learner, but despite popular belief, most people aren't. Most people benefit from learning in a variety of ways including visually, auditory, and hands-on. You need to find what combination works best for you.
