Dr. Peterson has in my opinion received a lot of undeserved heat, for example this thread at the open minds forum (or should that be closed minds and shoddy research forum?):

Some folks do a few Google searches and don't find anything and right away blast someone as a liar. Or they nit pick a how many hour? Interview, where someone may have just made a slip of the tongue, and say they can't be telling the truth (at one point I think Dr, Peterson said or implied something happened in the fifties, when it couldn't have -- I think he meant the sixties). I thought the post that claimed he was a Hollywood actor was funny.
Having said all that, I am ambivalent about what I have found. For example, I don’t understand how hololinguistics could possibly work, but those sorts of issues are properly addressed by experiments with the proper controls and not by argument, and I not familiar with the exact protocols used in experiments in that area. Also “energy medicine” devices as a broad category have somewhat of a bad reputation, though that can't be laid at Dr. Peterson's doorstep. See the following Seattle Times article for further information.

In the end though, I thank Dr. Peterson for taking the time and effort to come forward and present his take on things.
