In the beginning the originators looked at all the therapists that were ultra successful to see if it was just them or could it be learned and taught. They found that yes the technique could be learned and taught,

When I was practicing I cured people of phobias and all kinds of malfunctions of the mind using NLP. So yes it can be used positively much good can come of it.
People greatly lacking in confidence were taught how to project them selves using NLP.
Brain power can be enhanced.

In therapy the ego will sabotage the "cure" as there is massive pay value in being a victim, the center of attention - co-dependent. So embedded suggestions are made to the subconscious un tampered with by the ego. end results are implied.

This is the intended use of it by the person who originated it. And it's with permission, because the patient/client has hired the therapist to do therapy.

An honest politician would not try to fool the public.

Chris says Agree totally seashore.

That is so too, but honest politicians will use N.L.P. honestly.
It is just a way of giving impact to the words, the words are out there for all to hear and agree or disagree. If the technique was so potent then everyone would have to agree with the speaker and that just dosent happen.
All political parties use sound bites, slogans, spin Dr's. Its the way it is seashore..
There are politicians and there are Statesmen, they are a rare breed.

Seashore, completely agree.

Words and charisma are deceiving.
People who care about politics should focus on policy details rather than words or charm of their favorite politician or political party.
Hopefully our world can evolve past money soon.
