Come to think of it, the only SCAM that SCAM therapist would probably not recommend in Elon’s case is vaginal steaming (which Gwyneth Paltrow is so fond of)!
So, Elon’s choice is enorm; but what about efficacy?
Like most ailments that SCAM is claimed to help with, there is a (not so slight) drawback: the evidence that they actually do any good is absent or very week. For Elon, this might not be a problem (he can afford to waste a few $$). As we have seen, for instance, from his claims about DOGE, he does not believe in evidence any more than in empathy.
PS
Of course, now Elon has other problems. In case you read this, Elon, for dealing with the separation from your former master and guru, Trump, let me recommend to you: Berlin Wall D12 [my bill is in the post].

I suggest Slapping Therapy: https://edzardernst.com/2016/12/slapping-therapy-no-thanks/ for Elon.
It will cure his black eye and his drug habit. Two bird with one slap!
it might create a black cheek.
Should Elson Musk take up your advice Edzard and try to source Berlin Wall D12 then he may have problems procuring it.
I am not sure if Berlin Wall is easily available in D12 potency. So that Elon or anyone else with a shiner after the weekend avoids disappointment it may be best to correct the advised potency from D12 to 12C or 30C.
Berlin Wall 12X is available ≡ D12.
same degree of dilution; yet to a homeopath, these two are not identical!
I’ve been fully aware of that difference since:

I deliberately tried to make it ‘hard to get’ for Elon assuming that this might increase his interest.
Maybe Edzard is the only supplier in the world of Berlin Wall D12?
maybe!
except every homeopathic phamacy on the planet would produce it on command.
Couldn’t they just recommend hitting him again?
yes but only by a nano-child.
