If it 'really boils down to the money', then throw a half hour of your life away learning about Marty Mann and R. Brinkley Smithers, two people who are primarily responsible for this specific corruption of science. This theory you mention is based on a study funded by Smithers and designed by Mann, a person of no particular ability or training in medicine or psychiatry. The paper's owner, a Dr. Jelinek, withdrew his findings once the scientific community exposed the absence of rigor and false conclusions he made in it. Regardless, Dr. J served his purpose as his flawed results are still touted as 'proof'.
Information is scary and threatening too, and is only 'good' if that mindware gap discussed on another thread here is a small one, with effective equipment available to the individual to bridge the gap. If that gap is significant, then information is deemed to be bad.
I am astounded a law needed to be passed requiring that efficacy of any treatment regime be demonstrated before public funds are made available. It will take at least a generation before this particular flavor of common sense becomes common again.
