==Question: Did BYU ever use vomiting as part of aversion therapy?==
 
===Vomiting was not used ===
 
 
 
McBride's thesis thoroughly describes the methods used to induce aversion.  He did not use vomiting.  This fact is verified in the interview with Dr. Thorne, available as the FAIR podcast referenced above, as well as by a specific statement to this effect from BYU:
 
 
 
<blockquote>
 
The BYU Counseling Center never practiced therapy that would involve chemical or induced vomiting.[http://abcnews.go.com/Health/mormon-gay-cures-reparative-therapies-shock-today/story?id=13240700&page=2#.TzrMQ1wS2Sw]
 
</blockquote>
 
 
 
Most of the accusations of using induced vomiting come from: 1) a person who admits that he never underwent therapy and 2) from the "documentary" 8: The Mormon Proposition (which contains several false accusations as detailed [[Criticism of Mormonism/Video/8: The Mormon Proposition|here]]). These two accounts are not consistent with each other. In short, there is no reliable documentation of the use of induced vomiting at BYU.
