Afraid of The Dark?

Here's a excerpt from Joseph Jeffries article as featured on the Therapy Lounge site that's appropriate for the Halloween season...

Nearly five million adults in the UK are scared of the dark, a new study has revealed.

Researchers at Warwick Castle questioned 3,000 adults in a specially commissioned survey, and discovered that one in four of them cannot drift off to sleep at night unless they leave a bedside light on.

The thought of coming back to a dark home at night is one that clearly worries a large number of adults, as six out of ten of admit to leaving a light switched on when they go out.

Of the adults who admitted to being scared of the dark, 10% of them said the fears dated back to their childhood. Warwick Castle's general manager, Tim Harrison-Jones, said he understood why a child might fear the dark but admitted he was surprised to find how many adults still fear gloomy surroundings.

"It's surprising how many adults harbour this secret fear," The Mirror quoted Mr Harrison-Jones as saying.

"If you are one of those people, perhaps it's not a good idea to watch a horror film before bed," he added.

Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band Training

From 15th -17th October I will be guest speaker at a training course for fellow hypnotherapists in New York.

My Speech will focus on 'Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band'. This technique has been proven 95% succesful and I have the results to prove it. I have run two trials to prove this, one of which had the backing of the National Health Service and the astounding results received international press coverage.

'Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band' was created by me, Sheila Granger and based on a hypnosis concept. I use my own personalised programme and am willing to teach the technique to others as I am passionate about promoting the benefits of hypnotherapy and I believe this technique (if used correctly) can help millions of people all over the world, so the more hypnotherapists that use my specific method the better.

'Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band' is not in any way connected with any other hypnotherapy clinic, hypnotherapist, or business that deliver weight loss programmes using hypnotherapy.

NHS spend £50m on Slimming Pills

Hannah McLaverty-Willamson recently reported some frightening figures on expenditure by the NHS on the Therapy Lounge website. To read the article in full click here. or read the highlights below.

A dramatic rise in the number of patients being prescribed slimming pills, has left the NHS with a bill of nearly £50 million.

The number of prescriptions for Orlistat, one of the most popular slimming drugs recently broke the million mark for the first time. The cost of the prescription drug, which stops the body absorbing fat has soared to £35.7 million which is three quarters of the all of the money spent by the NHS on anti-obesity drugs.

As reported by the Daily Mail in 2009 alone the NHS spent £47 million on drugs similar to Orlistat, which is a 13 per cent rise on spending in 2008 and a huge 55 per cent increase since 2005.

At present it is estimated that 30,000 people die every year in the UK because of their obesity. The total cost of fat related illness to the NHS is thought to have cost more than £4 billion, which has left many people arguing that those suffering with obesity should find alternative ways to lose weight which is not at the tax payers expense.
