New Year, New You - Virtual Gastric Band

At this time of year we all start thinking about ways to lose the Christmas paunch and make New Year’s resolutions to look after our health. There is usually a large range of fitness DVD’s, books, celebrity endorsed diets and gyms experience their most profitable month of the year but for the majority, by the end of January the bad habits return and we slip back into the old routine. Whilst some of these weight loss remedies do work temporarily, what is really needed is something that supports will-power, deals with cravings and stops the need for certain foods that make us feel guilty. There are many overweight people awaiting surgery for a gastric band, but weight loss doesn’t need to be that drastic.

A Clinical Hypnotherapist has developed a weight loss system which incorporates the Virtual Gastric Band and many people have found long-term weight loss success in a way that diets cannot. There is nothing magical or mystical about it. The Virtual Gastric Band treatment is based on four weekly hypnotherapy sessions, during the first of which the ‘virtual’ band is fitted. This is followed by three more sessions which reinforce the band and deal with the psychological triggers which allow us to over eat. One specific hypnotherapist can back this up with results from a trial with an astounding 95% success rate.

Sheila Granger says: “Feedback from my clients says that it is like flicking a switch in the brain. The Virtual Gastric Band changes the attitude towards food. Many people think about food all day long and often over eat, even though it makes them feel uncomfortable. My treatment helps to break that habit and enables a person to take control of their eating habits once and for all.”

The profile of this treatment is currently being raised amongst medical practitioners who understand the benefits of hypnotherapy for a variety of habits, ailments and also physical conditions. The Virtual Gastric Band could ultimately save the NHS £millions. Don’t waste your Christmas money on a temporary fat buster. Instead, invest in a permanent solution for a new you.

Choice of Colour Affects Hypnotherapy

A new study involving a colour test showed that people who choose positive colours were nine times more likely to respond than those who chose a negative colour or no colour at all.

These findings could be used to predict responders to treatment.

Peter Whorwell worked with a team of researchers from the University of Manchester UK, to carry out the study using a colour chart called the ''Manchester Colour Wheel', which allows patients to choose colours that have previously been defined as positive, neutral or negative.

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Having chronic anxiety can get pretty upsetting every single day once it is not cured. It may also be the foundation of a more critical psychological disorder. It normally starts with a biological defensive reflex for a noticeable pending threat. This state may echo a bad feeling coming from an analogous past situation.

Hypnotherapy Can Save Your Life

Paul Wood recently published an interesting article about how Hypnotherapy can improve your health and increase your life....

Adopting a fitter lifestyle with the aid of Hypnotherapy could cease you from throwing away over a 10 years of your life span, as brand-new research shows that the combined effect of some of the most popular vices could be the difference between declining in your 60′s or your 80′s.

A new study, released in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at thousands of adults from across the UK. The researchers tracked the health records of British men and women which had carried out a health survey in the 1980′s, examining to find out how many had died over the next two decades and what they had died off.

The scholars proved that those which withheld all four ‘vices’ had a substantially greater chance of mortality. The ‘vices’ included smoking, drinking above 14 units (women) or 21 units (men) per week, consuming fewer than three portions of fruit and vegetables or carrying out less than two hours of exercise a week.

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.

Hypnotherapist to teach 'virtual gastric band' technique

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

Weight loss hypnotherapy is increasing in popularity due to successful results. There are many ways to lose weight via hypnosis and different organisations use various techniques. As you are probably aware 'Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band' is my personal method.

Blogger Beccas90 wrote an iteresting article comparing the most popular methods of weight loss hypnotherapy and it makes for an interesting read.

Read the article .

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.

Virtual Gastric Band in American News

As you will probably know. I am guest speaker at a training course for fellow hypnotists on the Virtual Gastric Band in New York this October and I am so pleased that it is already generating a buzz stateside.

Today, Virtual Gastric Band or Gastric Mind Band, as they're calling it in America has been featured on ABC7 Chicago News and Good Morning America both discussing the benefits of hypnosis in anticipation of New York's offering of the service.

I am so pleased that Marc Carlin has invited me to speak at the event and have every faith that the Virtual Gastric Band will take the States by storm.

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.

Tony Parsons: NHS Gastric Band Disaster

Here is Journalist and Author Tony Parsons reaction to the news that a man is attempting to sue the NHS following his gastric band operation:

A man who lost 12 stone after having a gastric band fitted is to sue the NHS.

Good luck to him. I hope he takes them for a fortune.

Some say that Tim Daily, 47, is an embittered, selfish man to sue the cash-strapped NHS.

I say he has every right to be bitter. He may have lost half his body weight thanks to the wonders of a gastric band, but he has also effectively lost his life.

Tim can’t eat. That is the grotesque reality of a gastric band. After having his gut strangled, he can no longer swallow a biscuit without washing it down with morphine. He can’t work. His wife is his full-time carer. His life is a misery.

Over the last ten years, almost 5,000 people have had gastric bands fitted on the NHS. A total waste of public money. That is the real obscenity.

A gastric band is not a diet aid. It is an act of self-mutilation.

You should not be able to get self-mutilation on the NHS.

What is Spontaneous Hypnosis?

Spontaneous hypnosis is the situation where the brain slips into the same state as in clinical hypnosis or deep meditation (high theta wave activity, combined with suppressed beta wave activity).

Daydreaming is the most common example; lucid dreaming would be another.

Hypnosis for Aerophobia

Aerophobia (fear of flying) is an incredibly common fear. Derren Brown's overtly sensational approach to the subject was broadcast on television last week. Hypnosis is not magic, you are always in control and always aware. It is about changing the way you think and enabling you to eliminate those deep rooted feelings that stop you from flying.

Hypnosis to Beat Breast Cancer Pain

The following article is from The Daily Mail...

Hypnosis could ease the pain of breast ­cancer. U.S. studies show that women with breast cancer which had spread to other parts of the body experienced significantly less pain if they underwent regular bouts of hypnosis.

In the latest study involving 124 women, half were given regular hypnosis as part of group therapy sessions. Their pain levels were then monitored for a year.
Although the therapy did not reduce the frequency of their pain, it did ease discomfort when it struck.

Around 40,000 women a year in Britain are diagnosed with breast cancer. If the tumour becomes metastatic, which means it has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body such as the bones or liver, some patients can experience significant pain.

It’s believed hypnosis works by altering pain perception. You have to pay attention to pain for it to hurt, so inducing hypnotic relaxation transforms perception in parts of the body, or directs attention elsewhere.

Hypnosis and Athletes

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Vicky was intimidated every time she stepped on the basketball court, a place that had previously been her domain. Any time the ball wound up in her hands, her first priority was to get rid of it. Don't dribble. Don't shoot. Doing either was an invitation to error.

Despite her talent, her size and her ambition to play basketball, Vicky had grown so spooked and demoralized by the other players that her goal had devolved from being the best to not embarrassing herself.

After repeated pleas from her parents and her coaches to just play and not to be anxious, Vicky's mother took her to see someone to help: a hypnotist.

Children's Hospital to Use Hypnosis

The Juliana children's hospital in The Hague is to start using hypnosis in an effort to reduce pain, stress and fear among patients, the AD reports on Monday.

Hypnosis will only be used if children and parents agree to the treatment but doctor Madelon Ruige told the paper children are receptive to the idea.

Amsterdam's Slotervaart hospital occasionally uses hypnosis, which led to questions in parliament last year.

The paper says hospital research carried out in 2007 showed that 85% of children with mysterious stomach pains saw their symptoms clear up with hypnosis. But only 25% of children given medicine got better.

Group Hypnosis for Drug Addicts

Here is and excerpt from an interesting article on how hypnosis is helping groups of addicts battle there addiction to drugs.

Drug addiction is one of the most troubling social problems of our times. It is a habit that is really difficult to break from. Even though we have rehabilitation and detox centers that can help treat addicts, another strategy being used to help those with this problem is group hypnosis.

Group hypnosis is not too different from individual hypnosis because the therapist will assist and guide the addicts to the same stages of hypnosis. There is a preparation stage get the addicts ready, induction and deepening to put them in a trance, circulation to impart in their subconscious to stop using illegal drugs and termination so they will be able to wake up from the session with a different state of mind.

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

As time goes by, more and more people suffer from anxiety disorders and other psychological illnesses due to the fact that the resilience of people when facing seemingly difficult situations has depleted.

News for Those Attempting to Quit Smoking

Blocking out all thoughts of smoking is not an effective way to quit the habit in the long-term, according to a new study.

Researchers from the University of London studied 85 smokers who smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day. The participants were split into 3 groups, the first was asked to suppress thoughts of smoking entirely, whilst the second group were told to actively talk about their habit. The third group was a control and changed nothing about their quitting strategy.

The study found that the group who suppressed their thoughts smoked less cigarettes at the beginning of the research, but by week three they were on average, smoking three more cigarettes per day than those who were open about their habit.

Hypnosis for Unexplained Infertility

A diagnosis of “unexplained infertility” can generate great feelings of anxiety of couples who want to be parents. Couples can feel helpless and frustrated with this diagnosis, but it really is the best news you can get after medical investigations. It means that there is NO physical reason you can not become parents… so it may be more helpful to look at it this way……
You are NOT infertile (you have the medical proof), you just haven’t conceived YET.

This philosophy is that the body has a natural tendency toward health, and embracing an optimistic outlook supports this rebalancing. Hypnosis is the method of teaching this principle to the mind.

Unhealthy Lifestyle Could Cost You.

The following is taken from William Hobson's article on The Therapy Lounge. To read the article in full please Click Here.

A recently published report has warned that unhealthy people in the UK could be denied free treatments for lifestyle related conditions.

The Daily Mail reports that the report, Visions of Britain 2020, maps out the impact that people who drink and eat too much whilst exercising too little could have on the healthcare system and the economy. Commissioned by Friends Provident and the Future Foundation, the report suggests that treatments such as IVF, dementia treatment and complementary therapies will no longer be free in 2020 with particular penalties accorded to those with unhealthy diets.

The proposal could drive people to help in changing their lifestyle such as hypnotherapy for weight loss, for will power, particularly as it also suggests that obesity surgery and drugs will no longer be paid for by the Health Service by the end of the decade.

Channel 4 Tonight 9pm: Fighting the Fat

Tonight's edition of the Channel 4 Series: Who Knows Best focuses on weight loss. A Clinical Hypnotherapist with 20 years experience battles it out with a personal trainer to find out who knows best when it comes to fighting the fat.

This is fantastic exposure for the effectiveness of hypnotherapy with weight loss. You will see from previous posts that my trials have been incredibly succesful, seeing people who have been denied surgery or decided against it, losing weight with hypnotherapy.

Perhaps in the future Channel 4 could focus on hypnotherapists vs surgeons, measuring up the success of the surgical operation next to the alternative therapy. I know which method my money would be on.

Hypnosis for Skin Conditions

The skin is the interface between our physical self and all that is beyond that self. Because of this our skin is also one of the main areas to which we have an emotional attachment and because skin problems and skin conditions are physically evident they have a distinct psychological component too.

Rashes, reddening, inflamation, soreness and pimples, eczema, pruritus or itching, psoriasis, acne – all are indications that something inside needs readjusting and rebalancing. And this can be and frequently is psychological and emotional in nature. The first thing to do with any persistent skin problem is to visit your doctor to make sure that it is not a symptom of something more serious.

If the medical treatment fails to work then maybe it is time to look towards your psychology. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, angry, guilty, resentful, upset? Might there perhaps be some underlying emotional factor at work here?

Though the skin problem may indeed have its origins in the physical – a viral or bacterial infection, for example – why is it that our own immune system appears to be incapable of dealing with it? When skin problems persist for any length of time and they fail to respond to conventional treatment, then we need to look elsewhere.

We might be wise to at least consider whether the feeling that we have lost control over our skin – of the way we interact and interface with the world – might possibly be an accurate relection of what is actually happening insde. We need to consider whether our skin may be reacting to the way we react to our self – or to our life.

If this is the case, then an excellent way to tackle the problem is through advanced therapeutic hypnotherapy. After all, it is the unconscious mind that controls the autonomic nervous system and the many processes that affect and influence the immune system. And hypnosis works hand in hand with the autonomic nervous system.

With properly applied advanced therapeutic hypnotherapy, once the actual origins of the internal imbalance have been treated and neutralized, the individual is then taught visualisation techniques that can calm and quell the symptoms of such imbalance – the skin problems themselves.

Using the advanced techniques of modern transformational hypnotherapy, the individual’s subconscious mind is helped to re-balance and readjust internal functioning. In expert hands, hypnotherapy can be really effective in gaining relief from many skin problems and skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, pruritus and even warts.

Skillfully applied advanced hypnotherapy can greatly assist you, helping you to improve your skin and returning you to your birthright – clear, glowing, problem-free skin with which to greet the world.

If you are suffering with a skin condition then please contact me for a free half-hour consultation.

Celebrities and Hypnosis

As previously mentioned Mel Gibson relies on Hypnotherapy to assist him through times of stress and what with his recent antics stealing the headlines recently. Mel's Hypnotherapist has spoken out about how the treatment benefits the actor. Click Here to read more.

In the last month it has also been reported, rather sensationally I might add, that Peter Andre has been using a hypnotist to help him wipe his memory of his life with former wife Katie Price (Jordan). Andre is perhaps using hypnosis as a means of coping with stress also. To suggest complete memory loss is complete fantasy and probably stems from the imagination of a showbiz journalist.
