Summary
This important, free article was published
in the Institute for Complementary Medicine (ICM) Online Journal in the March
2005 issue. The article is of particular value to sufferers and victims - and
their carers, of chronic, long-term or terminal illnesses such as Cancer or
AIDS. It illustrates how life quality and remission rates, where appropriate,
can be vastly improved by employing some fairly straightforward and simple
mental strategies and “Mind Tools”.
The article ranges across the
following areas.
The use of some very effective ‘Mind tools’ based upon
modern psychological techniques, to deal with stress, ‘anger management’ and
negative mental or emotional states. These may be applied very effectively in
improving the mental and even physiological states of sufferers of chronic
conditions such as cancer, AIDS and some other long-term or terminal
illnesses.
Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) are two such,
highly effective Mind Technologies - which are used synergistically and this
combination is termed HypnosNLP (TM). Descriptions of how these and other allied
techniques can be used to improve the ‘Life Quality’ of cancer victims are
discussed. Also drawn upon are the work and case studies of some very prominent
exponents in this field, such as the Drs Simonton, Dr Bernie Siegel, Dr Lawrence
LeShan, Dr Herbert Benson and others.
Press Release:
Gregory Antão a
UK based Hypnotherapist and Licensed NLP Practitioner has written an article on
how some cutting edge Mind Technologies can be used very effectively to enhance
life quality and rates of remission of victims and sufferers of chronic,
long-term or terminal illnesses such as Cancer or AIDS.
Today in the UK
cancer is part of the grim reality of modern life. In fact ‘more than one in
three people will be diagnosed with a cancer in their lifetime and one in four
will die from cancer.’ Very grim statistics indeed.
One important
question addressed by the article is: "Are there particular traits or predicates
that may predispose someone to developing cancer?"
American Dr Douglas
Brodie, MD, who specializes in the treatment of cancer patients using
alternative therapies, has identified what he calls a Cancer Personality.’
This is comprehensively described in the article.
Another
important question also addressed is: “Is there a given patient psychological
profile – which may predispose someone to respond very favourably to these
treatments?” This is also comprehensively described in the article.
The
article also discusses the following aspects of treatments:
1) The link
between the effects of stress, such as adrenaline release and the decrease in
the availability of antibodies, as well as the reduction in both the number and
potency of lymphocytes. Also addressed is the direct connection between the
immune system organs - the spleen, the thymus gland, bone marrow and the lymph
nodes - and how the emotional states of depression and elevated stress can
adversely affect immune efficacy. Also most importantly, how the two-way
neuropeptide communication links between the brain and body cells and organs can
be affected by different ‘mind states’ .
2) The successful, contemporary,
alternative mind therapies, used to treat cancer and chronically ill patients,
covered by this article, range from the well known "Placebo Effect" to the
relatively modern field of ‘Psychoneuroimmunology’ (PNI).
3) Also covered
are other Mind Therapies such as ‘Affirmation’, ‘Meditation’ and
‘Visualization’. The highly important work of an Australian psychiatrist, the
late Dr. Ainslie Meares, in relation to ‘meditation directed against tumours’,
came to public notice during the ‘70s and early ‘80s. This had a very high rate
of efficacy in the remission rates of the disease. Meares believed that his
treatment significantly ‘reduced anxiety, depression, discomfort, and pain’ in
about 50 percent of his patients. He also affirmed that tumour regression, as a
result of the ‘intensive meditation’, was experienced by at least 10 percent of
the ‘advanced cancer patients’ he had treated. This is highlighted in this
article.
Using the predominantly Visualization based Simonton approach -
there were reports from the Drs. Simonton claiming an enhanced life expectancy
of about 150-200 percent over ‘nationally expected norms’ for control groups of
cancer sufferers who had only employed conventional medical
interventions.
4) The article also goes on to cite some extraordinarily
encouraging results using Hypnosis and NLP, as well as the Psychotherapy and
ECaP programs conducted by Dr Lawrence LeShan MD and Dr Bernie Siegel MD
respectively.
5) These treatment modalities have also been independently
reviewed - with some very positive indications, by the US Congress, Office of
Technology Assessment, in their report ‘Unconventional Cancer Treatments,
OTA-H-405, in Chapter 2. Behavioral and Psychological Approaches’.
6) The
use of Gregory Antao's own highly effective synergistic method of HypnosNLP(TM)
is described in the article also.
