Date: Sat, 27 Jan 1996 16:58:00 EST From: [log in to unmask] (MR ROBERT A MARTONE) Subject: Hypnosis -- [ From: Bob Martone * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Feel I must share with all of you an interesting experience I was privileged to have about 5 or 6 years ago. Mike Klaybor a hypnotherapist was interested in helping those of us with PD His approach: self hypnosis . I believe he "found" me through the UT Medical school, where I had taken part in adrenal implant experimental surgery. It did not take long at all for him to get me to the point where I could through self hypnosis stop the dyskenesia. While it was quite limited... I really needed a fairly quiet spot and a straight back arm chair.... quite a bit of control was possible. He invited me to be the subject of a presentation he was making on his findings to grand rounds at the UT Med School. I was actually able to sit in front of all those medical people and successfully enter a light trans state and basically quiet my dyskenesia down significantly. I remember he also showed a video of a man whose head rolled so uncontrollably you wondered how it stayed on. This man dramatically improved by going into a trans state.. To this day I don't understand why I did not go further with Dr. Klaybor on this. It really is a very effective way of getting some relief from the dreadful dyskenisia. I did not have much success trying to control tremor but maybe if I had continued with Dr.. Klaybor I might have been able to so much more. The potential for some real relief through self hypnosis is very real and I encourage anyone to give it a try. Dr. Klaybor would probably be happy to share his findings with us. I will give him a call on Monday and talk to him about this. NancyMartone@vrg559a
