You may know that people use hypnosis, acupuncture, sleeping pills, and even food to help with sleep. But a cell phone? I found out about this free app on Mashable.com. http://mashable.com/2012/07/11/zeo-sleep-101 Zeo Inc. (a technology company focused on sleep) just launched Sleep101 for the iPhone. Here’s the itunes link. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep101/id524193798 If you’ve seen sleep equipment, […]

In my first blog post on the health care ruling, I kept mentioning the phrase, “health teams.” In part two, we’ll discuss what that means. On page 435, section 3502, of the law, the title says, “Establishing Community Health Teams to Support the Patient-Centered Medical Home.” Yawn… Don’t fall asleep, yet; stay with me. It […]

On June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (11–393). One aspect of the law may produce a fundamental shift in health care: we may see more spending on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) while costs decrease. On page 436, section 3502, 6.F., it discusses requirements for health teams. […]

For some reason, many clients don’t mention their insomnia during our initial consultation. They list their medical problems in the paperwork, but they don’t list insomnia. For these silent sufferers, I only find out after they’ve resolved their sleep issue. Have you ever seen the movie “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell? I […]

The FDA approved Belviq, a new pill for weight loss. It’s not a miracle drug, but clinical studies show that it helps create modest weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Ads telling people to stop smoking have some effect, but one ad agency has produced something more powerful. In the ad, kids go up to random smoking adults and ask them for a light. In one exchange, one man says, “If you smoke, you die faster. Don’t you want to live and play?” After each […]

If you live in California, you don’t have to worry about smoke bothering you in a restaurant, hospital, office building, etc. But not all states have such protection. Smoking is a state-by-state issue, and some let smokers light up indoors. Yet Vietnam just leapfrogged the U.S. by banning smoking in public places. This is great […]

I’m in the very early planning stage for a hypnosis TV pilot. My big vision is to have hypnosis become mainstream. I have a vision of kids learning hypnosis in school to help them learn much faster; hospital patients use it to heal faster; others use it to change negative habits. As we let go […]

Leslie Mason, 54 years old, needed to have two rotten teeth removed, but he couldn’t afford the fee. When I read this, it surprised me since I thought the United Kingdom had health insurance for all. Anyhow, he went to a dentist who used hypnosis to control the pain. And it was free. Mr. Mason […]

Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania no longer hires smokers or people addicted to nicotine. Over the past few months I’ve noticed a disturbing set of news stories on places not hiring smokers. As I said in my previous post about Fort Worth, excluding an entire class of people is a slippery slope. Who’s the next group […]
