more people are turning to a controversial method that some say has unbelievable
results.
In fact, a local doctor says he has successfully treated over 12,000 patients –
with a 95-percent success rate.
The method uses hypnosis as the key to shedding those unwanted pounds and
keeping them off.
Debbie Kasper and Tony Fontana say they were skeptical; but together, they've
lost 165-pounds.
"I thought the bell was going to go off and I was going to bark like a chicken,"
jokes Fontana – who didn't think he would be a good candidate. "I'm a very
hard-headed, stubborn individual," he explains. "You can't hypnotize me!"
But after a hypnotherapy session with psychologist Dr. Bill Stiles, Fontana and
Kasper say the pounds started the melt away.
Fontana lost 80 pounds; Kasper lost 85 pounds.
"The hypnosis part allows them to get into what is called the 'alpha state,'
that's a state where you're relaxed enough that you're super-focused," Stiles
explains. "That's the hypnosis part; and the words then go into the mind and
they stick."
Dr. Stiles likens it to reprogramming a computer. "The subconscious mind is like
all that perfect memory where the habits are stored," Stiles adds, "it's like
the hard drive of a computer."
A typical session starts out with anywhere from one patient to up to 15 clients
relaxing.
Once they're in the "alpha" state, Stiles says he begins to plant the seeds that
he claims can change your life.
After the hypnotherapy session, patients must listen to an audio tape for
40-minutes a day for 21 days. Stiles says it helps engrain the proper tools in
the deepest recesses of their minds.
Seven months after their hypnotherapy session, both Debbie Kasper and Tony
Fontana have kept off the weight and regained a healthier lifestyle.
