Ask Roger: Will hypnosis help with GERD?

Hypnotherapy can be an effective alternative treatment

“Hi Stu,

Yes, I think that online hypnosis can help you with GERD. I can’t guarantee that you will have no symptoms like your cousin but I do believe you can at least achieve a reduction of symptoms.

 Laurie Keefer, PhD, an associate professor in the departments of medicine and gastroenterology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, is an expert in the brain-gut connection and its influence on digestive health.

According to Dr. Keefer, hypnotherapy can be an effective alternative treatment for patients, one that is backed by scientific evidence and is now being offered at medical centers and via telemedicine throughout the United States.

Antidepressants work on the brain to help improve comfort level. With hypnosis, we’re doing that but without an antidepressant. It’s all neuromodulation. You can take a pill like an antidepressant or you can use hypnosis brain-gut therapy. The goal is to modulate the relationship between the brain and the gut.

There is more that I would like to know about you. Let’s set a time to chat on the phone. This will also give you a chance to ask me questions that you have and we can get you scheduled.

I invite you to download Orange Blossom, my free 27-minute hypnosis MP3 download and listen daily for 2 weeks.

I look forward to working with you.

My best wishes,

Roger”
