Press Release Summary: The public interest in the Gastric Band, and its ability to
achieve a seemingly consistent, week on week weight loss, has been fueled by almost
daily, positive media coverage, along with celebrity admissions of its use, and the
timing of all this interest for two therapists in Spain could not be better.


Press Release Body: Spain, June 17, 2008 -- The Gastric mind BandT. Imagine if you
were overweight and being hypnotised, waking up fully convinced that you had just
undergone a medical procedure, involving the fitting of a Gastric Band around your
stomach. In the following weeks and months you continued to experience all the
sensations expected by a person who had physically had a band fitted, including the
steady and continuous weight loss. However, even through your mind band is producing
virtually identical results, there has been no surgery or general anaesthetic with
none of the associated risks, and of course you haven't spent £7,000 plus on the
procedure. All sound like a dream? Well maybe not anymore.

The public interest in the Gastric Band, and its ability to achieve a seemingly
consistent, week on week weight loss, has been fuelled by almost daily, positive
media coverage, along with celebrity admissions of its use, and the timing of all
this interest for two therapists in Spain could not be better.

At the small, British run, Elite Clinic, close to Marbella, in southern Spain, they
have spent the last twelve months fine-tuning their Gastric mind BandT therapy
(GmB). The treatment involves six pleasant and relaxing sessions at the clinic,
which can be spread over anything from 7 to 14 days, at least one of the sessions
will involve deep hypnotherapy during which the mind band will be mentally fitted.
Just like the recipients of the conventional gastric band, the clients are invited
back to the clinic to have the band adjusted to suit the agreed rate of weight loss
over the following months.

The therapy used is an unusual combination of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and
Hypnotherapy, each being used to 'underpin' the other. Clinical hypnotherapy has
been the subject of several television documentaries recently featuring stories of
gruelling medical procedures, each unbelievably being performed using hypnotherapy
rather than a conventional anaesthetic. A recent prime time BBC documentary even
went so far as showing a female dental patient having four front teeth removed, and
screw in implants fitted, all amazingly without any anaesthetic being used, just
deep hypnotherapy.

The now medically accepted and all-important Mind Body Link may yet prove to be the
answer to the worldwide obesity epidemic. The benefits of the (GmB) approach are
many not least of which is the small matter of the saving of the £7,000 treatment
cost, also there is no hospitalisation, no having to undergo surgery, so no MRSA
risk, no concerns re having a general anaesthetic and no risk of having DVT, to name
just a few.
