Dr. Schechter is able to explain the mechanism involved and tell you not only what to think about pain but challenge you to explore how to think about pain to get relief…

*** Interview ***

 

DavidSchechter_pain book Your book addresses a very common and challenging problem: pain. With so many traditional and alternative medicine treatment options available to pain sufferers, how are your methods different?

Most pain treatment methods are based upon the premise of a bio-mechanical reason for the pain. In Think Away Your Pain (Your Brain is the Solution to Your Pain), we explain a brain-based, mind-body, psychological and cognitive based treatment method.

 

Are these methods practical for most people and for most types of pain? Who is most likely to benefit and least likely?

If your problem is truly structural, the program is not for you. The program however is for the millions of people with prolonged, persistent, chronic pain that has been hard or Impossible to treat effectively in conventional and alternative medicine. The pain persists, it’s hard to pinpoint ,the treatments don’t work, or are temporary and…. The stress is building up and makes the pain worse.

 

How difficult is it for someone to master your methods so that pain relief is achieved?

Like anything worthwhile, it takes some time and effort. But the point is—it’s a treatment you learn and empowers you to heal. It can end the seemingly endless trips to practitioners to seek relief. Rather, it teaches you to change the neural pathways responsible for the persistent pain.

 

How long does it generally take for these methods to yield results?

Varies from person to person. Some relief—days to weeks. Much relief, more weeks. Complete relief, a few months, sometimes less, sometimes more.

 

What is your message for skeptics who see your suggestions as example of “guru science” that causes people to reject proven traditional medical treatments?

I provide lots of scientific evidence from brain research, psychology research, neuroscience, that supports this approach in various ways. The scientific evidence is very powerful that this is not ‘guru’ science, or trickery. It is actually a brain-based, scientifically supported, research proven method for effective treatment of chronic pain in the back, neck, arms, pelvis, etc.

 

Is this your first book?     

No, The MindBody Workbook has been selling for fifteen years.

 

Tell us about your book? What inspired you to write it?

I wanted more people to learn about this treatment approach and method given the success I have had with over 2000 patients in my office.   I wanted to update the work of prior authors in this field.

 

Is this book part of a series? Do you have related books?

Related items include the MindBody Workbook as well as educational CD’s and DVD”s entitled The MindBody Audio Program and the MindBody Patient Panel

 

What do you want our audience to know about you? 

I learned this method when Dr. John Sarno treated me for pain while I was a medical student.

 

Who do you think will benefit most from this book? Who are you speaking to?     

I’m speaking to the pain sufferer who is willing to look at his/her problem in a fresh way, be open to a new paradigm (approach) and is willing to think psychologically, not physically about the problem.   (the brain, not the back, so to speak)

 

What do you hope readers will “take away” from reading your book?   

That there is hope for people who haven’t been helped by other bio-medical approaches to pain. That the mind plays a huge role in health and disease AND that your mind can be the solution to your pain problem.

Parents, teachers, neuroscientists and general readers will enjoy Moldofsky’s fast paced, quotable prose. His tongue in cheek cartoons help readers gain valuable perspective while learning about what scientists and teachers are discovering about the potential of games for learning and what current research has to say about its long and short term effects. With a B.Sc. in Cognitive Science and Psychology and a background as a screenwriter, Moldofsky displays a unique ability to cut to the chase when it comes to interpreting various studies and putting them in terms that make sense. “Braiming” also coins a new term to describe the interface between brains and games, and sheds light on new directions for the future.

Meet the Author: Dr. Donna Schwontkowski

At a very young age, Donna Schwontkowski surprised her family with a sketch of a pretty young girl’s face. Proud of what she had done, she was surprised when her family warned that becoming an artist was not a desired occupation for girls. Not knowing any better, she took what they said as gospel and transferred her passion to the development of intellectual skills and honed her cooking skills.

With a Midwestern work ethic, she busied herself by obtaining her first nutrition degree and worked in professional jobs until a friend told her all the medical sciences he was learning in chiropractic school. “It’s everything you always wanted to know,” he assured her, and she immediately applied, was accepted, and resigned as Dietitian/Director of Food Service at a 197-bed nursing home.

One time in her life, Donna returned back to her love of drawing the face when a marketing manager failed to organize memory seminars. Counting on the income from those seminars, she had to think and act quickly. She enrolled in a four-week art course in Chicago and the instructor mentioned how easy it would be to learn how to do caricatures. She invested in the video training, practiced on everyone she met, and the next weekend she was booked at a booth at a July 4th town festival. At that event, she made enough money to meet all her expenses.

While at chiropractic school, Donna saw the need for not only herself but other students to learn large volumes of information quickly. Because there was no system that taught medical students to do this, she created her own system, which was later named the Million Dolllar Memory Method. She set up seminars to help students master their coursework and they flocked to her seminars.

After graduating and practicing chiropractic medicine with an emphasis in nutrition and herbs for awhile, it was the 911 tragedy that prompted Dr. Donna to create a memory system for people to remember faces flawlessly. Her first book, Million Dollar Memory for Names & Faces, was followed by the Who Was That Person? book series – How to Identify Someone Just From Their Eyebrows, How to Identify Someone Just From Their Eyes, and How to Identify Someone Just From Their Nose. There are worldwide reviews for these books on the website, www.WhoWasThatPerson.com

Dr. Donna still enjoys giving keynote speeches and training in not only face recognition, but also nutrition, health and memory. She can be reached through her website.

The Psychological Autopsy of Elvis Presley by Bill Ronan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUTHOR PENS CONTROVERSIAL BOOK ABOUT
ELVIS AND POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

-Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Bill Ronan explores this in his book The Psychological Autopsy of Elvis Presley. The book studies the life of The King and offers a birds eye view inside his mind.

People typically think of soldiers when the subject of post-traumatic stress disorder comes up. However, PTSD is a problem that touches a much wider segment of society. From automobile accidents to illness to acts of senseless violence, trauma, loss of loved ones, etc.. it is a fact of daily life.

Unfortunately, many cases of PTSD go undiagnosed each year, with painful and sometimes tragic consequences.

It reveals the relationship Elvis had with his mother, how he felt about music, and much more that has never been fully understood, in a psycho-somatic way in any other book about Elvis. Yet it is drawn entirely from the books and literature written about him by those closest to him.

One of the main takeaways from the book is it gives the reader an opportunity to reflect on their own life and family and for clinicians to be able to predict the psychic vulnerability, that could lead to death.
