A friend's 13 year old son Patrick has a developing deformation of the spine, first diagnosed as scoliosis:

"The physio guys simply said there was nothing that could be done and the surgeon followed suit and proceeded to warn us that he could be a cripple and his heart, lungs, kidneys etc would be compromised leading to his early death. So he wanted to perform two operations on Patrick's spine, one anterior, one posterior, fuse joints and insert two metal rods that would stay there for life."

Our friend is experienced in NLP and hypnosis and started using these alongside seeking other alternatives to operation. Then he had more news yesterday:

"Results from an MRI which we were told was clear turn out to show "Arnold-Chiari Malformation, type 2" which has complicated the issue. We are seeing a top neurosurgeon tomorrow and then we may know more about what to do next."

If any of you have specific experience in successfully treating this condition with NLP/hypnosis/therapies - ideally successful approaches to heal this without the need for surgery - please email: patricks.cure@gmail.com.

Many thanks,
