CANCER/ DIABETES/
CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME/ FIBROMYALGIA



  • CANCER/ DIABETES/ PHANTOM PAIN

    ALPHAMUSIC WORKS WELL WITH CANCER AND DIABETES PATIENTS TOO!!!
    Malgorzata Chodak is a clinical psychologist, therapist, trainer and supervisor for the European Socio-Somatoanalytic School, former President of the Polish Somatotherapy Society and a member of the European and International Somatotherapy Society. She has worked with patients who suffer from pain syndromes for twenty years. Her many years experience in the CMUJ Orthopedist Clinic enabled her to become a specialist in the individual psychotherapy of patients with pain syndromes, a psychotherapist specializing in patients with phantom pains and cancer, using methods of visualization based on the work of C.Simonton and J.Achterberg. She also works with deep consciousness changes and transcendental experiences. She is the author of over 30 publications and a hundred reports on international congresses, conferences and conventions. Recently she received a European Psychotherapy certificate in Vienna.

    A few years ago she met John Levine, a composer that creates therapeutic music ideal for use in her work. ”I′ve been using all sorts of music and it depends on the individual patient′s preferences and needs. If they are unable to decide, I choose the music for them,” says Malgorzata. ”Right now I have lots of patients who need immediate relief. I play the music in the background or sometimes as fragments that we listen to in silence. In the most severe cases, the time is limited as those patients exert a lot of energy in short periods of time. I played my first copy of ′Silence of Peace′ until it wore out! I also used it for general relaxation in less severe cases. All my patients seemed very settled when I played them John′s Alphamusic. Some of them even took it to play it in their homes in their personal time.′

    One of Malgorzata patients was Tom. He was about 60 years old when his legs were amputated due to his severe diabetes. He was brought into clinic in a wheelchair. It was very sad to see him suffering; his wounds were reluctant to heal at this point in time and he felt that he had had a bad experience with doctors. He went through almost every form of therapy available and he was told that there was no treatment that would help him ease his pain. At this time, doctors refused to treat him and he was left to deal with his phantom pains alone. ”It happens sometimes with phantom pains that conventional medicine becomes useless, but it is important not to give up and to search for other, less conventional, methods that may help,” Malgorzata told us.

    Tom discovered that Malgorzata works with amputees and decided to try her methods. ”I remember he came only twice to my clinic and it was enough. I worked with him using relaxation method and I played him John Levine′s ′Silence of Peace′ CD to relax him” recalls Malgorzata. ”It was an amazing experience for him. He felt that his absent limbs were being massaged, that he could connect properly with them, and then he felt his pain evaporate. He experienced his first moments pain-free whilst listening to John′s Alphamusic. He was over the moon. The time came for his next appointment and he told me that his pain had stabilized at a reduced level of 50%. After our last session, again using John′s Alphamusic, he called and told me that he felt able to move on, that his life had changed and that he felt like a new person.”

    Tom′s case is a signal, an opportunity for patients who cannot find help in traditional medicine to not give up hope.

    DEALING WITH CHRONIC PAIN AND BEREAVEMENT
    Madeleine′s story

    Madeleine is already retired, as she suffers from Fibromyalgia. She′s also been struggling with bereavement after her best friend Diane died.
    Madeleine′s health problems began after a tragic car accident she was involved in, in 2002. She had always been a sociable, extroverted person who loved company, but subsequent to the crash and then her best friend′s death, she developed symptoms of depression and agoraphobia, preferring to stay at home, rarely receiving guests. Sadly, Madeleine also hid her feelings and problems from her family and admits she became very clever at disguising them.
    Negative voices and thoughts hounded her, causing insomnia and she then started experiencing strange pains in her body. She couldn′t get comfortable in bed and could never relax: ”The more tired I got, the worse the pains became.” This pain and insomnia cycle is the most debilitating aspect of Fibromyalgia.
    Being told that her condition was incurable made Madeleine′s depression worse, yet somehow she believed there must be better ways to manage her symptoms than taking drugs. She began looking for natural therapies instead.
    She tried various treatments, including relaxation music, but none gave her relief and some made her irritable feelings even worse. By the time she met John Levine, every ′New Age′ CD and alternative therapy she had tried had wound up in the rubbish bin.

    Fighting Hopelessness
    About a year ago Madeleine met John Levine for breakfast at a local cafe. Ironically they discussed various methods to help people who had become physically weak through illness. As they chatted, John noticed Madeleine′s low state of mind. Naturally concerned for her and wanting to help, he gave her a copy of ′Silence of Heart′ and encouraged her to persist with listening to it.
    Madeleine recalls how she went home, put the CD on and immediately felt that the music was intrusive, invading her thoughts and stirring up uncomfortable emotions. She quickly decided she couldn′t stand John′s music; in fact she simply hated it!
    Nevertheless, John′s suggestion that she shouldn′t give up - on life or on the music - somehow stuck in Madeleine′s mind and she was determined to try and follow through. She kept playing the CD, without pausing and found she still didn′t like it very much. Eventually she decided to give the music a rest. After a little while, she reasoned with herself that it was just music and couldn′t possibly do her any harm, so she tried again. This time she found as she listened to ′Silence of Heart′ that her mood began to lift a little and she felt noticeably more comfortable. As her mind became serene, she felt her whole body letting go as all her muscles that had previously been holding so much tension unwound as if they were magically unknotting themselves. Madeleine, for the first time for as long as she could remember, slipped into a state of peace and relaxation. She started to have the reassuring feeling that ”everything would be ok”, and with that she took a deep breath and sighed.

    ”It stops my mind from racing, calms my body and lulls me to sleep.”
    Madeleine has now listened to Silence of Heart many, many times. In fact she claims to have played it over 100 times in one week! She listens to ′Silence of Heart′ whenever she has trouble sleeping or feels down and even uses it as a background to her housework. ”It stops my mind from racing, calms my body and sends me to sleep. It′s wonderfully reassuring.”
    For Madeleine there is no question about the effects of John Levine′s Alphamusic: ”I call ′Silence of Heart′ a friend! It hardly leaves my CD player! John′s music relaxes my body, calms my restless mind and in that way it also helps relieves the pain and alleviates my suffering. Now I am able to sleep again. Anyone who has the kind of emotional restlessness that affects their sleep and consequently affects their whole quality of life should give John′s Alphamusic a go. Take a chance - you may find it helps you go forward.”

    MUSIC TO DEAL WITH CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
    Rachael story

    The hardest times.
    Janice, is an unemployed single mother of four children, fully devoted to her family, who leads a complicated life. When her younger daughter Rachael was thirteen years old, doctors diagnosed her with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. From that day Janice had to care for Rachael on a fulltime basis.
    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) or Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS), is a disease that affects the central nervous system and the immune system. It causes tiredness and the inability to perform daily tasks. Every kind of activity makes the symptoms worse and any attempt to rest doesn′t improve the patient′s condition. The exact cause of CFS is unknown. It′s been said that improper functioning of the immune system or some form of virus may contribute to emergence of this disorder. Typical symptoms of CFS are persistent fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, sore throat, forgetfulness, lack of concentration and disturbed sleep patterns. Anybody could contract it, however, it affects four times more women than men. It develops most commonly in people in their 40s and 50s. However, children can also develop CFS, although it usually develops in late teenage years.
    In the beginning, some of the family found it very difficult to believe that Rachael was suffering from this disorder, they thought that perhaps she was pretending because she didn′t want to go to school. Her situation got progressively worse. It all started nearly four years ago from Glandular Fever; a viral infection causing a sore throat and fever. Rachael was extremely ill for three weeks and her doctors said that this triggered the virus. Her immune system stopped working properly and as a result she was constantly ill. As soon as one infection cleared another one would occur, becoming a vicious circle. She lacked the energy to go to school, so she spent her days at home in bed. Rachael was very tired, pale, couldn′t focus or concentrate, and had to give up attending school due to her health problems. She also became sensitive to loud noises which caused her a great deal of discomfort.
    The whole situation was really difficult for the entire Wilson family to cope with. This was a frustrating time for everybody; her mother worried not only for her daughter′s physical health, but was concerned for her emotional well being too. It is not normal for teenage girls to never go out! She spent thousands of pounds and exerted massive efforts into helping her recover. She was very keen to find a natural, holistic remedy. In spite of her illness, Rachael was a very intelligent girl, she was so driven and competent that she studied independently away from her home, when she was well enough. Teachers visited Rachael to assist her learning as well as her mother providing constant academic and emotional support. Before she fell ill, Rachael was very lively and active girl with a particular fondness for horse riding and socializing. She also enjoyed ice skating, cycling, roller-blading and playing the piano.
    There is very little medication available to treat CFS and doctors are reluctant to prescribe painkillers, because of the risk that the patients may become addicted to them, due to the longevity of the illness. In hospital Janet was told that Rachael′s immune system needed a boost. Her doctors proposed various treatments, among them, vitamin infusions. Many of the suggested treatments were very expensive, costing upwards of a thousand pounds - unrealistic for the budget of a single mother surviving solely on benefits and alimony from her ex-husband. After her numerous treatments which would keep them in hospital for up to 8 hours at a time, and hospital visits sometimes a long way from their home, Rachael was understandably very tired and drained from the travelling.

    Sunshine after the rain
    Rachael′s sister, Sarah, was shopping one day in Cambridge when she met John Levine at his display stand. After a few minutes of talking to John, Sarah reached for the ′Orange Groove Siesta′ CD and looked at the information written on the back of the sleeve, noticing that others had reported that the CD had helped others to overcome sleeping problems. This was the one of the biggest problem that needed to be addressed in Rachael′s case. Sarah was curious as to whether this might work for Rachael, so she rushed home excited to tell her mother about her discovery. Janice was intrigued and decided to give it a try, hoping it would help relentless fight to heal her daughter. The next day, full of hope, she came into Cambridge to buy the ′Orange Grove Siesta′ CD. ”I wanted something which would help her to get a good night′s sleep. People with Chronic Fatigue experience problems with that. Their sleep patterns change and they go to bed very late at night and wake up several times.” explained Janice. ′Orange Groove Siesta′ was played in the background when Rachel was ready to go to bed. It was the first time that Rachael had had a good night′s sleep in a long time. She woke up in the morning fully refreshed. ”It had never happened before. It was a breakthrough. From that moment she was getting back into her normal sleep pattern. Big progress for my little sister.” said Sarah, her sister.
    The music was played for another six months, every time Rachael was ready to go to bed. Her health began to improve. She is nearly a hundred percent better now, although she still easily picks up infections, each episode is not nearly as eventful as had been the case in the past. She is full of energy again, like old times. She goes with her sister to parties, stays for the whole night and the next day is absolutely fine. Her life is returning to normal. ”Rachael is being able to sleep and getting up at normal times, happy and healthy” expresses Sarah joyfully. ”Everyone has noticed a difference in her behavior. She can go out!” Her mother is looking for a job and has some time to herself now. She doesn′t worry anymore about leaving Rachael alone because she knows she is capable of taking care of herself. Rachael loves horses and next year she plans to go to college to learn how to work in the equestrian field. ”Eighteen months ago I would never have predicted that my daughter would go to college or could do so many things. It′s wonderful that she′s got back her life and has so many options available to her.” said Janice. Rachael has also started painting mountains, using Alphamusic to help her focus on her art. The mountains on her paintings look realistic, are very beautiful and worth seeing. The Wilson family recommends John Levine′s Alphamusic to any one who is experiencing similar problems and have never looked back.
