"Suggestion can be a powerful tool to assist you in losing weight and eating well to promote optimum health. With their combined expertise in nutrition and hypnotherapy, my colleagues Joy and Steven Gurgevich have put together a CD album that is a great resource. I will recommend it to all my patients who want to change their eating habits and maintain the changes."

"Dear Steve, Now that I have had a chance to use for several days the tape (#48-Immune/Cancer/ChemoRx Support) I ordered from you I want to tell you how very much I am enjoying it. In fact, it has been such a wonderful experience that I don't quite know how to put this into words, but I'll try. Initially, what I loved about it the most is the fact that you have, somehow, brought together all of the things I've consciously learned in the last 10 years. How did you do that? Listening to the tape has been a great help in reminding me of what I already know. And then yesterday, oh my, what an unexpected delight! I listened to the tape about an hour before popping into the shower, my most insightful place. My hair is falling out in spades and I was constantly unplugging the drain. Yet I was overcome by an intense feeling of joy. Go figure. Falling hair seemed like such a minor thing in the big picture. I felt completely tapped into my center. Perspective, perspective, perspective. And I credit your tape for helping me to remember. I didn't expect to be able to find joy in my life for quite some time, yet here it is. What a wonderful Christmas present! Thanks so much, Steve, for your help."

"Dear Dr. Steve, The session with you last Thursday was wonderful; thank you. Since that time I have been totally comfortable with my upcoming surgery. I have been practicing daily and seem to be able to go into a trance state very easily. I don't maintain too well but if I am using either of the tapes I can last that long. My surgeon is being totally cooperative and has agreed to a local anesthetic plus a very small amount of a mild sedative (I couldn't win them all) delivered through the dreaded IV. The tapes and head phones are fine with her. I plan to put myself under before the IV scenario. I love going into a trance and feel like I can do it any time anywhere without the tapes. It is better and more dependable with the tapes (Surgery and Recovery #33). This is a whole new world. Met with Dr. Jim Nicolai this morning for my follow up in the clinic and saw Dr. Andy W., too. They were both helpful and supportive of my plans. So things are going well for me, thanks to you."

"Dr. Gurgevich: Great! Tape was for my 17 year-old son and he is using it pretty much daily and achieving results. The change is visible to us and he is even acknowledging it. Less obsession and depression over broken out skin is probably the greatest improvement."

"Since I was a young child I had difficulty sleeping due to unexplained fears. I underwent one hypnosis session with Dr. Steve Gurgevich which helped me to identify the origin of my fears. Since that time I have been using his Transformation Sleep tapes every evening. I have found them very helpful in my transition from a stressful day to a peaceful, calm, relaxing sleep. Since my session with Dr. Gurgevich my fears associated with my sleep have diminished."

"I recently ordered the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Tape. Have been using it as directed for about 3 to 4 weeks and my condition has improved measurably. Have had one flare-up, but I have been afflicted with this very distressing disorder for 3 years or more, and I am grateful for any improvement, believe me. I have great hopes that the improvement will continue. Am now ordering the tape for Lupus for my daughter."

"Thank you for your prompt service. The tape arrived within a few days and I started using it right away. The results have been amazing! I have suffered with IBS for over 30 years, and had lost hope that anything would help. I gave up on traditional medicine years ago because the medication prescribed made me incredibly tired. As a result, life has been an endless journey of planning everything around food.....what to eat, what not to eat, what time to eat, etc. It seemed that I could barely digest anything normally, and spent an inordinate amount of time with intestinal spasm. It was a depressing and difficult way to live. I saw your tape mentioned on a message board for IBS, and thought it was worth a try. I must tell you that I noticed a difference right away. My entire system calmed down and began to function almost normally. I also started taking some digestive enzymes and acidophilous at about the same time, but I truly believe that the tape has been responsible for most of the change. I will continue to use this tape, and have already recommended your website to a friend who has Crohn's disease. She is only in her 30's, and I suspect that the IBS tape might be very valuable for her condition, also. Perhaps you might think of doing one for Crohn's patients? Thank you, thank you, thank you and all blessings to you and your wonderful company for providing healing and health to those who suffer."

"I started the cassette in a darkened room and left with our lhasa, Loo-See, for a walk after I saw Shirley was "into-it" at mid-morning. We returned within a couple of minutes of the conclusion. First, I saw she "awakened" without any grogginess and instead was more refreshed than she had appeared when she awakened from the night's sleep at 7:30. Her face was peaceful and her "body language" bespoke of comfort. She had complained earlier of back strain which she had caused by lifting our great-grandson yesterday. I initiated an appraisal and I wish I had recorded her response: "Oh, that was very, very good; very soothing, very restful. He has a soothing voice. I was barely aware that you had left the room." I came to realize that she thought we had been gone for just a few minutes and she was amazed to know it was at least 20 minutes. I told her where we had gone and what we had seen and she was amazed. It appears that 10AM is a good time for her to start, but she may also repeat the tapes when retiring."

"Thank you so very much for the audio tape! It is wonderful - so healing and so warming. Your descriptions of my "special place" are so accurate that it is easy to complete give myself over to it. There are images you put in there that I had forgotten and it was wonderful to see and feel them again as they once were. The energy field you've created is especially wonderful. To put peace at its base and then use that to grow and accomplish is comforting and exciting at the same time. Regarding the accomplishments and the feeling of success or lack of it. This helped me realize that I had been unconsciously belittling what I had done because it wasn't what I had ONCE done. It wasn't others who were putting me down for the "smallness" of my accomplishments. It was me! Anther plus - using the image and warmth of the sun to heal and not threaten. I found it so easy to direct that image to the places of pain. All in all, Steven, a wonderful healing tool - emotionally as well as physically. Thank you for adding to new dimension and a new feeling of hope!"

"With lupus and epilepsy, maintaining a positive attitude and dealing with varying pain levels has been an uphill battle. After working with Dr. Gurgevich's audio tape for a month, I feel more comfortable, more in control of my life and reinforced in my outlook toward positive changes."

"My wife used one of your tapes to prepare for her tonsillectomy at age 31. It is generally a painful surgery for adults and many people offered her horror stories of the aftermath to expect. But thanks to listening to your tape before the surgery she was relaxed. It went very well with very little bleeding and pain afterwards. In fact the next day she was helping me build a deck on out house. She used very little pain medication and had a rapid recovery. She tells people that she did so well because she was prepared, relaxed, and her body was in a "healing mode" thanks to her hypnosis tape. WE both thank you for making her surgery a positive experience!"
