Rave Reviews come in of my Surgery Headphones

Well I had a wonderful experience tonight at a banquet I attended. I was not expecting to know many of the people who were there, but to my delight, there was a woman MD who bought my headphones a few months ago for her knee replacement surgery! I had not heard from her and although I try to follow up with all my customers, had not gotten back to her. During the break before the speaker she saw me and came over to me with a BIG smile on her face. She said the the headphones did great and she was so thrilled the the doctors and nurses not only allowed her to wear them all the way through her surgery, but that they were quite excited and intrigued but the whole idea and said they had been reading about them! Needless to say, i was thrilled! Who's next??!!

Music during Surgery: A video report

This music was planned and played by my friend and mentor, Dr. Arthur Harvey. Since this was created, Dr. Harvey has moved from Honolulu to the Sarasota area. I will be in Sarasota from Oct. 22-26 and available to consult with folks about music during surgery. Let me know if you live in the area and would like to meet. More info to come! Stay tuned!

How does entrainment work?

Entrainment is the main reason why music during surgery works! In the process of entrainment, your bodies natural rhythms such as heart-rate and breathing, automatically synchronize with the pulse of music. In an everyday example, when you hear strongly rhythmic music such as high-energy disco music, rock-and-roll, or a Sousa march, you automatically start tapping your toe, bobbing your head or actually dancing! Research in music therapy has proven time and again that the body responds to music even when in a coma state or asleep. When you are under general anesthesia, you can still be tense, anxious and require the maximum safe dose of anesthesia. When you have slow, steady, soothing music coming into your brain through headphones, your body automatically relaxes and entrains with that music, thus allowing you to take the MINIMUM safe amount of anesthesia. My "Surgical Serenity Headphones" have only been on the market for 5 months, but already word is spreading and they are selling every day. If you are interested in using these for your surgery, but feel that you can't afford them, contact me and I will work something out with you! To read more about them click here.

Now anyone can have music during surgery!

Research has proven beyond any doubt that music during surgery is a powerful adjunct. As my pre-programmed, cordless headphones hit the market, research studies in hospitals and clinics from around the world pour into medical journals about the benefits of music to the patient, during surgery! Surgeons have been using their own iPods and CDs during surgeries for a couple of decades, but the majority of people did not realize that the patient's body was responding to the music too and that patient needed a very different type of music! As a musicologist with clinical/hospital training I have chosen the perfect music for YOUR surgery. Get them now and be prepared! Send my surgical headphones now.

More on Propofol

Well, it looks like Michael Jackson's personal 24/7 physician is the person who gave him the propofol that killed him.  There has been so much in the media that I don't want to belabor this but needless to say, this man is in big trouble and will probably do prison time, not to mention never practicing medicine again!
So sad.  What do we do to our entertainers that makes them feel that they are so different that the rules for other humans just don't apply to them?  Really tragic!

Why Propofol should only be in the hospital

Anesthesia in Jackson Case Tracked Posted Jul 14th 2009 6:35PM by TMZ Staff We've learned several pharmaceutical companies have been contacted by the DEA in the Michael Jackson case and we're told authorities are getting closer to identifying which person may have supplied the powerful anesthesia Propofol that appears to have killed the singer. Sources tell us law enforcement found vials of Propofol in Michael Jackson's house after he died. The vials all have lot numbers. We're told several days ago the DEA contacted Teva Pharmaceuticals -- which manufactured one of the vials found at the house -- to determine who purchased it. Teva sells Propofol to medical distributors, who then turn around and sell the vials to hospitals and doctors. And, law enforcement sources say, the DEA also contacted other manufacturers of Propofol from the other vials found in Jackson's home. Here's the problem. Although every vial has a lot number, the vials are not marked individually. There are thousands of vials in a lot. So the DEA and LAPD are trying to hone in on the culprit but, we're told, it's no easy task.

Surgery with music lectures for your organization

The word about music during surgery is getting out! I did a lecture this past Friday night at a large Presbyterian Church here in Louisville and then appeared on a widely-broadcast radio show here earlier this evening! Once people begin to understand what a huge benefit music during surgery is, the more they not only use it themselves for any medical procedure but the more they begin to tell their friends, family, and physicians. My goal is to have the wireless, pre-programmed headphones in every hospital, every doctor's office and in many homes as well. If you want to know more, go now to www.surgicalheadphones.com. As always, send me your questions, your comments, and your stories of music's healing power.
