Shirrans’ Solution – The Gastric Mind Band
The obesity epidemic continues to take hold around the world, resulting in an ever-growing number of potential ‘solutions, The surgical Gastric Band has become one of the most talked about, followed closely by The Gastric Mind Band the procedure was developed and trade marked by two English therapists at the Elite Clinic in Spain.
Last year saw Hay House worldwide launch of their book Shirrans’ Solution – the Gastric mind Band it is the book they have written to make at least parts of the technique accessible to people in their own home and at a fraction of the cost.
The idea of using the subconscious, rather than invasive gastric band surgery, to convince people they can eat no more than a fraction of their stomach’s normal capacity – a Gastric mind Band ® – has caught the publics imagination. Since their technique hit the headlines in the UK and overseas press, therapists Marion & Martin Shirran’s clinic in Southern Spain has been inundated with calls & emails with clients now flying in from around the world.
The book begins with a typically blunt look, Shirran style, at the simple truth of today’s mammoth global weight problem – if you eat only when you’re hungry and eat more slowly, you’ll lose weight. Marion and Martin pull no punches, preferring to ‘talk straight’ to the reader. It’s a bit like tough love. They make it quite plain it’s the overweight person’s decisions, their choices; their eating habits, which have led to the problem in the first place, and it has therefore got to be their choice to make changes.
The couple aren’t the first to put some of these ideas on paper but they have a distinctive hard-hitting style, and they are the first to have backed them up with a series of sessions using their own blend of Gastric Band Hypnosis culminating in the one in which the reader can go some way towards being ‘fitted’ with the Gastric mind Band. They also have firm views about how surgical Gastric Band procedures (or any bariatric weight loss operations) are often unnecessary and how the public’s perception of success rates should be better informed. They’ve equally strident thoughts on weight-related illnesses.
There is a natural progression in the book, mirroring the format used one-to-one in the clinic situation. Furthermore, in the same way, the narrative uses many different scenarios, styles, some light-hearted, some blunt, some more measured: as Martin & Marion know & say, everyone takes things on board in their own way so they need to be sure to try as many different approaches as possible!
