The BBC reported today on a study which took place at the University of Aberdeen where researchers looked at the sperm of over 2000 men in couples having problems conceiving. What they found was that the heaviest men had a higher proportion of abnormal sperm, as well as other problems. It is thought that this may be due to haivng too much fat around their testicles which causes them to heat up. Being obese is already known to affect women's chances of getting pregnant, so if both parties are obese, this could have a significant impact.

Dr Ghiyath Shayeb, who led the research, said: "Our findings were quite independent of any other factors and seem to suggest that men who are trying for a baby with their partners, should first try to achieve an ideal body weight..."

On the basis that other studies have also linked obesity to DNA damage in the sperm, plus how obesity can create problems in pregnancy, it is so important for couples to achieve and maintain a healthy weight at this key time in their lives. It is also an opportunity for a new baby to grow up with parents who live a healthy lifestyle and this will break the obesity cycle which often is passed on from generation to generation.

Here we are again writing another blog post about someone going under the knife and using self hypnosis to relax them to a state whereby they feel no pain.

In this case, the lady was Bernadine Coady, 67 who used the skills she learned from a hypnotherapy course 15 years ago to bring herself into a deep state of relaxation. This isnt the first time she has used self hypnosis in this way, ten years ago she underwent an operation which involved a surgeon sawing into the bone of her foot, using only hypnosis. At the time she said: 'I said to myself that if I had any pain I was going to liken it to waves lashing against a sea wall. Every time it happened, I thought it was the pain going away, like the tide. '

In a BBC News report yesterday, she stated that she could feel "tugging", and there was some discomfort, but no pain

A spokesman for the National Council for Hypnotherapy was quoted in the Telegraph Newspaper, saying that the technique has been used for centuries for pain relief. He added: "It is used often other countries, for example Belgium, as an alternative to anesthetics and patients report that it is very successful, that they feel no pain during their operations."

In addition to the impact during an operation, people using hypnosis in this way are often reported to have quicker recovery times.

Hypnosis can be used for controlling pain in many circumstances, it is now more commonly being used by dentists, for childbirth and and where a person experiences pain which is otherwise untreatable. The key thing about controlling pain is as Bernadine rightly points out is to be totally relaxed, this way, the bodies own natural pain killers (endorphins) can be utilised. Then, by using visualisations you can stay in this state and manage any levels of discomfort as they may come and go.

If you would like to learn more about hypnosis, we will be covering how to handle pain plus many other interesting topics in our workshop in Brighton, UK on 29th and 30th November 2008. To find out more, proceed to our training site form this link:

Try it on Everything is a new feature length film that explores EFT in a way that's never been done before. It combines the wisdom and experience of world famous teachers, speakers and motivators with an element that's usually missing: REAL LIFE CASES, unfolding before your eyes.

Ten people spent four days working with EFT practitioners to see if they could turn their lives around. The results are real and documented, and the ride is one you'll never forget. Check out the trailer for the movie:

Here at Subrideo we fully support films like this especially when they have programs like EFT Angels where they will send copies of the film to needy organisations. Check out our courses page to see how you can learn this amazing technique.

Here at Subrideo we like to support our students in building their business and getting their message out to their chosen audience. One of the ways we do this is to let them learn from the mistakes we have already made when building our business. One area that a lot of mistakes are made is in the area of marketing. It is one of the most important pieces in setting up your business yet one of the most misunderstood. Lets face it, you can be the best therapist in the world but if no-one knows about you it will be difficult to make a living out of it. The whole area of marketing has become more interesting with the advent of the internet and what are called web 2.0 on-line applications like Twitter and Google Reader. While it is more interesting and easier to get set up using these tools it can be an absolute minefield for those of us who are not totally familiar with these technologies and struggle to see how they all fit together.

This is why it gives me great pleasure when I find a group of people on the internet who are trying to fill this gap and teach people how to market themselves effectively and all for free. What is the Thirty Day Challenge? It is all about selling your first $10 online regardless of what your market is. The following is from their website:

In a nutshell... The Thirty Day Challenge is about making your first $10 online. For a full 30 days we are going to be showing you exactly how to start your own Internet business and generate your first income online without spending a dime.

That's right, this is going to cost zip, diddly, nothing, nada, ziltch. The entire training program is free, and you won't have to spend a thing to get your business started and begin making money. No credit card required.

They will teach you how to use tools such as:

1. Twitter
2. Google Reader
3. Flock
4. Stumble Upon
5. ..... and a lot lot more

Which are all amazing tools to get your message out there and raise your online profile. I highly recommend signing up and checking this out as quickly as you can as it starts on the 1st August and there are a few videos to go through before then to make sure you have all the tools set up to start the challenge.

Apparently, they ran the same challenge last year and there are reports of some of the people who took part having sold well over a million between now and then. I don't know whether that is true or just effective marketing but we could all do with a little of that I think

Sign up and this time next year we could all be millionaires.

Tomorrow (14th June 2008) is World Blood Donor Day. See this from the World Blood Donor Day website:

Millions of people owe their lives to people they will never meet – people who donate their blood freely and without any reward. However, the overwhelming majority of the world’s population do not have access to safe blood. Over 80 million units of blood are donated every year, but only 38% are collected in developing countries where 82% of the global population live.

This is something that we at Subrideo fully support and as a result give blood on a regular basis. When Juliet and myself created Subrideo one of our main drivers was the ripple effect. We really like the idea that helping a person not only helps them directly but ripples out to the interactions that that person may have with their family, friends and people they work with. The difference you can make to the world by helping just one person is huge and you never really know where those ripples will stop. Who know, maybe they never do.

The same thing can be said when giving blood. You take half an hour out of your day to give blood and within a matter of hours that blood broken down and each part is ready to help someone who you may never meet. When giving blood it is great to think about the ripple effect and all of those lives that you will be saving by donating a little of your blood and time.

However, the thought of giving blood can send shivers down some people's spines for a large number of reasons whether this is because they have a fear of needles or a phobia of blood. These issues are more common than people think and and a good number of these people would love to give blood if given the chance. It is for this reason and to support World Blood Donor Day that Subrideo is offering FREE treatments for your phobia so long as this leads to you giving blood.

Come along and get your phobia dealt with once and for all, give blood and save some lives.... it is as simple as that.

Contact us now to see how we can help you save the lives of people you will probably never meet.
