For the last 16 years Dr. Mazansky’s interest has been focused in the field of complimentary medicine, particularly in mind /body techniques of Guided Imagery, medical hypnosis, and longevity medicine.His direction has been to prevent illness and complications by engaging in a healthy life style with the use of nutrition, exercise as well as mind/body techniques of guided imagery and medical hypnosis. Within modern day medical practice in America, medicine, especially with regard to chronic illnesses, a great deal of time and expense is devoted to a host of investigative procedures to diagnose and treat disease. Prescription medication is the norm and side effects thereof abound.
After extensive study in mind body techniques as a method of self healing, it has become clear that the power of guided imagery and medical hypnosis empowers the patient to assist in self treatment of physical and psychological conditions. The practitoners of GI/MH, nutrition and exercise enable themselves to live longer, healthier, happier lives (darker from longer to lives).

I would like to recommend the free NAAFA Child Advocacy ToolkitSM (CATK) and other written guidelines/resources to assist you looking at programs.
A Yale Rudd Center report reviewed existing research on weight stigma in children and adolescents, with attention to the nature and extent of weight bias toward obese youths and to the primary sources of stigma in their lives, including peers, educators, and parents. As a result of weight bias and discrimination, obese children suffer psychological, social, and health-related consequences. http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/resources/upload/docs/what/bias/StigmaObesityChildrensHealth.pdf
Rebecca Puhl of the Rudd Center further brings to light the stigmatization of large children in the following article.

The NAAFA Child Advocacy Toolkit shows how Health At Every Size® takes the focus off weight and directs it to healthful eating and enjoyable movement. It addresses the bullying, building positive self-image and eliminating stigmatization of large children. The CATK lists resources available to parents, educators or caregivers for educational materials, curriculum and programming that is beneficial for all children. It can be found at:
