CD remedy for morning sickness

continued from page 1
How does it work?
When listened to through headphones connected to a stereo or iPod the MorningWell programme works by interrupting the passage of signals between the brain and gut that would normally cause sickness.

The programme works in three phases:
Phase 1: The unique blend of music, specific frequencies and pulses contained within the programme draws the attention of the vestibular system away from pure balancing and general acoustic duties.

Phase 2: Once focused on the programme, the attention of the vestibular system is held and prevented from sending the emetic signals that cause morning sickness between the brain and gut.

Phase 3: The last phase in the MorningWell programme allows the vestibular system to return to normal operation by gradually reducing the core component materials to the point where they are reconstituted with normal audio signals.

The iVillage test
Some iVillage members (and morning sickness sufferers) were given the MorningWell CD to try, with the following instructions:

  1. Use the CD in a personal stereo with headphones or download to an iPod
  2. Start using the CD when you feel the first twinge of nausea or sickness – so keep the stereo and headphones with you wherever you go and put them on your ears immediately.
  3. Listen to all of the CD each time.
  4. What you hear is not necessarily what is working on your sickness, so keep the volume quite low and use the programme as long as you need to. Don’t turn the volume up – it doesn’t make it more effective!
  5. Carry on with your day-to-day activities as much as you can and try to ‘forget’ that you are using the CD.
  6. The effect is cumulative – it should work better each time you use it – so keep going even if you don’t notice an improvement to begin with. It reaches peak performance after about four days, then continues to work for as long as you need it.
