In 2005, in conjunction with a Pharmacist colleague, Mr. Nathan Elliott,
Rick conducted Australia's first monitored clinical study to evaluate improvements
in the quality of life, using hypnosis as an adjunct to conventional medical
treatments. The participants of the trial were nine, medical doctor referred
and monitored, volunteers suffering various types of cancers at various
stages of progression. Both the Clinical and the experiential results were
very positive and ethics approval is being sought to conduct a much larger
study (all study participants were signed into the trail and monitored
independently by their Medical Doctors).
