Calming Affect for Huntington's Disease:  Rhonald Lucas had Huntington's disease. The last month of his life, his behavior was so erratic that the nurses were afraid he was going to throw himself out of bed. Rhon's sister, Donna, brought the tape, COMFORTING LOVE, for him to hear. The results were dramatic. His body movement and his breathing completely calmed down after listening to this tape for one hour.
Rhon had always accepted his disease process, but the music enabled him to have total peace and calmness. It helped him with his fear of closing his eyes and going to sleep. His sister would sing along with this tape whenever she visited him, and this helped him with his fears as well.
Rhon's hospice nurses discovered his erratic body movement returned whenever the tape was not playing. Whenever it was time for them to bathe him, they put the tape on and sang along with it. The calming affect of this music was extremely therapeutic for all involved.
Another Huntington's Disease Testimony: A nurse called me recently about another female patient in her late 30's with Huntington's Disease. She is in the later stages of her disease. She has two children and a husband she won't see anymore, because she doesn't want them to remember her how she is now.
The nurse told me this patient cries constantly. She played the tape, LIFTING LOVE, and the patient immediately stopped crying. As long as she hears the Comfort Series tapes, she does not cry. The message on these tapes has given her peace.
