Parents Say Hypnosis Helped Sausage-Roll-Only 5-Year-Old Try New Foods

The reported breakthrough followed a single two-hour session with hypnotherapist David Kilmurry.

Overview

  • Greyson Theophanous, 5, from Wallington, Surrey, had been distressed when offered anything other than Greggs sausage rolls, crisps or garlic bread, his mother said.
  • His parents reported spending hundreds of pounds each month on frozen Greggs sausage rolls from Iceland to maintain his limited diet.
  • After the hypnotherapy session, they say he sampled ten items in one sitting, including spinach, lime, grapefruit, pomegranate seeds and apple.
  • According to his mother, Greyson is autistic and selectively mute, and the therapist quickly put him at ease during the visit.
  • The accounts of his progress come from the family and the hypnotherapist, with no independent clinical verification cited in the reports.
