Ed Martin is a professional hypnotist who has worked for many years with hypnosis to assist in overcoming illness and disease. He has been a pioneer in using the tools of hypnosis for critical illness recovery and cellular regeneration. He is the developer of a technique called "Cell Command Therapy® and Cellular Releasing© which uses deep trance hypnosis commands to the cellular levels for restoration and regeneration. It has demonstrated results for many diseases and problems. In some cases it has caused the client to appear to grow younger.

Martin's career began as engineer, first as a civil engineer, then as a computer engineer and consultant, with hypnosis as a hobby. Finally an unexplainable healing experience using hypnosis caused him to rethink the way we program our minds and bodies. This caused his interest, study and work with hypnosis. With more that 20 years in the computer field, from IBM to private consulting, he began to see the parallels of the mind with the computer, and he developed these tools to work with man's own personal computer.
