The study said over 50% of people had a significant reduction in phantom limb pain (not sure if that was long term). Apparently it helps reprogram the neurons in the brain and remove pain triggers. Sorry I don't have a link to what I read - but its Google-able I'm sure.

His Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kabat-Zinn gives titles of his work and other places you may want to check out. If you want order a CD of the interview, you can order it here: http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/transcripts/index.html. The title of the program was "Healing through Mindfulness". Well done on sticking to the no meat plan, how is it going without chocolate??
