ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ERASE YOUR LOVE?
This is an impossible love story…
Cooper came home unexpectedly early that day. The day her world collapsed. The day she heard things she shouldn’t have. Saw things she shouldn’t have.
Now Cooper is running away. Driving recklessly. Blindly. A broken heart spiralling out of control after witnessing an earth-shattering scene.
Then Cooper discovers the website. Speaks to the doctors. Can they help her? Can they give her the treatment she desperately wants? Yes they can. They can do something mind-blowing.
They can surgically erase her love for her husband Jethro.
Only what appears to be the perfect solution sets off a devastating chain of events not only for Jethro and herself. But one also involving their teenage son Daniel in ways she can’t imagine.
A life-shattering moment. A rash decision. An easy solution. This isn’t just a love story. Not when a heart isn’t just broken, it is irreversibly silenced.
This is an impossible love story.

THE SUE BAXTER PODCAST
SUE BAXTER
Hello and welcome to another episode of the
Sue Baxter Podcast Show with your host, Sue Baxter. We look at controversial
issues in the news and ask how did this happen?
Tonight is a special introductory episode
we’re live streaming on YouTube and iTunes, Spotify and Facebook. You can send
us your tweets, comments and emails to the links in our show notes.
Now, Dr John Applegate’s book A Mindful
Reminder – The Gateway Programme Trials, has only recently been published and
makes for fascinating reading. Tonight’s what if? What if it were possible to
surgically delete your affections permanently for someone you love? Well in
fact we know it is possible from a surgery pioneered by Dr Applegate and Dr
Stewart-Way just a handful of years ago. This evening our guest is one of the
co-authors of the book detailing this miracle technology. Hello Dr Applegate.
DR APPLEGATE
Good evening Sue.
SUE BAXTER
Dr John Applegate is a behavioural
psychologist specialising in phobia treatment. He teamed up with Dr Klara
Stewart-Way, a highly regarded neuroscientist, to pioneer a method of PTSD
treatment using a revolutionary new brain surgery called – now let me get this
straight – Fluorogenetic Synaptic Deletion – which they simply call The Gateway
Programme. Did I say that correctly?
DR APPLEGATE
Perfectly.
SUE BAXTER
I gather The Gateway Programme is a kind of
brain surgery. Tell us about it.
DR APPLEGATE
Thank you Sue. Yes, The Gateway Programme is
an advanced form of optogenetics we call Flurogenetics as you mentioned in your
introduction. Before you ask what optogenetics is, I’ll admit it sounds like
something to do with the eyes doesn’t it? It is in fact the science of
controlling the brain’s internal processes using light in fibre-optic cables.
However, Dr Stewart-Way pioneered an advanced method without fibre-optic
cables.
SUE BAXTER
By all accounts it seems the results have been
nothing short of miraculous.
DR APPLEGATE
We’re happy to say Gateway House has treated
military personnel and police traumatised in active duty, treated postnatal
depression, treated victims of crime and victims of disaster, all with
successful outcomes.
SUE BAXTER
And from what I gather, your patients are
sufferers who have visited psychiatrists and counsellors for, in some cases,
years. Your programme offers to cure them in a single treatment.
DR APPLEGATE
Actually Sue the programme works over a course
of a few preparatory treatments but yes the final treatment takes just under
five minutes.
SUE BAXTER
Tell us what led to your – and Dr
Stewart-Way’s – incredible discovery of The Gateway Programme.
DR APPLEGATE
Well, before we set up Gateway House, Dr
Stewart-Way had been treating soldiers with Flurogenetics. I was working in an
adjacent field treating patients suffering extreme phobia. At the time we were
unaware of each others’ work. It was a fluke encounter which put us in touch
with each other and, as a result, The Gateway Programme was born.
SUE BAXTER
There is one case which made The Gateway
Programme famous isn’t there? Her name is Cooper Hall and she was the wife of
recording artist and performer Jethro T. Hall.
DR APPLEGATE
Cooper Hall came to us seeking help in dealing
with something that is sadly the bane of many relationships – infidelity. She
approached us with an intriguing question – whether it was possible for us to
use The Gateway Programme, which up till then had been used purely to treat PTSD
– to undo her affections for her husband. She was going through a traumatic
emotional breakdown and suffering from severe panic attacks at the time. We’d
never considered using The Gateway Programme for that purpose so Dr Stewart-Way
and I had long talks not only with each other, but also with various
professionals and independent members of the ethics committee about treating
her. As you know, Cooper Hall became the first beneficiary of The Gateway
Programme specifically for that purpose several years ago.
SUE BAXTER
Jethro T. Hall first came to fame from a
somewhat ironic song Looks Like Love after being a struggling singer for years.
It was because of his fame Gateway House hit the headlines.
DR APPLEGATE
We were well-established within the mental
health fraternity but yes we attracted mainstream attention after Cooper Hall’s
involvement.
SUE BAXTER
In fact it’s when Jethro T. Hall first made
public statements how The Gateway Programme destroyed their marriage your
practice became the centre of a media storm.
DR APPLEGATE
Mr Hall has been outspoken about his views
against us using a PTSD treatment to treat emotional relationship issues.
Cooper Hall however stands in defence of our work at Gateway House and
continues to support what we do.
SUE BAXTER
Today Cooper and Jethro remain separated.
They’re living in different countries I’m told.
DR APPLEGATE
Cooper lives in Ireland now, yes.
SUE BAXTER
I note on your website The Gateway Programme
came about in part because of spiders. Is that correct?
DR APPLEGATE
Well yes Sue, you’re talking about a patient I
treated for arachnophobia when I ran the phobia clinic.
SUE BAXTER
The spider case is itself interesting isn’t
it? I mean, who’d have thought a spider could lead to a treatment that deletes
love.
I'm a British author who loves page-turners. It doesn't have to be a thriller. It can be anything, I just want to feel that desperate urge to turn the page. And if it grabs me on the first page...or the first paragraph...or the first sentence...Well! All the better.
I worked in the television industry for many years. However, though I’ve worked with words all my life, I’ve only recently decided to do something with it. I have a love of radio dramas and audio books and my writing has been heavily influenced by both.
I live on the English coast and love sea and nature reserve walks whenever I get the opportunity (at least once a week, sometimes more). I also love to wake early, long before the rest of the world has caught up with me.
