Default Freezing? Read this.
Now, from the research firm that brought you "banding", allow me to introduce "spinning".

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...20&dopt=DocSum

The above will take you to the abstract and google will find the full thing. I tried it this morning and IT WORKED!

Short and simple, they put 13 PWP with serious freezing into motorized desk chairs and spun them around until they felt nauseous. Max speed was one rotation every four four seconds. Average time was about five minutes. It cut freezing by an average of fifty percent and took five days to come back to baseline with no additional treatment!

I just tried it and was startled as was my wife, the power source. I would like to know if it affects anyone else.
