Places like the Wall Street Journal and others are talking about it.  OnMedica.com had this to say…

Hypnosis For Healing

The Wall Street Journal (p33) explores the benefits of hypnosis as a therapeutic aid for some patients.

The paper acknowledges: “The mechanism may be similar to the placebo effect- in which patients’ expectations play a major role in how they feel. Hypnosis, in turn, can help patients adjust those expectations to minimise pain, fear and disability.”

Even so the paper says: “Scientific evidence is mounting that hypnosis can be effective in a variety of medical situations, from easing migraine headaches to lowering blood pressure, controlling asthma attacks, minimising hot flushes and diminishing side effects from chemotherapy.

“Last week, two studies from Sweden found that one hour a week of hypnotherapy for 12 weeks eased symptoms of irritable-bowel syndrome in 40% of patients (compared with 12% in a control group) and that the positive effects can last as long as seven years.”

The actual fact is there are more scientific studies done about hypnosis for healing than any other drug on the market. The only thing that has more research data is the placebo.

Hypnosis and self hypnosis are well know for sports improvement, weight loss, smoking cessation, confidence building, etc. It has great success in helping mothers during child birth to have an easy, smooth pain free delivery. Hypnosis is also know for pain reduction and often pain elimination.

As a master hypnotist I whole heartedly agree use hypnosis for healing.
