HEALING WITH HYPNOSIS Talking with the Body the Mind and the Spirit
The primary purpose of the brain is to keep us healthy. Reasoning and rational thought came later. The brain has its own pharmacy to keep the body healthy and when the body heals itself, we call this the Placebo Effect. This is usually ignored by the engineering mentality of modern medicine. When it is used and stimulated with hypnosis, the powers of the unconscious placebo effect can sometimes be all you need to sometimes heal yourself without drugs or knives. In 1955, Henry Beecher of Harvard Medical School...found that a third of patients who were given placebos were cured (It is now over 40%). The symptoms included: postoperative wound pain, sea-sickness, headaches, coughs, anxiety...Subsequent studies have added to the picture: improvements in high blood pressure, angina, depression, acne, asthma, hay fever, colds, insomnia, arthritis, ulcers, gastric acidity, migraine, constipation, obesity, blood counts, lipoprotein levels...If such a treatment suddenly became available, we would believe that we have discovered a new wonder drug comparable to penicillin. Moreover, no system of the body appears immune to the effect and the effects of placebos can be more potent than expected drug effects.
