Hypnosis Can Help Control Pain Among Women with Metastatic Breast Cancer, UB Researcher Finds02/25/2010 Complementary therapies, while not given the attention that more traditional cancer therapies may receive, are perhaps equally important while undergoing treatment for certain types of cancer. Patients diagnosed with difficult to treat malignancies will often use these types of therapies in conjunction with traditional surgical, chemotherapeutic, or radiology techniques to form a more comprehensive and effective treatment regimen. Among the most important and effective alternative therapies utilized by those
diagnosed with cancer is hypnotherapy. New Rochelle, NY, February 12, 2010—Hypnosis has potential therapeutic value in children with respiratory disorders for alleviating symptoms such as habit cough or unexplained sensations of difficulty breathing and for lessening a child's discomfort during medical procedures. Proper utilization of hypnosis as an adjunct to conventional treatment and its ability to use the mind-body connection to bring about physiological changes are explored in a provocative paper in Pediatric Asthma, Allergy & Immunology.
I am not surprised by these findings since hypnosis has proven so beneficial for children visiting my practice for other issues, click here for more information on these services SUPERMODEL GISELE BUNDCHEN USES HYPNOSIS FOR PAIN FREE LABOR AND DELIVERY by Marlene Pardo BS CMH02/04/2010 No doubt her supermodel status has brought attention to the circumstances of her delivery; however there is a growing number of women who now opt for a gentler way to bring a child into the world.

What the Study Showed
Regular sessions of hypnotherapy can markedly ease discomfort and improve the quality of life for most people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These were the findings of a 2002 audit carried out at a British hypnotherapy unit devoted solely to the treatment of this common bowel disorder; they were published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology. A new breed of therapist is healing the mentally ill not with talk and drug therapy but by releasing troublesome or malevolent spirits who have attached themselves to their victims. I am not talking about religious healers like Francis McNutt, but secular healers, some of them licensed psychiatrists or psychologists, who have discovered, often by accident, that this new therapy works better than what they learned in medical or graduate school. They tell us that too often drug therapy only masks symptoms, and talk therapy reaches only as deep as the patient's conscious mind can go. But "spirit release" usually heals, often permanently. Not only does it heal the client; it heals the attached (or "possessing") spirit. TO READ THE REST OF THE ARTICLE On March 27th, 2006 PBS – TV aired their new show New Medicine. The program highlighted a process that Ron Eslinger, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) owner of Healthy Visions Wellness Center started over 20 years.
New Medicine stated that Blue Shield of California saved an average of $2000.00 per patient undergoing surgery by simply having them listen to a guided imagery – hypnosis CD prior to surgery. The results were less pain, less nausea and vomiting, and faster healing than those who did not listen to the CD. So why doesn’t every surgeon and every hospital offer their patients the same opportunity to have less pain and faster healing? Only they know.

To read the rest of the article Over the years I have noticed how everyone's beliefs can differ in relation to whether they think that smoking is an addiction or simply a habit. This core belief has a missive impact upon how easy or how difficult you find it to stop smoking. If you think that you are addicted to smoking then you will find it more difficult than if you thought it was just a habit. Your thoughts and beliefs shape your experiences about everything in life, not just stopping smoking.
Not only will believing in the addictiveness of smoking impact upon how easy you find it to stop smoking, it can also create a justification for remaining a smoker. It becomes easy to say to yourself "I'm addicted now so I can't stop smoking" and then not even try. Also, if you think that smoking is an addiction, it is easier to fool yourself into the belief that continuing to smoke is not your fault - that you cannot help yourself because you are the victim of an addiction. This thought pattern is anything but empowering! If Israeli professor Eliahu Levitas has his way, women undergoing IVF treatment will all have the benefit of a hypnotist at their bedside.
According to Levitas’s team from Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, hypnosis can double the success of IVF treatment. Levitas’s study of 185 women found that 28% of women in the group who were hypnotized became pregnant, compared with 14% of those who were not. | MarleneShe is an experienced certified master hypnotist, working in traditional and alternative areas of hypnosis
