What is HYPNOTHERAPY?
HYPNOTHERAPY is a therapeutic treatment or healing treatment administered while the patient is in a state of Hypnosis and is a proven technique which can assist people to recover from addictions and disease. The power to heal is within each and every person. I am privileged to have witnessed some amazing results in the healing of many illnesses, even some considered "incurable" by practitioners of traditional medicine.
The HYPNOTIC TRANCE STATE is perfectly safe regardless of your current health status and is an ideal state to effect healing. Research shows that the average person uses between 5-10 percent of their mind capacity. Through HYPNOSIS it is possible to use up to 100 percent of your potential to create wealth, prosperity, and abundance and enjoy perfect health.
In the HYPNOTIC STATE you can even experience your wildest fantasies.
PLACEBO EFFECT
The Power of the Sugar Pill
Julio Rocha do Amaral, MD
e Renato M. E. Sabbatini,PhD
When a medicine is prescribed or administered to a patient, it can have several effects. Some of them depend directly on the medicine's pharmacological action. There exists, however, another effect, that is not linked to the medicine's pharmacology, and that can also appear when a pharmacologically inactive substance is administered. We call it "placebo effect". It is one of the most common phenomena observed in medicine, but also a very mysterious one.The placebo effect is powerful. In a study carried out at the University of Harvard, its effectiveness was tested in a wide range of disturbances, including pain, arterial hypertension and asthma. The result was impressive: 30 to 40 percent of the patients obtained relief with the use of placebo. Furthermore, the placebo effect is not limited to medicines but it can appear with any kind of medical procedure.In a trial to test the value of a surgical procedure (ligature of an artery in the thorax) to treat angina pectoris (pain in the chest caused by chronic heart ischemia), the placebo procedure consisted in anaesthetizing the patient and only cutting his skin. The thus fictitiously treated patients showed an 80 percent improvement while those actually operated upon only 40 percent. In other words: placebo acted better than surgery.
What is the placebo effect?
How can it be explained?
The knowledge about the placebo effect was very much enlarged with the medical need to perform controlled clinical trials,a scientific methodology largely used to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of new medicines. In these trials a placebo is obligatorily administered to a control group of patients, and later the results of this group are compared with those obtained in the group that receives the active medicine, whose action one intends to demonstrate. The bigger the difference in the results between the second and the first groups, the bigger the pharmacological effectiveness of the studied substance.Very soon these studies made doctors notice that placebos had much more effects upon the studied diseases than anticipated. In some cases the placebo side-effects outreached those of the active medicine. Consequently, there was a great increase in scientific researches aiming to clarify what is this effect, why does it happen, what is its physiological bases, etc . Since the placebo effect can be a real one, calling forth beneficial changes in the patient, it can be very useful in clinical practice.
The Healing Power of Placebosby Tamar Nordenberg
One patient stands out in the memory of Stephen Straus, M.D., for her remarkable recovery, more than 10 years ago, from chronic fatigue syndrome. The woman, then in her 30s, was "very significantly impaired," says Straus, chief of the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "She had no energy, couldn't work, and spent most of her time at home." But her strength was restored during a study to test the effectiveness of an experimental chronic fatigue drug. "She and her parents were so thrilled with her recovery that they were blessing me and my colleagues," recalls Straus, the principal investigator on that study.Turns out, the woman's quick turnaround from chronic fatigue occurred after taking placebo pills, not the experimental drug. Straus says, "She was amazed by the revelation that she'd gotten better on placebo."Like many drug studies, the chronic fatigue medication trial was a "placebo-controlled" study, meaning that a portion of the patients took the experimental drug, while others took look-alike pills with no active ingredient, with neither researchers nor patients knowing which patients were getting which.
Placebos in the Doctor's Office:
Opposing Views Today
When 26-year-old Jennifer Kennedy (not her real name) from Rockville, Md., has a panic attack, she simply distracts herself with a book or crossword puzzle. But at their height, several years ago, the attacks scared her so much that she finally went to the emergency room. "I thought I was going to die from a heart attack," says Kennedy. She didn't believe her doctor when he told her to "just relax" and she would feel okay, and he ended up prescribing pills. He didn't tell her until two weeks later, after her panic attacks had subsided, that the pills were simply placebos with no active medical ingredient.Kennedy admits to feeling deceived when she first found out the pills her doctor prescribed were fake, but says she now appreciates the doctor's decision to prescribe the placebo. "At first, I felt stupid. But that day at the hospital, the doctor must have realized I wasn't going to accept 'you're fine, it's all in your mind.' The placebo helped me realize that I'm not unhealthy and I'm going to be okay. Now, I think it's really neat that something that didn't really affect me had such a big effect on my life."

"Dear Bill,
This is a joy to do.
Thank you my friend for saving my sanity. My life was all desperation and uncertain feelings.
Thanks to you I can now feel happy to walk into crowds, to speak to strangers with confidence is something never done before. I wake each day with the joy of living. Before I had constant thoughts of how to end life. Now constant thoughts of how to enjoy life have taken their place. All this is thanks to you. I pray for you and your lady daily.
May your paths be always smooth and be all leading to home and love.
Thank you so very much."
