What we do know is that hypnosis has been used throughout the ages to reduce pain from headaches, surgery pain and pain induced by cancer. We don’t have info that hypnosis could help to treat cancer.
Using the logic that you need to do everything right in order to cure cancer, and knowing that a positive state of mind is part of every cancer survivor experience, hypnosis could be used as one of the many factors that could help you survive. However, none of our cancer survivors is using hypnosis.
What some of our survivors do use are forms of relaxation. As we all know: stress on its own already is a killer, se we better reduce stress to the minimum when we want our immune system to fight of the cancer cells.
Since medical hypnosis is based on the principle that hypnosis utilizes a natural mental state of deep relaxation, one should consider hypnosis when trying to cure oneself from any disease. Add to that the power of positive stimulation – the same that smokers use to quit smoking with hypnosis – and hypnosis, like all other holistic treatments, should be considered when following chemotherapy or other conventional cancer cures.
