my moms a doctor.
she taught us self hypnosis as kids ,
so if we needed minor surgery we could do it without anesthesia.
it works, but it takes some practice.
me and sister and maid, have reset bones, dozens of stiches , and broken out teeth,
along with dragged ourselves into emergency rooms in bad shape, not even wincing.
dentists and doctors shake their heads at us.
all of us have had teeth pulled with zero opiates.
novacaine and we shake off the rest.
( we have cleared broken teeth from ourselves without novacaine,
and filed broken teeth with metal files even!)
im both handed, so ive stitched either hand, with either hand several times.
and im talking cuts that stop at the bone.
we have all been in BAD accidents,
me and maid were life flighted once, and were joking across the pavement at each other ,
as the chopper landed............
ER peeps said we were an hour from being dead.
we werent too concerned.
a month later , and several operations later we limped out of the hospital,
refusing opiates.............
so yes IMO it works.
mileage varies, youll have to read up.
hypnosis is well documented for centuries, although not fully understood.
and it does take practice.
it also works for sleep.
we party hard sometimes with chems that would keep elephants awake for days,
and ,then fall asleep like babies.
the year " i went broke" me and maid had to sell all our furniture,
so we trained ourselves to sleep on a persian rug on marble floors,
with NO blankets or pillows..........we did that for a yr.
in college, we used it to flash review for tests.
and we hypnotized other students wholesale..........
its highly useful stuff IMO
read about it, and practice.
its not the answer to all problems,
but id strongly consider it as a option.
as a disclaimer.
im really tough, and was trained as a govt contractor in advanced battlefield first aid.
for any serious medical condition, see a doctor.................were always alot of fun, live the legend.
