Doctor Uses Self Hypnosis For Invasive Surgery

Dr John Butler undergoes surgery using self hypnosis instead of anaesthetic.Fascinating viewing.

Hypnosis for surgery is a multi facted tool in that, it cal help to relieve some of the anxiety BEFORE an operation - this in itself can reduce pain, because we expect a certain amount of pain and discomfort about any operation we may make the actual amount of pain experienced more than it is.

  Hypnosis can combat the pain during an operation as shown and also positive suggestions given in the weeks leading to an operation (about the prognosis after surgery) can also help the patient to recover much quicker than without.

The mind tells you when pain is there, so it should follow that the mind can alter the pain felt.
