Tonight on Mythbusters (9pm on Discovery) they'll be putting a whole bunch of hypnosis myths to the test. Judging by the previews, it looks like they're covering both hypnosis therapy and stage hypnosis.

I'm sure the episode convinced a number of people to be more open, accepting, and willing to use hypnosis.

They Failed to make someone do something they didnt want to and had success in improving someone'e memory.

Sounds like they got it exactly right then.

I am glad they cleared up the thought that so many peoeple have, that hypnosis is mind control.

The mythbusters proved everything on this sight to be wrong. So this sight is just a load of shit I guess...

So this past wednesday, they revisited hypnosis, this time concentrating on self-hypnosis (in this case hypnosis through CD's)

They tried 3 different hypnosis CD's. Cure Seas Sickness, Cure Fear of Bees, and Change Eye Color. All 3 failed. The Sea Sickness one was the only that came close to working as Grant (the subject) did take longer to get seasick after listening to the CD.

Discovery will be repeating it. Episode is called "Grenades & Guts"

by **Draygone** » June 15th, 2007, 8:05 pm

Even though Grant got results, he called it "Busted" because it didn't out-right cure him. They only listened to their hypnosis for a week.

My grandma and I just sat there thinking how wrong they are. (My grandma used hypnosis to eat healthier, and it most definately worked.)

It doubled the amount of time it took him to get sea-sick though. The first time it only took 17 minutes and it was about 34 the next time. Adam remained exactly the same however he passionately felt it would not work. Grant, on the other hand, really wanted it to work and felt it really could work. Imagine if he kept listening. Plus, they only listened to it once a day for a week.

by **OMGWTFBBQ** » June 16th, 2007, 4:14 pm

They don't understand science. What they've 'proven' is that hypnosis isn't effective in under a week. If the myth was "Hypnosis will totally reform your psychology after seven listens of a self-hypnosis tape, while under the pressure of a TV production crew." then they can call it busted. Otherwise, they can go fuck themselves.

by **oh2bpreg** » June 17th, 2007, 9:57 am

For those saying "well, they only gave it a week!" Keep in mind that that they followed the instructions that came with the self-hypnosis CDs. They said Grant's and Adam's CDs said they could cure them in a week.

by **Jack** » June 17th, 2007, 1:54 pm

Is it possible that the CD instructions said "as little as"?

Every human has male and female chromosones in them. It's just the number mix that is different.
