Tired of all the naysayers in the comments...

I'm getting really tired of all the naysayers in the comments, so I thought I'd share a link to an interesting little article that should help people understand the true power of the human mind. It's an article on multiple personality disorder. It discusses multiple case studies where patients with MPD exhibit physical changes when switching personalities. Multiples gain and lose allergies, scars, and even medical conditions like diabetes and epilepsy when switching personalities. Injuries disappear and reappear when switching personalities. And it's all the result of the power of the subconscious mind. Hypnosis simply seeks to apply some control and choice to what the subconscious mind does, it doesn't cause the subconscious to do anything that it doesn't already do to people all over the world every single day.

I put this in the success stories section as I figured this might be of help to anyone looking for a little reassurance. If it's deemed inappropriate I apologize. Also, I'm not a psychiatrist of any kind, nor am I comparing hypnosis to mental disorders, simply sharing some information that I feel may be pertinent to the topic and may not be very widely known.

Further reading for those that are interested, I would recommend "The body electric" by Robert O. Becker. It's largely about the effects of electromagnetism upon living things, but it sheds some light on some otherwise obscure scientific discoveries. I think this might be helpful as I keep seeing people make claims that "there is no scientific evidence for ..." Well during the course of the research used in the book Becker developed a tool that allowed him to detect the flow of Chi through the human body, this allowed him to map the Chi pathways, and ultimately identify the physical structure within the body responsible for Chi. This provides scientific evidence in support of what eastern mystics, and martial artists, have known and said for two thousand years. So just because you haven't read the peer reviewed report on the topic, is not proof that there is no scientific evidence in support of an idea, and even if there is no peer reviewed report, that proves nothing more than the fact that no one has written one yet.

Actually, what you write gets to the heart of the issue. If there is no peer review, there is no science. Saying something is “scientific” has a specific meaning, and it is not simply that someone used a bunch of technology or instruments to investigate a phenomenon. One of the key elements that makes an experiment “scientific” is its reproducibility If I conduct an experiment and get a certain result, that's fun. If you conduct the same experiment using the model I document, then it becomes interesting. If many people follow the model and attain the results, then it's Science. Hence the necessity for peer review; without it, the results of any investigation can be accidental (perhaps due to an uncontrolled factor the investigator wasn't even aware of) or outright falsified.

Look up Michael Levin and Bioelectricity if your interested in this phenomen too.

This guy has flatworms growing heads where tails were and vice versa with this.

I'm interested because I've done healing work since I was about 7, can feel it pretty solidly and had a decent success rate - often without belief/placebo (as far as I can ascertain). However, I lack interest in being a new ager/mystic/religious about it and am keen on finding science, real science behind it. In this subject, I hold out some hope that actually it's related to bioelectricity because if I can get it proven, it can be taught and improved upon massively. Whereas I'm just guessing, feeling and trying stuff out!
