Cancer and Hypnosis
There are numerous studies on hypnosis and cancer. Interesting is not that hypnosis is becoming more common place in patients with cancer as an alternative or a partnership kind of therapy, but that hypnosis can actually be beneficial to cancer patients.
Hypnosis is still considered an "alternative" form of therapy, but this option can help with pain, nausea caused by chemotherapy and may also help with eye-body connection, which allows a patient to heal within the treatments. "Alternative therapy has a negative connotation, but in this case, the alternative is not negative, and there is growing evidence to back this up.
California Department of Health Services and The National Cancer Institute conducted a study between 1985 and 1994 on 847 women who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. What this study found that women who have a great system, emotional strength and the ability to express positive were four times more likely to beat cancer than those without. The term "Fighting spirit" has been added to this study to represent these women. The study also showed that women who are not natural born warriors can get fighting spirit through hypnosis.
Hypnosis is used to positive proposals that make these women more open to talk about their struggle with cancer. Besides speaking, women are encouraged to take action and help other people become aware of the risk of breast cancer. In other words, by exchanging information, women are able to give hope to other women and it increases the chances of emotional strength and increases support system. In return, these women help fight cancer, mentally or physically.
Another study suggested that women who use self-hypnosis during cancer treatments lived 18 months longer on average than women who do not use hypnosis. Research suggests that these women were able to eliminate harmful stress and anxiety, remain calm during and after treatment and plenty of illness associated with the treatment of cancer.
These skills obtained through hypnosis, these women were mentally and physically to fight their cancer with more success.
Numerous other studies have been done to back up these data suggest that hypnosis is beneficial to cancer patients. Hypnosis will not cure cancer, but it is certainly useful, according to research carried out. Why not this is news? If anything will help a patient with cancer during their struggle, we should be good for her screaming from the rooftops. It is time that the stigma of alternative medicine and alternative therapies.
If fifty different research projects concluded that hypnosis can be beneficial to cancer patients, I think that patients should be made aware of this possibility. Because hypnosis is so effective for pain relief, can be used instead of pain medication. Instead of fighting pain medication addiction to the end of a long battle with cancer, a patient has a way to deal with the pain that is not harmful in other ways.
