Hypnotherapy Can Help Your Liver
March 6, 2008
When people are stressed, their body produces glucocorticoids to regulate the body’s functions. In laboratory experiments, mice were treated with glucocorticoids and their liver suffered as a result.
When you’re stressed, extra immune cells are released and it is thought that these may be what kills certain liver cells. It is also thought possible that these inhibit the flow of blood between the brain and the liver, worsening liver disease Read more

Hypnosis CD For Overweight Lesbians
March 1, 2008
All good hypnotherapists know that it can be challenging to get results using a purely scripted, generic hypnosis session. This is why most hypnotherapists offer a free, no obligation consultation so they can have a little time to tailor their session for the individual.
This is why a lot of self-hypnosis CD’s cannot work for everyone. For example, even something as generic as a stress or relaxation session may not work if the induction includes lots of water scenes or guided imagery and you happen to have a phobia of water. Had you visited a professional hypnotherapist, this would have been covered in the pre-talk and the therapist would know not to bring up the subject of water in a useless effort to encourage you to relax!
However, it seems that self-hypnosis CD’s are Read more
