Hypnosis: Treating Allergies

Doctors have long noticed that it is enough to turn the process of receiving patients into a complex ritual, and the word immediately acquires magical power. Irrational psychotherapy is used when the patient comes to the doctor with a preset and it is necessary to overcome it so as not to interfere. The robbers, bumping into the watchman, just kick in the head so that he would be cut off. So it is here. Irrational actions, impressive, temporarily block consciousness, allowing the healer to place a self-perceived thought under the lamps of the surgical table …

The first who brought hypnosis from the folk-gypsy level was Ivan, ours, Pavlov. His experiments on dogs allowed him to create the doctrine of conditioned reflexes, which is today the foundation of rational psychotherapy. In particular, I. P. Pavlov (and later M. K. Petrov) caused experimental eczema in animals (with peeling, baldness, exudative, weeping, dry with itching, etc.) part of the brain . They experimentally proved that the peripheral nervous system, like the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, can equally cause even such painful processes as skin inflammation. To prove this theory, the well-known hypnotherapists P. P. Podyapolsky and V. N.

Particularly interesting is the experiment of P. P. Podyapolsky, when he once immersed a peasant in hypnosis, placing a piece of newsprint moistened with water on his back, with the suggestion that it was a "mustard plaster". Seven minutes later, when the paper was removed from the subject's back, the doctor, to his disappointment, did not see the slightest redness. Upon questioning, it turned out that the peasant, having lived up to the age of 68, does not know what a "mustard plaster" is and how it is used. Three years passed, and P. P. Podyapolsky again met this man. It turned out that during this time he twice suffered pneumonia, and he was treated including mustard plasters, which were placed both on the chest and on the back. The experiment was repeated. This time, a bright erythema appeared on the subject's skin, as if from a real mustard plaster. Thus, the conditioned reflex mechanism of the suggested skin lesion was proved. "The word, thanks to the entire preceding life of an adult, is associated with all external and internal stimuli … and therefore can cause all those actions, reactions of the body that cause those irritations" (IP Pavlov). The well-known dermatologist A. I. Kartamyshev gives a whole list of suggestive skin diseases: eczema, scaly lichen, urticaria, alopecia areata, lichen simplex, pruritus, pemphigus, cutaneous gangrene, nail changes, warts.

Nevertheless, skin diseases are only a part of allergic ailments. Here you can add such symptoms as rapid breathing, high blood pressure, spasms, convulsions, an increase in blood sugar, etc. »In relation to bronchial asthma. The scientist considered this disease "a typical example of a well-established pathological conditioned reflex."

What reflex are we talking about?

Frolov explained as follows: "two foci of excitation, arising simultaneously in the cerebral cortex and in the center of regulation of bronchial tone, coincide with each other in time." According to Pavlov's doctrine of conditioned reflexes, a temporary connection is formed between such foci of excitation. For example, the bright smell of raspberries, accidentally coinciding with a coughing attack, can become an association of an unhealthy condition of the bronchus - an "anchor" as psychologists say. If this happens, then the person, barely catching the characteristic aroma, will burst into coughing. Over time, the "game of sick bronchi" will develop into a real pathology, since the body will sooner or later physically. Doctors examining these changes will identify bronchial asthma. YP Frolov defines this diagnosis as "a typical conditioned interoceptive reflex, which fixes the once established relationship in the cerebral cortex."

Alas, all diseases are from nerves! The demonstrated example of how a trait forms an object (not vice versa!) Allows us to assume that any disease with a reliable clinical etiology is based on a certain product of neuro-cerebral activity. Let us recall the method of neuro-cerebral influence on human physics, popularly known as "the method of Porfiry Ivanov." A person gets fever, and his - into the ice-hole, and from where he gets out completely healthy. If the disease is a germinated (for example, according to the allergic principle) impression, then it can be erased at the expense of another, stronger impression. Such an impression for every normal person is the fear of an ice hole in combination with a thermal burn from the "bathing" itself. Here you will forget your mother, not only the flu. Stuttering after fright disappears in approximately the same way, and all "civilian" diseases such as colds or rheumatism disappear in soldiers during hostilities. Talk about turning on the full capacity of the immune system, of course, has the right to life, but is only a fragment of the big picture. After all, an emotional shock that stimulates the body's defenses is, in fact, an assessment or even an attitude to what is happening from the side of the brain. “Walruses,” for example, receiving the same thermal burn and seeing the same wormwood, are in an even mood, because the consciousness of these people does not find anything special in what is happening.

The physical impact on our mortal flesh in itself does not mean anything - the body's response at the cellular level is formed in the head. If consciousness reports to you that this is "horror", then you begin to rush and experience pain, and the skin gets damaged (for example, during a fire). And vice versa, under the same circumstances, your consciousness can give the opposite assessment of the situation, and then you, like that nestinar, will calmly walk on red coals with bare feet and feel nothing at the same time. Thus, pain, like other feelings, is not a signal to the brain from the suffering flesh, but, on the contrary, a command to a given part of the body, coming from the head. So the conclusion we have with you will be frightening: the fun and suffering of a person does not depend on physical influence from the outside on his body and its organs!

One more step, and we will be ready to ask ourselves a question about the nature of the imaginary existence we observe, but in this article we will not take this step. We have a different task. We want to understand how to heal the flesh using external influences, not physical, but hypnotic. We have established that the brain controls all clinical processes, including healing and recovery. The whole problem boils down to the "button" question. Where is it located so that you and I can turn on the unused opportunities of our gray matter?

There is an answer to this question. It is hidden in human states, which we call exaltation: rage, love, glee, grief, horror. God forbid, if one of these emotional dragons scorches a child up to four years old - consider that for the rest of his life he will have a nervous breakdown. So mums and dads, before the onset of conscious age, do not allow strong emotional outbursts in the reactions of your children - 90 percent of my patients were mentally traumatized at this tender age.

Adults are another matter. For a person with a developed psyche, the state of exaltation, or, to put it another way, the state of hypnotic trance, is that "button", pressing which opens access to the capabilities of the brain. And there you and I are primarily interested in the conditioned reflexes of a person. After all, among them there are those that we do not need. In the language of medicine, they are called psychosomatic diseases. They can be turned on and off. During a hypnotherapy session on one of the earliest levels of the patient's memory (up to 16 years old), I discovered a trauma that triggered an already obsolete conditioned reflex in the form of a skin disease. By activating this memory under hypnosis, I was able to make sure that the redness on the skin of my hand appeared in full accordance with the clinical picture of psoriasis, and when I erased the painful memory, the redness on the skin also disappeared, as if it had never existed.

IP Pavlov wrote: "suggestion is the most simplified typical conditioned reflex of a person", as if addressing us - the unbelievers, who are inclined to look for the devil knows what in hypnosis, but not the great gift of self-improvement. For three hundred years, scientists all over the world have been looking for signs of danger to humans in hypnosis, as a result, in Europe and the USA, hypnotherapy has been officially instituted as a method of medical care. For comparison: psychoanalysis, despite its frenzied popularity, remains an activity that has nothing to do with medicine.

Hypnotic trance is our healthiest and most natural state. We do not even suspect that we are in it several times a day, when, for example, we think about something, read or just wonder, admire, get angry, rejoice, fear … hypnosis! Why? Because all the states mentioned are united by one feature: a person at this moment is detached from everything. He is emotionally focused on one thing. Those who are given such concentration better than others become arbiters of destinies. Napoleon, Beethoven, Einstein, Suvorov, like all other great people, knew how to completely "turn off". The memoirs of their contemporaries describe them as absent-minded, bizarre, or even ill-mannered people, but we hypnotherapists know that they have earned their reputation for the ability to instantly plunge into a trance in order to mobilize their resources for a specific intellectual problem. And the deeper the trance, the more ingenious the solution. From the outside it looks like inappropriate, and sometimes even as offensive behavior, but in fact this is a manifestation of a high human nature. In this regard, I suggest that teachers, parents, and at the same time the new Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, recall what attracts the attention of the classic poor student? Is it not soaring in the clouds? Is it not for such students in modern Russian schools that settling classes with a simplified educational program are organized?

Yes, not everyone God gave a "button", so for the majority, that is, for people who are harmonious and sociable, there are hypnotherapists. Debunking the myths around this profession, I will say that hypnotherapy is most appropriate to compare with obstetrics. After all, a hypnotherapist only helps the patient to "give birth", that is, to realize the ability inherent in him. Another thing is that this ability is unevenly distributed in people. In someone it can be easily developed, such people master self-hypnosis (contact), but most require the usual mode of editing their own personality, in order, under the guidance of an experienced "midwife", to carry out the procedure for getting rid of a devouring passion or obsession. As a rule, we are talking about one or more "phobias" (irrational fears), as well as about completely bodily diseases (see above), obtained as a result of emotional shock. The elimination of such disorders requires two to five sessions, each of which takes three to four hours. So you don't have to be Napoleon to take advantage of what made him great - just contact me or my colleagues. True, to come to the idea that you need this, you must also be able to concentrate. Well, don't let me down …
