Research has shown that folks with autoimmune diseases (when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks itself) such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and others can be helped via hypnosis, meditation, guided imagery, and other forms of focused trance. This is a very good thing.
According to the U.S. National Women’s Health Information Center:
- Autoimmune diseases affect more women than men, and tend to run in families.
- Symptoms may come and go, with no symptoms for a while, then a sudden, severe attack called a "flare-up."
- Symptoms and severity can vary greatly from disease to disease.
- Medication can help control symptoms, as can reducing stress. Meditation and self-hypnosis also have helped some people.
- People with an autoimmune disease should practice healthy habits including getting regular exercise, eating a proper diet, and getting plenty of sleep.
The information presented above is based upon studies that used the self-hypnosis or autotrance model. Those who seek help with a competent qualified hypnotist or focused trance guide will find their results may be different as trained and experienced guides or hypnotists can more effectively guide a person into state and teach them how to more reliably use processes to help with their symptoms.
Please do understand that at no point should anyone assume that focused trance work or hypnosis should be considered a replacement for competent medical care. However, it makes a wonderful supplement to such care and has been shown to be helpful for many people.
All the best,
