YOUR BRAIN ON HYPNOSIS
View larger version | Studies show hypnosis reroutes brain signals. Hypnotized people who are told that their left hand is paralyzed show brain patterns (yellow) that differ from those who aren't hypnotized (red) and from those who aren't hypnotized but are told to pretend their left hand is paralyzed (green).

  • Back in 1961, when I was fourteen, I was hypnotized by an MD to get rid of warts. It worked. Recently, I was hypnotized for weight loss. Though I've gained a fair portion of the weight back, I'm still 60 pounds lighter than when I started.
